I don't really get the popularity of the Fairground Attraction song, i've always hated it!

Surorised at the number of reasonably high scores Cliif is getting - this is one of my least favourite Cliff songs.

Albert Hammond co-wrote two of the #1s, Aswad and Whitney Houston. The former was a cover of the Tina Turner song that was on the B-side of Typical Male. Subsequently also covered by Ace of Base.
I Think We're Alone Now was also a cover version - of Tommy James & The Shondelles. Not as well known as Mony Mony, which was also covered by Billy Idol around the same time.
Nothing's Gonna Change My Love was previously recorded by George Benson and was co-written by Gerry Goffin, who also co-wrote The Locomotion, which nearly replaced it at #1.
Lesser known still is that The Only Way Is Up (which prevented the above happening) was a cover version. Written by George Jackson and Johnny Henderson, and first recorded by Otis Clay.
A Groovy Kind Of Love was a cover of The Mindbenders and was co-written by Carole Bayer-Sager, who often wrote with Burt Bacherach, but at this point he was writing with Hal David and she co-write this with Toni Wine. Phil Collins didn't write any of his #1s but a song he did write, Against All Odds, was #1 twice for other artists.
Finally, Mistletoe And Wine was not first performed by Cliff Richard, Twiggy sang it in a Christmas performance of The Little Match Girl, but I'm not sure if she ever recorded it.

^^^ I never knew any of that ! I knew that 'Don't Turn Around' was a cover,but I didn't know it was originally a Tina Turner b side. I think I remember (unless I'm completely mad) that kids tv celeb Kim Goody ('No 73') released it as a single before Aswad so it's a shame that she didn't have a hit with it.
