Love the Taylor Dayne track too. Man In The Mirror only peaked at 22 but then re-peaked of course when he died.

I prefer 'Prove Your Love'. 'Tell it To My Heart' is still good though and I remember the Kelly Llorenna cover of it from 2002 which is a bit over the top laugh.gif but I really like it.

oh was expecting Sign Your Name to climb to the top but don't mind the Taylor song is a great one, loved it back then, pop perfection
Man in the Mirror is also great, always amazed at how it bombed in the UK not even going top 20, must have been the lack of video?

Cannot recall any of the newies besides Kylie. I Should be so Lucky was a cute little song but a kinda disposable SAW track. I always thought they gave Kylie a bunch of lacklustre tracks, and think they write much better tracks for other artists.

Good to see Mandinka slowly climbing into the top 20 and slow but nice climbs for T'Pau and All About Eve. and of course, Shake Your Love, hope it's a future #1. Thinking about it, it's true what you said that Debbie could have been another Sia. Not sure how prolific she was, but she could have given some songs to others... even Tiffany biggrin.gif


3 is as good as it got for TTD, I'm afraid sad.gif The lack of a video didn't help Man In The Mirror, neither did the huge album sales, but I seriously think the charts had got so overloaded with ballads over christmas that people wanted something more upbeat - it wasn't just Jacko, George Michael also under-performed, both from big albums 3 or 4 singles in. Both were huge in the USA....

Ooh, Shake Your Love won't be topping my chart, hope it's not too much of a shock where it peaks! biggrin.gif I don't think women becoming professional hit songwriters was even thought of as a thing at that time, Diane Warren, maybe Carole Bayer Sager & a couple of others excepted it was exclusively male, and it's only in the last 2 decades that people like Cathy Dennis paved the way for others. Bizarrely it had been very much a thing in the Brill building 60's, for Carole King, Ellie Greenwich and others, and Valerie Simpson at Motown...

7th February 1988

It's a second week on top for Taylor Dayne and a second week at 2 for Jacko as Bros go top 3 - to my surprise, as I didn't recall them getting that high, but it was a good single. Back in at 4, Was (Not Was) bring Spy In The House Of Love back as it starts to sell in the UK at last, and it instantly peaks higher, and quite right too, helped by me buying it in the bargain bins in between releases. Icehouse are also back in again for the same reissued reasons, and a new peak of 10 and a 3rd top 10 to boot. Another House track in the top 10 and 3 in the 20, I was more into the new sound of music than I remembered.

Highest actual newly-debuted track is from Abba's Agnetha, 14 years a total fave of mine, and the lead single off her Peter Cetera-produced (he of Chicago) album, more MOR than previous solo stuff, giving her 5 years of solo chart entries outside Abba. About as prolific as Kate Bush on the album front, she'd stretch that out another 25 years or so with an assist from Gary Barlow on the most-recent. Billy Ocean pops back with yet another in his 12-years-long run of hit singles (with a gap in the middle), the catchy Get Outta My Dreams. Pity about the creepy Get Into My Car stalker-ish sentence-end!

Stevie Wonder is back with You Will Know, one of his more memorable post-1986 singles (not that that says much), for 20 years of hits! Squeeze take a telephone number into the charts for 10 years of hits, and immediately ruin their chances of a hit as the number is not remotely memorable, even if the tune is OK. OMD are Dreaming, but the reality is the singles are getting less-memorable 8 years on, Faith No More pop back with We Care A Lot, Cherrelle & Alexander O'Neal double-up again, not Saturday Love this time, as they never knew love like this one before. Bryan Ferry enjoys a bit of Kiss & Tell 16 years on, Aztec Camera, though, know How Men Are and look down on that sort of thing 5 years on from feeling Oblivious to it.

