HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 6th AUGUST 1989

Martika enjoys a second week at number one with the slimmest of margins. Just a point separates Toy Soldiers from its nearest rival, Pure by the Lightning Seeds, with both records enjoying a nice increase in points.



A static top two is followed by a minor reshuffle in the rest of the Top Five. After their huge climb last week, You’re History by Shakespear’s Sister climbs another couple of places to number three.

Poison by Alice Cooper is hot on the heels of Siobhan and Marcella as it also moves up a couple of places to number four.

Completing the Top Five is She Bangs The Drums by the Stone Roses.

Highest new entry is Losing My Mind by Liza Minnelli, which enters straight in at number nine.

Biggest climb is a 17 place jump for Transvision Vamp as Landslide Of Love climbs to number 13.

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

[popchartfreak]

20th August 1989

A new number one, and it’s Elton’s fabulous Healing Hands. I have to admit I was completely baffled how this one managed to flop big time in the UK in 1989. His 7th number one in my chart, about as many in the USA, and yet to get a UK chart-topper on his own. Bizarre. Poor ol’ Liza was the bridesmaid again at 2. Highest new entry at 4, a 1966 classic from hippie Donovan, Sunshine Superman, probably his best record and pop psychedelia royalty giving him a belated second Top 20 hit 20 years on.

Tears For Fears sow seeds at 5, Black Box ride it to 8, and it’s a Mental new entry at 12 for some Manic MC’s. Crazy. Bon Jovi have their biggest hit in 3 years, and Rocky Horror classic The Time Warp transports in at 19 for Damian. Party classic or what?! Really drives me insa-a-a-a-ane, as Jameela might say. Meanwhile Debbie Gibson inexplicably rockets to 23, as the KLF explicably shoot up to 24. New: Donna Summer’s 3rd SAW hit of the year, Richard Marx debuts with the pleasant Right Here Waiting, The Cure bounce back with Love Song 9 years into the run of great singles, and Janet Jackson’s big comeback single isn’t Missed that much at a lowly 69.
