QUOTE(Bjork @ Sep 5 2019, 02:18 PM)  hahaha no no it was the Dirty Dancing song it was an unexpe3cted music selection cos most cafes here in Denmark are very hipster and basically only play Bon Iver on a loop I was in Copenhagen in 2017, sadly it was only 4 days tourist spots and there wasn't much time to explore any cafes trying to entice me in with Bon Iver  (they would have had more luck with 1987 pop, though)

pretty sure Bon Iver can make a living only out of the royalties from his songs being played in Danish cafes

1st September 1987
It's 5 weeks on top for the unstoppable Pet Shop Boys & Dusty, as Rick Astley climbs to 3, Prince to 7, Elvis brings If I Can Dream back into the top 10 18 years on, and Dionne Warwick gets her 2nd top 10 - she would have had loads more if I'd charted earlier though. Highest new entry is the gorgeous Little Lies, Christine McVie's best song from Fleetwood Mac's Tango In The Night, in at 35. In a couple of weeks I'd watch the rural video in a Californian coastal motel as I drifted into a daze after accidentally taking one of my mum's sleeping pills instead of aspirin. That ruined the next day as I largely felt icky and didn't appreciate the stunning coastal scenery between San Fransisco and Malibu. Moral: read the packaging. Chris Rea returns, The Housemartins make it 3 in a row, Carly Simon follows-up her comeback hit, Mick Jagger gets another solo entry 2 years after the last ones, Bon Jovi roll on, Five Star start to lose the spark, and Natalie Cole jumps back into the rundown 12 years on since she debuted - with her late dad due to debut himself by Christmas! 1 ( 1 ) WHAT HAVE I DONE (TO DESERVE THIS) Pet Shop Boys & Dusty Springfield 2 ( 2 ) SUGAR SUGAR (CANDYFLOSS MIX)/(ORIGINAL VERSION) The Archies 3 ( 5 ) NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP Rick Astley 4 ( 6 ) HEART AND SOUL T’Pau 5 ( 4 ) BRIDGE TO YOUR HEART Wax 6 ( 3 ) I JUST CAN’T STOP LOVING YOU Michael Jackson featuring Siedah Garrett 7 ( 10 ) U GOT THE LOOK Prince featuring Sheena Easton 8 ( 8 ) I HEARD A RUMOUR Bananarama 9 ( 18 ) IF I CAN DREAM/ LOVE ME TENDER Elvis Presley 10 ( 13 ) LOVE POWER Dionne Warwick & Jeffrey Osbourne 11 ( 7 ) TRUE FAITH New Order 12 ( 17 ) NEVER LET ME DOWN David Bowie 13 ( 19 ) WIPEOUT The Fat Boys & The Beach Boys 14 ( 24 ) WONDERFUL LIFE Black 15 ( 9 ) IF THERE WAS A MAN Pretenders For 007 16 ( 16 ) THE MOTIVE Then Jericho 17 ( 12 ) ALONE Heart 18 ( 27 ) HEY MATTHEW Karel Fialka 19 ( 14 ) SPY IN THE HOUSE OF LOVE Was (Not Was) 20 ( 23 ) LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING Climie Fisher 21 ( 11 ) ANIMAL Def Leppard 22 ( 28 ) WHAT TIME IS IT The Kane Gang 23 ( 33 ) CRAZY Icehouse 24 ( 21 ) PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE (REMIX) The Temptations 25 ( 30 ) HAPPY WHEN IT RAINS Jesus & Mary Chain 26 ( 20 ) WHO’S THAT GIRL Madonna 27 ( 35 ) PAPER IN FIRE John Cougar Mellencamp 28 ( 40 ) I NEED LOVE LL Cool J 29 ( 22 ) GIRLFRIEND IN A COMA The Smiths 30 ( 15 ) ROADBLOCK Stock Aitken & Waterman 31 ( 39 ) I’M IN IT FOR LOVE Donny Osmond 32 ( 38 ) SWEET LITTLE MYSTERY Wet Wet Wet 33 ( 25 ) ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE The Beatles 34 ( 29 ) IT’S A SIN Pet Shop Boys 35 ( NEW ) LITTLE LIES Fleetwood Mac 36 ( 32 ) SAY YOU REALLY WANT ME Kim Wilde 37 ( 44 ) HOURGLASS Squeeze 38 ( 34 ) I STILL HAVEN’T FOUND WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR U2 39 ( 75 ) THE NIGHT YOU MURDERED LOVE ABC 40 ( 43 ) ONLY IN MY DREAMS Debbie Gibson 41 ( 46 ) WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME U2 42 ( 37 ) HIGHER AND HIGHER (YOUR LOVE KEEPS LIFTING ME) Jackie Wilson 43 ( 36 ) JIVE TALKING Boogie Box High 44 ( 72 ) TOY BOY Sinitta 45 ( 49 ) JUST CALL Sherrick 46 ( 31 ) CHANGE David Grant 47 ( NEW ) LOVING YOU AGAIN Chris Rea 48 ( RE ) MAKING LOVE IN THE RAIN Herb Alpert