I’m quite happy to stop the count there if it’s all the same with everyone else…

 

Would consider swapping in Ride on Time for Orinoco Flow, which I also love, but that's a strong group. I hope/suspect the end result will look like this. One of the Kylie songs might edge in.

Hmm, possibly, or maybe, and this could be more controversial, swap the Madge song for Tiffany. Basically, there’s so much litter in this list it ain’t gonna get much better than it is now

Nice to see the song about the young womble going sailing on top....

[Bibliogryphon 8,613]

I would respectfully suggest that Like A Prayer is Madonna's best eighties track and surprised that it is not doing better here.

 

Have we got PSB fatigue after putting through two in the last round. Heart was written with the intention of offering it to Madonna but they feared rejection so recorded it themselves.

 

In respect to Kylie surely I Should Be So Lucky is an iconic eighties anthem whereas I cannot even remember Hand on your Heart.

 

If I Wanna Dance With Somebody can't get through to the final then no other WH track deserves to.

[Youth in Asia 1,020]

"One moment in time" was the official anthem of the 1988 Olympics IIRC. I only remember First Time by Robin Beck as the Coca Cola advert. And how the hell did Billy Bragg get on this list.

Billy Bragg getting the B side on a popular bands cover of a Beatles song isn't that far off getting to number one via being in Band Aid tbh. There's so many songs I actively dislike left before I worry about the Pet Shop Boys being too popular (blame their competition, not them!) or what not.

According to wikipedia it should be:

Billy Bragg with Cara Tivey – She´s leaving home

 

Other gems from Wet Wet Wet's pointless tribute album for Sergeant Pepper:

Frank Sidebottom - Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!

The Christians - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Michelle Shocked - Lovely Rita
