Haven Combi Retro-Chart W/B 6th September 1987

[Kingpin]

HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 6th SEPTEMBER 1987

A completely static Top Three this week although the Pet Shop Boys latest single isn’t displaying the same level of staying power as their previous record-breaking chart-topper. What Have I Done To Deserve remains at number one for a third week but with a considerably depleted number of points.




Black remains at number two for a second week with Wonderful Life, and recording further growth in points, almost catching up with the Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield.

Rick Astley remains at number three, unable to replicate the stranglehold he’s exerting at the top of the Official Chart.

Cliff Richard has got another Top Ten hit this year as Some People jumps to number four, bettering the number six peak of My Pretty One.

Highest new entry is from U2 as Where The Streets Have No Name enters at number five. The previous two singles from The Joshua Tree both peaked at number two, could this latest release go one better and become U2’s first Retro-Chart topper?

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

[popchartfreak]

15th September 1987

It's a second week on top for the Archies, presiding over my second flight to California - this time with my parents who had never been, but always wanted to go. I just managed to catch the new chart rundown before leaving, so there are some UK new entries - but there's an invasion of stuff I heard on radio stations on the car stereo, as well as the new Michael Jackson album which I copied onto cassette to play in the car - I didn't allow album tracks in my charts back then...but the bottom three all would have featured much higher had I not been limited to just listing them for my "playlist" list. So I've retospectively given them a slot.

Little Lies climbs fast into the top 3, a big radio hit in the States, and Climie Fisher just sneaks into the top 10, as do The Bee Gees. US radio was amazing back then: stations galore, all with differing records on rotation, DJ's who seemed professional. I just couldnt understand why the UK had so few radio stations, and still can't (outside London). It's almost as if the authorities have a problem with commercial radio...

M/A/R/R/S shoot into the 20, and the highest new entry is Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam at 18, big on LA radio with Lost In Emotion. I found the exact same beach-apartment block I stayed in in 1979 with other Uni friends, which was fab - overlooking the Queen Mary. I was in US TV and radio heaven, what with all the classic 60's shows on re-run that I hadn't seen since a kid, stuff like Get Smart, Gilligan's Island and many more. Huey Lewis also benefits from the radio plays, shooting up to 20, Madonna to 22, and Billy Idol enters at 27 with his fab version of Tommy James & The Shondells brilliant 1968 chart-topper Mony Mony: note this is NOT the weaker live version that was pushed in the UK, this was an all-80's-production.

The US is some way behind on UK-sourced hits, usually, which means for me a chance to rechart them as they get a new lease of life cruising the highways and byways and sound bigger and fresh again: ABC return with When Smokey Sings at 29, Living In A Box get some 12" action, as do Pepsi & Shirlie's Heartache, both debuting in that format, while Swing Out Sister's Breakout 1986 hit also returns. A hot new track that stiffed in the UK is in at 31 for The Other Ones - Holiday. So appropriate I bought the single, along with Fleetwood Mac's Little Lies, in the USA on vinyl.

U2 finally go top 40 where the streets have exotic names, Gary Numan revamps his old car, given a jump start by rising natalie Cole, as the sweet Level 42 It's Over sneaks in as I leave the UK. Starship follow-up the monster hit, and I go to Disneyland, have a ball on rollercoaster Space Mountain and see the 3D state-of-the-art Sci-fi mini-extravaganza Captain Eo aka Michael Jackson's wannabe space hero. Great to look at and featuring a half-familiar-sounding song from his album, and one which hasn't turned up anywhere yet. When he was acting Jacko was embarrassing, when he was singing, fab. I doubt it will be showing anytime this century again, sorry if you missed it!
