I really disliked "Is There Something I Should Know". Not sure if part of that hatred was it jumping in at #1 replacing my favourite but it was so weak compared to Rio that preceded it, which was a work of genius, and Save A Prayer just before that.

Seeing as Smurfie appears to have deleted himself, I'll try and work this out at some point and post up the answers, although I am doing the #1s of 2010 in the main music forum as well. So for now, we are still open for more votes.

Blow it, I worked them all out, so might as well get the results out there, before someone adds another score on Cheers to Smurfie for setting it all up, and greatly appreciated were the 26 votes! Smurfie, andy, pcbear, rubcale, raliverpool, pilsleyguy, Jan, Earl P, Shireblogger, meister, wonderwall, gezza76, seanster, darkstar, Thorney, ad1, borneoman, smokeyb, skiqueen, diamondgirl, kingpin, vya, Manick, Robertlee, vastariner, Dave, Pat on the back to all of you! No real surprise as to who won, he scored consistently well. 1 Michael Jackson - Billie Jean 7.352 Billy Joel - Uptown Girl 7.15 3 Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse Of The Heart 6.85 4 KC & The Sunshine Band - Give It Up 6.5 5 David Bowie - Let's Dance 6.46 6 Culture Club - Karma Chameleon 6.31 7 Paul Young - Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home) 6.12 8 Duran Duran - Is There Something I Should Know? 6.04 9 Police - Every Breath You Take 5.96 10 Phil Collins - You Can't Hurry love 5.69 11 UB40 - Red Red Wine 5.57 12 Men At Work - Down Under 5.53 13 Spandau Ballet – True 5.46 14 Kajagoogoo - Too Shy 5.42 15 Rod Stewart - Baby Jane 5.31 16 Flying Pickets - Only You 4 17 New Edition - Candy Girl 3.31 So is it 1982 or 1984 next?

Next is 1982 as we are going backward
I don't know why Smurfie left Haven, he never told us with an "I'm leaving" thread. It seems to have happened at the turn of the year as he was in the Xmasvision contest. It may have just been a "new years resolution" if he thought he was spending too much time posting here (and he was a prolific poster).

1982 it is then, anyone got a list of the #1s, and I'll start it off at some point... No idea why Smurfie left, it might be more that he has other things in his life, job in SA, bf, etc, would have been nice to know why, but ho hum.

Thanks for the results! I loved 99% of the list anyway, so it's all good.
Looking forward to 1982... some instant 10s and some will need researching.
