4th August 1987It's straight in at 1 for the second track off the pending Actually album, giving Chris & Neil a 5th chart-topper and the 4th in a row, and also gives Dusty Springfield her comeback track, a first top 10 in err 18 years! Dusty was a mainstay of my youth and would have topped my theoretical charts 2 or 3 times in the 60's. When I did actually do my charts of the 60s Dusty Springfield reached number one twice, with "I Only Want To Be With You" and "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me". And "Son Of A Preacher Man" fell short only peaking at #4. Christmas 1968 was extremely strong but the few weeks following were not and if it had been released a few weeks later it probably would have reached #1 ahead of Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man" which did top my chart in January 1969. Those 2 early tracks would probably have topped my charts too, as a kid I love them, but I adored I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself and that was a chart-topper cert for 6-year-old me I Close My Eyes And Count To ten would also have been in with a shot, but its UK chartrun ended the week after my debut chart in 1968 so it got cut short, oops!

Elsewhere the chart has got stronger than last week, some incredibly strong entries this week and no space for an extremely dull ballad by Whitney Houston which enters both supplying charts this week, i.e. the UK top 40 and US top 20.
That the Smiths are confined to the 4th highest entry is sign of how strong it is.
I quite liked this band even though they are maybe too similar in style to Simple Minds

18th August 1987
It's 3 weeks on top for Dusty, Chris & Neil, holding off the forthcoming Jacko blitz at 2, with Was (Not Was) getting a second top ten and Rick Astley's debut up 40 places to 9 giving SAW 2 top 10's. XTC hit the top 10 then dropped out (it got little airplay to speak of) and it's back at 12, so I assume I heard it somewhere that week and realised it was still fab! Dionne & Jeffery's Bacharach "power" ballad shoots up to 17, the 2nd-biggest climber, Ms. Warwick's biggest in 2 years, and just ahead of faves from Prince & Sheena, and the Pretenders Bond theme inside the 20.
Biggest-climber is The Smiths' Girlfriend In A Coma at 22, as Bowie's 3rd track off the album enters at 23, the best track on the album actually, Never Let Me Down. In a hectic week for top 40 movement The Fat Boys & The Beach Boys are up 20, Black's top 10 Wonderful Life returns in the wake of Sweetest Smile's success, back in at 29, and another future 1988 smash (in slightly remixed form) enters at 33 for Climie Fisher, the fab original version of Love Changes Everything. Sam Fox goes top 40 against my expectations, The Kane Gang get another instant top 40 with What Time Is It - pretty sure I have the album Miracle on vinyl or cassette somewhere unplayed for 30 years, though I recall it was not bad at all.
Jesus & Mary Chain keep the top 40's going, as do Wet Wet Wet with a second sweet little mystery - the mystery being why it got that high. I must have been excited about going to the States in a few weeks and feeling upbeat and benign! In at 44 the ab fab Hey Matthew, with Karel Fialka returning 7 years on from The Eyes Have It, and drafting in his son to great effect. Still charming. John Lydon is also back, 9 years of PIL hits, a decade including The Sex Pistols, U2 have a subdued 3rd cut off The Joshua Tree - it is actually fab but coming after I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For it paled a bit in comparison until the Pet Shop Boys p*ss-take made me realise I did actually rather like it a lot, and the album too. Herb Alpert grabs a third comeback single, John Cougar makes it 5 years since Jack And Diane debuted, Sham '69 return for the last time after a gap of 7 years, 9 years on, and Huey Lewis is another 5-years-on returning act.

25th August 1987
It's a 4th week on top for Chris, Neil & Dusty, holding off a mighty 12" remix challenge of the lead track off the first EP I ever bought, and also the first album I ever bought, both in 1970 - The Archies' Sugar Sugar thus getting a 3rd run at my chart 18 years on. As a kid I loved the songs in the cartoon TV show. I haven't seen Riverdale but I just know it's going to be an improvement on the non-song Archie gang cartoon bits of The Archies Show which these days are excruciating to sit through!
Pretenders get yet another top 10, 9 years since Kid it did first, and outdo the lead Bond theme from a-ha! Prince gets yet another top 10 4 years since 1999 first did it, and Sheena gets her first top 10 since Machinery did it 5 years earlier. Sheena also did a Bond theme that fell short of the top 10. Another 1969 UK top 10 hit returns, it's Elvis and If I Can Dream, at his most OTT doubled with Elvis at his most subtle, the 50's classic Love Me Tender, in at 18 18 years since If I Can Dream hit my top 5. Big climbs for Karel Fialka, John Cougar Mellencamp, and Donny Osmond is back! In at 39, he's in it for love 11 years since C'Mon Marianne, his Frankie Valli cover, troubled my charts, and 15 years since Puppy Love debuted.
LL Cool J goes straight into the 40 as well, I Need Love he says - well a few years in Hawaii 5-0 must help. Debbie Gibson debuts, spearheading a teenybop girlie pop singer craze riding in on Madonna's inspirational coat-tails, at 43 Only In My Dreams. Co-incidentally I saw Madonna in concert for the first time this week, standing at Wembley amongst the noisy and badly-behaved throng. My abiding memory is of tiny Madonna-a-likes on their dad's shoulders getting bombarded with bottles of p*ss by p*ssed hooligans who had their view of the stage blocked. Madonna was fab, but they spoilt the concert for me. Future Madonna gigs I got seats. Top tracks listed below...
Talking of comebacks, Shirl is also back! Last seen in 1973 with Never Never Never, and now back cooled-up diva-style with Yello after years of being hopelessly irrelevant to pop music. La Bassey was a big fave of dad's back in the 60's, and while I loved Goldfinger and Big Spender, and ballads like For All We Know and As Long As He Needs Me, she'd really not featured much in my charts at all, largely being a bit OTT for my tastes. Talking of comebacks, Slade are also back for a final fling 16 years in to a non-stop chart-career, and Cliff drops the best track on his rather decent current album, Some People. Bar one Xmas single (very much not the awful Mistletoe & Millennium) it was all downhill after this. Still, 18 years of chart action ain't bad.
Sinitta is back. Toy Boy. Why is it in my chart?! Eric Clapton under-performed first time-round with his bedroom tribute to his muse (that'll be George Harrison's ex, already immortalised in Layla) Wonderful Tonight, so that's having another go too. The best new track is at 75, though, the fab follow-up to the fab When Smokey Sings off the fab Alphabet City album, The Night You Murdered Love from ABC 6 years on and still cool. Still are cool 32 years later and Martin Fry is in fine voice fettle.
