Haven Combi Retro-Chart W/B 14th June 1987

HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 14th JUNE 1987

Whitney Houston extends her run at the top to four weeks, although I Wanna Dance With Somebody appears to have peaked and could be susceptible to a challenge next week.




U2 remain anchored at number two with I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, looking the likely contender for the top spot next week. They’ll face stiff competition from the Pet Shop Boys, with their new single expected to make a significant impact next week.

ABC climb a place to number three with When Smokey Sings, swapping places with Suzanne Vega who is on her way down to number four.

Star Trekkin’ was the highest new entry last week at number 12. This week it beams its way up into the Top Five.

There’s a cluster of new and re-entries in the lower half of the chart, the highest of which is the second single from The Christians as Hooverville enters at number 26.

George Michael’s latest single I Want Your Sex has made a bit of a disappointing start by his standards, although it’s become this week’s biggest climber, up 12 places to number 13, so could still make further progress.

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

Heart reach #1 with a song that is actually a cover version, the original was recorded by I-Ten. The song was written by Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg who also wrote "Like A Virgin" and "True Colors". In addition Billy Steinberg co-wrote a couple of songs with Graham Russell on Air Supply's 1985 album.

This is the week I graduated from university and I actually went on holiday for a couple of weeks. Whilst out there I saw David Bowie perform live on the Glass Spider tour in Barcelona. He probably played Time Will Crawl too. I can't remember, not one of his most memorable songs. We won't see him on this retro chart for a while now, but he will make an appearance in 1969 a bit later on.

23rd June 1987

It's U2 back up on top for a second week at 1, as Pet Shop Boys go up to 2 with It's A Sin, Curiosity get a first top 10 with Misfit at 6, Herb Alpert gets his 4th top 10 19 years after his first, Janet Jackson gets a 3rd with a 4th a whisker away, and XTC get a second 8 years on from their debut hit Making Plans For Nigel, the flop Dear God.

Bowie has a big climb into the 20 with Time Will Crawl by virtue of this being the week I saw his Glass Spider Tour at Wembley where he heavily plugged the new album, along with loads of dancers, climbing up ropes, swinging from bars, hoisting left right and centre in front of a massive actual glass spider all lit up. Sadly I was sat right at the back of the stadium, there was a delay in the sound, and I felt totally removed from the experience. I came to the conclusion, reinforced the next time I saw him, that Bowie was most definitely not a Stadium act - Stadium acts need to get throbbing excitement going on, U2 being a prime example, they command totally, as does Madonna. Being cerebral doesn't work at that scale. My top rated track of the night? Not anywhere near my fave Bowie track, but Modern Love worked best. Thumping Chic rhythms, says it all. Day In Day Out? Not so much.

Cliff is back with a decent new album, and a catchy first single in My Pretty One at 31, Errol Brown debuts with his solo single now that Hot Chocolate's record of 14 consecutive years of hit singles is history, yet still not as big as their oldie remixes, sadly, as I loved Errol in his heyday. King Sun D Moet gets a second entry, lower down, Echo & The Bunnymen keep the run going, Atlantic Starr return as Always, a-ha do the Bond theme well and sneak in, shaken not stirred, and The Whispers are back 7 years after And The Beat Goes On debuted, and 6 years since they last charted.
