HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 13th NOVEMBER 1988

There’s a brand new number one this week for the Travelling Wilburys, representing the combined force of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. Top on three individual charts, Handle With Care climbs a single place to arrive at the Retro-Chart summit.



INXS make a move for the number one spot as Need You Tonight looms in contention to lead next week’s chart, and a strong follow-up to their hugely successful chart-topper Never Tear Us Apart from earlier this summer.

Tanita Tikaram holds steady at number three with Twist In My Sobriety as last week’s number one by Deacon Blue slips to number four after two weeks atop the chart.

The Bangles make a welcome return to the Top 10 as In Your Room becomes their biggest hit since Walk Like An Egyptian hit number two in 1986.

Highest new entry is from The Proclaimers as Sunshine On Leith enters at number 20.

Biggest climber is from Big Country as Broken Heart (Thirteen Valleys) climbs 17 places to number 23.

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

27th November 1988

It's a 4th consecutive chart-topper for Pet Shop Boys as the sprawling epic dance Left To My Own Devices becomes their 9th number one. Bucks Fizz get one of their biggest hits with future Cher single Heart Of Stone up to 3, and George Michael makes it a 4th top 5 from Faith. Michael Jackson makes it a 5th Bad top 10, and Bomb The Bass return with Say A Little Prayer with Maureen on vocals, as they cover the brilliant Aretha Franklin version of the Dionne Warwick original version of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David song. Highest new entry at 12. Phil Collins shoots into the 20 with Two Hearts. Must be a Timelord.

Belinda Carlisle continues to mine her album, as ballad Love Never Dies enters at 35, Hithouse do a bit of Jacking (Note To Self, be careful not add an extra S to start of group name) at 39, and Dear God, it's Midge Ure at 48 with a great record that flopped as the fickle music scene had shifted away from early 80's synth. U2 have an Angel Of Harlem, rattling and humming, in at 69, Fleetwood Mac have a single out to promote the first Greatest Hits of the famous incarnation of the band, As Long As You Follow one of Christine McVie's most tuneful - and it flopped! Go figure.

Mory Kante grabs another early Afrobeats hit, Tamar, and Slade had one more final hit than I remembered as they bring the 3-year-old Let's Dance cover (the Chris Montez 1962 hit which hit my top 3 in 1972) back in a 1988 remix. Hard to tell the difference actually.
