December 23, 20213 yr So we haven't yet lost a track which got all its points from 1 voter and was placed in that voters top 10. That will be happening today.... Oops at this including me! Ridicule is nothing to be scared of at least... Poor 'Prince Charming' :cry: I really needed Suedehead to vote in this!
December 23, 20213 yr Always enjoyed ‘Stand and Deliver’ and his solo No1 more than this. Adam and the Ants is a strange one for me, huge but for quite a short time frame. Also, are they considered as a new romantic band? Separate from the others bands of the era they didn’t really use synths to create the sounds, probably a good thing in terms of uniqueness!
December 23, 20213 yr I Know Him So Well, its a decent song but it kept King - Love and Pride from #1 which is a bop :( Prince Charming I would have given points to had I voted. :( Edited December 23, 20213 yr by Snakin' Stevens
December 23, 20213 yr Aw at losing Chaka Khan and Adam and the Ants. I did dress up as Adam Ant to a fancy dress 1980s themed night, pictures exist unfortunately - so that's kompromat! Prince Charming is great, I am amazed I didn’t vote for it :o Oh my! Especially as you are the dandy*highwayman.
December 23, 20213 yr I'm quite stunned that 'Goody Two Shoes' has outperformed it tbh ('Stand and Deliver' to be the highest of the three please!)
December 23, 20213 yr I love ‘Goody Two Shoes’ lol love the lyrics and the way it has a go at the media in it!
December 23, 20213 yr Oh yeah not bashing it, I like it too and especially the TOTP performance, but I expected it to be the least popular of the three Adam songs on here so colour me surprised Also - Halloween costume goals Doctor B *.*
December 23, 20213 yr Oh I know, yeh that performance was class! But your right when thinking about it you would think his Adam and the Ants songs would have done better.
December 24, 20213 yr Author NO 114- 23 POINTS Japanese Boy Aneka (Voter: Last Dreamer)- No 1 for 1 week in August 1981 Not from Japan but Edinburgh, and not called Aneka but Mary…probably not a song you could do in the same way in 2021. I Just Called To Say I Love You Stevie Wonder (Voter: West- 6 points, Jimwatts- 17 points)- No 1 for 6 weeks in September/October 1984 A million seller and the last song to spend 6 weeks or more at No 1 for 5 years. Also Wonder’s sole UK No 1 Lady In Red Chris De Burgh (Voter: Jackjones- 10 points, …Ready For It- 7 points, Gezza- 4 points, Last Dreamer- 2 points)- No 1 for 3 weeks in August 1986 One of Princess Di’s favourite records apparently and the first exit to get 4 voters You'll Never Stop Me Loving You Sonia (Voter: Nina West- 4 points, Jason- 19 points)- No 1 for 2 weeks in July 1989 S/A/W helmed 18 year old Sonia Evans to the top in the hot summer of 89.
December 24, 20213 yr Surprised at how well Sonia did to be honest, it’s a stereotypical SAW single but it’s good and catchy so hey! Really like the Chris de Burgh song, feels like his only hit apart from the Christmas one. Like the Stevie Wonder song but now where near his best.

December 24, 20213 yr Lady In Red is too saccharine but I like a couple of his later singles, Missing You from 88 and Separate Tables from the early 90s Never understood the appeal of Sonia + the quality of the SAW songs had started to drop drastically
December 24, 20213 yr Yep - the one about the spaceman came travelling - it’s rubbish! I had totally forgotten about that one!
December 24, 20213 yr Hey, A Spaceman Came Travelling is wonderful! :arrr: (Lady in Red is not tho x)
December 24, 20213 yr I had totally forgotten about that one! I kinda thought you were joking me there lol! Yeh I love ‘A Spaceman Came Travelling’!
