HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 23rd MARCH 1986

The Pet Shop Boys second chart-topper can only manage a single week at the top as they get pushed aside by the combined force of Cliff Richard, Hank Marvin and The Young Ones.




Living Doll was last week’s highest new entry at number 7 and rises all the way to the top this week with a relatively comfortable margin.


The battle for the runner-up spot sees David Bowie and the Pet Shop Boys share the honours between them, with both songs still registering a slight growth in points.


After a fortnight at number three the Blow Monkeys hit reverse as Digging Your Scene dips to number four.


Prince is back in the Top Five for the sixth time, including two chart-toppers, as Kiss moves up three places to land at number five.


The highest new entry this week is from Queen, who blast their way into the Top Ten at number six. A Kind of Magic provides Freddie and the boys with their sixth Top Ten hit. Still searching for their first elusive number one, Queen have come close on two occasions, I Want To Break Free and Radio Ga Ga both peaked at number two in 1984. The signs are good for this latest release though as it becomes their highest debuting single to date.


There’s a huge climb this week from Falco as Rock Me Amadeus leaps 19 places to land just inside the Top Ten.


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

--(30) Sigue Sigue Sputnik - Love Missile F1-11

---

A number of people from this chart are now dead: David Bowie, Rik Mayall from the Young Ones, Freddie Mercury from Queen, Frank Sinatra, Prince, Falco, George Michael, Robert Palmer and Michael Hutchence from Inxs, plus Paul Young from Mike & The Mechanics and Jim Diamond who both drop out this week, and Sam Cooke who is in the UK chart was already dead in 1986 (having been shot in 1964).

Freddie Mercury was the first on that list to die, in 1991, then Michael Hutchence in 1997, followed by Falco and Frank Sinatra, both in 1998.

1st April 1986

It's a first week on top for the brilliant E=MC2, presiding over a rapid-moving upper-chart and sluggish lower-end. George Michael rockets up to 8 with his gorgeously touching A Different Corner, as 50's oldie Peter Gunn gives Duane Eddy an updated 80's top 10, his first since 1975, while Sam Cooke gets his first top 10 with the Jeans-advert oldie, and still definitive version of the much-covered song.

Stevie Wonder is Overjoyed at just missing the top 10, and Queen are magic at 13, with Stevie Nicks making it 2 top 20's in a row. Heart get that elusive top 40 at last, as Bryan Adams adds to his, and Atlantic Starr leap up. Highest new entry is a Shellshocked New Order, as Tom Waits gruffly enters in the neighbourhood, trombones blazing. Jim Diamond extends his run to 4 years since PhD topped the chart, a-ha get a third, Bronski Beat a 5th-ish, Julian Lennon a 4th (or so), and Jermaine Jackson a 6th or 7th or 8th solo (I can't be arsed to look it up) but a whole plethora of Jackson 5 tracks on top of that.
