I do not go and see a lot of live music but did see Genesis during the Invisible Tour (1987)

Thank you all for you vigilance and I have updated the masterlist to now include @BabyBlue and @DeathByArsenic hits

This has easily been the strongest group so far and after we quickly got rid of Lena Martell then most of the others were cultural staples that you wouldn't turn off if they came on the radio. I have picked my five that I want to progress but most of the ones that are above 20 I would accept I think Cars is better than Are Friends Electric and I Don't Like Mondays is better than Rat Trap. Message in a Bottle beats Walking on the Moon for me and both Blondie tracks are fantastic The two Grease tracks are very interesting because Summer Nights from a musicals perspective is a brilliant piece of exposition and character introduction but where it should be judged as a pop song is a more difficult decision

Apart from the two Blondie tracks I think that the artists with two tracks in play there tends to be one which is preferable but unfortunately I think which one it will be will be different for all of us.

37 Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights 33 Althea & Donna – Up Town Top Ranking 29 Boney M. – Mary´s boy child / Oh my Lord 28 Police – Message in a bottle 27 The Buggles – Video killed the radio star +2 25 Tubeway Army – Are “friends” electric 25 Blondie – Heart of glass 25 Bee Gees – Night Fever 25 ABBA – Take a chance on me 25 Gary Numan – Cars 25 Ian Dury & the Blockheads – Hit me with your rhythm stick 24 Blondie – Sunday Girl 23 Bee Gees – Tragedy 22 Art Garfunkel – Bright eyes +2 21 10CC – Dreadlock Holiday 21 The Boomtown Rats – Rat Trap 21 Gloria Gaynor – I will survive 18 Police – Walking on the moon -3 18 Cliff Richard – We don´t talk anymore 17 The Boomtown Rats – I don´t like Mondays 16 Pink Floyd – Another brick in the wall 14 Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta – Summer Nights 14 Rod Stewart – Da ya think I´m sexy -3 10 Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta – You´re the one that I want 9 Village People – Y.M.C.A. 5 Anita Ward - Ring my Bell

I think I would struggle to identify the tracks by title but if I heard them I would know them. I had to do this a bit for the early 70s but all of the 78/79 tracks I knew instantly. My chart knowledge drops off from 1992 onwards

This has been a lot of fun and if it was extended to 80s No.1s then I would be very happy but I am thinking what we would be like in the were 10s No.1s we would probably be saying "Kill them all with fire"

You can have a classical artist if they were nominated for a Brit award before 1993 (as this would have been awarded at the main ceremony) after this date there were separate awards
