Haven Combi Retro-Chart W/B 29th January 1989

HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 29th JANUARY 1989

It’s a second week at the top for Marc Almond and Gene Pitney with Something’s Gotten Hold Of My Heart. It’s top on four individual charts this week and Top Ten on eight charts overall, but not picking up any points from four charts has contributed to a premature dip in points.



Roy Orbison remains stuck at number two with You Got It, but like the current chart-topper is already in decline.

Holly Johnson continues to advance as Love Train moves up a place to number three.

Robert Howard and Kym Mazelle climb to number four with Wait as Mike and The Mechanics move up to number five with The Living Years.

There’s a huge 25 place climb for Then Jerico as Big Area moves up to number 15 to become this week’s biggest climber.

Highest new entry sees the return of Hue and Cry with Looking For Linda.

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

[popchartfreak]

5th FEB 1989

Big jump for Joe’s girl Sam Brown, a brilliant soulful performance of a great song that had charted in my 1988 charts but not been a UK hit until 1989. Fabulous, and also the same tale for Gloria Estefan straight in at 7 with a more laidback ballad after finally making the UK charts. The Top 10 full of activity as teen American dance pop act Tracie Spencer hits 2, Ten City dance to 5, Raze glide to 6 with the sultry and gorgeous Break 4 Love dance rhythms, and Bryan Ferry takes the Everley Brothers song into the Top 10 for a second time, 13 years on.

Significant new entries from Texas, debuting with their classic twangy-rock classic I Don’t Want A Lover, Jesus Jones sneaking in with the fabulously distorted debut Info Freako, Edie Brickell pops in with the well-known future Emma Bunton hit, What I Am, XTC are back for a 10th year of hits, and Lynyrd Skynyrd come back again with Freebird, hippie rock anthem. Milli Vanilli enter at 75 for one week. I think I over-rated it.
