HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 28th AUGUST 1988

Jane Wiedlin gets a second week at the top with Rush Hour. After last week’s tightly fought battle with a lead of just a single point, her second week at the top is quite comfortable, with a 45 point margin.



Womack and Womack continue their advance up the Retro-Chart as Teardrops climbs a further two places to number two.

Sweet Child O’Mine by Guns n’ Roses moves up three places to number three. Opinion seems split across the Atlantic on this record, it’s currently number 2 in the US but stalled at number 24 on the Official UK chart.

Breathe’s challenge for the top is over as Hands To Heaven dips to number four, leaving Robbie Robertson stuck at number five.

There are two records that share the honour of biggest climber of 13 places this week. A-Ha get their tenth Top 10 hit with Touchy!, which climbs to number 7. After nine consecutive Top 10 singles, their last song, The Blood That Moves The Body, was a surprising flop, failing to make the Top 40 at all.

The other biggest climb is from Yello as The Race jumps to number 12. It’s a second hit for the Swiss duo, after an absence of five years, with their previous hit I Love You peaking at number 19 in 1983.

Highest new entry is from Phil Collins with A Groovy Kind Of Love from the Buster soundtrack, in at number 15.

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

11th Sept 1988

It's another 60's classic in at 1 for the second week in a row, this time The Beatles Hey Jude back on top for the 3rd occasion, after topping my first ever chart - I SAY first-ever, what I mean is my first-ever retro chart that I retroactively compiled a few years later as I considered Hey Jude ground zero for my chart obsession - I discovered Alan Freeman's Sunday chart rundown and became an avid listener 20 years earlier when it got to number one in the UK charts, then it topped my chart in 1976 during the mass invasion of Beatles singles reissues, and now again for the 20th anniversary release as it charted again.

Meanwhile Bill Withers makes it top 5 for the second time, 10 years later and remixed, UB40 add to their long list of top 10's, and Nick Heyward gets a top 10 with a UK flop single, one of his best solo records that was quite annoying. Highest new song is Pet Shop Boys' Domino Dancing, the video hinting that the duo might not be quite the hetero-pop act they never claimed to be, in at 14 and produced in Florida as the dance scene was hot with the latino-tinged productions originating there. In at 20, Beach Boy legend Brian Wilson was back and producing music on his own. The voice might have been changed by the drugs and lack of use, but Love And Mercy still entered high, as The Beach Boys had appeared on my first chart rundown 20 years earlier.

Elton has a big climb into the 30 with Town Of Plenty, as I remained faithful while the hits dried up, ditto Midge Ure new in at 57 12 years since he debuted in Slik, before morphing through Rich Kids, Ultravox, Visage, Band Aid and solo. Answers To Nothing, Midge. Carly Simon is back with a live version of her signature tune, You're So Vain, that Warren Beatty commentary, and Dead Or Alive scrape in with Turn Around And Count To 10.
