Pat Benatar was in a different HF, so I can't see an issue in naming her songs here.

I didn't know that she is so old + time is very fast. Yeah, she was already 32 when she had her first hit. That doesn't add up. If she was 32 in early 1985 that would make her 70 now, and that's when "We Belong" was in the chart. "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" was 1980 (actually her first hit in my chart was Heartbreaker at the start of 1980 but HMWYBS was a much bigger hit and a better known song).

Interesting list of acts but I have selected my choices of song and it makes no real difference what the other acts are.
Every act on this list clearly has some very strong songs but obviously as we know we can't play them every round and we also can't tell how we might do when we play their others.
There is no obvious winner from this list.
There are some names I don't know that well.
Two of them at least I can probably place their mentor, and I wonder how many will be able to guess my act this time.
By the way, it is not the strongest ever line-up. I think HF1 and HF3 had the strongest line-ups, and after that HF7.

-- ( -- ) Under My Wheels - Alice Cooper -- ( -- ) Baby It's True - Mari Wilson -- ( -- ) Walk On By - D Train -- ( -- ) Attack - Exploited
Crashing in at #3, after being way ahead of anything else on that playlist, Toto return to the chart with "Rosanna". Apart from "Hold The Line" (#6 in 1978) they also had a lesser hit with "99" (#26 in 1980). In the UK this song wasn't a hit until a year later, when it was re-released after the success of "Africa" and reached the top 20. In the USA it spent 5 weeks at #2 unable to budge "Ebony & Ivory", but "Africa" spent a single week at #1 there. I had a neighbour called Rosanna, but it's possible the song title was at least inspired by Rosanna Arquette, although not necessarily about her even though she was personally close to one of the members.
A bunch of entries just inside the top 20, Blondie's "Island Of Lost Souls" slightly under-performed in the UK chart, then the rather poor "War Child" and a gap of nearly 17 years. Behind them, Depeche Mode follow up the NM #1 "See You" with "The Meaning Of Love", a cheerful pop song, and the Fun Boy Three go back to doing original material without the help of Bananarama.
Eurovision was 2 weeks ago, but it was the first time in a few years I didn't watch any of it and only watched the scoring, where it was clear Germany were winning by a clear margin. Then came on the girl to do her entry and she sang parts of it in 4 different languages including English, and it became the 3rd winner in a row to reach #1 in the UK, but apart from the UK and Ireland winners, the only other Eurovision winner ever to reach #1 in the UK were Abba. Unlike Abba however, she failed to have any kind of career in the UK afterwards. The song was written by Ralph Siegel who had written many Eurovision songs before including both my favourites of 1979 and 1980. The song is ok, but not as good as either of those two.

01 Dimples D – Sucker DJ (9 wks) The musical riff on which this is based is actually by Hugo Montenegro. He didn't write the theme for "The Good The Bad And The Ugly" which was written by Ennio Morricone, but he did write that music.

As a whole in 1991, songs that could be big hits, with 4 of them out at pretty much the same time (when the chart gets brutal)
Roxette - Joyride (around March) R.E.M - Losing My Religion (also around March) James - Sit Down {1991} (re-recording of their 1989 song, a massive hit, also March) Wonder Stuff - The Size Of A Cow (early April)
and a bit later in the year:
Bryan Adams - Everything I Do (I Do It For You). Enters June then tops the UK chart at the start of July for 4 whole months.
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
I notice Styx already in the combi-chart, that is on my playlist of 26 January so 3 charts after the one I just posted.

I just ran predicta in Time Machine. I am not going to run it here. I would be happy for there to be no predicta but will still pre-predict the final order when I see the list as well as who took each act.
And yes, of course I also won the event, so it seems there's a link between running predictas and winning, although unlike with Haven Factor, I'd already submitted all my songs up front so it can't have influenced anything. In addition, the predicta itself I came joint first due to pre-predicta which was done right at the start before anyone had predicted. In the main round-by-round event I finished 8 points behind the leader.

I got my first choice so I’m taking a tequila shot (I’m still on holidays btw not a school night) So maybe your act is Terrorvision. But it could be the Champs.

