80's classics that flopped in the UK
Animal Magnet - Welcome To The Monkey House and the original version of Kiss Me by Tin Tin . Both were big in the clubs in the 80s

So You Thought They Were Hits..
Albert Hammond - It never rains in Southern California was a flop but should have charted Welcome to the Money House by Animal Magnet was big in the clubs in the 80s but failed to chart. Also, Kiss Me (original version) by Tin Tin should have been a big hit.

Classic songs that never became hits...
In Birmingham around 1981/1982 Welcome To The Monkey House by Animal Magnet & Kiss Me by Tin Tin were massive in the clubs & are still requested today . I know Kiss Me was remixed in 1985 and became a hit but the original version from 81 did not go top 40. Monkey House did not chart at all.

Top 65 best selling Xmas hits ever!!
There's no one quite like Grandma should not be classed as a Christmas song. If Bionic Santa is in the list then where is Renta Santa ? What about Make a daft noise for Christmas by The Goodies ?

Obscure chart single formats???
Another format would be 8 track Cartridges which were around in the early 70s. I remember my Dad having Bridge Over Troubled Water album in this format. Reel to reel tapes anyone ???

Top of the Pops on Thursdays, bbc 4.
Another gem that has come through for me is Night Rider by ELO . I'm glad Paul Nicholas has finally gone away for the time being.We're going to have weeks and weeks of Elton & Kiki though through the summer.

Favourite songs when you were younger.
At the age of 9-10 I used to love everything by The Sweet , Slade , Gary Glitter, The Glitter Band , Mud , T Rex , Wizzard , The Rubettes & ELO. At the school discos you were cool if you liked Gary Glitter .

Songs where they murder the title
The winner has to be Paul Johnson's Get Get Down. The word "Get" is sung 52 times and there's no fewer than 246 repetitions of the word "Down"
