HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 1st JANUARY 1989

Not much change at the top in the first new chart of the year, however Neneh Cherry hangs on to the top spot for a second week in style as Buffalo Stance smashes the record previously held by Kim Wilde for most points by a solo artist. Picking up points from all fourteen charts, Neneh Cherry retains the number one spot with an impressive 228 points, the highest weekly total since the Pet Shop Boys scored 231 points with Always On My Mind twelve months ago.



Erasure refuse to budge from the Top Three as Stop! stops its descent by holding steady at number two. With a score of 186 points, in most weeks this would have been enough to secure another week at number one.

Freiheit also remain stuck at number three with Keeping The Dream Alive as Boy Meets Girl edge slowly up the chart with Waiting For A Star To Fall up to number four. The high scores continue with both of these records generating significant points totals.

Biggest climb is from the Fine Young Cannibals as She Drives Me Crazy leaps twenty places to number 11.

Highest new entry is from Duran Duran as All She Wants Is enters at number 18.

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

8th JAN 1989

2nd week for Kim on top, Fleetwood Mac go back up and the late Roy Orbison gets a Top 10, incredibly his first since I started my charts. Certainly not his last, though, even though he died a few weeks earlier. Yello shoot up into the 20 with one of their characteristically quirky EDM singles (as they would call it these days), while CSN&Y join them. They all also had enjoyed solo hits and various combinations thereof, and scored hits as parts of bands like The Hollies.

Highest new entry the forgotten Brother Beyond hit Be My Twin, just ahead of Marc Almond’s well-remembered cover of (and duet with) Gene Pitney. I loved the original, this version wasn’t bad. A lack of new singles equals lots of re-entries including the fab Proclaimers minor hit, and American hit The Flame from returning band Cheap Trick 10 years on from their first hit I Want You To Want Me.

1 ( 1 ) FOUR LETTER WORD Kim Wilde
2 ( 3 ) ESPECIALLY FOR YOU Kylie Minogue & Jason Donovan
3 ( 24 ) AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW Fleetwood Mac
4 ( 2 ) KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE Freiheit
5 ( 14 ) WAITING FOR A STAR TO FALL Boy Meets Girl
6 ( 9 ) SMOOTH CRIMINAL Michael Jackson
