The Ultimate 1980s Top 40 Reshuffle Rate - Part 3

A few years ago, many "Ultimate" retro Top 40 rates took place. I completed the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s and started the 00s. I decided to take a bit of a break for a couple of months which turned into a couple of years. So, I think it's time to pick up where I left off. The 00s Top 40 rates will re-start next year (I'm in the process of listing every Top 40 hit still). In the meantime, let's add some more tracks to the Buzzjack Retro Top 40 Hall Of Fame which, so far, is home to these:

A-ha - Take On Me
Black Box - Ride On Time
Dionne Warwick - Walk On By
Donna Summer - I Feel Love
Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights
Madonna - Frozen
Madonna - Ray Of Light
The Source ft Candi Staton - You Got The Love

To do this, it's back to the old rates. First up was the 1990s where Madonna's 1998 No.1 Frozen was declared the winner, and becomes the 8th inductee. Next up, it's the 1980s, and the tracks which came third in their respective rates.
