HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 25th SEPTEMBER 1988

The Pet Shop Boys smash another record on the Retro-Chart as Domino Dancing gets a second week at the top. With a 91 point margin they break the previous record held by Midge Ure since September 1985 when If I Was had a lead of 78 points over The Cure’s Close To Me.



Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi was never really in contention for the top spot, instead they have to make do with a decent climb to number two, with their pursuit of a third chart-topper looking unlikely with this current single under the present circumstances.

Belinda Carlisle registers a third week at number three with World Without You as Whitney Houston returns to the Top Five as One Moment In Time climbs 11 places to number four.

Highest new entry is a massive debut at number five for Erasure with A Little Respect. Their last single Chains Of Love provided them with their previous highest debut on the chart when it stormed in at number ten in June. Chains Of Love peaked at number three…will A Little Respect be able to overthrow the Pet Shop Boys to provide Erasure with their first number one?

Biggest climb is a huge 22 place leap for Hazell Dean as (the slightly inferior version of) Turn It Into Love climbs to number 17.

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

9th October 1988

It's a second week on top for Love Is All That Matters (though food doesn't hurt too) as The Osmonds hit 2 17 years late and get their highest chart position to boot, outdoing 1973's top 5 Goin' Home. Nick Heyward gets his biggest solo chart hit since Blue Hat For A Blue Day also hit 5 in 1983, and his 4th top 5 in total including Haircut 100's Nobody's Fool and Love Plus One which both peaked at 2. Erasure get a 3rd top 10, though Vince has another 5 previous in different guises, as they get into their classic period, and Kim Wilde makes it a 2nd top 10 from Close, and her 7th to date.

Highest new entry is a debut for Enya at 21, the fab Orinoco Flow bringing her beautifully-produced Celtic-tinged harmonies to world music, and just behind are the Wee Papa Girl Rappers, who didn't make quite the same splash on the world stage with Wee Rule at 23. Hazell Dean makes it 4 top 40's, and in at 36 is a debut for the huge US hit What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy) from Information Society, as US bands learn from the Second British synth-based Invasion. It's a great track, I got mum & dad to buy me it in the USA while they were touring on holiday as it wasn't available in the UK at the time. It samples Leonard Nimoy aka Star Trek's Mr Spock, reason enough to buy it anyway!

Bananarama get their 16th top 40 track with only 3 singles peaking between 41 and 75 since their first hit in 1981, meanwhile the future-even-longer-chart-runner Kylie is back with Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi and her best single to date at 63, and The Adventures keep the run going with One Step From Heaven at 66. Rick Astley is already running out decent material with She Wants To Dance With Me new at 67, Gloria Estefan is back in latin-bop mode with 1-2-3 at 71, Tom Jones is also back - not a huge ballad this time though, it's an Art Of Noise collaboration cover of Prince's Kiss that kicks in at 72, just ahead of Ziggy Marley's latest Tumblin' Down. Next week, tumbin' down and out as it happens!

Escape Club's song was #1 in the USA and not a hit here. Sounds a lot like "Pump It Up" by Elvis Costello in the verses.

and then this comes along..
