Not a huge surprise, the winner is an all-time classic. Although I would argue that the top seven are.

You missed 2 songs, Bucks Fizz and Shakin Stevens's "Green Door".
Aneka too high in my opinion, poor song.
I would also like to see Adam & The Ants higher, that was the sound of the year.
And not sure why the love of Roxy Music doing a John Lennon cover whilst not liking the man himself.
Otherwise, a fairly reflection. I wonder how Shaddup You Face would have scored had it not kept a classic song out of #1. I doubt that Joe Dolce had that in mind when it was recorded and released.. "ah, I see Ultravox are just about to release their classic 'Vienna' - let's release this silly comic song to see if we can prevent it from reaching number one..."
