HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 23rd OCTOBER 1988

Erasure hold on to the top spot for a third week with A Little Respect. Registering a drop in points, they still manage a 23 point margin over their nearest rivals as they open up the biggest gap at the top in their three week tenure at number one.




We have joint runners-up this week, with the silver medal being shared between Deacon Blue and Kim Wilde.

Deacon Blue manage to nudge Real Gone Kid up another place as it edges closer to the top spot, while Kim Wilde remains stranded at number two for a third week with Never Trust a Stranger.

Kylie Minogue bags her third Top Five hit of the year as Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi climbs to number four, just ahead of Orinoco Flow by Enya, the current Official Chart number one.

Heart are the biggest of a number of significant climbers on this week’s chart as Nothin’ At All jumps 20 places to number 20.

Super-group The Travelling Wilburys are this week’s highest new entry at number 21 with Handle With Care.

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

[Earl Purple]

The Erasure song was my time machine song for 1988. In spite of my winning the 80s series and my luck of years ending in 8 and the popularity of the song, it finished only 6th, albeit the top 6 were all very close. Someone else entered the Guns N Roses song and it came 2nd. I had considered that of course but felt "heavy rock" was likely to do worse... as for the winning song - well that's nowhere in the retro charts, it probably won't be until 1990, the year everyone assumes is the one for the La's "There She Goes".

Anyway, here is my chart:


1(1) Deacon Blue - Real Gone Kid (2nd week at #1)[/b]
2(4) Tanita Tikaram - Twist In My Sobriety
3(2) Erasure - A Little Respect
4(3) Enya - Orinoco Flow
5(5) Art Of Noise ft Tom Jones - Kiss

6(8) Robert Palmer - She Makes My Day
7(10) Beach Boys - Kokomo
8(11) Guns N Roses - Welcome To The Jungle
9(-) George Michael - Kissing A Fool

6th November 1988

It's 2 weeks on top for my American edition single of Information Society's What's On Your Mind, holding off Enya from the top spot - doh! Tanita Tikarim gets that top 10 with her society getting twisted in the process, as Prince shoots up to 8 with I Wish U Heaven, the 2nd from the album to do that. The Four Seasons replace themselves in the top 10 with another classic oldie as Big Girls Don't Cry gives Frankie & the lads a 4th or 5th, though loads more covers have done it. INXS's brilliant Need You Tonight finally goes top 10 too, a year on since peaking just short.

Straight in at 16 it's The Beach Boys last big worldwide hit, Kokomo, giving them 20 years of top 20's in my charts, as Al Green climbs to 20 with Annie Lennox, making it 16 years of top 20's for him, and 9 for her since debuting with The Tourists. Dire Straits are back with Sultans Of Swing 9 years on, which peaked at 2 in 1979 prior to their taking over the world with Brothers In Arms. Mica Paris is breathing life into me, new at 34, and Bucks Fizz debut with Heart Of Stone at 39, a great rock ballad that Cher covered a year later. Mysteriously flopping, it keeps up the quality pop regardless of sales dropping off since New Beginnings, which ironically wasn't. 30 years on and 3 of original line-up got a proper new beginning as The Fizz, still making great pop.

Voice Of The Beehive exclaim I Walk The Earth, at 49, a track that charts twice, and The Proclaimers bring Sunshine On Leith into the charts, at 61. It's a toss-up between this gorgeous one and Letter From America as their greatest record. 500 Miles is nowhere close, either time it was a hit. Brother Beyond follow-up with a similar, if lesser, He Ain't No Competition; Bananarama cover Nathan Jones - I mean full marks for good taste, I adore The Supremes original too, but it's not in the same class as even their own recent tracks. Randy Newman pops in with one of his "once in a blue moon" entries, but his songs venture where he usually doesn't, starting with his fab Simon Smith & His Amazing Dancing Bear, a kiddie fave of mine by Alan Price.

All About Eve ask What Kind Of Fool, presumably dedicated to how they felt after the miming incident, Steve Earle's Copperhead Road gets a little traffic at 75, and a bonus entry at 76 from George Michael who's Hand To Mouth should have been a single in 1988, a fantastic album track from Faith, topping my playlist that week, but not able to qualify for my chart, so I've retrospectively given George an extra "hit" at 76. It probably would have been at number one though, had I allowed album tracks.
