HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 29th NOVEMBER 1987

It’s a fifth week at the top of the chart for T’Pau as they manage to keep Alexander O’Neal at bay for another week.


 
Criticize remains lodged at number two for a third week, but with both records are now in terminal decline, it’s likely that the top of the chart will see an overhaul next week.

The Proclaimers climb to number three with Letter From America leapfrogging Whitney Houston in the process as So Emotional gets stuck at number four.

There’s a huge climb of 22 places for Michael Jackson as The Way You Make Me Feel smashes its way into the Top Ten at number eight.

Highest new entry is from Shakin’ Stevens as What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For debuts at number 18.

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

I remember at the time Radio 1 DJ Gary Davies playing this Swedish & Norwegian top 5 hit (& European top 40 hit) on his "Bit In The Middle" slot on his weekday lunchtime show by this Swedish duo, but alas it did not become a hit in the UK. Oh well, maybe they should rewrite & re-record the track and try and get it into some Hollywood blockbuster film....

In this week's chart there are 7 entries, with The Smiths and Jellybean both replacing themselves in the chart, Jellybean without a credited vocalist this time, and the new song, whilst not instrumental, has only the title in its lyrics.

We also see Nat King Cole's version of When I Fall In Love replacing Rick Astley's version in the chart. When I get to 1957 I expect to encounter that again. He's had a few hits in my chart in 1956.

Everybody is charting Inxs at different times but it enters my chart now, when it entered the US top 20. It isn't their first hit on this chart as "What You Need" from the "Listen Like Thieves" album has already charted in 1985.

12th December 1987

It's 2 weeks on top for the mighty Fabs, still holding off Pet Shop Boys Always On My Mind. Dusty's duet with Neil & Chris is still in the charts and on the back of that she gets reactivated chart action with classic early 60's hit I Only Want To Be With You in at 5. Long a childhood fave, it had already charted for Bay City Rollers in 1976 and The Tourists in 1979, the latter version making my top 10 and starring...Dave Stewart & Annie Lennox, who just happen to be up to 4 with Shame. I love a Musical Connections anecdote.

Up 30 to 7 Fleetwood Mac make it 3 top 10's out of 4 from Tango In The Night, the flop Family Man doing better here than in the real world, and ditto ESP up to 12 for The Bee Gees, both following-up chart-toppers. The Pogues & Kirsty go top 20 for the first time - and not for the last time! Mel & Kim go top 20 for the first time - and the last time as a duet. I'll be seeing Kim day after tomorrow and I'm hoping she does Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree as Ive never seen her do that one. Cher meanwhile leaps into the 20 for her first solo top 20 in, gasp, 13 years! The gaps won't be that long again until the 21st century.

Jellybean gets a quick 3rd top 40 hit with a spruced-up cover of a 1969 Santana latin track, Springsteen gets another hit at 41 with Tunnel Of Love, SAW do it alone again and are Packjammed With The Party Posse this time, presumably avoiding any roadblocks on the way. Sneaking in with a slightly amusing mickey-take of the Pet Shop Boys It's A Sin, Jonathan King returns for possibly the last chart entry in his 22-year-career (I was mad on Everyone's Gone To The Moon as a kid, and would have charted it high hypothetically) with Cat Stevens Wild World. It's supposed to underline the melodic similarity between the 2 songs, though actually it serves to show they aren't much alike apart from one short melody line. I mean it has ALL the same notes, but not necessarily in the right order....

Finally the Nanas get a 3rd SAW-track in a row in 1987, the lesser I Can't Help It following on two smashes, and taylor Dayne is stuck at 76 as she's still not officially announced as a UK single but is topping my fave non-single playlist (she would otherwise be very high in the chart).
