1 The Human League - Don't You Want Me

2 Bucks Fizz - The Land Of Make Believe

3 Adam & The Ants - Ant Rap

6 Madness - It Must Be Love

11 Altered Images - I Could Be Happy

13 Rod Stewart - Young Turks

16 Duran Duran - My Own Way

21 Kim Wilde - Cambodia

31 Earth Wind & Fire -Let's Groove

32 Fun Boy Three - The Lunatics (Have Taken Over The Asylum)

33 Kraftwerk- The Model / Computer Love

40 The Pretenders - I Go To Sleep

 

17 The Tweets - The Birdie Song (Birdie Dance)

 

The work of the devil. Hated it as a child and still hate it today. I remember being about 3 and someone played this and I covered my ears and sulked. :(

 

24 Julio Iglesias -Begin The Beguine (Volver A Empezar)

 

I can't believe this got to no. 1 - sounds like the type of song that'd go top 30 on a quiet week. Had Julio done some promotional work for the song? Can't believe this was so popular it topped the UK chart in 1981.

Songs I like from the top 40 and my personal "classics" in bold.

 

1 The Human League - Don't You Want Me

2 Bucks Fizz - The Land Of Make Believe

5 Abba - One Of Us

6 Madness - It Must Be Love

8 Kool & The Gang - Get Down On It

28 Meat Loaf - Dead Ringer For Love

31 Earth Wind & Fire -Let's Groove

33 Kraftwerk- The Model

35 Queen & David Bowie - Under Pressure

37 Olivia Newton-John - Physical
