Ah crap, I lost track of the time and didn't get around to voting. Would have been another vote for The Joker anyway, any villain despicable enough to dispatch Hans Gruber is a worthy winner. Thanks for another great game Kolido, it was really good fun.

Great Tournament Kolido, a worthy villain winner played by many in different films, a role that produced two Oscar winners

I think I will go by decades, at least 80s and 90s

These are about 1600 songs in the whole list so to ask people to nominate 10 from that is a lot of work for everyone.

Those two decades have around 200 songs each so I will get full contest out of each. Hopefully there will be enough interest in it, should have a thread up soon enough.

No need to PM 10 songs, I will be using all the songs that topped the Irish charts during the 80s. I have counted 190 in total though I will double check that.

Can we go back to 1977

Can we include #2's ? Is there a list of annual sales ?

Here's another list

And more lists

There's lots of album tracks that may not have charted.

Will stick with the 80s chart toppers for this one

There are actually 235, I had counted the UK charts instead of the Irish initially

Lots of cross between both as you would imagine.

That is another contest I had thought about, greatest album track, could be one for another day.
