15th November 1992

It's unexpectedly up to the top spot after 10 weeks dithering for BoyzIIMen's End Of The Road. I wasn't convinced, then it grew on me, then it convinced me it was really good, and then I found myself falling out of love with it over the years. They had better records, but they also had much worse records (to come). The one that should have topped this week was Charles & Eddy, now there's a track that sounds better with time. Cher becomes the 2nd act to make Oh No Not My Baby a top 10 song, after Rod Stewart's 1973 version, but I'd still go for a Carole King version of her own song, myself.

Heaven 17 just fall short of the top 10, that's Temptation, and Sade re-enters at a new peak of 26 after under-performing with No Ordinary Love, and even that's far short of where it deserves to be, but it'll be back in 1993 for another go. The highest new track is The B52's Is That You Mo-Dean, quirky as ever at 34, as Dr. Alban's It's My Life drops out the chart, but also enters with follow-up One Love at 45. Definition Of Sound return again with Can I Get Over in at 60, and there's re-entries from Vivienne McKOne and Galliano.

MC Mario and mates drop in with SuperMarioLand, a massive computer game that otherwise passed me by, as it culturally has ever since, in movies, music and anything else, but there's no way I could have foreseen that Universal Studios Florida (which I had already been to a few times) would be building a 3rd huge new Theme Park down the road from Universal number one in 2024, part of which is a themed around Mario. It'll be huge, along with the Harry Potter part 2, Universal Monsters and other areas.

Gerry Rafferty is still charting for me, but tragically he'll be passing away in just over a year, and Madness make a comeback ahead of their UK chart comeback in 5 years time, The Harder They Come. That leaves Vaya Con Dios returning after a City break in Amsterdam or Paris (I forget which one, Paris I think) let me buy the vinyl single they had out circa 1990/1991. I was in a Spanish restaurant about 15 years later, and an elderly chap with a guitar who was singing Spanish music asked if I had any requests, so I picked the only one I thought he would know that I would know - Vaya Con Dios. He was very good and seemed pleased with the request.

22nd November 1992

It's 2 weeks on top for BoyzIIMen, holding off a double threat from Michael Jackson and the late Otis Redding. Heal The World had grabbed a couple of places as an album track, but now out as a single it smashes in at 2 a year after I first went keen on it. Dock Of The Bay pre-dated my chart, but was a huge fave in the late 60's and early 70's, and had charted in 1974 as a re-issue for me, but now hits a new peak of 3 on a second re-issue. Madonna's best track on Erotica also gets a single release, should have been the lead single - Deeper And Deeper debuts at 9.

Another album track drops as a single at 26 for Prince, still releasing good stuff with "7", but ti's not long to go before he sabotages his own career by "killing off" Prince and emerging as "Symbol". Celine pops back in at 31 for me, a new peak for Love Can Move Mountains, and ditto Enya at 36 with The Celts. Kylie Minogue meanwhile covers Kool & The Gang and is rewarded with a number 50 debut, as the soul/dance covers keep on coming until she gets some better new material.

Down the bottom end, Take That are back with a cover of the Barry Manilow/Donna Summer hit rewrite of a classical tune, Could It Be Magic at 74? At 75, Michael Bolton does his best to ruin The Bee Gees' brilliant To Love Somebody, as covered by Nina Simone and Jimmy Somerville to decent result.
