My April 1992 Charts

5th April 1992

It’s new in 1 for the 1977 classic Year Of The Cat, Al Stewart didn’t set my charts alight with it first time round but by 1992 I was in full-on love mode, and bought the newly released-on-CD-single version, giving an entire top 5 of old songs as ZZ Top shoot up to 5 with Elvis Presley’s 1966 film soundtrack title song, Viva Las Vegas, giving ZZ and new chart peak after almost a decade. Ce Ce Peniston Finally makes the top 10, and Erasure keep their long list of top 10’s up-to-date with Breath Of Life at 10.

A new entry at 14 for another Trevor Horn-produced Marc Almond epic – this time 1967’s Days Of Pearly Spencer, the flop original by David McWilliams might not have produced a career, but he at least got to see David Bowie cover it and Marc Almond have a big hit with the dramatic story-song before dying in 2002. Julian Lennon makes it 8 years of top 20 hits as Get a Life debuts at 19. Shockingly that’s a longer span than The Beatles chart career, and only 3 years short of dad John’s solo career.

At 34, Kylie has some Finer Feelings with one of her finest 90’s tracks, Tom Petty has left the Wilburys to reunite with his Heartbreakers, and Too Good To Be True, but it is – 15 years since they debuted. Foreigner bring a revived 1981 track back, still waiting for a girl like you at 44, Inner City revamp Hallelujah, Howard Jones is lifted up with his 9th charting year at 64, Curtis Stigers follows-up a big hit with another big hit (albeit a less-decent one), Randy Crawford is 13 years into her career with a cover of Journey’s Who’s Crying Now, and The Pasadenas are back with a dance-version Bread cover. Let’s just say Let Loose showed how to cover the classic Make It With You later in the decade and leave it at that.

12th April 1992

It’s 2 weeks on top for Al Stewart’s classic 1977 minor hit, Year Of The Cat as Marc Almond gets a hat-trick of top 10’s with The Days Of Pearly Spencer at 4, and Foreigner’s 1981 rock ballad biggy Waiting For A Girl Like You shoots up to 8, and highest new entry at 5 is a reactivated Glam classic from Alvin Stardust, My Coo Ca Choo topping my late 1973 charts. Chuck in the retro-sounding Def Leppard Let’s Get Rocked up to 9 and the MOR ballad Why up to 3, and it’s pretty much an oldies entire top 10.

Kylie climbs to 11, XTC to 23, and a host of new entries invade the chart to at least give some fresher blood lower down the chart: The Stone Roses I Am The Resurrection new at 33, Cher sings Could’ve Been You at 40, Frankie Miller lauds Caledonia at 42 for 15 years of chart entries, Chaka Khan’s on 18 years as she enters at 59, Jody Watley on 13 years at 62, Liquid debut at 64, Chris De Burgh 15 years at 73 and Genesis also on 18 years at 74.

Curiosity decide it’s the the year of the cat and drop it from their name, as their fab cover of Johnny Bristol’s 1974 smash Hang On In There Baby is new at 45, and Rod Stewart covers great mate Elton John’s Your Song. That’s before Phyllis and Sharon fell out of course. Texas also return with a fab soul classic cover, Al Green’s Tired Of Being Alone at 55.

19th April 1992

It’s a first (and last) chart-topper for Def Leppard – Let’s Get Rocked might not be as good as Animal, but it’s outpeaked it when the main competition is oldies, not least Steve Harley coming back to a new peak of 2 17 years on from Make Me Smile going top 10. Kylie meanwhile continues to add her growing number of top 10’s with Finer Feelings. My feeling is she’s not going to stop doing that for another 30 years at least.

Two more oldies are back, with Squeeze’s 1979 Cool For Cats is at 18, and Madness get another revived oldie with House Of Fun at 19 10 years on from peaking at 2. New at 29, Kim Wilde’s forgotten fab Love Is Holy, 11-year-career and counting, and I’m hoping she does it when I see her for the 5th time next week. Brand New Heavies Never Stop at 51, Michael Jackson’s firmly In The Closet at 60, and Woman In Chains is back again for Tears For Fears & Oleta Adams 3 years on from going top 10. Mariah Carey gets a another entry, The Mission are still goth-rocking, M People are starting to build up to big sales Someday soon, and John Cougar sneaks in for a decade of mostly-Mellencamp tracks.

Errol Brown Live at Poole Arts Centre

Errol had broken up Hot Chocolate (sadly) as one of my fave singles acts for 15 years in a row was the band, but in 1992 he was still touring their back catalogue. Oddly, most of my fave records either he didn’t do or lacked a bit of oomph, and it was the funk ones that stood out, bar Emma, which is stark to start with, and remaining stark isn’t too difficult.

26th April 1992

It’s a first-ever week on top for Steve Harley’s classic 1975 UK chart-topper, Make Me Smile, as oldies continue to dominate my chart, Curiosity’s cover up fast to 3, for their 2nd top 10, Kim Wilde leaping 21 to 8 as Love Is Holy adds to the 11 years of top 10’s. Highest new (old) entry is CCR and 1969’s Bad Moon Rising, a fave from Singapore days and not far off my driving the Florida Keys one moonlit night with the track on the radio.

The other theme of the week is grungeish new entries, L7 at 33 with Pretend We’re Dead, Nirvana Come As You Are at 57, and Pearl Jam’s Even Flow at 73. Sounds Of Balckness bring a bit of gospel soul dance at 41, KWS ruin a KC & The Sunshine chart-topper for me, Please Don’t Go still charting at 68 though, and Sisters Of Mercy’s Temple Of Love is gothtastic at 63. On TV it was the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, and the tracks I picked weren’t the tracks that got onto the UK chart-topping EP.

    There’s so much about ‘Let’s Get Rocked’ that makes me cringe – the ‘teenage’ lyrics, the clunky wordplay – but I still enjoy it despite that
