Hmm, can't complain too much, the top ten is largely excellent. Would liked to have seen Joy Division higher though, LWTUA is possibly my fave out of all the above. Some decent ones towards the rear of the chart as well. ;D at Cliff's performance though...

I hardly think Cliff will worry about the results of a few Haven members. 21 million singles sold in the UK to date. |

Joy Division should be top 10 but, aside from that, not a bad result at all - especially #97, 98 and 100!!!  Also, I really don't like that La's song Jade  |

Some great songs in the top 10 - Blondie, A-Ha, Black Box.
Not surprised to see Jennifer Rush in the middle of the pack. It would be near the top if everyone was asked to make a list and then this was tabulated but it's the sort of song which many rave about but for others it's a total turnoff therefore low marks.

Some good results there, particularly the top 7 ;D
Some of them should've been much higher, particularly "Born In The USA", "Summer Of '69", "I Should Be So Lucky", and "We Built This City"!
