HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 30th JULY 1989

There’s a brand new number one this week for Martika. Emulating the success on the Billboard Chart, Toy Soldiers wins a closely fought battle with the Lightning Seeds, ahead by just four points.



Last week’s number one, Days by Kirsty MacColl, drops to number three as Gloria Estefan is similarly displaced with Don’t Wanna Lose You, down to number four.

A potential challenger for the top has emerged from Shakespear’s Sister as You’re History leaps a massive 27 places to number five.

Highest new entry is from Kylie Minogue with Wouldn’t Change a Thing, straight in at number ten.

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

Great to see my favourite song of the year at #1.

Another of my favourites is 'Losing My Mind', which could do well on here... as it is, in my view, one of the best productions the Pet Shop Boys had a hand in!

Debbie Gibson gig next week at Wembley, she has 2 singles inside the top 10... Lost In Your Eyes was #1 for 5 weeks, Electric Youth for 2 weeks and No More Rhyme for 2 weeks, so 9 so far this year. I'll have to check the records of Elvis Presley and the Beatles as they both clearly had a lot in their time, but the all-time record for weeks at #1 in a single calendar year in my chart is 16 by Skinny Lister in 2015, and they also had 3 weeks at #1 in December 2014.

Electric Youth was knocked off the top by Queen's "I Want It All" but "The Invisible Man" is nowhere near good enough to get to #1.

A year before George Michael recorded a new song with the same title as one of his former band, Jody Watley did the same, although it fails to chart. "Friends" with Eric B & Rakim is a different song to that by Shalamar of which she was a member.

13th August 1989

An amazingly overlong run at 1 for Gloria keeps Liza at 2. Awwww! Losing My Mind over that one. A quiet week at the top lets Martika, Bobby Brown and Aswad get their 1st, 2nd and third Top 10’s respectively. Elton leaps to 14, something’s Jumpin’ even more – from 70 to 16 it’s Malcolm McLaren’s model-cool dance track. Transvision Vamp and Neneh Cherry both get their 3rd Top 20 hit, meanwhile, as some Classics enter just below, highest at 26 being Black Box, the Italian house classic (with model-fronting Loleatta Holloway Love Sensation-sampling brilliant Ride On Time). Still a classic.

Even better, the Beatles-inspired epic Sowing The Seeds Of Love announces Tears For Fears 7th year of fantastic hits. Pure 1967 retro video and All You Need Is Love styled chorus, and juuuuust amazing. Just to keep up the new singles, Sydney Youngblood debuts at 34 with the fab If Only I Could, a great song, snuggling in just behind Cher and Bon Jovi into the 40. Oh but that’s not all! Madonna’s 3rd single off Like A Prayer is at 39, the sweet and pretty Cherish. Sir Cliff is also back with a Stock-Aitken-Waterman biggie, the otherwise not bad I Just Don’t Have The Heart.

Minor entries for Spandau, Paula Abdul, Art Of Noise, REM, Jody watley, Debbie Gibson and another fairly bland SAW cover (Mick Jackson’s Blame It On The Boogie) for Big Fun.
