3rd January 1988

It's a 3rd week on top for Pet Shop Boys on my 30th birthday, a quiet chart, and the annual Gary Glitter rousing Xmas/New Years concert with support from Westworld popping up in my weekly playlist mentions. The Bee Gees make it 2 top 10's in a row, and make it another year they can tick off a top 10 hit: so that'll be 1968-1972, 1975-1981, 1987-1988, though if you include top 20's, solo records, and acts they wrote and produced for they only missed out on 1973 and 1985, I think.

Bananarama make it 3 top 40 in a row off the new album, highest new entry is a charity track at 50, Lloyd Cole follows up My Bag, and INXS get a second Kick track in the chart....and that's it. Not much happening!

Strangeways Here We Come was Morrissey's favourite Smiths album. Well it has on it "A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours" which for me is memorable for the couplet "There's too much caffeine in your blood stream, and a lack of real spice in your life". Then the jangly "I Started Something.." but there are two extremely well-produced haunty tracks. "The Death Of A Disco Dancer" and then there's "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me". And being a very lonely person at the time I do remember having such a dream, and then waking up and it was "just another false alarm". Strangeways is a great album.

George Michael gets the highest entry this week, and I actually bought Faith (the album) around this time.
