3rd April 1988
It's 3 weeks on top for Pet Shop Boys' Heart - keeping their own I'm Not Scared off the top, peaking now at 2 for Eighth Wonder, with new top 10 climbs for a-ha, Debbie Gibson and Brenda Russell. Top 40 climbs for Wet Wet Wet (their biggest since Wishing I was Lucky), Pebbles, Jellybean's 4th, The Adventures, and two new entries, Paul Hardcastle returning with a cover of Junior Walker's fabulous Walk In The Night at 38, and Eurythmics following-up the sublime Shame with the more-perfunctory I Need A Man at 40 ( a much bigger hit for them in the UK charts - go figure!).
Neal Hefti brings the 22-year-old TV theme into the charts for the first time (though it would have charted in 1967 for me had I been charting as a kiddie), probably during one of the regular TV-repeat-runs of the show, in at 49. Jermaine Stewart is beside himself as he gets lucky at 54, and Wally Jump Jnr follows-up at 59. Danny Wilson return with the yet-to-hit Mary's Prayer, which had charted for me in 1987, Cher insists We All Sleep Alone at 66 - I'll let you know in 4 years if that's true - and Smokey Robinson extends his chart run to a sweet 19 years, Cher to 17 years. Robert Palmer pops in briefly with Sweet Lies, and Hazell Dean is back 4 years after a couple of biggie SAW hits - with another SAW hit. I saw her in a gay bar performance back in the early 00's, back when local bars & clubs were an actual thing before topping-up booze at home, internet phones, Grindr and other factors combined to kill them off.
