Quite surprised with the reaction to "Driving Home For Christmas" thought it was more popular than some of the ratings.

I'll have to do this later. Some of them had peaks in my chart, of course. My favourite song on your list is "The Show Must Go On". Was #1 in my chart even before Freddie died.

05 - Bryan Adams "Run To You" (No.11) - 11 sounds about right to me
03 - Bryan Adams "Summer Of 69" (No.88) - not a great fan, but should have been at least 5.
03 - Chris Rea "Driving Home For Christmas" (No.29) - 15
03 - Elvis Presley "Love Me Tender (No.11) - 2
00 - Elton John "Candle In The Wind" (original) (No.11) - I despise this song so much. Not chart at all

09 - The La's "There She Goes" (No.13) - 2
09 - Lonestar "Amazed" (No.21) - top 10
04 - Michael Jackson "Jam" (No.13) -21
06 - Queen "The Invisible Man" (No.12) - one of the 3 Queen songs I can bear. 12 sounds about right.

Don't worry Steveh, I'm a big fan of "Driving Home For Christmas". I didn't get into it until about 13 yrs after it's release. Happened upon it literally driving home for Christmas hols around 2001. It came on the radio. Definitely a 10/10.
The La's are a 10/10 for me too. And Tina gets a 9/10.

08 - Bryan Adams "Run To You" (No.11) - #6
08 - Bryan Adams "Summer Of 69" (No.88) - #3, come on it's a lost classic, but actually he has another even better lost classic "Heaven"
00 - Chris Rea "Driving Home For Christmas" (No.29) - FLOP, worst song ever, people buy it sheepishly cos it has the word Xmas...
02 - Elvis Presley "Love Me Tender (No.11) - #2, not an Elvis fan
10 - Elton John "Candle In The Wind" (original) (No.11) - #1 but it actually did later...
10 - Kylie Minogue & Nick Cave "Where The Wild Roses Grow" (No.11) - #3 but not very realistic
09 - The La's "There She Goes" (No.13) - #1 should have been a #1
04 - Lonestar "Amazed" (No.21) - #40 too country
00 - Michael Jackson "Jam" (No.13) - FLOP, this should have never been released
-- - Queen "The Invisible Man" (No.12) - don't know it
10 - Queen "The Show Must Go On" (No.16) - #1, this should have been pushed to radios when FM died instead of BH, and made #1
10 - REM "Losing My Religion (No.19) - #1, should have!!!
08 - Rod Stewart "Some Guys Have All The Luck" (No.15) - #2, pretty decent
