I remember hearing "Eighth Day" for the first time on Saturday morning show Fun Factory, in a slot presented by Gary Crowley showcasing the charts. Totally blew my mind. Think I was 7 at the time.

Kate Bush winning her second round of the 80's (the other being Running Up That Hill), with HazelO'Connor close in 2nd. Captain Beaky in last with a bunch of middling scores. To be honest I had completely forgotten about the song until this round.

That was the last round for the 80's, so will move onto the 70's next. I am 99% sure I have started a 1970's number ones at some point, but can't remember when, so will start a fresh new one from 1979.
Many thanks for your participation.

And someone saw fit to skip that Kate Bush song in Pick of the Pops I skipped quite a few in mine that probably would have done well, as I wanted to try and pick songs that hadn't been used in other games.
I'm not sure I will ever win with that tactic though!

I wanted to pick songs that were iconic in their era.
We need more 70s polls, I think we have only done the number ones.
