Great to see Carter USM get a #2 hit on this combi-chart, even if it's a long way from #1 and only with 100 points total. They remain on top of mine for a 3rd week but now under pressure from Extreme who climb up to #2. Metallica's classic I thought would be a challenge for the top places here and that climbs in my chart to #4. The Wedding Present maybe will be more popular with their UK top 10 hit due to chart very soon.

Del Amitri gets my highest entry, then Morrissey, who at this point is now with his new band and a song written by Alain Whyte, who will be his main songwriting partner for a number of years and also wrote the wonderful "First Of The Gang To Die" 12 years later.

Just behind him there is Sophie B Hawkins with this song having entered the US top 40 and it will be a UK hit later in the year. Joe Cocker's entry was written by John Miles, who had that massive NM #1 hit "Music" in 1976. John Miles also plays piano and keyboards on this recording.

Among the other new entries, we have R Kelly, who like Gary Glitter in the 1974 retro chart will be judged here purely for the music. But R Kelly won't have that much chart success with me.

It sounds so much like a Belinda Carlisle song that I had to look it up and indeed it was written by Rick Nowels and Ellen Shipley who wrote most of Belinda Carlisle's biggest hits, but this song was written for Kim and Belinda Carlisle never recorded it herself. Maybe it was written originally for her but it didn't make the cut onto her albums.
