HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 11th OCTOBER 1987    

Another week and another new number one. This time, in a tight two horse race at the top, it’s the Bee Gees who emerge as chart champions as You Win Again takes over at number one.



Fleetwood Mac’s reign at the top is cut short as Little Lies dips to number two, swapping places with the Bee Gees on their way to number one.

Rock act Kiss soar to number three after their explosive debut in the Top Ten last week.

Sisters Of Mercy continue to climb as This Corrosion moves up to number four and Erasure earn themselves another Top Five hit with The Circus.

Highest new entry is from The Cure as Just Like Heaven debuts at number 13 and this week’s biggest climb is from Was(Not Was) as Walk The Dinosaur zooms 23 places to number 11.

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

INXS - Need You Tonight

[Earl Purple]

I think the Pet Shop Boys will struggle to get to #1 this time competing with other giants that also enter the top 75 this week. Depends how many chart Inxs now and how many wait until that song is a bigger hit elsewhere.

Bill Medley was one of the Righteous Brothers. Jennifer Warnes has done some solo stuff but is best known for duetting with Joe Cocker on "Up Where We Belong" and now with another male singer from the 60s in another song from a film soundtrack.




For George Michael this is his first #1 on my chart since "Careless Whisper" topped the chart in 1984 and Wham! topped my chart before that with Wake Me Up Before You Go Go. This has flown up to #1 but its run will be quite short due to a total monster that will enter next week. There will be just 2 more NM #1s during 1987.

25th October 1987

It's back on top after a few weeks off for Fleetwood Mac, giving Little Lies a second week on top, keeping the top 4 shuffling about amongst themselves for the 4th week, and only Pet Shop Boys' Rent able to break into the top 5 to try and break-up the chart monopoly of the Big 4. Billy Idol gets a 5th or 6th top 10, as the Amazulu version of Mony Mony makes it 3 top 40 versions in total, including the Tommy James original on re-issue in 1975. Shaky gets a rare top 10 with his good Supremes cover, only his 4th in 7 years of trying, and there are big climbs for George Michael, Bananarama, both into the 20, UB40, Donna Summer, Aerosmith 3 years early for the UK top 40 charts, INXS 1 year early for the UK top 40 charts, George Harrison & Gloria Estefan all adding to their top 40 totals.

T'Pau get the highest new entry with China In Your Hands at 43, and it's still not overtaken the brilliant Heart And Soul which should have been the one to top the charts for weeks in my opinion. Meanwhile at 46 The Communards cover the brilliant Gloria Gaynor chart-topping 1974 disco cover of the brilliant Jackson 5 1971 ballad which hit 2 - and falls far short, it being nothing more than a pedestrian shrill karaoke effort. Whitesnake revamp their 80's Here I Go Again and are rewarded with a hit, being as it's their best record by far, Living In A Box make it 4 listings, Labi Siffre makes it a second hit of the year as he marks the 16th anniversary of me first hearing It Must Be Love, Shakatak add to their chart list, just, and Barry White stages a comeback minus the lush disco sounds. Sho You Right, Bazza, 14 years on from his top 10 debut, or 15 years if you count Love Unlimited and his guest vocals on his own song and own production of the group that featured his own wife. That leaves oldies The Champs to make a chart debut, La Bamba film-related I'll wager, some 29 years late, with Tequila. I'll drink to that! It seemed very long ago at the time - but it's less old than 1987 is in 2019. Oops! Time flies!
