At least this time getting rid of (or trying to) Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls didn't take about a month.

West End Girls may not have won the main game, but it won the battle that mattered. It secured a well-deserved place in the final while Rick’s ancient meme rots forever in the junk folder where it belongs.

Rick won the moral victory, and his genius lives on in the minds of schoolkids all around the world.

 

Plus the guardian voted WEG as the greatest UK No1 of ALL TIME. So the fact it didn't even make the top 20 of the 1980s here is a kind of justice. Hopefully the guardian will take time to reflect on their error.