yesterday I was in the library and accidentally found a book on Michael Jackson, where all his songs are explained
I checked Man in the Mirror and there they explain that Siedah Garrett was Quincy Jones' protegé, she had been singing in some band
but also writing songs... and in early 87 she went to a meeting at Quincy Jones' house with other songwriters and they were told that Michael was
short on songs and needed more tracks for Bad. So next day Siedah Garrett met with Glen Ballard, who came up with the melody, and then they
added some random lyrics Siedah had already written in her journal about some man in the mirror, and that became the song,
which was then pitched to MJ and accepted for Bad.
They also explain how a few months later, Siedah was told to go to Quincy¨s studio and she thought it was related to Man in the mirror
but when she arrived, MJ was also there and she had been called to sing on I Just Cant Stop Loving You, which was a surprise to her, and they
recorded it right away. They also explain how MJ was a bit of a chameleon so he was kinda singing imitating Siedah's voice so
the voices ended up sounding pretty similar.

sorry, long post smile.gif

Interesting! I always suspected the duet was a thank you. Glen Ballard became huge, apart from MJ songs he co-wrote most of Alanis' great Jagged Little Pill songs, key Wilson Phillips tracks, and some Anastacia hits. Among others!

I Think I only know Glen Ballard from Jagged Little Pill, I got the audio-commentary
and they explain how they mostly wrote a song a day, him and Alanis,
they were meeting for lunch, talking about some topic, like wouldn't it be ironic if you win the lottery
and day the next day? then they were hitting the studio and boom, writing a song about it,
mostly Alanis lyrics and him the music for what I understood.

Class, they do get a top 10 hit in the official chart in 1995 but the 1988 comeback only peaked at 54 or something, hope to discover it when it charts in your chart this year 😜

14th February 1988

It's a new number one as Man In The Mirror gives Jacko his 3rd chart-topper off Bad and his 8th solo chart-topper, plus another with Rockwell and 3 more with his brothers. Agnetha Faltskog gets her first solo top 10, Kylie her first top 20, and as a Barry White oldie makes my current charts this week - so he did in 1988 too, his 1974 Top 20 Never Never Gonna Give Ya Up. An even older classic, previously a Sex Pistols hit, debuts for Eddie Cochran, C'Mon Everybody being around 28 years old at the time. In at 26.

The Led Zep man is back again with a solo track, Heaven Knows, Vanessa Paradis, the French 14-year-old (if even that) debuts with the brilliant Joe Le Taxi. Future Mrs Kravitz I think. The Mission & Deacon Blue both add a little dignity to their list of chart entries, Paul Carrack grabs another solo hit to add to his 14-year-long run with other acts since he was asking How Long in 1974 with Ace. The Cure also return and my album tracks of the week get honorary pre-single chart spots of 76 and 77, they would both be much higher, and Heart would be out very soon for Pet Shop Boys.

21st February 1988

It's 2 weeks on top for Man In The Mirror and highest new entry at 6 is Yazz & The Plastic Population with yet another House track in the upper echelons - courtesy of Coldcut - and the fab Doctorin' The House, outdoing Kylie Minogue who climbs to 8 with I Should Be So Lucky and Sinead O'Connor at 10 with Mandinka. They'll both get the last laugh though in the long run...

Another dance great enters at 13 for Bomb The Bass, Beat Dis, as 2 oldies return - Berlin back after a short break with chart-topper Take My Breath Away at 15, and 60's anthem My Generation from The Who at 17 debuting 20-odd years late and 19 years since Pinball Wizard introduced them to my charts. In at 18, a soul winner from Roger sounding all futuristic on I Want To Be Your Man back in at 18 after a 1987 chart-run.

Big climbs for Vanessa Paradis, Nitro Deluxe, Cherrelle & Alexander O'Neal, Eric Carmen, Faith No More, The Bangles & Stevie Wonder all going top 40. Cliff has Two Hearts in at 46 - not the Phil Collins song - Heart are Never stopping have new entries with older tracks, Sting has An Englishman In New York a few years before the remixed version does much better, Belinda Carlisle follows up her biggie as she gets weak at the effort, and Richard Marx pops in quietly ahead of some much bigger chart action in 1989 and 1992.
