  1. 52. Taylor Dayne - Prove Your Love 100pts Writers - Seth Swirsky, Arnie Roman Top points - GreyAsh 25, TheSnake 23, Liamski689 12 In 1988, Taylor Dayne reached number 3 with 'Tell It To My Heart'. This was the follow-up and was her final top 10 hit. Her real name is Leslie Wunderman.
  2. 53. Belinda Carlisle - Always Breaking My Heart 84pts Writer - Per Gessle Top points - Mango 25, GreyAsh 20, AH Gold 16 From two years later, this was Belinda Carlisle's seventh and final top 10 single. It was written by Per Gessle who was one half of Roxette. Already, three of the four wild cards have fallen.
  3. 54. M-Beat featuring General Levy - Incredible (remix) 83pts Writer - General Levy Top points - Brer 23, AH Gold 19, DaTilt 17 We are in the same year for the first jungle track to reach the top 10. The original release stalled at number 39 but a remix helped it to number 8. M-Beat is London musician Marlon Hart who managed two more top 20 hits.
  4. 55.

  6. VOTING HAS NOW CLOSED Thanks to the 42 people who voted. The results will start this evening.
  7. I'll extend the deadline to 3pm today.

  9. If you can vote now, I'll accept it.
  10. You can only vote for 25 songs, Snake, so I'm noting your scores as 25 points for Maxx down to 1 point for Savage Garden.
  11. I think I would have put this second last as well. 'Sylvia's Mother' and 'A Little Bit More' are much better songs from Dr Hook. Both of them got to number 2 and would have been good chart toppers.
  12. I would certainly have put this in bottom place myself. I don't know who was buying it in such large amounts, it must have been people over 50 years old.

  25. 3rd - 9th February 1966 31. Little By Little - Dusty Springfield https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJMBiXzotoo An OK up-tempo song from Dusty with the backing vocalists playing their part along with the piano and brass instruments. 37. Have Pity On The Boy - Paul and Barry Ryan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1KcfMGotGg I don't have pity on the boy if he's been unfaithful. The trumpets were the highlight, otherwise this is only average. Record of the week : 40. Uptight (Everything's Alright) - Stevie Wonder The drums and horns really pack a punch before the vocals come in. The verse sections don't hold up well and Stevie's vocal is a bit ragged in places but the chorus and main hook is full of energy and this is overall a good UK debut for the 15 year old singer who already has a US number 1 single to his name, 'Fingertips', in 1963. Uptight will reach a peak position of number 14.
