80s Number 1's hits of 1988

Two years after their debut single and first UK number one the pet shop boys chalk up their third chart topping success with you are always on my mind, a tune that already had chart runs with Willie Nelson and the King. The pet shop boys, again took pole position with Heart a dance remix actually from their second album actually.

The spring of 1988 saw the fresh faced antipodean talent of kylie reach the top spot. Recently released from neighbours she was propelled from Charlene to chart success by Stock, Aitkin and Waterman. However we noticed that if you played a 33rpm recording of Rick Astley at 45rpm it sounded like Kylie and vice versa. In the old days we could do this as long as we were using a thing called vinyl and an ancient invention called a record player. Strange how 80s djs could while away the hours between Gigs.
