Haven Combi Retro-Chart W/B 5th February 1989

HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 5th FEBRUARY 1989

After a fortnight stuck at number two Roy Orbison manages to overhaul Marc Almond and Gene Pitney as You Got It takes over at the top of the chart.




It’s not represented on four individual charts and with the lowest points total since INXS started their three week at the top with Never Tear Us Apart in June, its time at the top may be brief, as it records its second week in decline.

Last weeks’ number one, Something’s Gotten Hold Of My Heart, dips to number two, with Holly Johnson’s Love Train remaining static at number three.

Mike and The Mechanics continue to climb with The Living Years, as it moves up to number four, while Then Jerico have a big hit on their hands as Big Area storms up to number five.

Highest new entry is from Morrissey as Last OF The Famous International Playboys debuts at number 6, his third consecutive single to do so within the Top Ten.

Biggest climber is from R.E.M. with Stand, up fifteen places to number eight.

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

Not one of this week's entries but last week's highest entry which climbs up to number 8 this week.
They had 2 number ones in my chart in 1985 and Alive And Kicking is a lot better than this song, but
this song is perhaps unfairly put down too much.

12th FEB 1989

2nd week at 1 for Sam Brown, but the Top 40 is invaded with new entries to challenge, highest at 4 the 7-year-old reissued Hold Me from Fleetwood Mac, which had flopped first time round, and the fab Pet Shop Boys “Scandal” movie track for Dusty, Nothing Has Been Proved. So gorgeous it’s straight in at 10. Robert “Blow Monkeys” Howard equals “Digging Your Scene” at 2, Jacko enters with the “Bad” bonus track that wasn’t on the vinyl album version I’d bought 2 years previously, but was on the CD. I have still refused to ever buy the track as it p*ssed me off, ripping off fans who had already bought the album. Yes, it was an early example of “Deluxe Edition” money-grabbing.

The Four Tops also get re-pushed, and second-time hit for me, Kim’s high at 20, and Bananarama do Comic Relief with French & Saunders & Kathy Burke , cover the Beatles, and it works a s pop record (without the comedy) or with (double A side, effectively). Stock Aitken Waterman also produce Donna Summer’s classic comeback single at 38. Elsewhere, bit of metal from Def Leppard (good) and Poison (dreary), a bit of early 80’s acts hanging in there, with new singles, and not listed 3 records I was playing a lot that week (Shooting Star (Dollar), Tightrope (ELO) and Brother Louie (Hot Choc)).
