October 26, 20213 yr A shame a lot of the Halloween classics these days were never actually Halloween number 1s, I suppose it's not as widely celebrated as Christmas. The Fly seems the only one properly appropriate to the season, and maybe Meat Loaf to an extent (there are ofc. many that are scary in a different way x)
October 26, 20213 yr Some great songs in that list! These are my favourites I could see: 1960: Roy Orbison - Only The Lonely 1961: Helen Shapiro - Walking Back To Happiness 1963: Gerry And The Pacemakers - You’ll Never Walk Alone 1964: Sandie Shaw - (There’s) Always Something There To Remind Me 1966: The Four Tops - Reach Out I’ll Be There 1967: The Bee Gees - Massachusetts 1968: Mary Hopkin - Those Were The Days 1977: ABBA - The Name Of The Game 1978: John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John - Summer Nights 1980: Barbra Streisand - Woman In Love 1981: Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin - It’s My Party 1982: Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me 1983: Billy Joel - Uptown Girl 1984: Wham! - Freedom 1987: The Bee Gees - You Win Again 1988: Enya - Orinoco Flow 1992: Boyz II Men - End Of The Road 1993: Meat Loaf - I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That) 1994: Pato Banton - Baby Come Back 1995: Coolio ft. LV - Gangsta’s Paradise 1996: Spice Girls - Say You’ll Be There 1997: Aqua - Barbie Girl 1998: Cher - Believe 1999: Five - Keep On Movin’ 2000: Spice Girls - Holler/Let Love Lead The Way 2002: Nelly ft.

October 26, 20213 yr My favourite and one of my all-time Top 5 songs is Mississippi by Pussycat from 1976.
October 26, 20213 yr I’d Do Anything for Love is probably the most Halloween-like for some reason Well the video is very Halloweeny
October 27, 20213 yr Cheryl holding three record for the Halloween #1s three in a row!! 👻 🎃 (well 2 in a row technically!). Are spice girls and Cheryl the only acts to have two? Edited October 27, 20213 yr by spiceboy
October 27, 20213 yr Cheryl holding three record for the Halloween #1s three in a row!! (well 2 in a row technically!). Are spice girls and Cheryl the only acts to have two? And Emeli Sandé and Frankie Laine. Not that the Halloween number one has any relevance to anything :lol: Edited October 27, 20213 yr by Mangø
