NO 104- 29 POINTS

 

A Little Peace Nicole (Voter: Gooddelta- 7 points, Last Dreamer- 22 points)- No 1 for 2 weeks in May 1982

More popular than Johnny Logan but not as popular as Bucks Fizz that’s what we can say about this Eurovision winner.

 

Goody Two Shoes Adam Ant (Voter: Riser- 28 points, AH Gold- 1 point)- No 1 for 2 weeks in June 1982

Adam’s debut solo single was a No 1 and leaves him with just 1 entry left in the rate.

 

Save Your Love Renee & Renato (Voter: Last Dreamer)- No 1 for 4 weeks in December 1982/January 1983

Another festive chart topper leaves us- this is also the highest placed “single voter” track to exit the rate!

We'll have a recap tomorrow of 101-195 plus what's left and how many points each voter still has left!
I’m surprised you didn’t give ‘Save Your Love’ the full 30 points Last Dreamer!!

Only because 30 pointer is in my all-time top 5 songs.

We'll see tomorrow if everyone's 30 pointer has made the top 100....or not
Oh wow Jordan I had no idea you were such a big fan of 'Goody Two Shoes' *.* as I said previously, I do like it and especially love what they did for the TOTP performance, but just didn't quite have enough room. 'A Little Peace' is lovely also but I prefer the German language version!

Haven't you already replied to your own question? :P

 

I'm thinking only Last Dreamer has less points left than me. :(

Edited by Jason

Someone's 30 pointer could miss the top 100 with 31 or 32 points though?

I'm glad all of mine had at least one other voter!

Oh yeah, this is true!

Last Dreamer has certainly saved many songs from getting 0 points.

 

8 songs.

29 - Save Your Love (Renee & Renato)

28 - Woman In Love (Barbara Streisand)

23 - Japanese Boy (Aneka)

9 - What's Another Year (Johnny Logan)

7 - Shuddup Ya Face (Joe Dolce)

5 - Mistletoe & Wine (Cliff Richard)

4 - Oh Julie (Shakin Stevens)

1 - Sealed With A Kiss (Jason Donovan)

 

Save Your Love I have long considered an opera hit alongside Nessun Dorma and Time To Say Goodbye, becuase I am so familiar with the chorus but yes the verses are more pop. A good #1, I may have given it a few points had I voted!

Hello Lionel Richie (Voter: Colm- 13 points, …Ready for it- 17 points)- No 1 for 6 weeks in March/April 1984

The Power Of Love Jennifer Rush (Voter: JulianT- 4 points, Colm- 25 points, Shoat- 3 points)- No 1 for 5 weeks in October/November 1985

 

zLFYuIP.jpg

 

1985’s biggest seller just misses out on the top 100, setting a record (at the time) for the longest climb to No 1 at 16 weeks. It was also the first million seller by a female soloist and last million selling single in the UK for 6 years.
