I agree, but I guess it represents how pop music went into sharp decline post Band Aid/Live Aid in the second half of the 1980s. The Pet Shop Boy's Rent is the only one of the top five Missing songs that I like in this year.

5th Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died In Your Arms 22

well no doubt the thought of MIKA put everyone off voting for Cutting Crew's (I Just) Died In Your Arms - now I wonder what everybody makes of Resource's version (touched by the hands of the Bass Bumpers i believe from the track's credits :lol: )
