12th January 1992
It's 2 weeks on top for the 1966 classic from the Walker Brothers as Marc Almond makes it two top 3's in a row with My hand Over Your Heart at 3, and the highest new entry at 7 from Shakespear's Sister, their 2nd top 10 since You're History went top 3 in 1989, though Siobhan has loads of others as a Nana. Stay is an epic ballad, and an instant "woah" moment on first hearing. Blue Pearl grab a second top 10, ABC rocket into the 20 for the first time in 5 years, Say It! Enigma make it 3 in 12 months, and New Kids On The Block get a 4th, and highest peaking after Hangin Tough, Right Stuff and Tonight all peaked at 20.
The Blessing remix their 1991 flop and return again with Highway 5 at 22, Kylie covers classic 1970 Chairmen Of The Board's Give Me Just A Little More Time at 28, and Kiss smack into the 30 with their Argent cover. New at 33, Cicero debuts with Love Is Everywhere, sounding a little like a cheesy Eurodisco version of Pet Shop Boys. Most likely due to Pet Shop Boys co-producing, Neil helping on backing vocals, and Cicero being signed to their Spaghetti record label.
At 54, Bjork debuts with Hit. OK, it's The Sugarcubes, but she's very much there. Voice Of The Beehive are new at 60, with the minor hits still coming, Perfect Place, and Buffy Sainte-Marie returns for the first time in 20 years to my charts, with the fabulous Big Ones Get Away, political and relevant as ever in 2022 as it was 1992. Still charting in my charts in the 21st century with a song she recorded aged 75, and still fab and still fighting for First Nation rights in Canada and elsewhere aged 80-odd.
Ce Ce Peniston is back with another jaunty House dance number, We Got A Love Thang, Crystal Waters is already in Megamix territory, not usually a good sign for a long-term career, and Quo enter with Rock Till You Drop. And that has proved to be an actual mission statement for the much-missed Rick Parfitt and still-touring/recording Francis Rossi. My playlist oldies that week featuring 50's ballad doo-wop stylee hits. It can't be nostalgia, as I wasn't born, so it's just cos I like them and was in a 50's groove.
