HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 29th MAY 1988

Belinda Carlisle has a more comfortable week at number one as Circle In The Sand extends its run at the top to three weeks. Of her three chart-toppers this year, Heaven Is A Place On Earth has actually had the shortest run at number one.



Aztec Camera remain frustrated at number two for a third week. As the points total for Somewhere In My Heart is starting to tumble, it’s looking unlikely it will make it to number one now.

Voice Of The Beehive move up one place to number three with Don’t Call Me Baby.

Heart are back in the top five for the first time since Alone spent four weeks at number two last year, becoming our biggest record to never have reached the top of the chart, and still clinging on to its place in the All-Time Top Ten.

Desireless continues her steady ascent of the chart as Voyage Voyage climbs seven place, becoming the second French spoken record to hit the Top Five this year, following on from the number one success of Joe Le Taxi in February.

Highest new entry is from The Timelords as Doctorin’ The Tardis enters at number 14.

Biggest climb is a jump of 14 places for LA Mix as Check This Out lands at number 18.

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

This was a big year for the ladies, but it seemed that some of them were already struggling to sustain their success after bursting on to the scene at the start of the year.  I remember being quite shocked that Taja Sevelle and Pebbles both failed to crack the Top 40 with their follow-ups to pretty big hits (both of which were superior imo)  And then Taylor Dayne fell short after coming agonisingly close with this gorgeous ballad, I kept waiting and waiting for this to appear on the Top 40 countdown.  Her voice is almost too big for this song, maybe it was just the wrong choice of single for the UK.  Always wondered whether a club remix of Do You Want It Right Now from the album would have worked better, it certainly worked for Degrees of Motion a few years later.

No video this week from the current chart.

Of the entries, "Breakfast In Bed" is another UB40 cover version, and was previously recorded by Dusty Springfield but it is Lorna Bennett's reggae arrangement they have copied, just like they did with Tony Tribe's arrangement of Neil Diamond's "Red Red Wine".

12th July 1988

It's 2 weeks on top for Belinda as The Timelords Glamrock the Tardis up to 2, and Rose Royce is back with a super-double-A-side single reissue of their 1977/1979 hits - Is It Love You're After is the real A side though, following on from the S-Express sample, and is a top hit again second time around. Erasure bound into the 10 with Chains Of Love, very popular pastime in some quarters, as does Alexander O'Neal still on an r'n'b roll, and Maxi Priest gives Cat Stevens his first top 10 song since err Wild World in 1970.

George Michael is back with yet another Faith track, this time it's a Jam & Lewis remix of Monkey, which is way better than the album version, straight in at 14, giving both George & Jam & Lewis 2 in the 20. Newly-solo Morrissey is back with possibly his best solo single, Everyday Is Like Sunday, in at 16, and The Pasadenas debut with the fab 70's-Philly-referencing Tribute at 17. The Communards return with There's More To Love, Tracey Chapman drives in with her evergreen fast car, The Silencers get another flop single in my chart, with Painted Moon, and Boy George gets all political about Clause 28 which banned mentioning the "Gay" word to children, Thatcher preferring to pretend there's no such thing.

George Harrison insists that This Is Love, and extends his solo run to 18 years, Bob's boy Ziggy Marley debuts with Tomorrow People, sounding not entirely unlike his late father, 60's oldie Do You Love Me enters for The Contours thanks to Dirty Dancing, I think, though it was more familiar to me via UK covers up to this point. Loose Ends return with what is more Tail-Ends as far as their career is concerned, sadly, and finally Sisters Of Mercy sneak in with Lucretia My Reflection - quite modest by their recent standards, but expect it to go up.
