I don't understand all peoples hate for Peters & Lee, "Muskrat Love", "You Light Up My Life" e.t.c. For me they are good samples of 70s pop music.

My least favourite #1s of the 1980s are: 5. I Should Be So Lucky - Kylie Minogue (S/A/W did worse songs but this is the worst one that got to #1). In my all-time top 100 favourite UK # 1s.

I quite liked the uptempo version of Don't Cry For Me Argentina, even though obviously it's totally out of character with the lyrics, where she is dying.
