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.
