We’re almost at the end of the ’80s this week as we go back to the chart of 25 November 1989! As always there’s a bunch of forgotten and half-remembered hits, three tracks from the week’s featured album, a song from an international chart, a look at the day’s events and the top five in full. Which song from the last weeks of the ’80s was a hit four more times in the ’90s? Which band turned down Noel Gallagher as lead singer but were decent enough to employ him as a roadie? And which ’80s giants saw their run of twenty consecutive top 50 hits come to a shuddering halt when their next single stalled at number 94? Click PLAY to find out!
