1982 : Renee and Renato - Save Your Love
Christmas week : # 1 UK peak position : # 1
Top 3 : 1. Renee and Renato - Save Your Love (UK # 1) 2. Modern Romance - Best Years of Our Lives (UK # 8) 3. David Essex - A Winter's Tale (UK # 7)
"Save Your Love" spent 7 weeks at # 1 in my chart. It's equal result with "Material Girl" and "I'm Never Giving Up". From 80s songs only "The Land Of Make Believe" (9 weeks at # 1) and "You Gotta Be A Hustler If You Wanna Get On" (10 weeks at # 1) were more successful in "Gražios Dainos".
