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

Madonna makes a huge leap of 25 places to claim the number one spot with her new single Like A Prayer. It’s her eighth number one, and her first in almost two years, following her year-long hiatus in 1988. Madonna moves into second in her own right on the 80s Retro-Chart topper leaderboard, pulling ahead of Duran Duran and moving to within three of the Pet Shop Boys.



So, despite showing a small increase in points, Donna Summer is deposed from the Retro-Chart crown as This Time I Know It’s For Real slips to number two.

Last week Kon Kan were the biggest climber as I Beg Your Pardon jumped 20 places. This week they make another sizeable move, crashing into the Top Three on just their third week on the chart.

Paula Abdul dips to number four with Straight Up, while Fuzzbox continue to climb as International Rescue moves up a couple of places to land at number five.

This week’s highest new entry is from Soul II Soul with help from the wonderful Caron Wheeler as Keep On Movin’ debuts at number twelve.

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

The topic had 1988 in the title and the first post. It still has 1988 in the first post.

And personally 1989 was a horrible year for me. I wouldn't want to actually go back to it.

My highest new entry is Californian all female band's global #1 ballad hit taken from their third album Everywhere, which was a major factor in the band breaking up. Written by group member Susanna Hoffs with the established hit songwriting team of Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly they aimed for "Olivia Newton-John being backed by the Mamas & Papas sounding track". As the rest of the band were unhappy with their lack of musical participation on this track, producer David Sigerson pranked Susanna by telling her Olivia Newton-John recorded unclad which Hoffs duly recorded her vocals naked. This falsehood Sigerson eventually admitted to caused major friction between Hoffs & the rest of the band, as she called a band meeting at the end of their 1989 tour to tell them she was going solo, and so the band was no more for a decade.
