Between Boxing Day and New Year's Day I will be revealing various lists from 1990 to show what songs and artists did best. Does anyone want to predict their top song and artists for the year and the overall combined retro number one and artist for the year? o , Mark , darkstar79 , smokeyb , Whitneyfan , TheThorne , rubcale , raliverpool , Shireblogger , Smurfie, Earl Purple , popchartfreak , Razzle Dazzle , coolchristie2 & Good Old Days

I'm pretty sure Roxette 'It must have been love' and Wilson Phillips 'Hold on' will be up there.
They are definitely the 2 best songs of the year IMO.

I reckon that as it's on points the number one of the year in my chart was clearly "Still Got The Blues For You" by Gary Moore. Also helped by the fact "Freedom '90" by George Michael is still in the chart at the end without enough time to catch up.
George Michael had another number one in the year so may end up as top act.
In the Haven chart of the year I think "It Must Have Been Love" by Roxette could be at the top.

Belinda is probably my top artist, possibly Kylie - singles wise Lonnie Gordon or Londonbeat?

1990 summary
156,030 points were awarded in total for 1990. We now have 15 regular contributors to the chart , which I think is the highest since 1982. These points were spread across 970 songs. Of these songs, 22 made it to the top of the chart, 15 of these were by artists hitting the top for the first time.

Here are some of the biggest songs on the Official UK charts of the year that we didn’t show much love for and most don’t appear on our equivalent countdown of the Year....

Various Artists - Brits 1990 (did not chart) even though it reached number 2 on the official chart,it scored a big fat zero with us.
Jive Bunny & the Mastermixers - Can Can You Party (did not chart) it reached number 8 on the official chart, we knew better and gave it zero points.
Jive Bunny & the Mastermixters - Let's Swing Again (did not chart) it reached 19 on the official chart, this registered 2 points with us and finished in 938 place, yep some songs scored less than this.
Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers - That Sounds Good To Me (did not chart),yes the 3rd song by these ex chart toppers,this one entered the official chart at 4, but with us it scored 4 points, that meant it came in 906th place.
Lindisfarne & Gazza - Fog On The Tyne (did not chart) this got to number 2 in the official chart, we didn't place it in our top 40,although it came close peaking at number 46. it managed to get 64 points in total, placing it in 494th place.
Band Aid II – Do They Know It’s Christmas - (13-8-12-30) 4 wks, this charted at the beginning of the year and managed 4 weeks on the chart in 1990. it scored 141 points with us, putting it in 320th spot.
Partners in Kryme – Turtle Power (38-37) 2 wks even though it managed 4 weeks at the top of the official chart,it really struggled in our chart managing a high of 37. It scored a total of 143 points and finished in 316th place.
Bombalurina – Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini - (22-18-23-36-32-36) 6 wks, reached number one in the official charts, but only got to 18 in our chart,it scored a total of 218 points and finished 226th in out chart.
