HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 20th APRIL 1986

Falco gets a second week at the top with Rock Me Amadeus, managing to keep the challenge from Janet Jackson at bay as What Have You Done For Me Lately also spends another week stuck in second.




With both songs at the top in decline, It’s Immaterial move decisively into the Top 3 with Driving Away From Home looking a likely contender for next week’s number one.


This week also sees the return of Madonna as Live To Tell crashes in at number four, matching her previous highest debut, which came from her last number one, Into The Groove in August last year.
 Will Live To Tell be able to equal the success of Into The Groove, and provide Madonna with a fourth chart-topper?

It’s disappointment for Five Star though as Can’t Wait Another Minute fails to live up to the their last chart-topping single, with this latest release dipping to number five.


A-Ha also suffer a similar failure as Train Of Thought drops to number 10 and thwarting the opportunity to become the first act to take their first three singles to the top of the Retro-chart.


And here’s this week’s Retro Chart in full.....

[popchartfreak]

29th April 1986

It's a first week on top, making it over 17 years from debut to topping the chart, a new record for Marvin Gaye. Simple Minds get a second top 3, Wax get a first top 10 as a duo, or rather Andrew Gold gets one 9 years after his first, and Graham Gouldman 14 years after his first. The Big Sky bangs right in at 9, giving Kate 4 in a row off The Hounds Of Love album, and 8 years of 'em. a-ha get a 3rd top 10 in a row.

Whitney outdoes George Benson's original in chart performance as she hits the 20, Maxi Priest gets a first top 20, and Shalamar return A Night To Remember 4 years on from the first time it hit my top 10. From here-on the chart gets mega-volatile as last-week's deluge of new entries climb, while a deluge of 20 enter this week, meaning loads of tracks plummet, including classics. OMD go top 30 in a big climb, ditto PIL, and Icehouse, as Peter Gabriel swoops into the 40. Newies include Blancmange extending their run to 4 years, The Cure re-doing a great oldie that didn't hit, as Boys Don't Cry joins Rough Boys and Bad Boys - the latter giving Miami Sound Machine, or Gloria Estefan as they essentially were by this stage, another chart hit ahead of her actual solo launch. One and the same, same vocalist, same husband writer-producer, same success.

ELO are seriously back for a last time for a few decades (at least with Jeff Lynne), Fuzzbox debut with a longer band name and more of an indie vibe, Elaine Page gets another Chess musical song in my chart, so that's Benny & Bjorn of Abba making it two - Swedish protogee's Gemini enter with Just Like That, the 1982 Abba song that was never released in a finished form (though it did top my chart a decade later when a shortened version was released). Ted Chippington amusingly talks a Beatles classic into a laidback entry, Jean-Michel Jarre is another Spirit of 1977 to return, since his debut Oxygene Part VI peaked at 2. Only another 40 years to wait to top my chart (with Cyndi Lauper)...

Patti Labelle has dropped the girls of Lady Marmalade, and the shiny spacesuits, now opting 11 years on for a smooth soul duet with Michael MacDonald, now Doobie-less, and On My Own is just beautifully sad and beautifully sung by both. Annabella covers Peggy Lee's Fever a decade ahead of Madonna, Doctor & The Medics sneak in with a camp soundalike cover of Spirit In The Sky, 16 years on from the classic Norman Greenbaum, Level 42 start the great period rolling with Lessons In Love, Van Halen are David Lee Roth-less, and a bit toothless for me, and Limahl manages to drag another chart entry out 3 years on from Kajaverygoogooey acrimoniously splitting. Kaja who?

So many great tracks entering the chart this week, including a handful that were never to get anywhere near the Top 40. I'm torn - should I shine the spotlight on songs by Blancmange, Blow Monkeys or Sade which deserved much better ? No, for the second week in a row it is the Vindaloo label (1979-87), and the genius that is Ted Chippington.

This is the chart of 3rd May 1986. On this date Heart of Midlothian were close to winning the Scottish League but Celtic had to win with Hearts losing and also turn around some goal difference. Hearts lost 2-0 at Dundee with both the goals coming in the last 7 minutes, and Celtic won 5-0 away at St Mirren. Subsequently, no club other than Celtic or Rangers have won the Scottish League. Hearts did come 2nd again in 1988, 1992 and 2006.

Where an underdog did manage to win though was in the World Snooker, where Joe Johnson surprised everyone because he was virtually unknown going into the tournament and he beat Steve Davis in the final.

In the 2nd division, as it was then, Charlton came back from 2-0 down at Carlisle to win 3-2 and got promoted to the top division.

Some boys did cry, as did some grown men.