featuring Lisa Keith 49 ( 70 ) SOME PEOPLE Cliff Richard 50 ( 52 ) SEATTLE Public Image Ltd 51 ( 42 ) FUNKYTOWN Pseudo Echo 52 ( 51 ) IT’S NOT UNUSUAL Tom Jones 53 ( 41 ) SOLD Boy George 54 ( 53 ) MY BOY LOLLIPOP Millie 55 ( 48 ) MARY’S PRAYER Danny Wilson 56 ( 45 ) THE RHYTHM DIVINE Yello featuring Shirley Bassey 57 ( 61 ) HUMAN Human League 58 ( 68 ) DOING IT ALL FOR MY BABY Huey Lewis & The News 59 ( 63 ) DIAMONDS Herb Alpert featuring Janet Jackson 60 ( 54 ) SWEETEST SMILE Black 61 ( 26 ) DEAR GOD XTC 62 ( 66 ) I GET THE SWEETEST FEELING Jackie Wilson 63 ( 69 ) THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE Janet Jackson 64 ( 64 ) A DIFFERENT CORNER George Michael 65 ( NEW ) ME AND THE FARMER The Housemartins 66 ( 62 ) GET IT ON (’87 REMIX) T.Rex 67 ( 67 ) TIME WILL CRAWL David Bowie 68 ( NEW ) LIES Jonathan Butler 69 ( NEW ) THE STUFF THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF Carly Simon 70 ( 73 ) PENNY LANE/STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER The Beatles 71 ( 55 ) YOY BOYZ MAKE BIG NOIZE Slade 72 ( NEW ) LET’S WORK Mick Jagger 73 ( NEW ) NEVER SAY GOODBYE Bon Jovi 74 ( NEW ) WHENEVER YOU’RE READY Five Star 75 ( NEW ) JUMP START Natalie Cole 1st Sept PLAYIST OLDIES 1 LOVE IS ALL THAT MATTERS The Human League 2 IF IT WASN’T FOR THE REASON THAT I LOVED YOU Miki Anthony 3 THIRD FINGER LEFT HAND The Pearls |

Tango in the Night had one of the most bizarre chart run for singles in the uk:
hit - flop - hit - flop - hit don't think I've ever seen another album in the last 30 years doing such pattern in singles |

Stevie's songs around this time weren't as good as her solo stuff (she saved the best for herself I'd guess) while Christine was always very easy-going and prob went along with whatever to keep everyone happy - even when it was obvious she was writing the most-commercial songs! |

8th September 1987
It's a first week on top for the 1987 12" remix of the 1969 and 1970 chart-topper from The Archies, Sugar Sugar thus grabbing the record for oldest number one to return to the top - for now. Black make it two top 10's in a row with the sublime Wonderful Life up 6, and Cliff rockets into the top 10 19 years into his chart career, Some People being one of his rather good cool pop tracks as opposed to one of his "oh dear, not weathered-well, that one" tracks. Bowie makes it 2 top 10's in a row from his latest LP, and The Beach Boys extend their run of top 10's to 19 years to the week. Highest new entry is The Bee Gees going Depeche techno, and an abrupt change in sound with the fab You Win Again in at 12 19 years to the week since they also appeared in my first-ever chart. Second highest new entry is also a future UK chart-topper, the fab innovative M/A/R/R/S and Pump Up The Volume at 35, sampling gone mad and the sound of dance future. Little Lies leaps up 20 for Fleetwood Mac, the third top 20 off Tango In The Night, as John Cougar gets his 3rd top 20 in total. Shaky is in at 40 with a good Supremes cover, Johnny Hates Jazz heroically follow-up at 43, and Madonna's quality-control dips a bit with Causing A Commotion at 49. Levert at 53, debuting 15 years after The O'Jays were Backstabbing on top of my charts: Lead singer Eddie Levert was dad to two of the band. Thus joining the likes of John & Julian Lennon in trailblazing dads and sons independently in my charts. Cheryl Baker is the 2nd Bucks-Fizz solo charter, with the 1969 Amen Corner chart-topper, and 8 years on from her debut as part of UK Eurovision entrants Coco in those Bad Old Days. The Communards return, Wendy & Lisa ditto, and sneaking in is the lead track on the brand new album from Michael Jackson - a little ditty called Bad: It would actually have been much higher, but I didn't allow album tracks in or else this week most of the album (which I bought on vinyl) would have charted, followed next