March 18, 20196 yr Author 48. Art Garfunkel - Bright Eyes 44 pts Writer - Mike Batt Top points - Chez Wombat 24,King Rollo 20 This is one of the most beautiful songs to get to no.1 and should really have received more than two votes. It was the best selling single of 1979 and spent six weeks at the top of the chart. Mike Batt is best known for writing and singing several hits by The Wombles,he also wrote 'A Winter's Tale' for David Essex. This was the second of two solo no.1s for Art Garfunkel. He had no other top 30 singles. cGyQmH9NZcw
March 18, 20196 yr Chez,your scores didn't change which songs qualified so I will be able to include your vote. :) Thank you! I'm glad I at least gave Bright Eyes a boost but what a DISGRACE at that position, one of the saddest, beautiful songs ever :(

March 19, 20196 yr Author 45. Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me 92pts Writers - Roy Hay,Boy George,Mikey Craig,Jon Moss Top points - AH Gold 25,Jester 16,Chapman 13,marcinjaro 13 Boy George created quite a media stir when he first performed this song on Top Of The Pops. It wasn't the group's first single,their first two failed to reach the top 75 and this was their last chance to get an album deal. It's a mixture of several different musical styles and certainly much better than their other no.1 'Karma Chameleon'. 2nXGPZaTKik

March 20, 20196 yr Author 39. Nizlopi - JCB 123pts Writers - Luke Concannon,John Parker Top points - Wall 23,JackJones 21,dobbo 20 I wasn't expecting this to be from 2005,I thought it would be more recent than that. It reached no.1 a week before Christmas and was denied the Christmas no.1 by Shayne Ward's 'That's My Goal'. Nizlopi were a duo named after a Hungarian girl one of them had a crush on at school. They have since split up,reformed and split up again. rGkseGFQLh4

I think most of you prefer her earlier songs to her more recent no.1s. This is only the second time I have heard this song and the first time I have watched the video.
