Best of 1989- Singles
Time
to put the year 1989 on display and celebrate the 30th anniversary of the year
that was closing the 80s decade. Known as the year of revolutions that
swept through the eastern block countries in Europe as well as the year
of innovations which brought the first commercial internet services.
Musically the charts were still dominated by Stock-Aitken-Waterman hits
also introducing Donna Summer to their hits factory.
The
second half of 1989 was also dominated by a growing House music
genre led by Inner City and S'Express and Italo-disco which evolved into Euro dance.
Even though the 1989 chronologically belonged to the 80s decade, it
clearly sensed the 90s spirit in all terms and the music styles that
started in late 90s eventually reached their peak points in the 90s
and beyond.

Shakespears Sister Reunion
Shakespears Sisters are back. It seems that the ladies have patched up their differences which are dating back to the early 90's when they were having a career peak and broke up shortly afterwards. After 25 years the duo have reunited and written music together and to mark this occasion the duo will release a compilation entitled 'Singles Party (1988 – 2019)', which rounds up all their 45s together. Two new tracks are included in this compilation- ‘All The Queen’s Horses’ and ‘C U Next Tuesday.’ The band are also touring the UK this winter.
Retrovision: Shakespears Sister- Stay
Twenty years ago Shakespears Sister had their biggest hit in the UK with their song "Stay". It is one of the longest running UK number ones in UK chart history (8 weeks), and the longest by an all-female group or duo. The video for the song was directed by Sophie Muller whose concept was inspired by the film 'Cat Women of the Moon'. The video featured Detroit and Fahey fighting over a comatose man. The video won Best Video at the 1993 Music Week Awards and Brit Awards. The epic promo was featured in the Top 100 Music Videos of all time by Channel 4.
To prove its longevity, in early November 2010, "Stay" re-entered the charts in the UK, Ireland and the European Hot 100 Singles.
Shakespears Sister- Dancing Barefoot
Shakespears Sister have announced that their new single will be a cover of none other than the Bananarama classic "Really Saying Something"(a digital-only release).This version will mark the 30th anniversary of the song which is a live version performed on Shakespears Sister's 2010 tour and taken from the band's forthcoming live album. The new Shakespears Sister EP 'Dancing Barefoot' is also up for sale through website's digital store. It is a four track EP and it includes "Dancing Barefoot", a Patti Smith cover and an early alternate version of "A Man In Uniform". The other half of the Shakespears Sister and former member of the band Marcela Detrorit is also working on new material.