week by another new album clogging up the charts and kicking out at least 15 other records. So I've retrospectively given it a number 76, as these days I DO allow album tracks as I should have then. On the grounds that by the time album tracks became singles I'd often long-peaked over them. 1 ( 2 ) SUGAR SUGAR (CANDYFLOSS MIX)/(ORIGINAL VERSION) The Archies 2 ( 1 ) WHAT HAVE I DONE (TO DESERVE THIS) Pet Shop Boys & Dusty Springfield 3 ( 4 ) HEART AND SOUL T’Pau 4 ( 3 ) NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP Rick Astley 5 ( 5 ) BRIDGE TO YOUR HEART Wax 6 ( 14 ) WONDERFUL LIFE Black 7 ( 7 ) U GOT THE LOOK Prince featuring Sheena Easton 8 ( 49 ) SOME PEOPLE Cliff Richard 9 ( 12 ) NEVER LET ME DOWN David Bowie 10 ( 13 ) WIPEOUT The Fat Boys & The Beach Boys 11 ( 6 ) I JUST CAN’T STOP LOVING YOU Michael Jackson featuring Siedah Garrett 12 ( NEW ) YOU WIN AGAIN The Bee Gees 13 ( 20 ) LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING Climie Fisher 14 ( 18 ) HEY MATTHEW Karel Fialka 15 ( 35 ) LITTLE LIES Fleetwood Mac 16 ( 16 ) THE MOTIVE Then Jericho 17 ( 8 ) I HEARD A RUMOUR Bananarama 18 ( 10 ) LOVE POWER Dionne Warwick & Jeffrey Osbourne 19 ( 22 ) WHAT TIME IS IT The Kane Gang 20 ( 27 ) PAPER IN FIRE John Cougar Mellencamp 21 ( 17 ) ALONE Heart 22 ( 28 ) I NEED LOVE LL Cool J 23 ( 15 ) IF THERE WAS A MAN Pretenders For 007 24 ( 9 ) IF I CAN DREAM/ LOVE ME TENDER Elvis Presley 25 ( 11 ) TRUE FAITH New Order 26 ( 24 ) PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE (REMIX) The Temptations 27 ( 21 ) ANIMAL Def Leppard 28 ( 39 ) THE NIGHT YOU MURDERED LOVE ABC 29 ( 19 ) SPY IN THE HOUSE OF LOVE Was (Not Was) 30 ( 37 ) HOURGLASS Squeeze 31 ( 32 ) SWEET LITTLE MYSTERY Wet Wet Wet 32 ( 26 ) WHO’S THAT GIRL Madonna 33 ( 47 ) LOVING YOU AGAIN Chris Rea 34 ( 34 ) IT’S A SIN Pet Shop Boys 35 ( NEW ) PUMP UP THE VOLUME M/A/R/R/S 36 ( 72 ) LET’S WORK Mick Jagger 37 ( 40 ) ONLY IN MY DREAMS Debbie Gibson 38 ( 50 ) SEATTLE Public Image Ltd 39 ( 33 ) ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE The Beatles 40 ( NEW ) COME SEE ABOUT ME Shakin’ Stevens 41 ( 41 ) WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME U2 42 ( 38 ) I STILL HAVEN’T FOUND WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR U2 43 ( NEW ) I DON’T WANT TO BE A HERO Johnny Hates Jazz 44 ( 44 ) TOY BOY Sinitta 45 ( 30 ) ROADBLOCK Stock Aitken & waterman 46 ( 25 ) HAPPY WHEN IT RAINS Jesus & Mary Chain 47 ( 42 ) HIGHER AND HIGHER (YOUR LOVE KEEPS LIFTING ME) Jackie Wilson 48 ( 58 ) DOING IT ALL FOR MY BABY Huey Lewis & The News 49 ( NEW ) CAUSING A COMMOTION Madonna 50 ( 65 ) ME AND THE FARMER The Housemartins 51 ( 48 ) MAKING LOVE IN THE RAIN Herb Alpert featuring Lisa Keith 52 ( 23 ) CRAZY Icehouse 53 ( NEW ) CASANOVA Levert 54 ( 52 ) IT’S NOT UNUSUAL Tom Jones 55 ( 69 ) THE STUFF THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF Carly Simon 56 ( 43 ) JIVE TALKING Boogie Box High 57 ( 29 ) GIRLFRIEND IN A COMA The Smiths 58 ( 36 ) SAY YOU REALLY WANT ME Kim Wilde 59 ( 57 ) HUMAN Human League 60 ( 31 ) I’M IN IT FOR LOVE Donny Osmond 61 ( 55 ) MARY’S PRAYER Danny Wilson 62 ( 54 ) MY BOY LOLLIPOP Millie 63 ( 62 ) I GET THE SWEETEST FEELING Jackie Wilson 64 ( 59 ) DIAMONDS Herb Alpert featuring Janet Jackson 65 ( 64 ) A DIFFERENT CORNER George Michael 66 ( NEW ) STUCK ON YOU Dee Lewis 67 ( 68 ) LIES Jonathan Butler 68 ( 51 ) FUNKYTOWN Pseudo Echo 69 ( 53 ) SOLD Boy George 70 ( NEW ) HALF AS NICE Cheryl Baker 71 ( 45 ) JUST CALL Sherrick 72 ( 75 ) JUMP START Natalie Cole 73 ( 70 ) PENNY LANE/STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER The Beatles 74 ( NEW ) TOMORROW The Communards 75 ( NEW ) WATERFALL Wendy and Lisa 76 ( NEW ) BAD Michael Jackson Playlist oldies and album tracks of that week 1 BAD Michael Jackson 2 I BELIEVE (IN LOVE) Hot Chocolate 3 LONELY DAYS The Bee Gees |

