Hi. Astonished to only find this now. I've been compiling my own charts since I was 9 in 1979. Started out as a top 10 and has been a top 40 since 1981 (ish).
My main taste is pop, but even I cringe at some of the number ones I had back in the 80s and since!
Most of the threads I've seen concern current charts, so I'm not sure if anyone's interested in charts going back 35 years but I'll start anyway!
My number ones from the beginning....
I also devised a sales system similar to the real charts rather than use points
1979
8 Sep LOVE'S GOTTA HOLD ON ME Dollar (2 weeks)
My first number one! Liked Dollar at the time and bought this single. I only bought about 10 singles a year, so I must have liked it. An okay song now, but a bit sugary sweet. Still, not a bad first number one.
Beat: Gotta Go Home by Boney M
Don't Bring me Down by ELO (at No.2 first and second weeks)
22 Sep ON STAGE EP Kate Bush (4 weeks)
Another single I bought. Was just getting into Kate Bush then (still am a big fan). Got The Kick Inside a few months later and still to this day cannot get used to the studio version of Them Heavy People (the lead track on this EP)
Beat: Love's Gotta Hold on Me Dollar (1 week)
Dreaming Blondie (3 weeks)
20 Oct GIMME GIMME GIMME Abba (5 weeks)
Big Abba fan and certainly they ruled the charts for the first year and a half. This is one of their classics and my first million-seller.
Beat: On Stage Kate Bush (2 weeks)
Tusk Fleetwood Mac (3 weeks)
24 Nov NO MORE TEARS Donna Summer and Barbra Streisand (1 week)
An okay song. Quite liked Donna Summer at the time but had never heard of Streisand. Just one week.
Beat: Last Train to London/Confusion ELO
1 Dec I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND Dollar (3 weeks)
Back to Dollar with a reasonable Beatles cover. Bought this too.
Beat: Union City Blue Blondie (2 weeks)
I Have a Dream Abba (1 week)
22 Dec I HAVE A DREAM Abba (4 weeks)
My least favourite Abba single ever! Certainly doesn't deserve 4 weeks or even number one at all but at the time anything with Abba attatched to it would get to number one.
Beat: I Want to Hold Your Hand Dollar (three weeks)
Union City Blue Blondie (1 week)
1980
19 Jan I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND Dollar (1 week)
Since it took so long to reach the UK top 10, this went back for a week and in doing so sold way too much! (Wasn't concerned with sales or points at the time). Million seller
Beat: I Have a Dream Abba
26 Jan SPACER Sheila and B. Devotion (2 weeks)
Charts were pretty bleak for the first few months of 1980 with not a lot in the charts. This is OK just!
Beat: Spirits (Having Flown) The Bee Gees (2 weeks)
9 Feb I'M IN THE MOOD FOR DANCING The Nolans (1 week)
Oh dear. I liked the Nolans, but not one of their best in my opinion.
Beat: Someone's Looking at You The Boomtown Rats
16 Feb ANGELS Lene Lovich (1 week)
Still one of my least favourite number ones. Not sure what I was thinking about that week! I like her earlier hit Say When, but this was pretty poor and a flop in the real charts (the first time one of my number ones didn't make the real charts but not the last)!
Beat: Someone's Looking at You The Boomtown Rats
23 Feb TAKE THAT LOOK OFF YOUR FACE Marti Webb (3 weeks)
Still a great song. The first single I bought of the 80s. Million seller

1981
10 Jan LOVE ON THE ROCKS Neil Diamond (1 week)
Another song I very briefly liked. Not as bad as Village People though
Beat: Imagine John Lennon
17 Jan FLASH Queen (2 weeks)
Nothing against Queen, but this remains the all-time worst song to reach number one in my charts! It simply had no tune and is barely a song at all. Amazing that this would occur in 1981 which is probably my favourite year ever in music.

Beat: VIDEOTHEQUE - Dollar
Slightly unusual No.1 for me, but it obviously captured everyone's imagination at the time.
Beat: NOW THOSE DAYS ARE GONE - Bucks Fizz
Another unusual one, but just a week

Hiya!
quite a few of your early chart years have a large number of overlap with mine, and good to see there's more than one Bucks Fizz fan on buzz jack!
cheers!
john
Yes, 20 releases, 20 number ones. Still a record.
Thanks for commenting.
Michael, can you post any 80s weekly charts here or in retro part of forum ?
So 3 allSTARS* singles were # 1 hits in your chart.
Which peak position "Best Friends" had ?
