23rd February 1992
It's yet another oldie on top as the CD-single reactivated The Boxer tops my chart 23 years late for Simon & Garfunkel, a song I know every single word to. If only I could sing in tune. The KLF climb 10 and threaten a 4th chart-topper in a row with the What Time Is Love revamp that I prefer to the original hit version. Buffy Sainte-Marie gets a top 5 for the first time in 21 years, when Soldier Blue did the trick. Gary Moore climbs into the top 10 with a Cold Day In Hell as Blues undergoes a 90's revival, and Jacko sneaks a top 10 with Remember The Time under-performing by usual MJ standards.
Highest new entry is Julian Cope, 11 years on from Reward peaking at 2 for Teardrop Explodes, as he sings Lover times 3. At 34, ex-Spandau Tony Hadley has a solo entry for Lost In Your Love, and Tone is into his 12th year of charting. Rozalla flies back with another dance anthem, U2 drop an absolute classic ballad anthem in One, and Crowded House enter with their most-famous song Weather With You, the former also 11 years into the hits, the latter 12 years including Split Enz.
That leaves The Troggs unexpectedly staging an album comeback Athens Andover, and single entry at 70 with Don't You Know, actually their debut in my charts as their career predated my charting years. The album title refers to Andover, Reg Presley's UFO-cornfield-chasing home in the UK, and Athens Georgia where they recorded the album along with some local fans, REM, cough. River City People return, and Opus III insist it's a fine day.
