Five Star - Find The Time Lionel Richie - Dancing On The Ceiling Duran Duran - Notorious Swing Out Sister - Surrender Michael Crawford/Sarah Brightman - The Music Of The Night/Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again Bruce Willis - Respect Yourself Terence Trent D'Arby - If You Let Me Stay Erasure - Victim Of Love Curiosity Killed The Cat - Misfit Mel & Kim - F.L.M Boogie Box High - Jive Talkin' Sisters Of Mercy - This Corrosion Fatback Band - I Found Lovin' Billy Idol - Mony Mony (Live) Stranglers - All Day & All Of The Night Joyce Sims - Come Into My Life Dollar - O L'Amour Debbie Gibson - Shake Your Love Jermaine Stewart - Say It Again Eddy Grant - Gimme Hope Jo'anna Taja Sevelle - Love Is Contagious Eighth Wonder - I'm Not Scared Prefab Sprout - The King Of Rock 'N' Roll Mica Paris - My One Tempation Fairground Attraction - Find My Love Yello - The Race Pet Shop Boys - Domino Dancing Kim Wilde - Never Trust A Stranger Four Tops - Loco In Acapulco Robert Howard & Kym Mazelle - Wait Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine - Can't Stay Away From You Fine Young Cannibals - Good Thing Roxette - The Look Donna Summer - I Don't Wanna Get Hurt Cyndi Lauper - I Drove All Night Queen - Breakthru' Shakespear's Sister - You're History Beatmasters ft Betty Boo - Hey DJ I Can't Dance (To That Music You're Playing) Damian - The Time Warp Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire Martika - I Feel The Earth Move Because I'm so kind and thoughtful, you have a choice. You can vote for 20 tracks, the voting of which looks like this: +20 +19 +18 +17 +16 +15 +14 +13 +12 +11 +10 +9 +8 +7 +6 +5 +4 +3 +2 +1 or if you can only do 10 tracks, you can vote like this: +20 +18 +16 +14 +12 +10 +8 +6 +4 +2 And if you wish to add a -1, you are free to do so. Hopefully, this will get more than two people doing this. You have roughly a week or so before we move on to the next part, where a random chart position will be drawn. Enjoy.

Some very interesting results so far! The track I thought would be the runaway winner is currently in 6th place, while two of the top three have surprised me greatly!
Just three points separate the top three at the moment, so it's anyone's game. Thanks to all have voted so far. Just a couple of days left to vote before results are announced and we move on to the next one This post has been edited by AH Gold: May 16 2015, 06:11 PM |

and out of nowhere, we have a new leader
Results / Next rate will begin shortly (was going to be Monday but selfish work has demanded my presence over the next two days - i.e my two days off ), so if any late voters fancy causing a few upsets, then you don't have long... This post has been edited by AH Gold: May 16 2015, 06:35 PM |

And earlier than planned, here's the results. The next rate will determine the best No.14 UK hit of the '80s (there's more well known tracks than you might think! and that rate will last a bit longer than this one - until Friday 22nd May to be precise) But before all that, what's the best No.7 UK hit of the 1980s?
Thanks to the 11 who voted (roughly 10 more than I expected, so hoorah!). But first, let's take pity on those which didn't get any votes at all: Lambrettas - Poison Ivy Rodney Franklin - The Groove The Beat - Too Nice To Talk To Yarbrough & Peoples - Don't Stop The Music Reo Speedwagon - Keep On Loving You Jacksons - Walk Right Now Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills Hot Chocolate - Girl Crazy Stranglers - Strange Little Girl Spandau Ballet - Lifeline Kajagoogoo - Ooh To Be Ah Joboxers - Just Got Lucky Modern Romance - Walking In The Rain George Benson - In Your Eyes Cliff Richard - Please Don't Fall In Love Kool & The Gang - (When You Say You Love Somebody) In The Heart Flying Pickets - When You're Young And In Love Alvin Stardust - I Feel Like Buddy Holly Howard Jones - Pearl In The Shell Elton John - Sad Songs (Say So Much) Status Quo - The Wanderer Alvin Stardust - I Won't Run Away Gary Glitter - Another Rock And Roll Christmas Amii Stewart - Knock On Wood/Light My Fire (Remixes) Arcadia - Election Day Doug E Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew - The Show Culture Club - Move Away Hollywood Beyond - What's The Colour Of Money? Five Star - Find The Time Swing Out Sister - Surrender Bruce Willis - Respect Yourself Curiosity Killed The Cat - Misfit Billy Idol - Mony Mony (Live) Stranglers - All Day & All Of The Night Dollar - O L'Amour Jermaine Stewart - Say It Again Taja Sevelle - Love Is Contagious Queen - Breakthru' Never mind eh? These lot DID get votes though: 2. Abba - Lay All Your Love On Me 87 3. Olivia Newton John - Physical 85 4. Eighth Wonder - I'm Not Scared 80 5. Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel - White Lines (Don't Do It) 76 6. Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire 75 7. Kirsty MacColl - A New England 73 8. Pet Shop Boys - Domino Dancing 67 9.

Thanks again all. Who will join Prefab Sprout in the Final Top 40? We'll find out this time next week The Ultimate 80s Top 40: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

That is a generally brilliant top 10, great taste everyone!
Very happy with that result, it's one of those tracks that you know instantly and has a quirkiness about it that a lot of the best things from the 80s have. |
