HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 30th OCTOBER 1988

Deacon Blue grab a second number one as Real Gone Kid moves up a place to top the chart. Their previous chart-topper, Dignity, was number one for a week in January, but had to split the glory with Taylor Dayne’s Tell It To My Heart.






Enya is still number one on the Official Chart and climbs to number two on the Retro-Chart with Orinoco Flow.

Kylie Minogue moves up to number three with Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi, matching her previous best with Got To Be Certain.

Singer-songwriter Tanita Tikaram is having a great 1988. Her debut single Good Tradition peaked at number six earlier this year. She beats that peak with latest single, Twist In My Sobriety, which climbs to number four.

Robert Palmer is back in the Top Five after a two year absence. Addicted To Love peaked at number four in 1986. He’s closing in on that with She Makes My Day, up to number five this week.

Highest new entry is from Bryan Ferry with the ’88 remix of Let’s Stick Together, straight in at number 18.

Biggest climb is from Yazz, with the follow-up to her number one song The Only Way Is Up, as Stand Up For Your Love Rights climbs 18 places to number 8

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

Can't say I'm especially excited about the charts towards the end of 1988.

This is OK, but now sounds terribly dated:-

They weren't "cool" anymore so this only reached #31 in the UK chart. Stock Aitken Waterman were involved in the production side but did not write this track.

13th November 1988

It's a second number one for Prince off Lovesexy as the fab I Wish U Heaven follows Alphabet Street to the top spot, though I'm still p*ssed off I have to fast forward the album for 5 or 10 minutes to hear the track whenever I want to play it due to Prince's infuriating fan-p*ssing-off insistence of having no separate tracks on the CD, just one long one. And then he makes himself an artistic liar by releasing singles off the album and making his whole argument a falsehood. No wonder everyone stopped buying his stuff in the 90's after some more p*ssing-off-fans-incidents. I know I stopped forever around the time of Symbol.

New in at 2, it's dance remix of Downtown. I kid you not, the 60's pop classic gets Pet Clark a hit - it would have topped my theoretical charts when I was 7 years old anyway, as I loved it as a kid, and Pet had a deserved chart-topper in the 2010's with the fab Cut Copy. Deacon Blue get a top 10 at last. They'd get another one, like Petula, in the 2010's with The Hipsters. George Michael's latest single from Faith is in at 15, Kissing A Fool, and Michael Jackson's latest dive into Bad is in ay 18, and the rhythmic Smooth Criminal, the video being way better than the godawful film it came from, Moonwalker.

Best of all, it's a brand new Trevor-Horn-produced sprawling epic from Pet Shop Boys, the wonderful Left To My Own Devices getting a low-ish entry at 33, as it hasn't the advantage of being played for months or familiar oldie of the higher entries. Kim Wilde is a Four-Letter-Word in 1988 as she racks up another gem of a single off Close, at 39, as the biggest climber into the top 40 is The Proclaimers gorgeous Sunshine On Leith. Elton John has A Word In Spanish - Ola Guapo presumably - as 30's standard Minnie The Moocher gets the reggae treatment a bit lower down. Barbra Streisand stages a comeback 17 years on from Stoney End, dragging along Miami Vice's Don Johnson (not that he needs encouragement to rock, crooning maybe not so much), and Phil Collins terrific Motown-pastiche Two Hearts debuts at 75, the latest Buster offcut.

I will never forgive Petula Clark's record company for re-issuing 'Downtown' when a new song with that name was battling to go into the top 40, its hard to imagine in this era but people were buying the wrong song!

Not joking I had arguments at school, people were raving about the new Petula Clark remix with the piano hook and I was screaming that's not Petula Clark they are One 2 Many!!!
