HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 16th APRIL 1989

It’s the end of Madonna’s five week reign at the top of the Retro-Chart as The Bangles finally make it to number one after a long eleven week journey on the chart.  Eternal Flame becomes the second number one single for The Bangles, just over three years since Manic Monday topped the chart for three weeks in 1986. Already in decline though, Eternal Flame may struggle to match the longevity of its predecessor.



Transvision Vamp led the way at the top for part of the week, but could only manage to finish up in the runner-up position. If Baby I Don’t Care goes no further, it will become their second number two record, matching the peak of I Want Your Love last summer.

This week’s biggest climb is a leap of 20 places for the Fine Young Cannibals as Good Things jumps into the bottom rung of the Top Ten.

Highest new entry comes from The Cure as Lullaby debuts at number 14.

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

Not going that well for Debbie Gibson at the moment in people's charts, I was Electric Youth would be a huge retro chart smash. It entered my chart last week at #8, but it won't have a long run at #1 as there's a big one coming up 2 weeks after it.

Bon Jovi's already peaked in my chart, Morrissey entered this week but lower.

Debbie Gibson isn't in Haven Factor but would she beat Bon Jovi in a sing-off if they played these songs?

It's just out in the UK, give her a chance and no.

My highest entry this week comes from the Tabu signed, Detroit based R&B recording artist with the Jam & Lewis written & produced title track to her third studio album which stalled at UK #67 probably as its sound was a precursor to Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation album.

Back in 1989 we had black musicians making rock music. Terence Trent D'Arby to some extent, Lenny Kravitz (maybe not quite yet but close to this time), Roachford and this band, who despite being American spell the second word of their name the British way.

30th April 1989

An unexpected number one for the Bee Gees latest (flop) single, the lead track off the (flop) album One. It was a sort of tribute to late younger brother Andy, and the theme of loss hit a note with my mood at the time, but it’s a good song anyway. At that time, it was the Bee Gees 4th topper, though they had had many runners-up.

Dance (House) music starting to make inroads into the generally lacklustre pop music scene, ahead of the 90’s surge of piano-tinkly-fused jangly dance tracks. Here, Beatmasters, Inner City and others leading the charge. New entries meanwhile from hero Paul McCartney and his Elvis Costello co-write My Brave Face, Tom Petty and his Jeff Lynne-produced I Won’t Back Down, and a Beach Boys oldie duet between the Everly Brothers and the Beach Boys.

Nik Kershaw heads back into the 40 with a decent pop single, though as it didn’t sell he gave up the pop singing and moved into pop writing and producing, courtesy of Chesney Hawkes. Sam Brown follows up her topper with a fab Marvin Gaye cover, Can I Get A Witness, while superstars drop in low (Kylie, Queen, Stevie, Morrissey) – some will go up, but just how far, given I wasn’t that fussed by any of them initially, remains to be seen in May…
