6th August 1988
It's 2 weeks on top Kim, as suddenly Yazz challenges with the The Only Way Is Up, leaping from 31 - well, there's only one more up she can go, and then the only way is down! Mory Kante also leaps up to 5, the minor hit that keeps coming back as a minor hit, but a club success every time. Julia Fordham gets her one and only top 10 with the sweet Happy Ever After, and in a busy week at the top S'Express make it another top 10 and Voice Of The Beehive finally go top 10 with I Say Nothing. They'll be back in 2 years.
Highest new entry is a remix of a 1976 top 10 fave from the Climax Blues Band, in at 18, with Robbie Robertson's sultry Lazy River swirling upstream to 19. All About Eve go top 40, Dollar add to their 10-year-run of top 40's, and UB40 enter with the latest in their non-stop run of charting singles, 8 years without missing a beat. Siouxise missed one or two along the way, but most of her singles charted, another decade-long performer, this time with Peek A Boo. Meanwhile the affectionately remembered Tanita Tikarim debuts with Good Tradition, though I preferred her moody follow-up.
Kylie follows-up with a cheesy version of The Locomotion, not worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as Little Eva for Carole King & Gerry Goffin's party masterpiece - and yes Eva really was their babysitter! That made my top 3 in 1972 as a reissued hit, while Grand Funk Railroad's heavy version went top 5 in 1974. At this stage I would have been pressed to see Kylie lasting into the 90's, much less becoming a huge fan for 30 years. You never can tell! At 71, the acceptable face of SAW, though, as Brother Beyond enter with the catchy The Harder I Try, the term "eye candy" applies to the lead singer Nathan.

You not a Yazz fan Smurfie ? Thought you would have liked The Only Way Is Up, it's amazing! Loved Doctorin’ The House, however I really have no idea why I never warmed to The Only Way Is Up or any of her solo material. I just thought it was OK, it’ll appear in my chart at some point. It’s just one of those songs that on paper should tick all the boxes, but in play, doesn’t - see also Ride On Time and Stay by Shakespears Sister.

I loved The Only Way Is Up although I wasn't happy at the time about it keeping The Loco-Motion off the top. Over the years have grown to love TOWIP more and Loco less! Know what you mean about Stay although Bananarama did a great version of this at their Reunion tour a couple of years ago which I think you would really have liked. Ride On Time on the other hand is just plain brilliant though!
