HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 15th JUNE 1986

The Pet Shop Boys manage a second week at the top with Opportunities. It was a closely fought battle though with their margin down to just a five point lead.




It was a three horse race all week, with Nu Shooz being left stranded at number two as I Can’t Wait makes it a fortnight in the runner-up position.

The Housemartins show a surge in points as Happy Hour moves up two places to number 3 and looking a likely contender for next week’s number one.

Bananarama are back in the Top Five for the first time since Robert De Niro’s Waiting topped the chart in March 1984 as Venus moves up four places to number 4.

Highest new entry is from Wham! as their swansong, The Edge Of Heaven, debuts at number 8, providing them with an instant ninth Top 10 hit.

Biggest climb this week is from A-Ha as they register their fourth consecutive Top 10 single as Hunting High And Low moves up 19 places to land at number 7.

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

As The Thorne has pinched the video I was going to use which I actually watched the outdoor retro bits being filmed 32 years ago less than 1.5 miles away from me today ..... then my featured video is one of "The Bard from Barking"'s finest in this ode to the Four Tops vocalist and the emotional capacity of music on real life.

24th June 1986

2 weeks on top for Bucks Fizz as Nu Shooz are kept off the top spot, Sandie Shaw gets her 3rd top 5, Eurythmics keep the top 10's coming - just two misses since Sweet Dreams - and The Bangles make it 2 Top 10's, and a-ha 4 in a row. Highest new entry at 16 is the 20th anniversary reissue of Paperback Writer, last charting in 1976 for The Beatles, while The Housemartins get a first top 20, and Prince adds to his already long list of top 20's dating back to 1999 in 1983 and 1985 and will chart again in 1999 and 2016. Confused? 

Madonna's up 30 with Papa Don't Preach, to 24, Queen are into the 40, and the fab unknown A View From A Hill single No Conversation is in at 34. El DEBarge goes solo and asks Who's Johnny? Ask The Teacher! Big Country are one place lower. Real Roxanne is also solo and Bang Zoom - but not To The Moon Alice, one for TV's Honeymooners fans there, assuming any are still alive. The Temps are in at 59 with future chart-topper My Girl in 1991, and also another 2000's run, having predated my charts on 60's runs, but keeping the Motown back catalogue alive. 

Stevie Winwood is back, with his greatest solo track Higher Love, Steve Harley is also back to give him 12 years of chart entries, and the late Marvin Gaye is X rated posthumously giving him 17 years of chart entries.
