Number one
hits of 1988
Two years after their debut single which was their
first UK number one the pet shop boys chalked up their third chart
topping success with you are always on my mind. You were always
on my mind already had chart runs with Willie Nelson and the King.
The pet shop boys, again took pole position with 'Heart' a dance
remix 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 the unstoppable hit making machine
that was Stock, Aitkin and Waterman. By accident in 1988 we noticed
that if you played a 33rpm recording of Rick Astley at 45rpm it
sounded quite 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.
