April 14, 20241 yr Midnight Oil - Beds Are Burning Yello - The Race Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire Duran Duran - All She Wants Is 808 State - Pacific State RIPs: Chris Cross from Ultravox - can we have 'All Stood Still' which is the only top 10 hit by them we haven't played yet. Clarence 'Frogman' Henry - we played his no.3 single recently so can we have his number 6 hit, 'You Always Hurt The One You Love', a former record of the week of mine.
