HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 22nd JANUARY 1989

After four weeks at the top, Buffalo Stance finally makes room for a new number one. In the week that they also climb to the top of the Official Chart, Marc Almond and Gene Pitney also hit number one on the Retro-Chart as Something’s Gotten Hold Of My Heart moves up two places.




Roy Orbison’s posthumous success continues as You Got It moves up three places to number two.


The Fine Young Cannibals rebound up the chart as She Drives Me Crazy goes back up to number three.


It’s been almost four years since Frankie Goes To Hollywood were in our Top Five, so it’s a welcome return for Holly Johnson as Love Train climbs to number four.


Last week’s top two share the honours at number five as Boy Meets Girl and Neneh Cherry tumble down the chart.


Highest new entry sees the return of Samantha Fox as I Only Wanna Be With You debuts at number 13.


Biggest climber is up 12 places for Brother Beyond with Be My Twin.



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

The UK #55 lead single from his 4th album The Works. Despite featuring Level 42's Mark King on bass, it & the corresponding album's lack of success saw him dropped by his record label MCA Records. The FU song he wrote on the day after he heard he was dropped would subsequently become his most well known song as a songwriter....

29th JAN 1989

2nd week at 1 for Roy, Mac at 2, Doctor Robert at 6 (giving him 3 Top 10’s including Blow Monkeys), and highest new entry is yet another dance remix of a 70’s classic – this time Bryan Ferry’s cover of the Everley Brothers from 1976 which hit my Top 10 first-time round. Back in a few months after debuting, Joe Brown’s daughter is back with the song that should have been big in 1988, Stop. Still the best song named Stop (beating Erasure’s attempt lower down and The Spice Girls pop effort in the 90’s), Sam gives a great soulful performance of a great song.

Also back with an early 80’s chart hit (at least in the US and mine) Journey’s plaintiff Who’s Crying Now. Journey of course, made much more of a comeback re-entry splash 20 years later… Other oldies? Sam Fox covers Dusty and makes the Bay City Rollers version look decent and Georgia Satellites cover Swinging Blue Jean’s 60’s childhood fave. Simply Red, Ten City and Then Jerico add a bit of much-needed new life into the chart.
