HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 16th NOVEMBER 1986

Bon Jovi remain at number one for a second week as they head up a completely static Top Three with Livin’ On A Prayer increasing the gap at the top of the chart.




Which means it’s bad news for Berlin who end up stuck at number two with Take My Breath Away and Kim Wilde’s You Keep Me Hangin’ On is also anchored at number three.


Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush break into the Top Five as Don’t Give Up moves up to number four and Swedish rockers Europe climb to number five with The Final Countdown.


There’s a massive climb of 21 places for Debbie Harry as French Kissin’ In The USA jumps to number ten.


Anita Baker finally makes it into the Top Twenty with Sweet Love after thirteen weeks on the chart.


But there’s disappointment for Duran Duran as their latest single Notorious stalls at number 13 to become their first release to fail to make the Top Ten.


Highest new entry is from Simple Minds with Ghostdancing, which debuts at number 23.


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

A quieter week with just 5 new entries, and Bruce Springsteen had last year's Christmas #1 but his cover of "War" only enters at #23 so he's unlikely to have the Christmas #1 again this year.

Instead it could be Genesis who climb from #10 to #3 this week, and they have already had a #1 this year. Their former lead singer Peter Gabriel meanwhile surrenders the top spot to Spandau Ballet's song about the trouble in Northern Ireland.

We are slowing down the pace a bit as well with a slushy ballad by Gregory Abbott and also the Eurythmics song is very slow paced.

However right at the foot we finally get some heavy rock, as Iron Maiden borrow a phrase from the book of Exodus - this was a statement made by Moses after his first son was born, when he named him Gershom.

Anyway, this is my favourite of all the Communards' singles.

25th November 1986

It's a sudden leap to the top spot for Erasure, Sometimes has pottered around climbing slowly for a few weeks, before stopping Debbie Harry getting a solo topper - though Blondie would be back for some more in the 21st century anyway. Vince Clark had already topped with Yazoo's Only You 4 years earlier, and it wouldn't be his last chart-topper either. Cyndi Lauper rockets into the top 20 with Change Of Heart, easily outdoing True Colors which was pleasantly dull in comparison, and giving her a 4th top 20.

Highest newie is The Damned, 7 years of chart entries and counting, followed by a 3rd for Fuzzbox, both inside the 40, just behind a leaping Jam & Lewis Human League, and ahead of a cool Oran 'Juice' Jones, both climbing fast. Genesis also return with one of their very best singles, Land Of Confusion and it's Spitting Image video, and the smooth Shake You Down gives Gregory Abbott a debut. Actor and comedian Billy Crystal, long a fave from the sitcom Soap, and en route to movie stardom, slips out a whimsical US hit single, You Look Marvellous, done in the style of latin Hollywood movie star Fernando Llamas, and tickles my fancy as I also liked Fernando. The Housemartins cover the Isleys, and instantly outdo them with their accapella version.

Talking of Yazoo, Alison Moyet is also back with a goodie, Is This Love, and Howard Jones & Five Star add to their list, while new in at 75, briefly, it's Wendy Richard reprising her 1962 smash Come Outside, which I adored as a 4 or 5-year-old and thereafter, though she swaps lead singer from Mike Sarne to Mike Berry who had been hitless for 6 years, but gets 11 years of chart entries since his 1975 cover of Don't Be Cruel, some 10 years since his 60's popstar career stalled.
