HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 2nd FEBRUARY 1986

Five Star manage a second week at the top of the chart with System Addict. They register a big dip in points so their days may be numbered as Billy Ocean moves 8-2 to close the gap with When The Going Gets Tough.



Whitney Houston climbs into the Top Three with How Will I Know but its chances of matching the #2 peak of Saving All My Love For You look slim as its already in decline.


Madonna is racing to catch up with the leaders as Borderline also climbs a place to number four.


All this activity at the top means that the former number one by A-Ha, The Sun Always Shines On TV, is down to number five.


This week’s highest new entry comes from The Damned as Eloise debuts at number 21 and the biggest climb is from Public Image Limited with Rise, up 12 places to number 11.


And here’s this week’s Retro Chart in full…

11th February 1986

It's 4 weeks on top for a-ha presiding over a volatile chart, Billy Ocean leaping to 2 for a career-best chart position after 12 years of trying, starting from 1974's Top 5 On The Run (under the pseudonym Scorched Earth, and as good as later gems). Five Star go top 3, Eloise takes the Damned to a career-high after 9 years of trying for a top 5 - and also reactivates the former original chart-topper, still the best version, in my oldies playlist. As does Stevie Nicks going top 20 with I Can't Wait reactivating an oldie on the playlist. Talk Talk get a first Top 10 in 4 years, since Today did it, and the highest new entry is a new peak for a record that pottered about my chart in 1985 - the awesome Behind The Mask in at 10.

PIL, Clannad, James Bown and Bono all return to the top 20 - except James Brown who does it for the actual first time after 16 years of occasional minor hits, admittedly past his 60's pre-chart peak. Genesis spin-off project of Mike Rutherford, and featuring the smooth vocals of former Ace vocalist Paul Carrack, gives a fab new entry for Silent Running at 23, 12 years after both first charted. Betty Wright pops back in with her first top 30 in 11 years, Manic Monday rockets into the 40 for The Bangles, Huey Lewis is back yet again with the Back To The Future theme, and John Cougar also climbs high with Smalltown - a song which I co-incidentally saw on The Cleveland Show this week.

Ozzy Osbourne is back 16 years since he went Paranoid with Black Sabbath, but not quite So Tired this time as he tries A Shot In The Dark. Midge has a 4th solo entry a decade since his chart career started with Slik-ness, and Kissing The Pink come back after a 3 year-break from The Last Film.