great for Wonderful Life, such a lost classic
from the newies my favourite has to be the new Johnny Hates Jazz, bought it on single back in the day, great track loved all those late 80s UK bands that mixed pop with a bit of soul and a bit of jazz like Sade, Swing Out Sister, Black, Johnny Hates Jazz, nobody seems to be doing that kinda mix of music anymore I also have a soft spot for Causin' a commotion, sure not on the same league as the True Blue singles or Who's that Girl but a good little pop song |

Same with Johnny Hates Jazz. Talking of Swing Out Sister, you read my mind - check out the chart below! Thanks for the comments, maybe Madonna also got overshadowed by what I was hearing on US radio... |

15th September 1987
It's a second week on top for the Archies, presiding over my second flight to California - this time with my parents who had never been, but always wanted to go. I just managed to catch the new chart rundown before leaving, so there are some UK new entries - but there's an invasion of stuff I heard on radio stations on the car stereo, as well as the new Michael Jackson album which I copied onto cassette to play in the car - I didn't allow album tracks in my charts back then...but the bottom three all would have featured much higher had I not been limited to just listing them for my "playlist" list. So I've retospectively given them a slot. Little Lies climbs fast into the top 3, a big radio hit in the States, and Climie Fisher just sneaks into the top 10, as do The Bee Gees. US radio was amazing back then: stations galore, all with differing records on rotation, DJ's who seemed professional. I just couldnt understand why the UK had so few radio stations, and still can't (outside London). It's almost as if the authorities have a problem with commercial radio... M/A/R/R/S shoot into the 20, and the highest new entry is Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam at 18, big on LA radio with Lost In Emotion. I found the exact same beach-apartment block I stayed in in 1979 with other Uni friends, which was fab - overlooking the Queen Mary. I was in US TV and radio heaven, what with all the classic 60's shows on re-run that I hadn't seen since a kid, stuff like Get Smart, Gilligan's Island and many more. Huey Lewis also benefits from the radio plays, shooting up to 20, Madonna to 22, and Billy Idol enters at 27 with his fab version of Tommy James & The Shondells brilliant 1968 chart-topper Mony Mony: note this is NOT the weaker live version that was pushed in the UK, this was an all-80's-production. The US is some way behind on UK-sourced hits, usually, which means for me a chance to rechart them as they get a new lease of life cruising the highways and byways and sound bigger and fresh again: ABC return with When Smokey Sings at 29, Living In A Box get some 12" action, as do Pepsi & Shirlie's Heartache, both debuting in that format, while Swing Out Sister's Breakout 1986 hit also returns. A hot new track that stiffed in the UK is in at 31 for The Other Ones - Holiday. So appropriate I bought the single, along with Fleetwood Mac's Little Lies, in the USA on vinyl. U2 finally go top 40 where the streets have exotic names, Gary Numan revamps his old car, given a jump start by rising natalie Cole, as the sweet Level 42 It's Over sneaks in as I leave the UK. Starship follow-up the monster hit, and I go to Disneyland, have a ball on rollercoaster Space Mountain and see the 3D state-of-the-art Sci-fi mini-extravaganza Captain Eo aka Michael Jackson's wannabe space hero. Great to look at and featuring a half-familiar-sounding song from his album, and one which hasn't turned up anywhere yet. When he was acting Jacko was embarrassing, when he was singing, fab. I doubt it will be showing anytime this century again, sorry if you missed it! 1 ( 1 ) SUGAR SUGAR (CANDYFLOSS MIX)/(ORIGINAL