Predictable top 3 in the end.

Rate : 8 / 10
Worse than "See The Day", but still good pop song.

An interesting countdown. I'd swap your top 2 for some of the ones near the bottom of your chart, but it would be boring if we all liked the same!

1981 : Bucks Fizz - The Land Of Make Believe Christmas week : # 5 UK peak position : # 1
Top 3 : 1. Bucks Fizz - The Land Of Make Believe (UK # 5) 2. ABBA - One Of Us (UK # 3) 3. Jon and Vangelis - I'll Find My Way Home (UK # 10)
"The Land of Make Believe" became only one song in the history of my retrospective chart, which was # 1 in three different versions, when Blogos Mergaites got # 1 with "Norim Buti Vaikais" (cover on Lithuanian language). The combined result is 21 weeks at # 1 (!!!) - nine for Bucks Fizz, seven for allSTARS* and five for Blogos Mergaites. Original was my "Song of the Year" from 1981 year, allSTARS* cover version is my favourite single from 2002.
