HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 10th MAY 1987

Johnny Hates Jazz manage to cling on to the top for a second week with Shattered Dreams as Starship narrowly miss out on Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now returning to number one.



With an even tighter margin at the top this week, just three points separate the top two songs as Starship bounce back up to number two as they swap places with Fleetwood Mac, who dip to number three with Big Love.


Labi Siffre climbs back into the Top Five after a two week absence as (Something Inside) So Strong achieves a new peak at number four.


John Farnham continues his steady ascent of the Retro-Chart as You’re The Voice moves up five places to number five.


It’s a quiet week for new entries, with Zodiac Mindwarp and The Love Reaction leading the way with Prime Mover in at number 18.

Biggest climb is from Crowded House with Don’t Dream It’s Over up 13 places to number 10.


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

19th May 1987

It's 2 weeks on top for Living In A Box presiding over a quiet top 10, just Fleetwood Mac and Tom Jones adding to their tallies both running at 19 years to date. Robbie Nevil & The Housemartins both leap into the 20, and Jody Watley, Westworld, Cameo, Spear Of Destiny & Debbie Harry all go up into the 40 while new Act are snobbish about being highest at 31 - essentially Claudia Brucken from Propaganda and Thomas Leer, still on the ZTT label - and The Fall cover R.Dean Taylor's classic 1967 single which was a big Northern Soul hit in 1974 in the UK in at 35.

Lots of new acts lower down debuting, plus Springsteen charting with an inferior live cover of his epic Spectoresque 1975 top 20 single and future chart-topper, Born To Run. It's criminal that this charted in the UK and the original never has gotten higher than 76. Some people prefer this version, of course, but not me, the majesty and excitement of the original was the single track that propelled Bruce into stardom. Little Steven (Van Zandt) also enters, at 70, sometime member of Bruce's E-Street Band when not making political solo music statements.

Age Of Chance, Georgia Satellites, Suzanne Vega and Whitney Houston all return with follow-ups at the tail-end of my chart - but which will go on to become bigger chart hits? Well, Whitney will, even though I'm fed up to the teeth of hearing it these days over the years. Everytime it comes on the radio or TV I want to change channels.
