George Michael has already had a Number One this year as part of Wham! (Wake me up before you go go - which falls slowly to Number 34 this week!) - can he do it again solo with "Careless Whisper" - climbing from 5 to 2 this week:
Frankie goes to Hollywood join The Police's "Every breath you take" as a ten week chart topper! This is "Two Tribes" - here they are with their best performance on BBC's Top of the Pops:
Cubfile:
Frankie goes to Hollywood make it ten weeks at the top with “Two Tribes” this week equally the record set last summer by The Police’s “Every breath you take” – can they beat it next week?
Climbers inside the top ten this week are George Michael, A Flock of Seagulls, Queen and Howard Jones. Prince has two singles in the top ten “Let’s go crazy” climbs to Number five and meets “When doves cry” which is heading down at Number six. Also heading south are Grandmaster Melle Mel and Billy Idol. Hazell Dean is a non-mover at Number Three.
The highest new entry this week comes in at Number 36 for Tears for Fears who return with “Mother’s Talk” and a much Rockier sound!
Frankie goes to Hollywood’s “Relax” which falls from 15 to 17 this week is still the longest runner in the chart with 41 weeks in total.
Next Week could see new entries from Stevie Wonder, Spandau Ballet, Ray Parker Jnr, Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, Cyndi Lauper, Bucks Fizz and The Associates – stay tuned!
