Predictable, but totally deserved, winner. I don't get the hate for that Modern Romance song though!

Couldn't you use a few more decimal places, just to make this really accurate ? Seriously, thanks very much for resurrecting this. Shame not many people here recognise the genius of Bob Marley or the pop chops of Genesis.

Predictable, but totally deserved, winner. I don't get the hate for that Modern Romance song though! nor do I, I like it. Aye Aye Aye Aye Moosey was just a bit too twee for me lyrically, and I guess having that song in their legacy swayed a lot of people's judgement about them as a whole.

Yes, excessive use of the decimal places there Shireblogger which could have easily been curtailed had I paid more attention when I copied and pasted the results over from Excel!

Moonlight Shadow a worthy winner but agree with Whitneyfan - can't understand the dislike for Modern Romance - love it, at least it beat Orville! Thanks for organising Smurfie nothing like going all the way..................

5) Tracey Ullman - Breakaway 7,105263158 4) Thompson Twins - Hold Me Now 7,105263158
Even down to 9 decimal places these two still couldn't be separated.
