LP Tears For Fears - Swords & Knives (LP The Seeds Of Love)

My highest new entry is the the first single from his number-one album ...But Seriously which addresses the subject the problem of homelessness. It topped the charts in the USA, Canada, Germany, Belgium, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden & Switzerland and peaked at UK #2. But despite or perhaps because of its success (It won Collins and Padgham the Grammy Award for Record of the Year at the 1991 awards ceremony; & won the 1990 BRIT Award for Best UK single). It received a largely negative reaction from music critics. At the time inger-songwriter and political activist Billy Bragg was scathing of the song drawing a contrast between Collins and a band he admired, the Clash, stating: "Phil Collins might write a song about the homeless, but if he doesn't have the action to go with it he's just exploiting that for a subject." Whilst he was righly criticised for his hypocrisy with his concern as a multimillionaire at the prospect of the UK's election of a tax-raising socialist government. But what best somes it up was Phil Collins himself in his brilliant pull no punches 2016 autobiography "Not Dead Yet" he summed the fall out from the track as "painting the bull's-eye on my own forehead"

My featured faller is the lead single from the Synth pop acts seventh studio album Big Trash. It was written and produced by Alannah Currie and Tom Bailey. It flopped at UK #97; however was a sizeable hit outside of Europe including USA #28, Canada #38.

Debuting as my highest new entry is the UK #12, USA #38, Canada #33, Australia #40 first single by the English "super group" which comprised Bernard Sumner of New Order, ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, and guesting vocalist Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys. Musically, Bernard Sumner wrote the verse and Johnny Marr wrote the chorus. The lyrics, co-written by Tennant with Sumner, are a parody of Marr's Smiths partner Morrissey, and his public stereotyping as morose and masochistic. The fluid, rich production incorporates a full orchestra conducted by Art of Noise's Anne Dudley.

My featured faller is the melancholic UK #31 third and final single to be taken from The Beautiful South's debut album Welcome to the Beautiful South.

LP Madonna - Pray For Spanish Eyes (LP Like A Prayer)

Closing out the decade with her 5th Retro Rewind chart topping hit, is the Queen of Pop with her powerful baroque pop ballad co-written & co-produced by Patrick Leonard. Despite an award winning black & white video directed by David Fincher this single stalled at USA #20 (this ended her streak of 16 consecutive top five singles), Canada #14 (ending her run of 17 consecutive top ten singles) & Australia #59 (breaking a run of 20 consecutive top 40 singles). It was not released as a single in Europe until 1996 when it reached UK #16. Yet critically it has become regarded as one of her top five efforts as her equivalent of other famous acts contemporary flops/sleeper tracks such as "The Day Before You Came"; "Heroes"; "Raspberry Beret"; Man In The Mirror".

My featured faller is the UK #5, Ireland #3, Australia #51 Beatlesque lullaby from Like A Prayer. Written and produced by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, based on a Leonard song inspired by Leonard's daughter Jessie which Madonna changed some of the lyrics for.

My highest new entry was the opportunistic cash in by a small indie label Revolver of the June 1987 single which this time around reached UK #27.

[Earl Purple]

Now you've finished the 80s. I guess there'll be a 90s one soon.

Towards the end of that they're flying in and out. Queen entering at #5 then not getting any higher - that's one of their greatest and most underrated songs. Video features a load of actor doubles.