Depends if there is going to be a pre-predicta as to what acts will appear. I'm not that certain if we are having a predicta at all, but I always enjoy the "who picked which act" part, as well as "guess where they will finish" as then the primary target is to beat your expected average finish position, which of course I did last time but not in any of the others.

The biggest ever hit in my chart by an act from Jamaica, and so possibly considered the biggest ever reggae hit in my chart.
Still it was November 2020 when my retro chart was in that period of 1976 that this song topped my chart so not sure why it was a discovery in 2022.

New year and 12 new entries. 1991 will explode in March. But January and February are relatively quiet with one absolute monster coming in a couple of weeks.
I always found first few weeks of the year were a good time for the underdog to release singles, so not only do Iron Maiden have a number one single but the songs by Jesus Jones and Pop Will Eat Itself were UK hits, both entering inside the top 20.

After Vince Clarke left Depeche Mode they went on to get to NM #1, but now Vince has duplicated that feat with Yazoo, his duet with Alison Moyet (Alf) on vocal. Usually when a significant member leaves a band, both parts do worse, but this is the rare occasion that both parts have done better.
So what exactly are Tight Fit? Last year in the medley craze they came up with "Back To The Sixties" which for a new generation was quite a good medley of some of the bigger hits of that decade, and they did a part 2.
Then time to move on - people were bored of medleys, so just a straight cover version, and put 3 people on the stage even though they weren't actually singing on it.
And then, hey, how about we actually do get them to sing on their next single? As big fans of the 60s they obviously knew a popular way to get a hit back then was to take a foreign language song and translate it to English. Fantasy Island started off as a Dutch contender for Eurovision that wasn't selected and it obviously worked well for this purpose. Nobody had heard of the original and it came across as an authentic band now doing a new song.
The second entry, Heat Of The Moment by Asia, and the British progressive/AOR mix of bands that came up, often just a number of musicians getting together, in this case from Yes and King Crimson with Geoff Downes from the Buggles also involved, and later on GTR would be another such super-group. They generally sold more albums than singles in the UK but would often have hit singles in the USA. "Heat Of The Moment" reached #4 in the Billboard Hot 100.
Two football songs, "We Have A Dream" and "Tottenham Tottenham". Sporting achievements will be done later but Steve Archibald played for Spurs and Scotland so is technically in both songs. The real people behind it are BA Robertson and Chas & Dave, so proper musicians, and with Clare Grogan having had hits with Altered Images, it was the turn of John Gordon Sinclair from Gregory's Girl now, only he couldn't sing so he narrated to it, with B.A. Robertson himself providing a few sung vocals.
All of those, as well as the RAH Band, enter ahead of a rather dire effort by Queen's standards.

I still scream uncontrollably at the Sam Fender/Metric tie sing off situation. If it happens again, I will also be screaming uncontrollably unless one of the acts is UB40. Then if it happens again, they're leaving...

An Amelia Lily style appearance. I think she was in Round 1 when each mentor voted out one of their acts. Then when one of them was disqualified she was brought back in and ended up finishing 3rd or 4th, I can't quite remember.

Anybody mentioned the Bon Jovi situation yet, if they do you have to DRINK! I'm not traumatised by "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night" (or "If You Really Love Me") getting into a sing-off anymore, given my performance in the last HF. If either of those had just got a few more points and survived, I may have gone a lot of rounds further and they wouldn't have been disasters. Maybe I was just lucky with Elvis Costello in the way I was unlucky with those two? Certainly I was on the round I played "Carpetbaggers".

I'm still traumatised by 'Face To Face' bombing the way it did I still scream uncontrollably at the Sam Fender/Metric tie sing off situation. I do too, mostly about panicking and changing my song when I knew it was going to be double-elimination from 6. If I played that last contest again I'd change the one with Jenny Lewis for "Sulky Girl" and have Veronica in the round where it was intended and Oliver's Army at the end, otherwise I chose well each round.

I assume those who sent their entries early will have to send them again tomorrow after 5pm or they will get pushed to the bottom of the queue.
