I've no idea where you got these lists from, but I question your source.

For example in the official year end chart for 1988 compiled by Gallup, Belinda Carlisle was at number 17 and Erasure at 24. There is no way the latter could have been no 9 for the year, with Crackers International having only been on sale for the last month of the year. Similarly, Krush were officially only 36 for the year (to suggest they were one of the top 20 sellers is laughable)

Similarly in 1986, Reet Petite was 17 according to Gallup which is certainly a more believable position than no 4 having only been released in December, and the Housemartins were 2 places lower.

As for Madonna's Borderline, it certainly would have sold in 1984 having reached no 56 on original release.

Unfortunately people will look at these lists as assume say, that Human League had the year's best selling single for 1981 when Soft Cell did. You know that and I know that, but there's a lot people out there will take this info at face value & assume it to be correct!

It might have been better just do a list of the best sellers of each decade rather than confusing some people.......

Some people would of stopped & thought & then asked, instead of jumping in feet first. It's quite obvious they aren't year end charts, as explained. People are more interested in complete figures. Not just year end figures, where many singles crossed over into 2 years aka "Don't You Want Me". Which is actually called 1981's biggest shipment i.e. it shipped a million by the end of December. You sound a bit petty to me. sick2.gif

For the 70s, I've noted the sales in the year end published charts ie in this case "8th" is the cut off w/k ending date, that was used in the published year end chart.

1979 (BMRB x20)

01 Art Garfunkel - Bright Eyes 1.049400
02 Blondie - Heart Of Glass 867,000, 896,000 by 1987 (Record Business give it 1.080000 & award it best selling single of 1979, in contrast BPI give it a platinum disc, whether or not it sold a million in 1979, is still open to question & depends on the equation of who polled what shop, but then Record Business always favoured Blondie more in the Independant sector) 9000 in 1980, re-issued in 1987, with 20,000, 35,000 in 1991, 932,000 in a BMRB/Gallup figuring
03 Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall (799,000 in 1979) 967,000 in 1979/80. 808 without the missed week
04 Cliff Richard - We Don't Talk Anymore 850,000 in 1979, 880,000 including a 1982 re-release
05 Ian Dury & The Blockheads - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick 821,000 1978/79 9,000 in 1980 making it 830,000 (855 with the 1985 & 1991 versions) Record Business give it 928,000. It obviously sold better in the Independant shops.
06 Dr Hook - When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman 832 (842 with the 1992 re-issue)
dr hook 807 5th Jan (822 with the missed week)
ian dury 787 without the missed week
07 Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays 775,000 (Record Business put it above Cliff Richard in their 1979 chart. Again, the Independant shops preferred Bob Geldof to Cliff) (855,000 shipped) 785,000 with a 1988 re-issue & 795,000 with a 1994 re-issue
dr hook 8th 737
08 Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive 736,000, 766,000 by 1984 930,000 with the 1993 re-mix
09 Tubeway Army - Are 'Friends' Electric 735,000 (766,000 with the 1985 Live version, 772,000 with a 1990 re-issue (792,000 with a 2008 Picture disc)
10 Lena Martell - One Day At A Time 725,000 with the 1980 sales (705,000 in 1979) a 1983 re-issue gives it a total of 735,000, but it was originally released in October 1977 clocking up nearly 6 months in the top 200, without making the top 75. So, infact 750,000 sales
11 Roxy Music - Dance Away 713,000 (shipped 750,000)
ian dury 1979 702
lena 5th Jan 696
12 Blondie - Sunday Girl 675,000 (shipped 750,000)
lena 8th 672
pink Floyd 5th Jan 640
13 The Police - Message In A Bottle 616,280 617
14 M - Pop Muzik 611,000
Ian Dury was here in the BMRB list for 1979. It was an error
15 Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Oliver's Army 590,000
16 The Bee Gees - Tragedy 587,000
17 Abba - I Have A Dream 5th Jan 280 400,000 in 1979 535,000 in the 79/80 run (547,000 by 1989)
18 Abba - Chiquitita 534,620 (548,000 by 1989)
19 The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star 532,000
20 Gary Numan - Cars 531,000 (590,000 with the 1987 version & 635,000 with 1990s re-mixes)
Sad Cafe - Every Day Hurts (a mistake by BMRB, where they have 25055, but it is actually 20555. So, they've givenit 90,000 extra sales, which it never really had)
27 The Police - Walking On The Moon 5th Jan 440 470,000 in 1979 (520,000 with 1980 & awarded a gold disc)
21 Pretenders - Brass In Pocket 135,000 in 1979 (500,000 in the 79/80 run)

1978 (BMRB x20) By the way the Radio One chart of the year in 1978, covered the w/k ending dates 14th Jan - 16th Dec 1978. Strangely & unusual the other chart of the year that appeared covered 14th Jan 78 to 6th Jan 79 (but of course didn't include the missed 30th Dec 78 week). This seems to be the only occasion when BMRB covered, a near full year i.e. 51 weeks.

The following compilation takes in those hanger overs from 1977 to 78 & those from 1978 to 79.

01 Boney M - Rivers Of Babylon 1.151 before it was flipped over 1.627191 in total
02 John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John - You're The One That I Want 1.626600
03 Boney M - Mary's Boy Child-Oh My Lord (Medley) 1.188
04 John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John - Summer Nights 1.137
05 The Village People - Y.M.C.A 1.0 (1.000440 in Record Business)
06 The Commodores - Three Times A Lady 785,000 (811,000 according to Record Business, but they didn't have "Dreadlock Holiday" at #1 in it's run)
07 Father Abraham & The Smurfs - The Smurf Song 781,000 (shipped 850,000)
mary's boy child 23rd 780

1976 (BMRB x17) Of course based on Panel sales, but just look at the difference compared to the shipments. Which really says the x17 that BMRB used was a fraction too high at times.

3 Save Your Kisses For Me Brotherhood of Man 1,002,711 983 (the confusion bit. Showaddywady & Rod Stewart finish above it. BMRB confirm it, so how do shipments put it ahead of both?!)
