HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 11th JUNE 1989

There’s a brand new number one this week as Soul II Soul and Caron Wheeler take over at the top with Back To Life. Soul II Soul have been gaining momentum over the last year; their first two singles, Fairplay and Feel Free failed to chart, but their next release, Keep On Movin’ made number four earlier this year.



The Beautiful South were ahead all week with Song For Whoever but fell back to number two with the last couple of individual charts that were posted.

Madonna gets another Top Three hit as Express Yourself climbs another place.

R.E.M. climb to number four with Orange Crush, equalling their previous best with The One I Love in 1987.

Unable to match the success of the number one hit This Time I Know It’s For Real, Donna Summer slips to number five with I Don’t Wanna Get Hurt.

And as for last week’s number one…..Neneh Cherry suffers a massive drop as Manchild tumbles all the way back to number seven.

Biggest climber is from Paula Abdul with Forever Your Girl, the follow up to her recent number three smash Straight Up.

Highest new entry is courtesy of Transvision Vamp with The Only One, hot on the heels of their recent number one, Baby I Don’t Care.

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

I've been waiting for 'Toy Soldiers', it's one of my favourite songs of all-time. I think you're a week ahead of me though.

I'm charting it because it entered the US top 20 this week, where I am not a week ahead.

25th June 1989

It’s a shock new Number One, keeping off my beloved Pet Shop Boys at 2, and it’s Michael Jackson’s Bad album track. Two years on, the album that was my 1987 USA holiday album, along with Pet Shop Boys, Actually, and singles are still coming off it – while the PSB’s are into their next album (and there were plenty more worthy singles on Actually). Librarian Girl, actually it was a sweet superstar-full cameo video that made it excusable, that, and the fact that it had originally been one of my fave tracks on the album. It still felt like an oldie though, which is why it could enter at 1, being as I’d already been very familiar with it for 2 years. It’s also MJ’s 16th chart-topper in various guises in 19 years.

Spirit Of The Forest meanwhile rocket to 3, as an all-star charity record fails to have the same impact as others. A tree-huggers new age wanna-be anthem. That’ll be me then, cos every warning that was given then has come true in spades since. Or, more accurately, in buzzsaws since. Money rules everything and damn the consequences. All those Sting-quipping, Bono-hating, cynical do-nothing-but-whinge-about-those-that-try-to-do-something crap stand-ups can just p*ss off. The record’s not as good as it’s intentions though, not even with Kate Bush on it. I refer back to the previous weeks Pet Shop Boys song comments, they do it WAY better. Kudos though, to all those involved.

Talking of Bono, he’s back again with U2 as well as Clannad. Bee Gees and Prince get their umpteenth Top 10 hit, the Gibbs being at 2 in my first-ever chart in 1968, but looking for One this time. Talking of Prince, highest new entry is Sheena Easton, 9 years on from being a Modern Girl, and looking very different. 101 is her best record. It should have been massive. Prince wrote and produced it, and it sounds like classic Prince, moody, percussive, building to a climax, and Sheena certainly has one at the end. Fab.

Lots of records upping and downing and back-upping – I have no idea why, to be honest, it looks like I’m all over the place emotionally still. UB40 go top 20, Rufus and Chaka remix it back 5 years on and Ain’t Nobody can argue with that at 26. Baby Ford’s Second-summer-of-love dance version of T.Rex shoots to 33, just behind similarly-titled Danny Wilson’s popfun at 29. At 45, the much-missed great Kirsty Maccoll covers the Kinks Days, and improves on it. Simply Red switch to cha-cha rhythms at 53, while Eartha Kitt and Bronski Beat actually quote them at 74. The great Rev. Al Green is back for one of his occasional comebacks outside the church at 63, 18 years on from his great debut. Finally it’s Tin Machine at 71. Eh? David Bowie. 71 is about right….
