Cool Christie's Top 50 Songs of 1984
1) Black Lace - AGADOO 219 points OMG. I'm disowning him after this. Yeah, this one surprised me a little bit....it didn't even get to number one on Chris's chart....but that's what 6 weeks at number two will do for you!! Looks like Black Lace have got a busy 1985 too....maybe The Hokey Cokey will do even better..be afraid, be very afraid!!

What an eclectic bunch we are.
Some surprises on my own chart.
John Waite almost did it I never realised I liked The Bluebells so much.
Not a lot of love with others for the Jeffrey Osborne track.
Complete blunder by EMI with Cliff's Ocean Deep. Should never have been hidden on the B side of Baby You're Dynamite. By the time they realised it was the side the regular fans loved and suddenly made it a double "A" it had just droppedof the chart and the momentum was gone, the readio stations not picking up on it.
Regularly finishes in the top 3 when the fab club votes for their favourite song.

Brilliant work Kingpin. Thank you. I created a weekly chart in 1984, but many years ago I threw them away. I did, however, keep my year end Top 50. I deliberately didn't look at it until yesterday, and it is interesting to compare my taste in 1984 with now. This is how the two Top 20s compare, with this year's version in []. 1 [1] :: Bronski Beat - SMALLTOWN BOY 2 [2] :: Frankie Goes To Hollywood - TWO TRIBES 3 [3] :: Frankie Goes To Hollywood - RELAX 4 [45] :: Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - LOCOMOTION 5 [18] :: Depeche Mode - MASTER AND SERVANT 6 [171] :: Duran Duran - THE WILD BOYS 7 [41] :: Re-Flex - POLITICS OF DANCING 8 [13] :: Bronski Beat - WHY? 9 [27] :: Eurythmics - HERE COMES THE RAIN AGAIN 10 [9] :: Eurythmics - SEXCRIME (NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR) 11 [40] :: Queen - RADIO GA GA 12 [30] :: Hazell Dean - SEARCHIN' 13 [5] :: Tina Turner - WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT 14 [72] :: Alphaville - BIG IN JAPAN 15 [148] :: Queen - I WANT TO BREAK FREE 16 [11] :: ZZ Top - GIMME ALL YOUR LOVIN' 17 [50] :: Cyndi Lauper - TIME AFTER TIME 18 [34] :: Womack & Womack - LOVE WARS 19 [199] :: Thompson Twins - LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME 20 [47] :: Murray Head - ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK 21 [7] :: Bluebells - YOUNG AT HEART 25 [4] :: Bluebells - I'M FALLING 27 [8] :: Special AKA - NELSON MANDELA 33 [19] :: Smiths - WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE not T50 [6] :: Rufus & Chaka Khan - AIN'T NOBODY not T50 [10] :: Sade - HANG ON TO YOUR LOVE {DIAMOND LIFE LP track} not T50 [12] :: A Flock Of Seagulls - THE MORE YOU LIVE THE MORE YOU LOVE not T50 [14] :: REM - (DON'T GO BACK TO) ROCKVILLE {RECKONING LP track} not T50 [15] :: Staple Singers - SLIPPERY PEOPLE not T50 [16] :: Giorgio Moroder & Philip Oakey - TOGETHER IN ELECTRIC DREAMS not T50 [17] :: Bob Marley & Wailers - ONE LOVE - PEOPLE GET READY not T50 [20] :: Human League - THE LEBANON
