December 27, 20213 yr Author 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!
December 27, 20213 yr Author We'll have a recap tomorrow of 101-195 plus what's left and how many points each voter still has left!
December 27, 20213 yr I’m surprised you didn’t give ‘Save Your Love’ the full 30 points Last Dreamer!!
December 27, 20213 yr 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.
December 27, 20213 yr Author We'll see tomorrow if everyone's 30 pointer has made the top 100....or not
December 27, 20213 yr 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!
December 27, 20213 yr NO 104- 29 POINTS 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 see tomorrow if everyone's 30 pointer has made the top 100....or not Haven't you already replied to your own question? :P I'm thinking only Last Dreamer has less points left than me. :( Edited December 27, 20213 yr by Jason
December 27, 20213 yr 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!
December 27, 20213 yr Goody Two Shoes is the best one out of those three. Last Dreamer has certainly saved many songs from getting 0 points.
December 27, 20213 yr Someone's 30 pointer could miss the top 100 with 31 or 32 points though? Oh yeah, this is true!
December 27, 20213 yr 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)
December 27, 20213 yr 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! Edited December 27, 20213 yr by Auld Lang Snake
December 28, 20213 yr Author NO 103- 30 POINTS Hello Lionel Richie (Voter: Colm- 13 points, …Ready for it- 17 points)- No 1 for 6 weeks in March/April 1984 Equally famous for THAT video but this was also Richie’s sole UK Number one as a soloist
December 28, 20213 yr Author NO 102- 31 POINTS La Bamba Los Lobos (Voter: Fiesta- 2 points, Riser- 4 points, Gooddelta- 4 points, Shoat- 21 points)- No 1 for 2 weeks in August 1987 Second No 1 of the decade to be sung entirely in Spanish
December 28, 20213 yr Author NO 101- 32 POINTS 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 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.
