We had a number 3 rate long long long time ago (I think Dandy ran it?). Everything But The Girl were in my top 3 and probably still would be.
If someone has a full list they could send to me that would be fabulous.
Everything But The Girl were only just outside my top 100, along with Nikita by Elton John.
The website with every number 3 from 1952 - 2006 is here...
