Her biggest hit in the NM chart (not counting Fairytale of New York)
That reached NM #1 and she also peaked at NM #2 with "There's A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis" which was kept off #1 by Hazel O'Connor's "Will You".

Good choice, very near with my top 5.  From non-singles I like "England 2 - Colombia 0", mostly for a lyrics. |

She also peaked at NM #2 with "There's A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis". What about "A New England" ? |

My box-set hasn't arrived yet, but the complete album of 'Real' is now on Spotify - and I have to say it is brilliant. How did she never see fit to release this while she was alive?

It’s a great album - I love Berlin especially. I guess her record label owned the tracks before she got dropped so stopped them ever seeing the light of day? |

My box-set has arrived now and it's a really lovely looking set. I'm listening to the first disc (the singles) as we speak and, as usual, amazed at how few of them were actually hits! Who says the cream rises to the top, as it rarely did in her case!
I've also just realised that it's the been the same amount of time since her passing now, as it was from Elvis's death to hers. That knowledge really gives me a whole different perspective of time, as it only seems like yesterday that she went!
