HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 26th OCTOBER 1986

The Pet Shop Boys make it four weeks at number one as Suburbia becomes the longest running number one since Sledgehammer in May.




This fourth single from Please also provides the Pet Shop Boys with their longest spell at the top. Their previous best was three non-consecutive weeks with West End Girls over last year’s Christmas period. Suburbia still has a long way to go to outperform West End Girls, which is the biggest debut single we’ve ever had on the Retro-Chart.


Suburbia’s lead has been drastically slashed.  With the competition breathing down its neck, does it have enough momentum left to become the first song in over two years to make it five weeks at the top?


Hoping to become their second number one song, Don’t Get Me Wrong by The Pretenders continues to climb the chart as it moves up to number two. It’s followed closely by The Stranglers, with Always The Sun at number three.


The Bangles challenge for the top looks to be over as Walk Like An Egyptian drops to number four, leaving Status Quo stuck at number five with In The Army Now.


Highest new entry is from the powerhouse collaboration of Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush. Both have achieved huge individual success on the Retro-Chart, will Don’t Give Up provide them both with a second number one?


Kim Wilde’s You Keep Me Hangin’ On is this week’s biggest climber as it moves up 17 places to storm into the tail end of the Top Ten. If this goes no higher then it will be her third single to have peaked at number 10 following Love Blonde in 1983 and last year’s Rage To Love.


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

LP Queen - One Year Of Love (1LP A Kind Of Magic)

My featured new entry is surely Bowie's most underrated song of the 1980s. The title track of the 1986 British animated disaster film by Raymond "The Snowman" Briggs. Despite massive critical acclaim the book & BAFTA award winning animated movie of an old Daily Mail reading couple coping in the aftermath of a nuclear war with the Soviet Union was too on the nose for the Great British public. Hence the single peaked at UK #44, and the video was banned.

4th November 1986

It's a 3rd week on top for Pet Shop Boys, with Berlin's classic movie theme breathing down their neck at 2, and Lloyd-Webber's gorgeous Phantom song at 3. Anita Baker finally makes the top 10 with Sweet Love, and Shaky gets a rare top 10. His 4th, but his hit-rate is quite low. Madness chug into the 20, Boo! That's "Boo!" as in ghostly fright, not an exclamation of displeasure. Kim Wilde also goes top 20 with her Supremes cover, climbing slowly, while Duran notoriously climb faster. Highest new entry is Debbie Harry's best post-Blondie solo single, French Kissing In The USA, at 22, for 8 years of non-stop success in my charts, and China Crisis are back with the nice Arizona Sky at 26. That under-performed Uk chart-wise sadly. 

Mel & Kim get a big climb into the 30, and Erasure, Swing Out Sister and Bon Jovi into the 40 ditto, as the fab emotive, hugging Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush are new at 39. Don't Give Up is timeless advice. Future cheesy anthem Europe enters at 61. I was heading a Highways team, surveying Dorset roads back in this day, and a few weeks later I had a heated discussion with my young post-grad music student assistant which annoyed me so much it still burns cos I was so sure I was right in my opinion and he was wrong in his assessment that the chart were rubbish and the music disposable destined to be forgotten. "I bet you" I said, "that Berlin and Europe, at the very least, are remembered decades from now". They had the ring of lasting popularity to me. Nice to be right.

The Cars main man is solo at 62, Madonna gifts a song for the first and last time, to male model Nick Kamen, he of the Levi 501 laundrette strip off advert. In at 70, just ahead of Janet Jackson and a more pedestrian follow-up to a fab single, in Control, another movie song from Kenny Loggins, and a lovely song from Bucks Fizz keeping each other warm, not to mention the cockles of my heart.
