Posted August 27, 20222 yr We've discovered our favourite No 1 of both the 80s and 90s so surely this is the next step? Those songs that missed out by a single spot on hitting the top- some thankfully and some a great injustice! So what's the options? here's the list- a full 198 of them! Get Up!

Again if a song peaked at No 1 in another decade then it won't be included here. The video embedded does NOT include all the tracks on the list (normally double a-sides they've missed) How Do I Vote: Simples- send me your votes by PM in the following format 30 pts- Your favourite! 29 pts- 28 pts- 27 pts- 26 pts- 25 pts- 24 pts- 23 pts- 22 pts- 21 pts- 20 pts- 19 pts- 18 pts- 17 pts- 16 pts- 15 pts- 14 pts- 13 pts- 12 pts- 11 pts- 10pts- 9 pts- 8 pts- 7 pts- 6 pts- 5 pts- 4 pts- 3 pts- 2 pts- 1 pt- 30th favourite That song will then receive the points you awarded it.

August 27, 20222 yr Well 23 of these topped my personal charts so just 7 number 2s to pick out. :D But some of them might have topped it on a low sales week :D
August 27, 20222 yr I've voted! I love so many of these that in the end I just took each one and tried to weight how much I love it now against how much I loved it at the time... if it did well in both then it made my list... with the exception of my 1 pointer which I don't love that much any longer but it was my first ever single so I can't leave it out entirely.
August 27, 20222 yr Thought I'd struggle to narrow these songs down to 30, but I had about the same number of these on my iPod, so that's almost decided. The challenge for me will be putting them in order!
August 28, 20222 yr Author Already 5 voters! I'm impressed. I did a first cull of everything I either don't like or is just OK and got left with about 50
August 28, 20222 yr But some of them might have topped it on a low sales week :D Theres at least one of those! :lol:
August 31, 20222 yr Voted. Many classics, got it down to 46 on a first wish-list, and then ahd to dump 16 including some that topped my charts during the 90s :o Bet no-one guesses my 30 pointer. Bet I'm the only that gives it 30 points :lol:
August 31, 20222 yr I can’t imagine what my 30 will be! That will be the only easy part of ranking these.
August 31, 20222 yr 52 in my first cull, leaving only songs I still love (plenty of others I really like).
September 1, 20222 yr Voted, love my top 30 very eclectic, probably was the sole pointer in some of these.
September 1, 20222 yr Author And we're into double figures already in terms of voters! Thanks to all who have voted already!
