HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 22nd MAY 1988

Belinda Carlisle just about manages a second week at number one with Circle In The Sand. With just two points separating the Top Two, Aztec Camera were sitting comfortably at number one for most of the week, with all that changing on the very last chart posted, unfortunately for them.



Belinda registers her highest weekly points tally for any of her three recent chart-toppers, picking up 178 points this week, and topping three individual charts.

So, Aztec Camera end up spending a second week at number two with Somewhere In My Heart within touching distance of the top.

Kylie Minogue is back in the Top Five as Got To Be Certain moves up three places to number three, and already outperforming her debut hit, I Should Be So Lucky, which peaked at number five earlier this year.

Voice Of The Beehive achieve a big hit as Don’t Call Me Baby moves up nine places to number four.

Biggest climb this week is a modest ten place leap for the revamped Voyage Voyage as Desireless lands at number 12 to achieve a new peak.

Highest new entry is from Whitney Houston, with a fifth track from the Whitney album, as Love Will Save The Day debuts at number 23.

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

5th June 1988

It's a first week on top for Circle In The Sand, Belinda Carlisle's first chart-topper, holding off a big climb from KLF aka The Timelords "How To get A Number One Record" as the subsequent book claimed. Half of them had been there before in the top 10 with Brilliant. Eurythmics get another top 10, for the 6th year in succession, Sam Brown has a massive climb into the 20 for Stop, Brass Construction outperform the original's chart position by 13 places, Desireless get a nice climb into the 40, and the highest new entry is another duet between Chrissie Hynde & UB40, a cover of Dusty Springfield's Dusty In Memphis track, Breakfast In Bed, which should have been a single in 1969, and the cover version being much better than their version of I Got You Babe.

Julian Clary treats Leader Of The Pack with affectionate humour, under his then stage-pseudonym, and on his way to stand-up top-billing, always good with his quick-wit and innuendo, give or take the odd political fist-up to interrupt his ascendence. Bros owe me nothing, apparently, new in at 59 - though I'd argue they owe me thanks for buying one of their later better singles once the fanclub evaporated. At 65, Chubby Checker is back with the rapping Fat Boys, with a souped-up The Twist, which had always been less popular than Let's Twist Again in the UK. It did chart as the other side of Let's twist Again, though, for me in 1975 on reissue, while a cover version of Let's Twist Again topped my chart thanks to a DJ. A childhood fave song, that one. 

Tiffany's back with another 60's cover - this time The Beatles I Saw Her Standing There, which was never a UK single but which charted in 1981 in the wake of John Lennon's murder as a live version with Elton John, for John Lennon's last public concert while guesting with Elton after losing a bet that Whatever Gets You Thru The Night wouldn't top the US charts. Sabrina brings some Eurocheese action, Matt Bianco pop in as Basia taunts her ex-band a little bit higher, Five Star have another weekend, and Jacko returns with two more mentions for future singles off Bad.
