3rd January 1988
It's a 3rd week on top for Pet Shop Boys on my 30th birthday, a quiet chart, and the annual Gary Glitter rousing Xmas/New Years concert with support from Westworld popping up in my weekly playlist mentions. The Bee Gees make it 2 top 10's in a row, and make it another year they can tick off a top 10 hit: so that'll be 1968-1972, 1975-1981, 1987-1988, though if you include top 20's, solo records, and acts they wrote and produced for they only missed out on 1973 and 1985, I think. Bananarama make it 3 top 40 in a row off the new album, highest new entry is a charity track at 50, Lloyd Cole follows up My Bag, and INXS get a second Kick track in the chart....and that's it.

10th January 1988
It's a first week on top for the gorgeous under-rated Eurythmics single, Shame, their 3rd chart-topper after Sex Crime (1984) and There Must Be An Angel, though Sweet Dreams almost did it, and most of their earlier singles went top 5. In at 5 2 years early for the UK charts, it's the Righteous Brothers classic from 1965, You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin', a record I liked as a kid (and charted in in 1969 when it was a hit again), liked some more when it charted again in 1975, and by 1988 it had turned to love and a new chart peak. By the time it became the follow-up to Ghost-reissued Unchained Melody I was on full-on adoration and have remained so ever since. The greatest recorded vocal pop performance by a male duet, bar none. Not even close. Jellybean finally gets a top 10, by Jingo, Krush are arresting some House, and Belinda Carlisle gets her first solo top 10. In at 14, Terence Trent D'Arby gets his third top 20, with his best record, Sign Your Name, and George Michael finally releases one of the classic tracks off Faith, the brilliant Father Figure - and is rewarded by a UK under-performance chartwise, presumably everyone sick of the OTT ballad-filled Xmas charts and just wanting to dance in the New Year. This curse also did for Jacko's Man In The Mirror, inexplicably, and both huge US hits to boot. At 48 Sinead O'Connor debuts baldly where no woman has debuted before - with Mandinka, a quirky ethnic-tinged pop ditty which wasn't a sign of things to come. Joyce Sims smoothly beckons you to come into her life, veteran Gladys Knight is back chucking love overboard 20 years into her career, and still going 32 years on from 1988. Debbie Gibson prefers to shake her love, which is quite catchy, Elton John does a live version of Candle In The Wind, which I never liked much in 1974 (the B side Bennie & The Jets was a chart-topper for me) and doesn't entirely bring on loathing from me. It took 1997 to do that. Depeche Mode drive into the top 75, just about passing their test. 1 ( 2 ) SHAME Eurythmics 2 ( 1 ) ALWAYS ON MY MIND Pet Shop Boys 3 ( 3 ) HELLO GOODBYE The Beatles 4 ( 4 ) I FOUND SOMEONE Cher 5 ( NEW ) YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVIN' FEELIN' The Righteous Brothers 6 ( 6 ) THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL Michael Jackson 7 ( 12 ) JINGO Jellybean 8 ( 14 ) HOUSE ARREST Krush 9 ( 9 ) FAMILY MAN Fleetwood Mac 10 ( 16 ) HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH