January 31, 20223 yr Pleasantly surprised to see Belinda Carlisle make it this far, I have a soft spot for quite a few of her singles but I wasn't expecting her to be fighting it out for top 10
January 31, 20223 yr Author NO 12- 269 POINTS 99 Red Balloons Nena (Voter: Rabbitfurcoat- 3 points, Jade- 11 points, Doctor Blind- 10 points, Fiesta- 5 points, West- 23 points, Riser- 18 points, Chez Wombat- 25 points, Danvember- 27 points, n4yr- 20 points, Nina West- 30 points, Jason- 21 points, Gooddelta- 15 points, …Ready for it- 19 points, *Dandy- 5 points, Bjork- 1 point, Leonardo- 12 points, Shoat- 16 points, Jester- 8 points)- No 1 for 3 weeks in March 1984 The rate record is broken with 18 voters including 30 points from Nina West. This is our favourite chart topper of 1984 g7EmLiFWeI8
January 31, 20223 yr Author NO 11- 283 POINTS Ride On Time Black Box (Voter: Rabbitfurcoat- 12 points, Doctor Blind- 7 points, Fiesta- 12 points, Steve201- 15 points, Donnahjaneymack- 27 points, Chez Wombat- 30 points, AH Gold- 24 points, Danvember- 30 points, Colm- 27 points, Jason- 25 points, *Dandy- 25 points, Leonardo- 29 points, Shoat- 20 points)- No 1 for 6 weeks in September/ October 1989 And the second most popular chart topper of 1989 just misses out on the top 10. It was placed in the top 10 of 8 voters including maximum points from Chez Wombat and Danvember- and obviously Heather Small’s biggest hit…. M0quXl_od3g Oddly the numerous appearances on TOTP for the track have all been removed....

January 31, 20223 yr 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth' is okay but the rest of that top 10 😍 can definitely believe I'm at the top of that list! '99 Red Balloons' <3 great to see it getting points from such a wide range of posters! 'Ride On Time' was one of the last songs I cut :(
January 31, 20223 yr Agree with Jade - even though I only fitted 5 of them into my votes I could quite happily have voted for 9 of the 10.
January 31, 20223 yr I think I voted for 8 of them but the other 2 were pretty high in my commiserations list so that's a great looking final 10. I voted for 13 of the top 15 also so that's even better ^_^
January 31, 20223 yr Triple PSB in the top 10! :o I didn't vote for those last couple of eliminations, though both are good songs and the German original "neun und neunzig Luftballons" scans so much better (we Brits do shoot ourselves in the foot by refusing to accept foreign language hits sometimes). Of the three I didn't vote for in the top 10, one was the last I cut alongside House Of Fun and the other two are decent even if a little higher than I expected.
January 31, 20223 yr 99 Red Balloons and Ride On Time are both great high energy bops! I thought Ride On Time would have made our top 10 here.
January 31, 20223 yr Ooft two absolutely fantastic songs before the top 10! 99 Red Balloons is a classic in either English or German, it could've been a number of songs getting my 30 depending on the day, but I just love the production and screechy energy of Ride on Time, RAAHDONTAAAAHM, RAARARAADONTAAAHM *.*.* A lot of my big favourites have fallen so I'm not surprised to be down low on the overall points list, but it's a great top 10, just a lot weren't at the tip-top of my favourites. Very pleasantly surprised to see A-ha that high though, I had no idea that had such a following on here.
January 31, 20223 yr Sad day for me today. 2 of my faves leaving just missing out on top 10. :( Well, at least my top 2 is still to come. I can understand why 9 songs are top 10 (even if I'm not a big fan of some of them) but Belinda Carlisle is the most overrated act left, her song doesn't deserve to be top 10 imo. -_-
January 31, 20223 yr Nice surprise to see Belinda top 10 I think there are better similar pop songs that deserved it more like Whitney or Into the Groove but not complaining Personally the less undeserved is Aha, ok song but not a patch on Take on Me Wouldnt even have placed it top 30 And I also wouldnt have included Abba, not a fan
January 31, 20223 yr Two brilliant songs. 99 Red Balloons is such a great song. Nena deserves another UK hit or two. Ride on Time is amazing. I used to annoy the hell out of my family playing it. Didn't know about Heather Small's involvement though.
January 31, 20223 yr It was Loleatta Holloway sample but they didn't get the clearance and just put it out anyway which got them into big trouble so that's where Heather Small came in to rerecord the vocal
