Haven Combi Retro-Chart W/B 9th October 1988

[Kingpin]

HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 9th OCTOBER 1988

It’s a brand new number one this week and a first for Erasure as A Little Respect climbs to the top of the chart. It’s their seventh Top Ten hit and provides them with a long overdue turn at the top.



Vince and Andy were given a run for their money as Kim Wilde looms within touching distance as Never Trust A Stranger moves up to number two.

Last week’s number one, Domino Dancing by the Pet Shop Boys, tumbles to number three after a three week stint at the top.

U2 break into the Top Five as Desire climbs to number four as Whitney Houston slips to number five with One Moment In Time.

Deacon Blue are back in style as Real Gone Kid becomes their highest debuting song to date, entering the chart at number eight.

Human League are this week’s biggest climber as Love Is All That Matters jumps a relatively modest 11 places to number 28.

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

23rd October 1988

It's 4 weeks on top as Human League hold off Information Society from the top slot, Kim Wilde gets a second top 5 off Close and Milli Vanilli get a top 10 along with Enya's gem Orinoco Flo. Presumably Orinoco Flo was a womble of some sorts. The Four Seasons meanwhile take December '63 into the top 5 for a second time. Highest new entry is a spruced-up version of INXS's brilliant Need You Tonight, which had underperformed first time round in the UK, but which properly Kick's off album sales along with a big UK hit 2nd-time round. In at 13, peaking higher than the 17 it hit in 1987 in my charts.

Kylie gets a 2nd top 20 of the year, Robert Palmer says she makes his day entering in at 28, his first top 40 since I Didn't Mean To Turn You On in 1986 and a decade on from his chart debut. Kiss and 1-2-3 shoot up into the 40, as Prince rushes in at 38 with I Wish U Heaven, one of his best tracks, albeit not one of his most-remembered, love the video and the melody. Heart have Nothing Art All entering at 39, contradicting reality as it's about the 6th or 7th top 40 in a row.

Tanita Tikarim gets a second hit as the fably dark Twist In My Sobriety is in at 51. I still regret that it wasn't covered in the style of The Beatles Twist & Shout or Salt 'N' Pepa's version of the same. It would have made me laugh, even if no-one else would have. Jane Weidlin follows-up with Inside A Dream, Julian Cope returns with new track Charlotte Ann at 62 7 years since his teardop first exploded, Pat Benatar also returns as she instructs Don;t Walk Away, Womack & Womack's Teardrops have left them pondering Life Is Just A Ball-Game at 73: presumably they mean long periods of inactivity punctuated by occasional spurts of interest. The perfect metaphor for 2020, I say! Deacon Blue pop in with their best record, Real Gone Kid, and T'Pau start to lose steam a bit with a secret garden, looking a bit overgrown these days.
