20th January 1987
It's a first week on top for the highest entry, a remix of Hot Chocolate's 12-year-old goodie which failed to top my charts first-time round, despite being a huge Hot Choc fan, and becomes a belated 5th number one for them. Lots of yet more 70's new entries from The Doobie Brothers 1979 top tenner, cashing in on Michael McDonald's recent big hits, in at 9, Freeez' remixed 1983 top 10 enters lower down, the late Phil Lynott's 1980 track is back, Barbara Jones reggae cover of Olivia Newton-John's 1975 top 30 track sneaks in, Age Of Chance sort-of cover Prince ahead of Art Of Noise, and the chart goes ballistic as 1987 arrives with a bang and 18 new entries, and big climbs into the top 10 for Robbie Nevil, Little Richard and an instant new entry for Aretha & George on a fab duet, Aretha's best track since her glorious Atlantic days, and George's best track since his previous record.
Dead Or Alive rocket into the 20, Carly Simon into the 30, and new entries galore between 42 and 75, the most notable being the fab debut of Curioisty Killed The Cat bringing jazzpop into teen idol branding, The Style Council returning, the bouncy pop of The Jets, Rosie Vela's delicious sultry Magic Smile, The Blow Monkeys brilliant It Doesn't Have To be This Way (note sax very much the thing in 1987), and another Jack-track for Raze, who would return in a year with the fab Break 4 Love. Stevie Wonder makes it 19 years of charting in my charts, and Kool & The Gang a mere 8 years.
