Posted June 2, 20178 yr danG, PeteFromLeeds and awardinary presents... We're back! The return of the 'Ultimate' series is here, and this time we will be pitting most of the songs unlucky enough to miss the top ten by one place together in a race to find which song deserved a top ten peak the most. Every #11 peaking single from 1980-2016 will be included in the group stages. There are eight groups altogether and two groups will be open each week for the next four weeks. Simply vote for your top ten songs from the list below. The top five from each group will qualify to the final, and the rest of the top 10 will qualify to the wildcard round. If you wish to remind yourselves of the following songs, most of them are on the following Spotify playlist (thanks to The Hit Parade for compiling). 1980 Queen – Save Me 1980 Air Supply – All Out Of Love 1981 Depeche Mode – New Life 1982 Blondie – Island Of Lost Souls 1983 Joan Armatrading – Drop The Pilot 1983 Rolling Stones – Undercover Of The Night 1984 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark – Talking Loud And Clear 1985 Dead Or Alive – Lover Come Back To Me 1986 Public Image Ltd – Rise 1986 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark – (Forever) Live And Die 1987 Cameo – Back And Forth 1988 Bangles – Hazy Shade Of Winter 1988 Four Tops – Reach Out I'll Be There (Remix) 1989 Karyn White – Superwoman 1990 Rita Macneil – Working Man 1991 Rozalla – Faith (In The Power Of Love) 1992 Prodigy – Fire/Jericho 1993 Pm Dawn – Looking Through Patient Eyes 1993 INXS – The Gift 1994 Let Loose – Seventeen 1995 Reef – Naked 1995 Saint Etienne (feat.
