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.

 

Quite. "Heart" is a long way from being my favourite PSB track, but nearly everything else there is dross.

[ladyfiona 2,030]

I have a soft spot for Belinda Carlisle's song because it was featured on Black Mirror episode "San Junipero". Kill the gays but give them a happy ending. Spoiler alert in video. I also have the actress who plays Kelly as my icon.

Not a lot better, although Terence Trent D'Arby, Mike & The Mechanics, INXS, Alice Cooper and Bomb The Bass wouldn't be a bad top 5.

Like these songs better than most of the number ones. London Boys had a better song at the time (Requiem) but were a fun group to find on the Top of the Pops repeats. Then I Wiki'd them and found out both of them died young in a car crash. Bit of a mood whiplash, that!

^^ I would have liked to see these songs on #1.

[Toast 14,797]

I don't actually remember most of those songs.  I spent a lot of time out of the country and living in hotels in that era, and wasn't much exposed to the UK chart sounds.

This top 5 blows pretty much everything in this round completely out of the water. Reaffirms the need for Best No.2s games after we’ve sorted out No.1s.

[Youth in Asia 1,020]

Together forever by Rick Astley is a great song, possibly even better than the rickroll song.

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

 

Wholeheartedly agree. Bonkers that Like a Prayer has gotten downvotes when fucking Sonia and Bros sit there with their 20 points untouched.