VERSION) The Archies 2 ( 2 ) WHAT HAVE I DONE (TO DESERVE THIS) Pet Shop Boys & Dusty Springfield 3 ( 15 ) LITTLE LIES Fleetwood Mac 4 ( 3 ) HEART AND SOUL T’Pau 5 ( 4 ) NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP Rick Astley 6 ( 10 ) WIPEOUT The Fat Boys & The Beach Boys 7 ( 8 ) SOME PEOPLE Cliff Richard 8 ( 13 ) LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING Climie Fisher 9 ( 9 ) NEVER LET ME DOWN David Bowie 10 ( 12 ) YOU WIN AGAIN The Bee Gees 11 ( 7 ) U GOT THE LOOK Prince featuring Sheena Easton 12 ( 5 ) BRIDGE TO YOUR HEART Wax 13 ( 6 ) WONDERFUL LIFE Black 14 ( 14 ) HEY MATTHEW Karel Fialka 15 ( 35 ) PUMP UP THE VOLUME M/A/R/R/S 16 ( 11 ) I JUST CAN’T STOP LOVING YOU Michael Jackson featuring Siedah Garrett 17 ( 22 ) I NEED LOVE LL Cool J 18 ( NEW ) LOST IN EMOTION Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam 19 ( 17 ) I HEARD A RUMOUR Bananarama 20 ( 48 ) DOING IT ALL FOR MY BABY Huey Lewis & The News 21 ( 20 ) PAPER IN FIRE John Cougar Mellencamp 22 ( 49 ) CAUSING A COMMOTION Madonna 23 ( 28 ) THE NIGHT YOU MURDERED LOVE ABC 24 ( 16 ) THE MOTIVE Then Jericho 25 ( 18 ) LOVE POWER Dionne Warwick & Jeffrey Osbourne 26 ( 21 ) ALONE Heart 27 ( NEW ) MONY MONY (US SINGLE VERSION) Billy Idol 28 ( 19 ) WHAT TIME IS IT The Kane Gang 29 ( RE ) WHEN SMOKEY SINGS ABC 30 ( 30 ) HOURGLASS Squeeze 31 ( NEW ) HOLIDAY The Other Ones 32 ( 32 ) WHO’S THAT GIRL Madonna 33 ( 41 ) WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME U2 34 ( 34 ) IT’S A SIN Pet Shop Boys 35 ( NEW ) CARS (E REG MODEL) Gary Numan 36 ( 36 ) LET’S WORK Mick Jagger 37 ( 37 ) ONLY IN MY DREAMS Debbie Gibson 38 ( 26 ) PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE (REMIX) The Temptations 39 ( 23 ) IF THERE WAS A MAN Pretenders For 007 40 ( 29 ) SPY IN THE HOUSE OF LOVE Was (Not Was) 41 ( 27 ) ANIMAL Def Leppard 42 ( 43 ) I DON’T WANT TO BE A HERO Johnny Hates Jazz 43 ( 25 ) TRUE FAITH New Order 44 ( 40 ) COME SEE ABOUT ME Shakin’ Stevens 45 ( NEW ) LIVING IN A BOX (12” REMIX) Living In A Box 46 ( 39 ) ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE The Beatles 47 ( NEW ) HEARTACHE (12” REMIX) Pepsi and Shirlie 48 ( 42 ) I STILL HAVEN’T FOUND WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR U2 49 ( 72 ) JUMP START Natalie Cole 50 ( 24 ) IF I CAN DREAM/ LOVE ME TENDER Elvis Presley 51 ( NEW ) BREAKOUT Swing Out Sister 52 ( 53 ) CASANOVA Levert 53 ( 47 ) HIGHER AND HIGHER (YOUR LOVE KEEPS LIFTING ME) Jackie Wilson 54 ( 50 ) ME AND THE FARMER The Housemartins 55 ( 55 ) THE STUFF THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF Carly Simon 56 ( 75 ) WATERFALLS Wendy and Lisa 57 ( 54 ) IT’S NOT UNUSUAL Tom Jones 58 ( 61 ) MARY’S PRAYER Danny Wilson 59 ( 33 ) LOVING YOU AGAIN Chris Rea 60 ( 59 ) HUMAN Human League 61 ( 52 ) CRAZY Icehouse 62 ( 67 ) LIES Jonathan Butler 63 ( 45 ) ROADBLOCK Stock Aitken & waterman 64 ( 66 ) STUCK ON YOU Dee Lewis 65 ( 63 ) I GET THE SWEETEST FEELING Jackie Wilson 66 ( 65 ) A DIFFERENT CORNER George Michael 67 ( 64 ) DIAMONDS Herb Alpert featuring Janet Jackson 68 ( NEW ) IT’S OVER Level 42 69 ( 56 ) JIVE TALKING Boogie Box High 70 ( NEW ) FREE Curiosity Killed The Cat 71 ( 51 ) MAKING LOVE IN THE RAIN Herb Alpert featuring Lisa Keith 72 ( 62 ) MY BOY LOLLIPOP Millie 73 ( NEW ) STOP TO LOVE Luther Vandross 74 ( 73 ) PENNY LANE/STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER The Beatles 75 ( NEW ) IT’S NOT OVER (TILL IT’S OVER) Starship 76 ( NEW ) WE ARE HERE TO CHANGE THE WORLD/ANOTHER PART OF ME (CAPTAIN EO) Michael Jackson 77 ( NEW ) ANOTHER PART OF ME Michael Jackson 78 ( NEW ) MAN IN THE MIRROR Michael Jackson |

22nd September 1987 California/Nevada Chart
