Nothing very topical here - BBC4 are of course repeating TotP from much further into 1990 - but I think there should be at least one single in
here Paul likes. And we almost have Dionne and Dion together.

Chart dated: 10th Feb 1990
1. (1) Sinead O'Connor Nothing Compares 2 U
Still makes the hairs prick up 30yrs on.
5. (4) Mantronix ft Wondress Got To Have Your Love
Very into this at the time, but they didn't do much after it.
8. (6) Halo James Could Have Told You So
Gorgeous vocals but another early 90s group that didn't capitalise on an early hit
11. (15) Del Amitri Nothing Ever Happens
Remember Dad seeing this on TOTP - bloody hell a protest song!
14. (7) New Kids On The Block Hangin' Tough {1990 reissue}
Dull.
15. (NE) Beats International ft Lindy Layton Dub Be Good To Me
About to be the first dub no1,
still sounds really fresh, but Lindy
didn't really have much of a career after this.
20. (22) The House Of Love Shine On
From the 'Butterfly' album,
superb bit of shoegaze indie throughout,
regulars in Peel's Festive 50
24. (36) The Beloved Hello
Very lyrically clever
32. (45) Rod Stewart Downtown Train
Not a bad track, he was seriously uncool by now but still having some
decent hits.
46. (35) Jason Donovan When You Come Back To Me
Proving that all you need to turn a track into an Xmas track is add some bells...
50. (42) Madonna Dear Jessie
This was a hit in summer 89 wasn't it, still hanging around? Or do I
just associate it with summer because of the feel of the track?
58. (47) The Stone Roses Sally Cinnamon
See 65... 2 of my favourite Roses songs in the same chart!
64. (49) Electronic Getting Away With It
Gorgeous, soaring blend of 2 outstanding vocalists.
65. (51) The Stone Roses Fool's Gold/What The World Is Waiting For
Start of the year where they were to be a dominant act.
81. (NE) Barry Manilow If I Can Dream
Didn't realise he was still doing singles, thought he was all-albums at
this time.
84. (72) Gwen Dickey Car Wash
Why did she re-release a song that she'd been lead singer of in a group? Rights issues for an advert or something like that?
98. (80) Jive Bunny And The Mastermixers Let's Party
Not normally heard in the original form due to the presence of
non-Christmas Glitter...

Ironic, given her famously shaven head at the time.
11. (15) Del Amitri Nothing Ever Happens
Remember Dad seeing this on TOTP - bloody hell a protest song!
I bet they were glad someone noticed.
20. (22) The House Of Love Shine On
From the 'Butterfly' album,
Is that the same one they call the "Fontana" album?
It's a bit of confusing discography with the untitled albums and the
multiple re-recordings of this song.
50. (42) Madonna Dear Jessie
This was a hit in summer 89 wasn't it, still hanging around? Or do I
just associate it with summer because of the feel of the track?
Yep, single released in November 1989 (though obviously the album had been out for a while) but you can see why it would be either a summer or a Christmas single really.
98. (80) Jive Bunny And The Mastermixers Let's Party
Not normally heard in the original form due to the presence of
non-Christmas Glitter...
Yes I believe the version now on Spotify is the reworked one but I
couldn't be bothered to listen to it.

Electric typewriters were very contemporary at the time I suppose, but
it does date that first verse now.

I don't know why I associate it with summer.

Don't blame you!
