Haven Combi Retro-Chart W/B 20th August 1989

[Kingpin]

HAVEN COMB RETRO-CHART W/B 20th AUGUST 1989

There’s a changeover at the top as Italo-dance act Black Box storm to number one with their debut hit Ride on Time.



Liza Minnelli’s Pet Shop Boys produced Losing My Mind moves up three places to number two.

Last week’s number one, Toy Soldiers by Martika, slips to number three after a three week reign at the top of the chart.

Alice Cooper’s Poison slips to number four and the Lightning Seeds residency in the runner-up position is over as Pure dips to number five.

Cliff Richard leads long list of new entries this week as his Stock, Aitken and Waterman produced I Just Don’t Have the Heart debuts at number 14.

Joint biggest climbers are Elton John’s Healing Hands and The KLF with Kylie Said to Jason, as they both move up 15 places together.

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

There are two directional changes in music. One is where you change your style to appeal to more people but upset your hard-core fans at the same time who accuse you of "selling out".

Then there is the opposite change in direction, where you decide your music is too commercial / pop / or whatever and you want to appeal to your "critics" and be more "alternative" in one way or another. Unfortunately that's the way Debbie Gibson headed.

Of course, sometimes it works, and sometimes maybe it is forced upon you. You could say with Depeche Mode, Vince Clark sparked things off, but their music turned darker even after that, but "Personal Jesus" is considered one of their classics.

Much further down, another band who lost their key member, i.e. Marillion with Steve Hogarth instead of Fish, get an entry but they used to get NM #1s...

Way back in 1965, the Rolling Stones replaced (Sonny And) Cher at number one.

Also, I don't care what it said on the label of the Technotronic single, I am putting the real featured artist in there.

Song title for The Association (that one covered by David Cassidy), Kool & The Gang and now Madonna. Kool & The Gang's song was in the chart when "Into The Groove" reached number one in the UK.

all these Haven Factor artists entering.. 6 of my entries have been in Haven Factor. I don't think Sydney Youngblood has enough songs, Technotronic have a few more but still not enough. Marillion could be an interesting one though.

All of Shireblogger's entries are by Haven Factor acts, including two of mine.