Belinda Carlisle 11 ( 8 ) TELL IT TO MY HEART Taylor Dayne 12 ( 5 ) I ONLY WANT TO BE WITH YOU Dusty Springfield 13 ( 7 ) FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl 14 ( NEW ) SIGN YOUR NAME Terence Trent D'Arby 15 ( 19 ) IDEAL WORLD The Christians 16 ( 13 ) LETTER FROM AMERICA The Proclaimers 17 ( 24 ) THERE’S THE GIRL Heart 18 ( 15 ) LOVE LETTERS Alison Moyet 19 ( 20 ) TURN BACK THE CLOCK Johnny Hates Jazz 20 ( 11 ) WHEN I FALL IN LOVE Nat ‘King’ Cole 21 ( 10 ) ESP The Bee Gees 22 ( 18 ) LITTLE LIES Fleetwood Mac 23 ( 54 ) HOT IN THE CITY Billy Idol 24 ( 32 ) I CAN’T HELP IT Bananarama 25 ( 30 ) RISE TO THE OCCASION Climie Fisher 26 ( 21 ) YOU WIN AGAIN The Bee Gees 27 ( 41 ) I THINK WE’RE ALONE NOW Tiffany 28 ( 33 ) ANGEL EYES Wet Wet Wet 29 ( 27 ) SUGAR SUGAR (CANDYFLOSS MIX)/(ORIGINAL VERSION) The Archies 30 ( 17 ) LET ME BE THE ONE/ (REMIX) Expose 31 ( 31 ) TUNNEL OF LOVE Bruce Springsteen 32 ( 36 ) PACKJAMMED (WITH THE PARTY POSSE) Stock Aitken Waterman 33 ( 28 ) BAD Michael Jackson 34 ( 45 ) ALL DAY AND ALL OF THE NIGHT The Stranglers 35 ( 35 ) TIGHTEN UP Wally Jump Junior & The Criminal Element 36 ( 26 ) TOUCHED BY THE HAND OF GOD New Order 37 ( 29 ) CRITICIZE Alexander O’Neal 38 ( 25 ) THE LOOK OF LOVE Madonna 39 ( NEW ) FATHER FIGURE George Michael 40 ( 39 ) WHAT HAVE I DONE (TO DESERVE THIS) Pet Shop Boys & Dusty Springfield 41 ( 34 ) WHO FOUND WHO Jellybean featuring Lisa Fiorillo 42 ( 22 ) ROCKIN’ AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE Mel (Smith) & Kim (Wilde) 43 ( 50 ) THE WISHING WELL GOSH 44 ( 40 ) THE TIDE IS TURNING Roger Waters 45 ( 47 ) IN GOD’S COUNTRY U2 46 ( 68 ) I SAY NOTHING Voice Of The Beehive 47 ( 48 ) JUST TO GET BY Babakoto 48 ( NEW ) MANDINKA Sinead O'Connor 49 ( 23 ) EV’RY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE Simply Red 50 ( 43 ) RENT Pet Shop Boys 51 ( 38 ) I’VE BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE Cutting Crew 52 ( 37 ) CHILDREN SAY Level 42 53 ( NEW ) COME INTO MY LIFE Joyce Sims 54 ( 51 ) FAMILY AFFAIR/RUNNIN’ AWAY Sly & The Family Stone 55 ( 44 ) KID (REMIX) The Pretenders 56 ( 42 ) MY BAG Lloyd Cole & The Commotions 57 ( 66 ) JENNIFER SGE SAID Lloyd Cole & The Commotions 58 ( 53 ) CARS (E REG MODEL)/ ARE ‘FRIENDS’ ELECTRIC Gary Numan & Tubeway Army 59 ( 63 ) O L’AMOUR Dollar 60 ( 56 ) ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE The Beatles 61 ( 52 ) PAID IN FULL Eric B & Rakim 62 ( 62 ) NEED YOU TONIGHT INXS 63 ( 74 ) NEW SENSATION INXS 64 ( 59 ) LOVE POWER Dionne Warwick & Jeffrey Osbourne 65 ( 49 ) DEVIL’S BALL Double 66 ( 58 ) PUMP UP THE VOLUME M/A/R/R/S 67 ( 65 ) HUMAN Human League 68 ( NEW ) LOVE OVERBOARD Gladys Knight & The Pips 69 ( 67 ) HERE I GO AGAIN Whitesnake 70 ( NEW ) SHAKE YOUR LOVE Debbie Gibson 71 ( 69 ) HOLIDAY The Other Ones 72 ( 72 ) LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING Climie Fisher 73 ( 55 ) GOT MY MIND SET ON YOU George Harrison 74 ( NEW ) CANDLE IN THE WIND (LIVE) Elton John 75 ( NEW ) BEHIND THE WHEEL Depeche Mode Playlist oldies and album tracks of that week 1 SHIP OF FOOLS World Party 2 SITTING IN THE PARK Georgie Fame 3 MOVE ON Abba |

