Haven Combi Retro-Chart W/B 24th April 1988

HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 24th APRIL 1988

This week we showed we’d rather jack than Fleetwood Mac as the Theme From S-Express sends Everywhere and Heart tumbling from the top spot.



UK dance act S-Express, fronted by DJ Mark Moore, ascend to the top of the Retro-Chart in the same week that they climb to number one on the Official Chart. It’s another big-scoring week as S-Express narrowly miss out on achieving 200 weekly points.

The Adventures bounce back up the chart to achieve a new peak at number two with Broken Land despite registering a slight dip in points.

S-Express and The Adventures have both topped three individual charts this week which has helped propel both songs in reporting high scores.

The fall-out from the overhaul at the top sees Fleetwood Mac drop to number three with Everywhere, managing just a shared week at number one.  The Pet Shop Boys slip further as Heart falls to number four after its four week stay at the top.

Completing the top five are Danny Wilson as Mary’s Prayer moves up a place.

Highest new entry is from Prefab Sprout as The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll enters at number 14

Biggest climb comes from Aztec Camera as Somewhere In My Heart moves up 11 places to number 12.

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

There could well be a "battle" between this and the Wets. I guess most people will chart them separately and may chart only one (or neither). I'm only charting this one.

8th May 1988

It's George Michael finally getting a chart-topper from Faith with One More Try ( laugh.gif ), his 3rd solo chart-topper, 4th including Aretha Franklin duets, and 6th including Wham!, 7th including Band Aid. Take your pick. Poor ol' Ofra gets leap-frogged at 2, but Prince is driving Alphabet Street right into the top 10, and Narada is having some divine emotions doing the same. Rocketing up even higher it's Gloria Estefan - not her first top 20, but I Can't Stay Away From You has a sweet 48-place climb.

The Clash are back with another oldie, London Calling at 29 equalling it's peak in 1979, Heart get a 5th top 40 with a big climb, and the big Eurovision song from 1988 enters at 35 for Hothouse Flowers - not that Don't Go had been entered, they were the interval act. Cry Before Dawn also enter the top 40 with a song I've completely forgotten - truly, gone if not forever-then-for-32-years. Scritti Politti get a pleasing bound to 39 from 75 with Patti, Hall & Oates return for 12 years of chart activity, and just for charity-mates, Wet Wet Wet mangle a Sgt Pepper Beatles song that had already charted for Joe Cocker 20 years earlier, and Billy Bragg murders the gorgeous She's Leaving Home, which should have been released as a single in 1976 for The Beatles around the time that Bryan Ferry did a great cover on one of his B sides in 1977. Still, both songs died for a good cause.

If you'd asked me if Magnum had ever made my charts I would have said "not likely!", but there you are, Start talking Love enters at 68, even ahead of Kim Wilde's latest album cut from Close to make single. In what must have been a desperately bad week for new music Harry Enfield annoys at 73, Dirty Dancing tedium enters at 72 for Patrick Swayze, Luther Vandross meanders in at 74, and Eddy Grant remains forgettable at 75 - his glory days started in 1968 with The Equals, and solo in 1979 through to Jo'Anna, but I don't recall this one, so I guess it does what it says on the tin. So, of the new entries, one is old, 2 I dont recall, 4 are various scales of OK, and 4 I wouldnt mind never hearing again. Quality down-turn!
