Haven Combi Retro-Chart W/B 12th February 1989

HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 12th FEBRUARY 1989

It’s a new number one this week as the debut single from Scottish rock band Texas climbs to the top of the Retro-Chart. With only 119 points, I Don’t Want A Lover is the lowest scoring number one since Crazy For You managed a single week at the top in 1985.




Sharing the honours at number two are the polar opposite acts of Debbie Gibson and Morrissey. Morrissey equals his previous best with Every Day Is Like Sunday, while Debbie Gibson is looking for a second chart-topper to follow up the success of Foolish Beat last year.

Simple Minds are back with this week’s highest new entry as Belfast Child crashes in at number four, and last week’s number one, You Got It by Roy Orbison, slides to number five.

Biggest climber is from Edie Brickell and The New Bohemians as What I Am jumps 19 places to number 19.

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

19th FEB 1989

In from nowhere at the top…an oldie! It recharged in the UK singles chart under the extended billing Diana Ross & The Supremes, but really it’s a Supremes classic from 1966, American chart-topper Stop! In The Name Of Love, making that 2 Stop’s in a row at Number One! It’s a brilliant Motown oldie, pure class, pure heartbreak, and The Supremes 4th Number One. Diana sang on 3 of those, and had another 3 solo, 6 in total.

Keeping up the veteran theme, Dusty at 2, another Fleetwood Mac re-issue for Albatross (3rd-time round (1969, 1973) for 4 in the chart, David Essex remixed Rockin’ On, and Paul Carrack getting a solo hit after numerous hits with bands starting with Ace in 1974. Back in newcomer land, REM are in, Jesus Jones re-enter with the fab Info Freako, S’Express get a 3rd hit, and Simple Minds change style again for an EP with more than one great track on it. Value For Money, modern pop stars take note… Outside my charts I was bopping to Pet Shop Boys Paninaro and It’s Alright, from the remix album Disco, both future singles, and getting all retro with Sandie Shaw’s Girl Don’t Come.