It's a third week on top for the 1969 chart-topper that featured on oldies stations as we drove the majestic scenery highways of deserts and Canyons - keeping it hot! This was the week that featured the Ghost Town of Calico, Las Vegas gambling, passing the Flintstones Bedrock en route to the Grand Canyon, still jawdropping if you take time to absorb the scale of it, and Death Valley, superhot and complete with Road Runners in Furnace Creek (beep! beep!). Didn't see any Coyotes though, Wile E or otherwise. Dionne & Jeffrey rocket back up to a new peak of 5 for the fab Love Power, and Michael Jackson's Bad is now officially a single and returns at 4 while his 2 future singles climb just outside the 75 (but would have been way higher). M/A/R/R/S make the top 10, as I had it on cassette tape, and big US hit Holiday climbs to 11. Natalie Cole makes it 12 years of top 40 entries (albeit with little in between) & Curiosity's Misfit is back in the 40 with substantial US radio play, outdoing the weak follow-up at 70. Oldies returning due to airplay chart plugging include Cutting Crew, Go West and Whitney sneaks in where she hadn't been thanks to the sunny blue skies. Even turgid ballads sound better in California. US-only hits include Smokey Robinson, now on 18 years of entries, Expose and the fab Let Me Be The One, the sound of Miami dance-future shortly to inspire the Pet Shop Boys, who make do in the meantime with the track 1 off Actually. I'm still annoyed it wasn't a single: One More Chance was hookily fab. 60's veterans The Grateful Dead debut with Twist Of Grey, having been talked up on Boys Of Summer's Dead-Head Stickers lyric, Jellybean goes top 50 ahead the UK catching on to Who Found Who with Lisa Fiorillo, Crowded House follow-up a chart-topper, Laura Branigan returns a bit shattered 4 years on from Gloria, future UK hit Who Will You Run To brings Heart in a bit early, Bob Seger makes it 9 years of minor hits, and Gloria Estefan makes it 3 years of Doctor Beat-ing, just ahead of her exploding big in the UK as a solo act (but really still exactly the same Miami Sound Machine act). 1 ( 1 ) SUGAR SUGAR (CANDYFLOSS MIX)/(ORIGINAL VERSION) The Archies 2 ( 2 ) WHAT HAVE I DONE (TO DESERVE THIS) Pet Shop Boys & Dusty Springfield 3 ( 3 ) LITTLE LIES Fleetwood Mac 4 ( RE ) BAD Michael Jackson 5 ( 25 ) LOVE POWER Dionne Warwick & Jeffrey Osbourne 6 ( 5 ) NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP Rick Astley 7 ( 7 ) SOME PEOPLE Cliff Richard 8 ( 15 ) PUMP UP THE VOLUME M/A/R/R/S 9 ( 4 ) HEART AND SOUL T’Pau 10 ( 10 ) YOU WIN AGAIN The Bee Gees 11 ( 31 ) HOLIDAY The Other Ones 12 ( 14 ) HEY MATTHEW Karel Fialka 13 ( 19 ) I HEARD A RUMOUR Bananarama 14 ( 17 ) I NEED LOVE LL Cool J 15 ( 6 ) WIPEOUT The Fat Boys & The Beach Boys 16 ( 18 ) LOST IN EMOTION Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam 17 ( 21 ) PAPER IN FIRE John Cougar Mellencamp 18 ( 11 ) U GOT THE LOOK Prince featuring Sheena Easton 19 ( 8 ) LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING Climie Fisher 20 ( 9 ) NEVER LET ME DOWN David Bowie 21 ( 24 ) THE MOTIVE Then Jericho 22 ( 22 ) CAUSING A COMMOTION Madonna 23 ( 13 ) WONDERFUL LIFE Black 24 ( 29 ) WHEN SMOKEY SINGS ABC 25 ( 12 ) BRIDGE TO YOUR HEART Wax 26 ( 16 ) I JUST CAN’T STOP LOVING YOU Michael Jackson featuring Siedah Garrett 27 ( 27 ) MONY MONY (US SINGLE VERSION) Billy Idol 28 ( 23 ) THE NIGHT YOU MURDERED LOVE ABC 29 ( 30 ) HOURGLASS Squeeze 30 ( 20 ) DOING IT ALL FOR MY BABY Huey Lewis & The News 31 ( 26 ) ALONE Heart 32 ( 28 ) WHAT TIME IS IT The Kane Gang 33 ( 49 ) JUMP START Natalie Cole 34 ( RE ) MISFIT Curiosity Killed The Cat 35 ( 35 ) CARS (E REG MODEL) Gary Numan 36 ( 36 ) LET’S WORK Mick Jagger 37 ( 42 ) I DON’T WANT TO BE A HERO Johnny Hates Jazz 38 ( 34 ) IT’S A SIN Pet Shop Boys 39 ( 52 ) CASANOVA Levert 40 ( 32 ) WHO’S THAT GIRL Madonna 41 ( RE ) WHY CAN’T I BE YOU The Cure 42 ( NEW ) I’VE BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE Cutting Crew 43 ( 47 ) HEARTACHE (12” REMIX) Pepsi and Shirlie 