Weren't the mid-80s awful for rock fans. Great for pop music, but truly atrocious for anyone who liked music with even a slightly harder edge.

Whilst they were good at the time, a lot of the house music that charted really has dated badly. And I thought we weren’t allowed to vote with a zero? In any case I’ve adjusted my votes to include a few 0s.
02 Steve 'Silk' Hurley - Jack Your Body 03 Aretha Franklin & George Michael - I Knew You Were Waiting 09 Ben E. King - Stand By Me 08 Boy George - Everything I Own 06 Mel & Kim - Respectable 05 Ferry Aid - Let It Be 03 Madonna - La Isla Bonita (probably the only 80s Madonna hit I didn't like) 03 Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now 10 Whitney Houston - I Want To Dance With Somebody 04 The Firm - Star Trekkin' 00 The Pet Shop Boys - It's A Sin 09 Madonna - Who's That Girl 08 Los Lobos - La Bamba 10 Michael Jackson - I Just Can't Stop Loving You 09 Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up 03 MARRS - Pump Up The Volume 10 The Bee Gees - You Win Again 02 T'Pau - China In Your Hand 00 The Pet Shop Boys - Always On My Mind

As I used a zero myself in the last one it would be rather hypocritical not to allow them. Yeah, feel free to use zeroes.

No rock singles at #1 (ok, Starship if you count them) but Bon Jovi were just getting going here and Whitesnake also made a comeback in 1987. We also got The Beastie Boys. 1988 saw the arrival of Guns N Roses and the triumphant return of Iron Maiden with a top 3 hit (possibly their most commercial ever).
