HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 2nd OCTOBER 1988

It’s a third week at the top for the Pet Shop Boys with Domino Dancing, albeit with a drastically reduced margin, after their record-breaking lead as chart-toppers last week.



Erasure break down the gap between the two acts as A Little Respect surges to number two to become their highest charting single to date.

Bon Jovi’s challenge for a third number one is over as Bad Medicine dips to number three and Whitney Houston is stranded at number four with One Moment In Time.

Kim Wilde follows up her recent record-breaking number one, You Came, with Never Trust A Stranger, climbing ten places to number five.

There’s a huge 26 place climb for the Wee Papa Girl Rappers as Wee Rule jumps to number 11, easily beating the number 19 peak of their previous single, Heat It Up.

Highest new entry sees the return of T’Pau as Secret Garden debuts at number 19.

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

16th October 1988

It's 3 weeks on top for Love Is All That Matters as US biggie Information Society's What's On Your Mind leaps up to 2 to challenge for the top spot along with Michelle-Shocked's wonderful Anchorage. U2 add another top 10 to the growing list as Desire is up 6, while highest new entry is a remix (yet another) of a 70's classic, the Four Seasons December '63, at 18 12 years since topping my chart. The Christians get a 4th year of top 20's following The Isley Brothers 1976 Harvest For The World into the upper tier.

Milli Vanilli debut at 22 with Girl You Know It's True. I say Milli Vanilli - it's actually Frank "Boney M" Farian & session singers. As he'd gotten away with singing the Boney M male parts himself, and had a dancer lipsynch them on stage, he had form with the concept. It all ended tragically with suicide, as Americans weren't as accepting of the well-established European concept of hiring good-looking people to mime along to better singers. Which all sours any enjoyment for the pop song these days.

Kylie leaps 30 places to 33, I don't know why? Robbie Robertson follows-up his stroll down the lazy river with a fallen angel, Yazz follows the only way is up by standing up for her love rights - you go girl! - and Diana Ross pops in with one I'd forgotten, Mr Lee, giving her 20 years of chart entries. Ditto Stevie Wonder, with one I still don't remember, and finally it's a debut for that very very irritating big hit We call It ACIIEEEEEEEED, from D Mob. I expect they meant to use an apostrophe to make it make sense, as 'NSync did, as in here's a hit from de mob, but punctuation clearly not a thing. Not that that made any difference to UK radio in the case of "In Sync", a clever play on the musical and social meaning, which became a meaningless En Sync to most people. Still annoys me that.
