They showed the "Christmas Top of the Pops" for 1989 but if you have a list of all the number 1s and 2s from the combi chart I can make a special youtube playlist of a "christmas top of the pops" for our version of 1989.

I'm old fashioned and insist that a Christmas top of the pops should show the songs that reached #1 and #2 during the year although I know they changed the format later.

Here you go, that playlist will be good to see.

Debbie Gibson Lost In Your Eyes

Boy Meets Girl Waiting For a Star To Fall


I'd forgotten that a few of those songs did so well on here.  Some had quite lengthy stays at number two as well.  I've included in the #2 list, I think that has a decent chance of becoming our first #1 of the 1990s.

[Earl Purple]

And here it is.. 40 songs, all in one playlist so you might want to break it into two viewings.

As is my tradition I put the Christmas number one last, the Christmas number 2 right in the middle, and all the others are just random.

I listened all the way through the playlist. In general I liked all the songs other than the Gloria Estefan one which is just too weak in my opinion. She's made many great songs but I'm not keen on Don't Wanna Lose You.

I was only considering whether to move the Beautiful South ones a bit further apart as there is only one song between them, and whether to replace Texas with the official video even though that appears to have live coverage.
