HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 16th OCTOBER 1988

There were only ever two records in contention for the top spot this week. In a race that went down to the wire, Erasure emerge victorious once again. With just a two point gap at the top, A Little Respect manages a second week at number one.



Kim Wilde’s attempt at a second chart-topper are thwarted again as she remains stuck at number two with Never Trust A Stranger.

Deacon Blue, who topped the chart briefly at the start of the year with Dignity, are also hoping for a second number one as Real Gone Kid flies up to number three. With seventy points separating them from the current leaders, they have a lot of ground to make up next week.

Whitney Houston rebounds back up to number four with One Moment In Time, just ahead of the Wee Papa Girl Rappers who move into the Top Five with Wee Rule.

This week’s biggest climb is from Enya as Orinoco Flow jumps 19 places to number 8.

Kylie Minogue is back with an instant Top Ten hit as Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi enters at number nine, becoming Kylie’s highest debut to date and third Top Ten hit this year.

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

The top end of my chart is strong, but this week's new entries were pretty much all a load of pants. Should have pulled stuff from 41-75, some far better stuff peaking there. Have done that before during 1988. A few in the 76-100 region too.

Good to see more people charting the Information Society song now.
