09 -- Chocolate Box - BROS Now I could understand why Bros originally made it big but this is truly woeful

12 -- Street Tuff - DOUBLE TROUBLE & REBEL MC Funnily enough, I don't mind this. Not a great track but passable disposable pop

27 -- I Can't Forget You - SONIA More SAW pap from a truly horrible artist

28 -- Leave A Light On - BELINDA CARLISLE I like a lot of Belinda's tracks but this is not one of her best

32 -- Love On A Mountain Top - SINITTA Good Grief! Terrible Europop-style trash

34 -- Kennedy - WEDDING PRESENT Indie disco classic. I've rucked on a dancefloor to this many a time. Love it, Love it, love it!

40 -- Wishing On A Star - FRESH 4

45 -- I Feel For You - CHAKA KHAN Re-issue for 1985 #1

46 -- Don't Drop Bombs - LIZA MINELLI I never liked any of her stuff, Pet Shop Boys involvement or not

47 -- Bed Of Nails - ALICE COOPER More overblown rock from Mr Furnier.

52 -- I Want That Man - DEBORAH HARRY I really liked this at the time but it hasn't dated that well

55 -- Lovestrain - KYM MAZELLE Didn't do it for me at all. Know probably best known for being on Celebrity Fat Club

65 -- Oxygene IV - JEAN-MICHEL JARRE No idea why this was rereleased but supposedly highly influential. Always thought it was bland muzak myself

67 -- This Love Affair - STEFAN DENNIS Never realised he actually had a follow up single. Truly dire song from the Neighbours stalwart

68 -- Someday - FM Forgettable AOR

69 -- Wanted - HALO JAMES I remember this guy being hyped at the time but he obviously didn't have the songs to follow it up as this is dire

73 -- Armageddon Days Are Here (Again) - THE THE Great track with lyrics that are still relevent today

Yet another new entry at #1 as Tears for Fears debut with an album that isn't a patch on The Hurting or Songs From The Big Chair. Can't say it's a particularly exciting batch of new entries this week. I do have the Ian Mcculloch album but I probably only listened to it once or twice so it obviously didn't set me on fire with enthusiasm.

the old women were the best...chaka and debbie... (imho)

 

sinittas track was a cover from 74, robert knight, who had the original of 'everlasting love'.

Not a vintage run of new entries there, though I do like the Fresh 4 track. Very "of the time" and still sounds gorgeous 20 years on.

 

And poor Sonia!

Albums 14/10/89

 

Yet another album debuts at #1, this time the old folkie Tracey Chapman following up her mega selling first self titled effort.

A fine album from The Wonder Stuff showing quite a folky side to the Four Legged Groove Machine at times.

Just outside the Top 30 was the Jesus Jones debut album which I thoroughly loved at the time extending what PWEI were up to at the time and laying some of the groundwork for the T-Shirt bands of the early 90s like Carter USM et al.

 

01 NE Tracy Chapman - Crossroads

02 02 Tina Turner - Foreign Affair

03 01 Tears For Fears - The Seeds Of Love

04 03 Gloria Estefan - Cuts Both Ways

05 NE The Wonder Stuff - Hup

06 NE Bob Dylan - Oh Mercy

07 05 Madonna - Like A Prayer

08 04 Eurythmics - We Too Are One

09 14 London Boys - The Twelve Commandments Of Dance

10 10 Jason Donovan - Ten Good Reasons

 

15 NE Sugarcubes - Here Today, Tomorrow, Next Week

16 NE Jean Michel Jarre - Jarre Live

Does anyone want to take this thread over because I know I will not be able to do this justice in the immediate future.

 

I don't just want to leave it hanging though so I hope someone can take it over.