44 ( 51 ) BREAKOUT Swing Out Sister 45 ( 33 ) WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME U2 46 ( 55 ) THE STUFF THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF Carly Simon 47 ( 38 ) PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE (REMIX) The Temptations 48 ( 56 ) WATERFALLS Wendy and Lisa 49 ( NEW ) WHO FOUND WHO Jellybean featuring Lisa Fiorillo 50 ( 40 ) SPY IN THE HOUSE OF LOVE Was (Not Was) 51 ( 46 ) ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE The Beatles 52 ( 43 ) TRUE FAITH New Order 53 ( 48 ) I STILL HAVEN’T FOUND WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR U2 54 ( NEW ) DON’T LOOK DOWN Go West 55 ( 39 ) IF THERE WAS A MAN Pretenders For 007 56 ( 53 ) HIGHER AND HIGHER (YOUR LOVE KEEPS LIFTING ME) Jackie Wilson 57 ( NEW ) ONE HEARTBEAT Smokey Robinson 58 ( 44 ) COME SEE ABOUT ME Shakin’ Stevens 59 ( NEW ) LET ME BE THE ONE Expose 60 ( 60 ) HUMAN Human League 61 ( 57 ) IT’S NOT UNUSUAL Tom Jones 62 ( NEW ) TWIST OF GREY The Grateful Dead 63 ( 41 ) ANIMAL Def Leppard 64 ( 68 ) IT’S OVER Level 42 65 ( 65 ) I GET THE SWEETEST FEELING Jackie Wilson 66 ( 66 ) A DIFFERENT CORNER George Michael 67 ( NEW ) BETCHA SAY THAT Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine 68 ( 45 ) LIVING IN A BOX (12” REMIX) Living In A Box 69 ( NEW ) SHATTERED GLASS Laura Branigan 70 ( 70 ) FREE Curiosity Killed The Cat 71 ( NEW ) SOMETHING SO STRONG Crowded House 72 ( NEW ) WHO WILL YOU RUN TO Heart 73 ( 37 ) ONLY IN MY DREAMS Debbie Gibson 74 ( NEW ) SHAKEDOWN Bob Seger 75 ( NEW ) DIDN’T WE ALMOST HAVE IT ALL Whitney Houston 76 ( 77 ) ANOTHER PART OF ME Michael Jackson 77 ( 78 ) MAN IN THE MIRROR Michael Jackson 78 ( NEW ) ONE MORE CHANCE Pet Shop Boys |

29th September 1987
It's a first week on top for the fab Little Lies, and Fleetwood Mac's second chart-topper seven years since the mighty rhythms of Tusk topped my chart, and 19 years since Albatross first charted. Lindsey Buckingham also grabbed an extra one in 1982 with Trouble. Back in the UK after doing San Fransisco Golden Gate & Fisherman's Wharf, Carmel, the coastal drive down to Santa Barbara and Malibu, and then home to an inrush of hot new UK music, so yet more new entries. Gary Numan's 1979 chart-topper as Tubeway Army is back in the top 10 alongside a remixed Cars, ABC's follow-up hits a new peak of 12, as the previous single is back in the 20, and Shaky leaps up to 16 with his Supremes cover, one of his best singles (granted the competition is about a handful at this point). Highest new entry is from Jan Hammer, hot off the TV show ratings hit episode where Don Johnson marries Sheena Easton. I think. The Christians return with yet another great single, at 37, Steve Winwood pops in with Valerie - it wasn't in the same league as Higher Love, but was infinitely better than the annoying cover that topped the 21st century charts as Call On Me. A bit like Kygo isn't anywhere near as good as the original, Whitney or not. Westworld are back with a ballad goodie that sadly under-performed, a novelty movie spin-off from Full Metal Jacket (that made a mini-legend of the late Ronald Lee Ermey) parades in, Bruce Willis gets a third 60's cover, and Was (Not Was) get a second chart entry with the big UK hit Walk The Dinosaur - this owed quite a bit to Sly & The Family Stone's I Wanna Take You Higher. Bananarama also get a second goodie SAW-produced hit, Dusty gets a second shared credit as she helps Richard Carpenter to a first chart entry with new material since sister Karen died in 1983. Finally UB40 cover an old Jackson 5 track at 75. 