Kill or Save: UK No.1-hits of the 80s

[Sir Creep 7,070]

So I worked in the record store (that’s dating ‘old man’ SC) 1985-early 1987, and I’ve been looking forward to the songs I guessed would be up for voting.  I recall a fair number of the top 40 albums we would have on the ‘hits’ wall, and though I know our countries have differences in what may be popular, It’s still surprising what isn’t on the list. (I did look at Billboard #1 to compare.  We missed a few songs too, so complaints all around)

 

GLARING absences include::

Peter Gabriel - ‘Sledgehammer’ 

U2 - ‘With or Without You’ … or if you prefer….

      - ‘I Still Haven't Found What I’m Looking For’

       I mean it’s only U2 (rolls eyes).

Prince - ‘Kiss’

I had forgotten about T'Pau, but boy oh boy did y'all choose the wrong song.  Heart and Soul was pretty good (#4 in both the US and UK).  China In Your Hand?  Never heard it. They never played it here.  How could it be #1 in one country and unlistenable in the other?  Too bad you didn't like Heart and Soul more, I coulda got behind it.  
As for Boris Gardiner....whothefuck?
(Other whothefucks never heard by anyone in the States: Steve Hurley, Spitting Image, Mel & Kim, Ferry Aid.  I'd guess 98% of Yanks don't know The Housemartins, but I actually owned the cassette (again aging myself) and they were akin to what happens when you purchase a Smiths album from Wish.)

So I worked in the record store (that’s dating ‘old man’ SC) 1985-early 1987, and I’ve been looking forward to the songs I guessed would be up for voting.  I recall a fair number of the top 40 albums we would have on the ‘hits’ wall, and though I know our countries have differences in what may be popular, It’s still surprising what isn’t on the list. (I did look at Billboard #1 to compare.  We missed a few songs too, so complaints all around)

 

GLARING absences include::

Peter Gabriel - ‘Sledgehammer’ 

U2 - ‘With or Without You’ … or if you prefer….

      - ‘I Still Haven't Found What I’m Looking For’

       I mean it’s only U2 (rolls eyes).

Prince - ‘Kiss’ 

 

As has been mentioned before, a lot of lower charting positions are because most people bought the album rather than the single. 

For instance, U2's Joshua Tree album (which includes both the songs you mention) topped the UK album charts and was one of the top 10 selling albums of the decade.

 

I think it's also interesting to look at the context and see what songs did make No 1 at the time.  Singles rarely went straight in at No 1 back then, they tended to climb the chart over a few weeks.  Famously Ultravox's Vienna stalled at No 2 but this had a lot to do with the series of John Lennon singles which were successively No 1 after his death. By the time those fell away, everyone who was going to buy the Vienna single had already done so.

 

It might be interesting to repeat this exercise with the No 2 singles, excluding those which did make it to No 1.
