    Ah here!

    I suggested the red so we could see the results, because some people were posting their votes in the same format as Kolido

    Now people are still copying Kolido! :(

    Right - time to start using strikethrough.

    Well I don't know about others, but Kolido's posts looked like a lot of other posters' to me, so the red was to differentiate the results from the votes is all.

    T’Pau, China in Your Hand
    Marti Webb, Take That Look off Your Face
    Human League, Mirror Man but very hard to think what anything by Human League wouldn’t beat.
    Kylie, Locomotion. Neither are fantastic, in my opinion.

    Status Quo In the Army Now. Fun fact, the original version was sung by a Dutch duo called Bolland & Bolland, who co-wrote Rock Me Amadeus, which destroyed Enya in an earlier round. :)

    From what's gone ahead so far, I would definitely be of the opinion that most of the music I liked in the 80s did not make it to number one. :pac:

    Yeah probably me too. I was more of a shoe gazer. Cure, Smiths, The The etc.
    But now that I'm older I appreciate the cheese for the happy boppy tunes they were :D

    I think the majority of my favourite 80s tunes did not get a sniff at Number One in either the UK or Ireland. :D There are some honourable exceptions of course!
