HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 15th NOVEMBER 1987

T’Pau get another uncontested week at number one as China In Your Hand manages to extend its margin at the top of the chart. Showing little signs of slowing down, it now tops six individual charts.



Alexander O’Neal climbs to number two but Criticize has a lot of ground to make up if it’s to provide a serious challenge to T’Pau next week, but still provides a new peak for the soul singer.

George Harrison registers the same points tally as last week but being overtaken by Alexander O’Neal pushes Got My Mind Set On You down to number three.

The Communards are back in the Top Five for the first time since their number one single Don’t Leave Me This Way. It’s another cover version which brings them chart success, this time it’s Never Can Say Goodbye.

Completing the Top Five are Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes, with a bit of help from the smash Dirty Dancing film, as The Time Of My Life climbs five places.
 
Highest new entry comes from The Housemartins with Build, straight in at number 13.

Biggest climb is from R.E.M AS The One I Love moves up 14 places to number 17.

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

Christmas looms. A certain song creeps into the UK top 40 on the show broadcast on Sunday 29th November 1987, which forms the basis of my chart of 28th November 1987, as the Sunday broadcast has long been used for the chart dated the day before, thus the skipped chart at the start of October. You'll have to have tuned in on time, it entered at #40 itself.

Covers entering the chart but now I can say I charted them in earlier versions. "What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For" dates back to the 1920s I think, it was old even when Emile Ford was in the chart with it, but when I started my 1960s retro chart he was part of it. The first few charts may be shuffled and I'm also questioning what I'll do with hits in my chart that were US hits in 1959 as I'll want to chart them then and remove them later, but I guess I'll have to sort the overlap.

Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree was Christmas #1 for me in 1960 for Brenda Lee when it first came out. In the UK it was a hit in 1962, the same year Ketty Lester had "Love Letters" in the chart although that was earlier in the year.

The "Mel & Kim" version of Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree is being done for Comic Relief. As Kim Wilde's real surname is Smith I guess they could have called themselves "The Smiths". Griff Rhys Jones also has a spoken part on the song, in a dialogue with Mel Smith.

29th November 1987

It's Michael Jackson's 2nd topper from Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel is a great single, all rhythm and yelps, and his 7th solo number one, or his 10th including The Jackson 5/Jacksons, or his 11th if you also count his uncredited everything on Rockwell's Somebody's Watching You. Billy Idol meanwhile leaps back up to a new peak of 5 with Mony Mony due to my buying the Hung Like A Pony 12". So to speak. Pet Shop Boys get out-performed because it still wasn't available to buy, at 6 keeping their top 10 run intact at 100%, T'Pau get a 2nd top 10, and The Proclaimers a first.

Macca joins ol mucker George in the 20, Alison Moyet takes some Love Letters by airmail to 27, close to catching a Satellite, and Cher gets her first top 40 action in 5 years - since her annoyingly uncredited duet with Meatloaf went top 10 in 1982. Highest new entry is another Tango In The Night track, Family Man entering at 37 as Little Lies drops from the top for the final time for Fleetwood Mac. Close behind are REM, The One I Love giving them an instant top 40, and Johnny hates jazz makes it 3 top 40 from 3.

The Tams enter with an obscure 60's soul track, a hit mostly because it was banned by the BBC for mentioning the word "Shag" even though The Shag was a 60's dance, the record was innocent, and it's no different from saying "making love", albeit less romantic, even if it did mean having a shag. Which it didn't. The Tams had almost topped my charts in 1971 with the brilliant 60's oldie Hey Girl Don't Bother Me topping the UK charts as Northern Soul was big. They pretty much averaged one hit a decade to date. I bought this one because I used to get annoyed being told what was offensive by the BBC (when it wasn't).

Belinda Carlisle is back, 5 years on from her Gogo's days, with her breakthrough smash Heaven Is A Place On Earth, giving her a great solo career for the next 5 years or so, and Shaky covers an obvious early 60's cover, so obvious it was hard to believe he had left it 6 years before getting round to it. The Christians have an Ideal World for Christmas enter while their fingers were still pointing down from above, Madonna drops her Look Of Love single that I always forget about when chucking off lists of her songs, Wet Wet Wet go all ballady on the reasonably nice Angel Eyes, a harbinger of horrors to come. And though still at 2, The Bee Gees sneak in with the latest album title track at 75.
