6 New Entries - Including debut for Adeva and the return of some old favourites like Roy Orbison (post death release) and Gene Pitney the highest new entry is a debut for Mike and The Mechanics.

5 Chart Breakers - including Milli Vanilli, Natalie Cole and a huge climb into the Top 40 (31 from 77) for Roachford.

High Climbers - Climie Fisher, Boy Meets Girl, Duran Duran, Fine Young Cannibals and Will To Power who storm into the Top 10.

1 January 1989

All charts are dated the Sunday they were broadcast the official date is the Saturday afterwards.

The post Christmas Chart has three new entries. The return of Duran Duran and Fine Young Cannibals to the chart plus the debut appearance for Will To Power.

Two Chart Breakers into the Top 40. Cimie Fisher and Yazz take advantage of the new year lull and climb into the 40.

In the Top 10 Kim Wilde claims her third Top 10 in a row, however it would be the last time she would make the Official Top 10. The rest of the Top 10 is pretty stagnant, though Cliff's big fall to 5 meant a new number one.
