No - I'm afraid that The OCC have the Top 300 of the 1980's, & they will decide when/if we can
see it. (Or part of it). The Top 400 of the 1970's is almost finished too. I hear. As is the Top 250 of the 1960's.

QUOTE(jaybird @ Apr 12 2009, 06:58 PM)  Does anybody have any sales for laura branigan " self control"? Self Control was the 30th best seller of 1984 in the year end chart published at the time. I can only guess at the sale but it must be over 300,000. |

I know cyndi laupers girls just want to have fun sold 380,000 copies and that was below that so maybe it was 390,000 copies.

Back to the 80's-I think saving all my love for you did sell over 500,000 cos it sold more than dead or alives you spin me round which sold just over 500,000.Ashford and simpsons solid also sold more than dead or alive which should put it in the top 160 of the 80's.

In my Top 300 UK Singles of the 1980's List, I have 'Save Your Love' at No.32 - 760,000.
I have 'Solid' at No.169 - 482,000. I have 'You Spin Me Round' at No.179 - 470,000. I'm sure that any of us, who tried to estimate a Top 300 of the 1980's, would come up with Lists that have different places for many Hits - and different estimated Sales.

'One Of Us' is at No.170 in my Top 300 - 480,000 Sales. I was going to estimate 520,000 Sales - which would have had it in 144th place. However, I decided to go for the lower figure. |

The MRIB compiled a top 300 selling singles of the 80's, unfortunatley I dont have the top 50. It differs considerably from the Gallup/OCC chart of the 80's. But gives an idea of what would feature in there if there was an official one.
51-300 According To MRIB Top Singles Of The 80’s 051 John Lennon - Starting Over 052 Joana Lewie - Stop The Cavalry 053 Tight Fit - Lion Sleeps Tonight 054 Madonna - Like A Virgin 055 Black Box - Ride On Time 056 John Lennon - Woman 057 Billy Ocean - When The Going Gets Tough.... 058 Chaka Khan - I Feel For You 059 Michael Jackson - One Day In Your Life 060 Bowie & Jagger - Dancing In The Street 061 Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Run The World 062 Yazz - Only Way Is Up 063 Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of The Heart 064 Barbra Streisand - Woman In Love 065 Kylie - I Should Be So Lucky 066 Black Lace - Agadoo 067 Sister Sledge - Frankie 068 Madonna - Into The Groove 069 Abba - Super Trouper 070 Berlin - Take My Breath Away 071 Boris Gardiner - I Want To Wake Up With You 072 Jive Bunny - Swing The Mood 073 Spandau Ballet - True 074 David Bowie - Let's Dance 075 Chris de Burgh - Lady In Red 076 Goombay Dance Band - Seven Tears 077 Joe Dolce - Shaddup Ya Face 078 McCartney & Wonder - Ebony & Ivory 079 Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight 080 Ottowan - D I S C O 081 T'Pau - China In Your Hand 082 Mel & Kim - Respectable 083 Foreigner - I Want To Know What Love Is 084 Whitney Houston - Saving All My Love For You 085 Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You GoGo 086 Shakin' Stevens - Green Door 087 Phylis Nelson - Move Closer 088 Phillip Bailey & Phil Collins - Easy Lover 089 Specials - Ghost Town 090 Wham! - Freedom 091 King - Love & Pride 092 Smokey Robinson - Being With You 093 Paul McCartney & The Frog Chorus - We All Stand Together 094 Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Power of Love 095 Bee Gees - You Win Again 096 Dave Stewart & Barbra Gaskin - It's My Party 097 George Michael - A Different Corner 098 Men At Work - Down Under 099 Wham - I'm Your Man 100 Roxy Music - Jealous Guy 101 Ferry Aid - Let It Be 102 Star Sound - Stars On 45 103 Shakin' Stevens - You Drive Me Crazy 104 Feargal Sharkey - A Good Heart 105 Madonna - Papa Don't Preach 106 Freeeze - IOU 107 Michael Jackson - Billie Jean 108 Ennio Morricone -Chi Mai 109 Falco - Rock Me Amadeus 110 Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls 111 Nena - 99 Red Balloons 112 Grandmaster Flash - White Lines 113 Ben E King - Stand By Me 114 Phil Collins - Against All Odds 115 Madness - Baggy Trousers 116 Jam - Town Called Malice 117 Pretenders - Brass In Pocket 118 Kim Wilde - Kids In America 119 Stranglers - Golden Brown 120 Pet Shop Boys - Always On My Mind 121 Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now 122 Whitney - I Wanna Dance With Somebody 123 Lionel Richie - All Night Long 124 Fern Kinney - Together We Are Beautiful 125 Cliff Richard - Daddy's Home 126 Abba - One of Us 127 Police - Every Breath You Take 128 Thompson Twins - Hold Me Now 129 Nolans - I'm In The Mood For Dancing 130 Kraftwerk - The Model / Computer Love 131 Shakin' Stevens - Oh Julie 132 Paul Young - Wherever I Lay My Hat 133 Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams 134 Phil Collins - You Can't Hurry Love 135 Dexy's Midnight Runners - Geno 136 Jason Donovan - Too Many Broken Hearts 137 Madness - Embarrassment 138 Adam & The Ants - Ant Rap 139 Blondie - Atomic 140 Erasure - Crackers International (EP) 141 Kajagoogoo - Too Shy 142 Madness - It Must Be Love 143 M/A/R/R/S - Pump Up The Volume 144 Duran Duran - Is There Something I Should Know?
