Here is THE Spotify playlist of all the number one singles in the UK for the year, 1989.

Stock Aitken Waterman fever hit its zenith as the producers scored SEVEN number one hits during 1989! Can you name them all?

Madonna returned after nearly two years recording and nabbed her first number one since “Who’s That Girl?” in July 1987.

A bunny rabbit annoyingly spent a total of 9 weeks at number one with ‘his’ first three singles, which were among the biggest sellers of all this year.

Black Box became the first act since Stevie Wonder in 1984 to spent six weeks at the top of the chart in August and September, and it’s hardly surprising that they were also the biggest seller of the year!

The year saw the first and only number one hits for British band Simple Minds, American girl group The Bangles, Soul II Soul and chart newcomer Lisa Stansfield.
