HAVEN COMBI RETRO CHART FOR W/B 16th DECEMBER 1984
A double Christmas update today taking us to the end of the year.
A second week at the top for Band Aid’s ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas’ , although they’re again run very close, this time by Wham! as ‘Last Christmas’ surges to number two. It’s Wham’s third consecutive song to hit number two this year, following hot on the heels of ‘Wake Me Up Before You Go Go’ and ‘Freedom’. Will ‘Last Christmas’ go one better and earn George and Andrew their first number one?
Frankie Goes To Hollywood continue to climb as ‘The Power Of Love’ moves up to number three. Have they left it too late to grab themselves a third number one single?
Tears For Fears and Paul Young complete the Top 5 with ‘Shout’ and ‘Everything Must Change’
This week’s highest new entry, alongside a couple of Christmas re-entries, is Sal Solo with ‘San Damiano (Heart and Soul)’, in at number 21.
