HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 22nd NOVEMBER 1987

T’Pau hold on for a fourth week at the top of the Retro-Chart to become the longest run at number one since the Pet Shop Boys record-breaking six-week residency over the summer.




China In Your Hand is run quite close this week, dipping slightly in its point tally, with Alexander O’Neal registering significant gains with Criticize, which remains stuck at number two and setting up an interesting battle for next week’s chart crown.

George Harrison completes a static Top Three with Got My Mind Set On You, anchored but a long way adrift of the top two records this week.

Whitney Houston climbs to number four with So Emotional, her fourth Top Five success since she burst onto the scene a couple of years ago.

Potential challengers for next week’s number one could be The Proclaimers, who makes this week’s biggest climb up the chart as Letter From America leaps twelve places to number five.

Highest new entry comes from Johnny Hates Jazz as Turn Back The Clock debuts at number 16

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

I've just realised the single version of 'Rockin around the Christmas tree' (where Mel & Griff are talking at the start and end) is finally on Spotify! I haven't been able to find that version anywhere since I had the single on vinyl in '87!

Lots of cover versions: The Pet Shop Boys covering a song recorded by Elvis Presley in 1972 and also a minor hit in the UK for Willie Nelson more recently in 1982, but those were both ballad versions and this is uptempo.

Rick Astley is covering When I Fall In Love and Nat King Cole's version is at #50 in the chart too this week. The rival version is likely to jeopardise his own sales as his is a "faithful" cover. A lot better than Donny Osmond's though.

Simply Red also in on the act with a cover of a Cole Porter song.

Wet Wet Wet though are not covering Abba or Roxy Music and Madonna is not covering ABC. Those are original songs with unoriginal titles.

5th December 1987

It's straight in on top for yet another 20th anniversary Beatles oldie reissue, my childhood fave Hello Goodbye. Loved it aged 9, loved it aged 29, love it aged 61. It's pure uplifting joy, and featured as a fab video in their generally not-great Magical Mystery Tour TV musical. It had previously topped my chart in a special Beatles-Chart I had to compile in 1976 to stop 20-odd Beatles singles taking over my top 50 charts when they were all reissued in matching sleeves and sold very well. The theme of the week is loads of new entries setting up Christmas, and loads of sudden drastic drops...

Jellybean gets a first top 10, and Expose ditto following my purchase of a remixed version on 12" for the track that had been in my charts since my September USA hols, now peaking at 9. Alison Moyet makes it a 6th solo top 10, or 13th including Yazoo, with the standard, Love Letters. Talking of old standards, the smooth family fave Nat 'King' Cole enters my chart over 20 years since he died with his fab When I Fall In Love at 17, spurred on by Rick Astley's inferior cover (in at 66). Nat's is the definitive version, it just is, no-one has that warm, smooth, cool vocal tone.

The highest new track is Eurythmics 60's-referencing and pure gorgeousness that is Shame. The title sums up its getting lost in the Christmas-ballad overload that was 1987 and failing to make the UK top 40 despite being one of their finest singles. Shame! (ring bell) Shame! (ring bell) Shame! (ring bell)... Anyway in at 11 in a chart that appreciates fabness. The Bee Gees have ESP, presumably they knew it would shoot up into my top 30 having read my mind, while The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl enter at 33 with a perennial christmas classic, one of those you never actually get fed up with hearing each year. Fairytale Of New York would top my my chart - eventually - once it's arguing drunks just oozed nostalgia.

Talking of christmas, Mel & Kim are back. Comedian Mel Smith & the fab Kim Wilde (off to see her again next week doing an acoustic Wilde Winter Songbook tour) that is. I was tempted to go and see her dad Marty in concert tonight, but I'm typing this instead, oops! Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree was already a seasonal regular courtesy of young Brenda Lee, and they'd done a comedy version for charity that didn't get on your nerves when you heard it a few times. Result!

GG is back with part 3 of his debut hit - mostly to promote his annual Christmas/New Year tours which pulled in the punters (including me each year) cos they were such a huge party experience. Contrary to rewritten history, he was actually popular in the 70's and 80's. Dollar return with an Erasure cover, after a couple of years away from my charts, and extending their run to 9 years as a duo, or 12 years if including as a third of a sextet: take your pick. Climie Fisher get a quick follow-up to a great record that flopped, and mysteriously get a hit out of it - cos it wasn't as good! Not bad, but not in the same league. Sneaking in at 76, by virtue of the record not being listed as coming out as a single and therefore not permitted in my chart, instead topping my Playlist 3, but retroactively allowed to feature just because it's brilliant - Taylor Dayne's terrific bop Tell It To My Heart, fitting in with the Expose dance sounds that would influence Pet Shop Boys before long.
