The number 3's from 1989
Please rate the following out of 10. If you don't know a song, please look it up on Youtube before voting.
I'll tot the scores up at the end to see which is Havens favourite #3 of 1989. I'll probably leave it open for a few months, to make sure we get everyone's votes.
n.b. Where the single is listed as a double A side, I have gone for the "lead" of the two.
Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance Roy Orbison - You Got It Bananarama and Lananeeneenoonoo - Help Donna Summer - This Time I Know It's For Real Paula Abdul - Straight Up Transvision Vamp - Baby I Don't Care Lynne Hamilton - On The Inside Queen - I Want It All Sydney Youngblood - If Only I Could Cliff Richard - I Just Don't Have The Heart Madonna - Cherish Rebel MC and Double Trouble - Street Tuff Jeff Wayne - Eve Of The War (Ben Liebrand Remix) Soul II Soul - Get A Life

BTW, the girl in the video for Sydney Youngblood's "I'd Rather Go Blind" was stunning.

The BBC received a number of complaints when they cut short Roy Orbison's video on TOTP.
Wendy James was rather attractive......

Surprisingly good year. 10 for Roy but even better was "She's A Mystery To Me". And Manchild was also far superior to Buffalo Stance. Madonna also had 2 number ones in my chart that year but Cherish wasn't one of them.
I'd have given Lynne less but ooh, I was obsessed with Prisoner Cell Block H..
Donna Summer: one of Stock Aitken Waterman's better moments.
It was quite pleasant hearing "The Only One" by Transvision Vamp on one of my retro charts. Didn't remember it that well but it was actually a very good song.
Jeff Wayne: better left alone.

I kinda loved the Stock Aitken Waterman stuff from '89, especially Kylie's second album. I never liked "Cherish" back in the day but it's grown on me over the years.

Street Tuff was excellent, but Just Keep Rockin', their previous single which just missed the top ten and was credited the other way around, was even better.

I would guess that Transvision Vamp would win from that list but it might be Neneh Cherry.
