10th April 1988
It's 4 weeks on top for Heart as the Eighth Wonder threat subsides, though more than likely One More Chance would have been pushing it hard had I allowed album tracks in the chart - topping my non-current-single playlist that week I've slipped it in again as a number 76 - as I can't say for sure where in the chart it would have charted, it has to settle for 76. Fleetwood Mac finally get up to 2 and is one of 3 tracks threatening, as Louis Armstrong's gorgeously heart-warming What A Wonderful World is re-issued 20 years on, entering at 3. I hadn't started charting in early 1968, but it probably would have topped my chart as I loved it as a kid. In at 4, it's an instant high new entry for a Giorgio Moroder girl band project, When The Love Is Good is utterly fab. They had an album, 3 singles, a tour, lead singer Bobbi Eakes (a former Miss Georgia) had a powerful voice and this song was one of Moroder's best - and it stiffed, the band didn't catch on. I suspect it's down to the sudden change in musical climate in 1988.
Jermaine Stewart has a big climb, into the 20 for the 3rd time, and George Michael pulls another Faith album track out as a single, the sublime gospel-ish One More Try, in at 22, as Cher leaps into the 30. Natalie Cole, Tiffany and Taylor Dayne all bring some female vocal action to the 40, and among the 14 new entries are DJ's Pat & Mick killing, oops I mean covering, 1978 Michael Zager Band hit Let's All Chant, Jesus & Mary Chain sidewalking, presumably like crabs, and the brilliant Israeli dance vibe of I'm Nin Alu from Ofra Haza. Even more significant is the debut from S-Express, sampling the achingly brilliant Rose Royce riff from 1979's Is It Love You're After, and creating an even more brilliant very different cut 'n' paste dance smash, Theme From S-Express with that all-important hyphen.
The Christians' 4-year-run of great singles continues with Born Again, Born Again Christians, arf, the Christian Brothers must have been having a Scouse laugh at that one, Expose get another Miami-dance-vibe charter, T'Pau do a live single, S-Ex Talk, oh hang on, not Essex Talk, there's no hyphen, and Aerosmith keep the revival strong with Angel. That leaves Lloyd Cole entering with From The Hip as I was about to see him live at Poole Arts Centre with his Commotions - more next week - and Def Leppard Armageddin' It, a bad pun to be proud of.
