HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 29th JUNE 1986

The Housemartins top the Retro-Chart for a second week and this time with a record-breaking points total.




Happy Hour features on every single chart posted this week amassing a points tally of 222. The previous highest score in a week was from A-Ha with The Sun Always Shines On TV, which managed 221 points in January, so The Houemartins have just edged past them.

Madonna shows a big growth in points this week as Papa Don’t Preach smashes its way into the Top Ten, however she’s a long way off Happy Hour.

Wham’s Edge Of Heaven continues to climb the chart as it moves up one place to number three.

My Favourite Waste Of Time moves into the Top Five as Owen Paul jumps three places to number four, leaving Banananrama stuck at number five with Venus.

There are a couple of big climbs this week, Steve Winwood’s Higher Love and Roses from Haywoode both move up 19 places

The highest new entry this week is from Midnight Star with Headline, with a modest debut at number 30.

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

8th July 1986

It's 4 weeks on top for the Fizz, as Bananarama join Wham! in challenging for the top spot - but Madonna grabs a 4th top 5 and speeding up behind her is Stevie Winwood's Higher Love, his first top 5 as his early stuff predates my charts. The Real Roxanne is Bang Zoom! rapping it to the moon at 9, and Haywoode's Roses are blooming at last at 10.

Highest new entry is the fab veterans Archie Bell & The Drells, an 80's variation on their fab 60's/early 70's Philly soul sounds. Don't Let Me Get You Down is their first new hit in a decade, and extends their run to 14 years (or, in my retro charts of 1967/68 which I created 50 years late, 19 years). They topped my chart in 1972 with Here I Go Again. Brilliant! It's Somebody in at 36 for an early look-in for Youth & the KLF man, as the 15-year-old recording, finally released in 1977, is back again for another try at 37 for Suzy & The Red Stripes - aka Linda McCartney, and her own song Seaside Woman, with a little help from her (Wings) friends. technically she co-wrote Live And Let Die (like this song, the reggae bit) so she had form and it was a nice nose-thumb to the music critics. And of course, a huge American chart-topper with hubbie Paul in the brilliant Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey 15 years earlier, but tragically not one I got to hear at the time - though it has since topped my charts.

Rod Stewart is back with a celtic-sounding ballad, Nick Heyward is keeping the minor entries dribbling out, Drum Theatre are back with a song I heard them do in concert. They were good live. Records never really matched the in concert experience though. Warning Will Robinson! Yes, Lady In Red enters with a 69 as the torture of wedding dances for the next decade looms from Chris De Burgh. I'll take the Ferryman track anyday 9 years earlier, or the Spaceman one. Sam Fox makes it a double top, err 75, It's Immaterial aren't quite as endearing when they stop driving away from home, and The Blow Monkeys keep it funky, but less jazzy and memorable than Digging Your Scene.
