This week in 1988 was the 2nd week at #1 for Phil Collins' cover of the Mindbenders' 1966 hit "A Groovy Kind of Love". Phil's version comes from the soundtrack of the film "Buster" which also starred Phil as Great Train Robber Buster Edwards. #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/R4sxjv4DMX

Originally a #3 hit in 1969, a reissue of The Hollies' "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" climbed to #2 this week in 1988. It went on to spend the next two weeks at #1, 24 years after their first #1 hit "I'm Alive". #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/HHyTVFdCpx

Bros's fourth hit of 1988, "I Quit" entered the chart at #4 but even a square picture disc and a bizarre acid house mix of the track couldn't get it any higher. It was the only one of their first six hits not to reach #1 or #2. #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/T8ZpMMc173
