Lover don't go - Princess

'Lover don't go' would turn out to be the last single by Princess, released in 1989. She'd released two albums, but while the first album, recorded with Stock, Aitken & Waterman was a big success, the second album was already less successful. 

In 1989, Princess released the stand-alone single 'Lover Don't Go', which failed to chart. Her brother/manager Don alleged that the single's chart prospects were unfairly halted, after its sales were mysteriously assigned to another artist's record, causing Princess' single to miss the top 100. "On the Tuesday, the track was 108 the chart, but come Thursday, we see nothing. We hear later on it dropped to 365, and they told us that they made an error with the barcode and gave our sales to some other record. That killed the record." Her third album, 'Say It', which was slated for release in 1990, was never issued as Princess retired from the music scene and moved to the US.
