Kingmaker - Sleepwalking
Reached their favourite UK peak position of 15, the same as "Ten Years Asleep" as well as "Eat Yourself Whole" the previous year but they never peaked higher or got the recognition, maybe because they peaked before Britpop really took off, and are not normally considered among Britpop acts.

A few that should be higher, but particularly "This Is How It Feels", one of the singles of the year. It was out the same week though as "Birdhouse In Your Soul" which was another classic of the year.
A lot of the best songs were out around those weeks.
Not enough appreciation on here for "Still Got The Blues For You". I didn't expect it to be that big on here though. Not enough appreciation by the UK public either, unfortunately. But I bought it.

I have my playlist already run into 1991 and I'm now skipping songs that came out previously so "Blue Hotel" by Chris Isaak is supposed to now chart in 1987 wyen it spent its one week at #100.
The issue though is with "Sit Down" by James, for which the 1991 version was a totally new version, but was also massive in my chart. I guess it can be massive again as it's a different version to the one that came out in 1989.

Looking at the points totals when they were number one I think "Enjoy The Silence" may end as the year's #1. In my chart it reached #2, one of many of Depeche Mode's singles to peak at that position. Their only NM #1 was way back in 1982 with "See You".

UK #1s in my chart:
Hangin' Tough: #36 in 1989 Tears On My Pillow: #15. However Kylie's other two hits reached #3 and #6 respectively. Nothing Compares 2 U: #1 Dub Be Good To Me: #29 The Power: #6 Vogue: #3 Killer: #1 World In Motion: #2 Sacrifice: #9 in 1989, Healing Hands: #11 in 1989 Turtle Power: #14 Itsy Witsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini: #21 The Joker: #1 in 1973. One for next year's other retro chart Show Me Heaven: #1 A Little Time: #1 Unchained Melody: #26 in 1965 Ice Ice Baby: #15 Saviour's Day: #22 in the final chart.

I do wonder why, in spite of the fact it's quite a popular Christmas song, the Waitresses "Christmas Wrapping" isn't one of the songs that continually recharts and has never got higher than its initial #45 peak. It came close in 2018 reaching #46 and this year doesn't show up at all.

-- ( -- ) Always On My Mind - Willie Nelson -- ( -- ) You Got The Power - War -- ( -- ) I'm Your Toy - Elvis Costello
Oh yeah, this bunch of songs. So "Fantastic Day" is a good follow-up to "Love Plus One" but not going to get to the top. And "Promised You A Miracle" is really the first Simple Minds song I remember.
"Ebony And Ivory" was constantly on the radio, Paul McCartney back and with Stevie Wonder on the song but it was also made clear they didn't meet for the video. At the time it didn't get the derision it did later on. Or at least nobody I knew appeared to hate it. And of course he's part of 2 entries in this chart, that Beatles Movie Medley... And while we're at it, let's have a Rolling Stones entry too.
Going past that Junior song we then get the England World Cup Squad and the UK Eurovision entry. In both cases the Germans did better although they drew 0-0 against England and would have gone out had England beaten Spain by 2 goals but England drew blanks against Spain who were already eliminated but were the host nation.
Really Saying Something was recorded by the Velvelettes in 1964 but didn't reach the US top 40 so wasn't an NM hit either.
David Bowie, how do you put out fires with gasoline, gasoline would make the fire burn more? And if this is in the chart, Body Language by Queen must be round the corner. (It's on my next playlist).

I reckon that as it's on points the number one of the year in my chart was clearly "Still Got The Blues For You" by Gary Moore. Also helped by the fact "Freedom '90" by George Michael is still in the chart at the end without enough time to catch up.
George Michael had another number one in the year so may end up as top act.
In the Haven chart of the year I think "It Must Have Been Love" by Roxette could be at the top.

I'd rank France above England. Ok I know in the last Euros they lost in the last 16 round and we reached the final, so we have a runner-up and quarter-final and they have a runner-up and last-16. We're way above Belgium now though, they're football has-beens.

So 3 April 1982. Well I was just seventeen, you know what that means, and the way I looked was way beyond compare.. Ok the last statement there isn't true...
Shabbat Hagadol this year, that means Pesach is just about to start and it will be Wednesday night first Seder.
Argentina has just invaded the Falkland Islands. Of course they won the most recent World Cup which they also hosted and the musical "Evita" was just 5 years ago, and Ossie Ardiles and Ricardo Villa play for Spurs and one of them was subject of the cup final hit last year whilst the other one scored the winning goal. But for me at that time, that is the extent of what I know about Argentina. Two women from that country though, significantly one 20 years old at this time, and less significantly (but in my life now) one who wasn't yet born.
On the subject of Spurs, they won the FA Cup semi-final against Leicester 2-0 so the current artist at #1 will be writing another cup final song. Actually it's on my next playlist. They'll be playing Queens Park Rangers in the final who beat West Brom 1-0, and the latter are in the 2nd division but so were West Ham in 1980 and they beat Arsenal so there's no guarantees. Not to mention Southampton in 1976 and Sunderland in 1973. The sporting winners topic will be posted after the last chart of June, so it usually includes some F.A Cup final highlights. Not sure if the 1982 final actually had any.

Bogged down with "Time Machine" rounds, Xmasvision, work, writing up album top 10s... Ok it took a while to score this playlist up, but finally done and also rolled.
So what's next? It's the instrumental break. Great Cliff, which instruments would you like us to break? Ok... seriously, there are some vocal songs with such amazing instrumental breaks, and this is one of them. It comes around 2 minutes into the song.
(I'm going to now list a few other songs with fantastic instrumental breaks. "My Sharona" by the Knack. "Street Life" by the Crusaders when you can actually find that version. "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N Roses. And then "End Of The Line" by Mohair, not that people on Haven appeared to appreciate that song at all.
So PhD were 3 members with those initials and nobody remembers who the P and the H were (ok you can google them) but everyone remembers the D was Jim Diamond, probably because he had a solo #1 in the UK 2 years later.
The smooth Roxy Music sound returns, after their cover of "Jealous Guy" last year this is the first single from the "Avalon" album.

The vote was to not include lower-league fixtures while the World Cup was happening then that changed. I did predict of course - was joint bottom of those who predicted but gives me a 209 point advantage of those who missed it. I voted to keep having lower-league fixtures throughout but was outvoted.
In any case, it's just a game. Let's predict and hope.
A6 Brentford v Tottenham Hotspur (12.30) H3 Crystal Palace v Fulham H4 Everton v Wolverhampton Wanderers D2 Leicester City v Newcastle United A5 Southampton v Brighton & Hove Albion A8 Aston Villa v Liverpool H9 Arsenal v West Ham United D1 Middlesbrough v Wigan Athletic H7 Chelsea v AFC Bournemouth (Sunday) H10 Manchester United v Nottingham Forest (Sunday)
Maybe Brighton can improve after losing in the league cup to a struggling team that just lost in the FA Cup to Stockport and home league games against Cheltenham and Bristol Rovers.
