HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 22nd FEBRUARY 1987

After four weeks at the top of the Retro-Chart it’s all change with a brand new number one for Mental As Anything. Featuring on the Crocodile Dundee soundtrack helps lift Live It Up from number three all the way to the top of the chart.




So, George and Aretha are down to number two, closely followed by Level 42 as Running In The Family climbs to number three, almost matching their highest peak of Lessons In Love, which reached number two last year.

Which leaves The Christians stuck at number four with Forgotten Town and the Blow Monkeys challenge for the top is over as It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way sinks to number five.

Highest new entry is from Retro-Chart favourites A-Ha, back with their seventh Top 20 hit as Manhattan Skyline debuts at number 12.

Biggest climb this week is from Duran Duran as Skin Trade moves up a modest 10 places to number 7. Notorious was their first single not to make it into the Top 10, peaking at number 13 last year. Skin Trade sees a reversal of fortune for Duran Duran, becoming their tenth Top Ten single, although it has a long way to go if it’s got any chance of becoming their eight number one here.

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

3rd March 1987

It's straight in on top for a remix of Children Of The Revolution as 1972 and 60's nostalgia takes a firm hold on me in the absence of any new mighty classics. I missed Marc Bolan terribly by this time, and the record had under-performed first-time round, so now they get a 6th chart-topper keeping off Jackie Wilson's 1972 big hit reissue of I Get The Sweetest Feeling as I got nostalgic for the music of my teens and childhood. Throw in The Beatles epic anniversary reissue of a previous chart-topper and that's 80% of my top 5 oldies. I'll be honest if Mental as Anything and The Jets were at 2 and 3 I would have been over-rating them, though Christians & a-ha have lost out as 4 and 5 would still have been too low..

Big Audio Dynamite rocket in at 27 as V13 is the highest new song, Cyndi covers Marvin Gaye quite nicely and is in at 35, and The Cult get a 3rd top 40. The Beastie Boys get a big climb into the 40, and the Rainmakers debut at 53 with a great song title (and song). Freddie Mercury goes solo again, as he put his heart on his sleeve with his choice of Platters cover - he really was telling the whole world what he had, but no-one realised. Erasure return quickly, and it's a hugely welcome return from the fab Labi Siffre, absent since 1972, although Madness had made a big hit of his gorgeous It Must Be Love in 1981, 10 years on. This time it's a South African political commentary, and powerful with it.