Good to see Shame finally top your chart. It's my favourite Eurythmics song,starting with those wonderful bell chimes. It should really have been a top 40 hit for them.

yes for Shame, agree, phenomenal song, not my #1 Eurythmics song, that would be The Miracle of Love, another under-dog like Shame
also great climbs for Krush and Belinda into the top 10, loved both, House Arrest I think was the 1st dance song that I really liked, all those house songs from early 88 were great also love Sign Your Name, what a song, should have been a #1 in the charts, such a classic... Father Figure is also great, one of the highlights from the Faith album. The album was a mixed bag with the ballads being great but the faster tracks being kinda meh especially I Want Your Sex and Monkey. and great to see Mandinka debuting. I also discovered Sinead in early 88, bought the vinyl, one of the first albums I ever bought as a kid, and it made a huge impression on me, was a huge Sinead fan for her first 2 albums, then she kinda lost me as the quality of her music never matched the first 2 albums. The songs are so simple (mostly 2 super easy chords, maximum 3) but yet so powerful. My fav song of hers is Troy, which I often play on guitar although the lyrics are hard to remember. There is a live version of Troy from Pinkpop which might be the best Youtube video ever. So intense. |

House Arrest by Krush is brilliant, one of the best early house tracks imo, sounding big with the 80s beats, unpoppy compared to a lot of the other stuff at the time in the charts and has a good bassline 'drop' too which is why I recently nominated it in the best basslines thread on here.

Great song but have your heard TTD's first album Introducing The Hardline According To..? Just a brilliant album, If You Let Me Stay, Wishing Well, Dance Little Sister and the non-single tracks are very good too. |

Hi Bjork I'm embarrassed to say I'd forgotten about House Arrest, not heard it since the 80's I think  Playing it now and it comes flooding back, cut n paste house dance with a girlie hook. I rather liked the whole DIY sampling habits of new dance music at the time! Sinead, dont know that video, but she's never been one not to wear her heart on her sleeve! I wish I could play guitar, jealous of you having that ability!  |

Hi Snakey, yes listening to it now it's not as hooky as I usually tend to opt for, but I also go for unusual-sounding new tracks. I think I need to hear it loud in a club, that's when dance (and all music come to that) sounds at it's absolute best

17th January 1988
It's 2 weeks on top for Eurythmics lovely Shame, and some sudden reversals for both Family Man (Fleetwood Mac up to a new peak of 2, as still-album-track Everywhere enters at 76) and Tell It To My Heart (Taylor Dayne hitting a new peak of 5). One of them will top my chart next next week. Ooh, the suspense! Terence Trent D'Arby hits 7 as he gets his girlfriend to signs her name across his heart, I'm not sure that's a recognised medical procedure mind you, and Tiffany joins the yo-yo club too, heading back yet again into the 20 with I Think We're Alone Now. Billy Idol's early 80's Hot In The City also is in the 20, and highest new entry is a reactivated Barry White lush oldie, Never Never Gonna Give You Up, which had charted for me in 1974 before Bazza really had caught on much, but now is deservedly back at a respectable 15. Father Figure leaps into the 20, making it 3 in a row from Faith for George Michael, Climie Fisher make it 2 top 20's in a row, and the 'Nana's 3 in a row. Dollar rocket Erasure's O L'Amour into the 30, at 22 from 59, and Lloyd Cole makes it 2 top 30's in a row as Jennifer She Said joins My Bag in doing so. INXS create a New Sensation with a Kick into the 40 for the 2nd track, Elton is blowing his own Candle, the live version on the verge of outdoing the original at 38, and U2 make it another Joshua Tree top 40. Newies this week: Elvis is back with oldie Stuck On You, one of his big hits that had never charted for me, at 44, Eddy Grant returns with his last big hit, the jolly anti-apartheid Gimme Hope Jo'Anna, and a career of 20 years since The Equals were Baby Come Back-ing. The Beatmasters drag in The Cookie Crew for some more House dancing, there was a lot of it about, Bros debut a bit late with When Will I Be Famous - answers on a postcard not needed, as the correct response was "any day now" - and Sinitta, rides her GTO. I assume she had to sell it as she ended up Hitchin' A Ride some time later. The Screaming Blue Messiah's pop in with I Wanna Be A Flintstone - rather sadly never used in the big 90's movie version of the great 60's animated sitcom - and I have to say at one time as a boy (around the time I had a Flintstones Annual for Christmas) I probably did wanna be a Flintstone, but not Fred, he was too loud. Probably Pebbles or Dino. Stevie Wonder was well into his "minor chart entry" phase by 1988, resolutely flagging his intentions for the next 30 years, Basia had abandoned Matt Bianco for a solo career that never took off, despite her Promises, Black get a 3rd chart entry, and it's Paradise, Wendy & Lisa return with a Sideshow, and The Beat return at 75. I mean, Fine Young Cannibals return. Doh!

QUOTE(Popchartfreak @ Jan 14 2020, 03:53 PM) Hi Chris - I got that album free with one of the papers when they were all going mad giving away free CD's - I bought bucketloads of papers round about then for some reason His follow-up Neither Fish Nor Flesh was awful as was his third album. Pity as his first is a classic. |
