Thanks for making me aware to boost Technochronic then.

 

Anything that stops another 4 points for The Loco-Motion! :lol: (Je ne sais pas pourquoi is the best Kylie on this list IMHO - but I'm not sure I'm putting that through either!)

I've just sorted out the 90s No.2s list. There's of course some bin fodder (*ahem*boybands*ahem*) but I am absolutely in my happy place looking at what's coming up. I'm gonna have a horrendously tough time deciding where a measly four points goes every day.

 

Oh yeah, and Kylie's best ever song is there too. Much better than The Locomotion and Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi J'ai Fait Cette Chanson De Merde.

I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the UK No.11 Hits game before I can vote that one down you can vote that one up.

Looking at the current leaders and those that have qualified in the previous round I don't think any of this lot will be breaking into my top 10

There are three very good tracks here and an outstanding one, but there's a of pap. I made it my mission a few years ago to listen to all the songs to have made the Top 40 in my lifetime (I bailed out in the mid 2000s in the end) and I recall that the late 80's was really, really dire.

I was a student at the time and every sunday I would listen to the Top 40 while finishing off any outstanding work from the previous week. There was some good stuff but not necessarily the stuff that was really popular
