Yeah not one of their well-known songs. Only reached No.41 in the UK charts.

Fantastic no1 and also brillant to see The Pogues in the top 10 on its first year charting!!

I'd rather it be no1 but PSBs were huge then and the popular band wins out in the end and your a huge fan yourself I know.

27th December 1987

It's 2 weeks on top for Pet Shop Boys in a very quiet post-Xmas chart, just a top 10 move for Cher - her first solo top 10 since Dark Lady in 1974 - and Taylor Dayne debuts inside the 10 too. New Order get the biggest climber to the top 30, Climie Fisher get the biggest climber in the chart, to 39, for a second top 40, and the highest new entry is Heart, There's The Girl.

Other newies: Roger Waters gets a solo non-Floyd track, 8 years since topping with Another Brick, The Stranglers cover The Kinks, Billy Idol returns with Hot In The City, U2 get a 4th track off the Joshua Tree, and Los Lobos cover Ritchie Valens again, this time Donna some months after the original was reissued. In my playlist I was into Roy Orbison and Abba, beating the future chart-topping hits albums.

nice to see Heart as highest entry, loved There's the Girl, great single that should have done better even if it wasn't a ballad, sure it's not on the same level as Alone but it's still a great track... also liked In God's Country, was it a US single?

also liked all those climbers, Cher, Taylor Dayne, Belinda Carlisle, Johnny Hates Jazz, Christians and Krush

It was plugging a new live album and the big hits had been drying up gradually, so I guess it was a move away from the post-Golden Brown radio-friendly singles to remind everyone of their punk roots. I liked both versions of The Stranglers and I like acts to be unpredictable so I was on board - plus it's a great Kinks song smile.gif

The U2 track was a US single yes, and charted on import in the UK, which is why it qualified for my chart at a time when I excluded album tracks (unless I was in another country and they were released as singles while I was there laugh.gif ). As vinyl died in the US, cd singles took over for a while, but even they eventually died out and only maxi-singles were issued - mainly dance remixes - or cheaper teen-aimed cardboard-sleeve singles. Once US record labels stopped releasing singles to push album sales (which was a huge success, some terrible albums sold in bucketloads just for one unreleased track) and the US singles chart was adjusted to allow album tracks to chart, it was the death knell for singles until downloading came along. I bought loads of cd maxi-single rarities on holiday from the likes of Prince, Erasure, Depeche Mode so was sad to see them go for the most-part.

it's surprising that U2 didn't milk The Joshua Tree more in the UK and stopped after 3 singles
besides In Gods Country, Bullet the Blue Sky and Running to Stand Still were all single material and possibly better than anything they've done post-1993 smile.gif

at that time I wasn't a big U2 fan yet, maybe I was too young, took me a few years to appreciate the album

Yes In God's Country would have been a Top 5 single certainly. Easily U2's best album by far without a duff track.

Honestly I wanted to see PSB and Dusty or Rick Astley (like in official UK chart) at # 1 on that signature week. wink.gif

ah well, Pet Shop Boys was still the top NEW track of that week, so that sort of over-rides oldies when you go back and retro-review "Songs of 1987", oldies always get shifted back to the year they came out for me ("Songs Of 1969" in this case) laugh.gif
