Haven Combi Retro-Chart 19th March 1989

HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 19th MARCH 1989

Madonna retains the number one spot for a second week as Like A Prayer becomes her first number one to score over 200 points in a single week.



Kon Kan and Donna Summer trade places at numbers two and three, with both records a long way off the top spot.

Last week’s highest new entry from Soul II Soul with Caron Wheeler gets a nice climb into the Top Five as Keep On Movin’ climbs eight places to number four.

Highest new entry is from T’Pau with Only The Lonely, which debuts at number 18, making up slightly for their last single Road To Our Dream becoming their first to miss the chart entirely.

Biggest climber is from Alyson Williams as Sleep Talk rises twelve places to number 22 in its third week on the chart.

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

Madonna still number one.

Roy Orbison was last at NM #1 in 1964 with "Oh Pretty Woman", a year in which he had the top 2 singles of the year and spent 11 weeks on top in total. He reached #2 in 1969 with "Penny Arcade" and also earlier in the year with "You Got It".

"If You Don't Know Me By Now" originally reached #4 in my chart for Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes in 1972 (with Teddy Pendergrass on lead vocals).

"Your Mama Don't Dance" also first charted in 1972, for Loggins and Messina, reaching #7 at Christmas. The Loggins of the duo is Kenny Loggins.

"Beauty's Only Skin Deep" is also a cover, the Temptations reached #16 with it in 1966 (although others recorded it before them) and was called Beauty Is Only Skin Deep (but is the song Aswad have covered).

26th March 1989

In at number one, not for the first time, a bundle of Monkees tracks on an EP, headed by major classic Daydream Believer. The Monkees were one of my huge childhood obsessions, TV show, records, bubblegum cards, and the rock fraternity welcomed them in (rightly) as credible musicians and songwriters. The British scummy press, however, took offence that they had been CREATED, shock horror, and pounded that theme relentlessly for decades, sniffily ignoring the substantial body of work. By the time of punk, they were being quoted as influences and an EP charted again in 1980 and topped my chart. By 1989 they were touring the UK (I was there) back together, minus Mike, and this EP charted.

Straight in at 9, a dance classic from Coldcut which introduced Lisa Stansfield, still releasing good northern-soul/Philly-inspired records in 2014. New at 23, and really a final fling from The Bangles, but Eternal Flame is a great ballad. Back again at 34, 1988 flop Midnight Oil, Roy leaps to 18, just behind new Order, and at the tail-end of the chart a brace of variable cover versions. Pat & Mick sounds like the punchline to a very non-PC joke from the 70’s, but it was actually 2 DJ’s who should have known better. Slap!