1 ( 3 ) LITTLE LIES Fleetwood Mac 2 ( 2 ) WHAT HAVE I DONE (TO DESERVE THIS) Pet Shop Boys & Dusty Springfield 3 ( 1 ) SUGAR SUGAR (CANDYFLOSS MIX)/(ORIGINAL VERSION) The Archies 4 ( 4 ) BAD Michael Jackson 5 ( 10 ) YOU WIN AGAIN The Bee Gees 6 ( 8 ) PUMP UP THE VOLUME M/A/R/R/S 7 ( 11 ) HOLIDAY The Other Ones 8 ( 6 ) NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP Rick Astley 9 ( 7 ) SOME PEOPLE Cliff Richard 10 ( 35 ) CARS (E REG MODEL)/ ARE ‘FRIENDS’ ELECTRIC Gary Numan & Tubeway Army 11 ( 12 ) HEY MATTHEW Karel Fialka 12 ( 28 ) THE NIGHT YOU MURDERED LOVE ABC 13 ( 14 ) I NEED LOVE LL Cool J 14 ( 5 ) LOVE POWER Dionne Warwick & Jeffrey Osbourne 15 ( 9 ) HEART AND SOUL T’Pau 16 ( 58 ) COME SEE ABOUT ME Shakin’ Stevens 17 ( 16 ) LOST IN EMOTION Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam 18 ( 22 ) CAUSING A COMMOTION Madonna 19 ( 13 ) I HEARD A RUMOUR Bananarama 20 ( 24 ) WHEN SMOKEY SINGS ABC 21 ( 17 ) PAPER IN FIRE John Cougar Mellencamp 22 ( 18 ) U GOT THE LOOK Prince featuring Sheena Easton 23 ( NEW ) CROCKETT’S THEME Jan Hammer 24 ( 19 ) LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING Climie Fisher 25 ( 15 ) WIPEOUT The Fat Boys & The Beach Boys 26 ( 20 ) NEVER LET ME DOWN David Bowie 27 ( 27 ) MONY MONY (US SINGLE VERSION) Billy Idol 28 ( 37 ) I DON’T WANT TO BE A HERO Johnny Hates Jazz 29 ( 33 ) JUMP START Natalie Cole 30 ( 26 ) I JUST CAN’T STOP LOVING YOU Michael Jackson featuring Siedah Garrett 31 ( 23 ) WONDERFUL LIFE Black 32 ( 25 ) BRIDGE TO YOUR HEART Wax 33 ( 21 ) THE MOTIVE Then Jericho 34 ( 36 ) LET’S WORK Mick Jagger 35 ( 29 ) HOURGLASS Squeeze 36 ( 39 ) CASANOVA Levert 37 ( NEW ) WHEN THE FINGERS POINT The Christians 38 ( 31 ) ALONE Heart 39 ( 46 ) THE STUFF THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF Carly Simon 40 ( 38 ) IT’S A SIN Pet Shop Boys 41 ( NEW ) VALERIE Steve Winwood 42 ( 30 ) DOING IT ALL FOR MY BABY Huey Lewis & The News 43 ( 32 ) WHAT TIME IS IT The Kane Gang 44 ( 40 ) WHO’S THAT GIRL Madonna 45 ( 49 ) WHO FOUND WHO Jellybean featuring Lisa Fiorillo 46 ( 57 ) ONE HEARTBEAT Smokey Robinson 47 ( 47 ) PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE (REMIX) The Temptations 48 ( NEW ) SILVERMAC Westworld 49 ( NEW ) FULL METAL JACKET (I WANNA BE A DRILL INSTRUCTOR) Abigail Mead & Nigel Goulding 50 ( 62 ) TOUCH OF GREY The Grateful Dead 51 ( 51 ) ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE The Beatles 52 ( NEW ) SECRET AGENT MAN Bruce Willis 53 ( 53 ) I STILL HAVEN’T FOUND WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR U2 54 ( 59 ) LET ME BE THE ONE Expose 55 ( 34 ) MISFIT Curiosity Killed The Cat 56 ( 52 ) TRUE FAITH New Order 57 ( 67 ) BETCHA SAY THAT Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine 58 ( 56 ) HIGHER AND HIGHER (YOUR LOVE KEEPS LIFTING ME) Jackie Wilson 59 ( 64 ) IT’S OVER Level 42 60 ( 60 ) HUMAN Human League 61 ( 50 ) SPY IN THE HOUSE OF LOVE Was (Not Was) 62 ( 61 ) IT’S NOT UNUSUAL Tom Jones 63 ( NEW ) THAT GIRL Freddie McGregor 64 ( 42 ) I’VE BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE Cutting Crew 65 ( 72 ) WHO WILL YOU RUN TO Heart 66 ( 65 ) I GET THE SWEETEST FEELING Jackie Wilson 67 ( 66 ) A DIFFERENT CORNER George Michael 68 ( NEW ) WALK THE DINOSAUR Was (Not Was) 69 ( 41 ) WHY CAN’T I BE YOU The Cure 70 ( NEW ) LOVE IN THE FIRST DEGREE Bananarama 71 ( NEW ) MY BAG Lloyd Cole & The Commotions 72 ( 43 ) HEARTACHE (12” REMIX) Pepsi and Shirlie 73 ( NEW ) SOMETHING IN YOUR EYES Dusty Springfield & Richard Carpenter 74 ( 45 ) WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME U2 75 ( NEW ) MAYBE TOMORROW UB40 FAVE OLDIES OF THE WEEK 1 EAGLE Abba 2 WHY CAN’T WE LIVE TOGETHER Timmy Thomas 3 SUMMER NIGHT CITY Abba |

yay for Little Lies
my fav of the newies has to be Bananarama, amazing pop song, SAW at their best and finest, pop perfection, should have been a #1, think SAW were at their peak in 87...then they kinda lost it and became very mediocre but at this point they were really good Steve Wijnrood I was never a big fan of, I recall Valerie from back in the day but kinda passed me by... it did flop in the UK, right? |
