If my memory serves correctly it was treated as a proper EP with all tracks receiving airplay. Lay All Your Love On Me received the mist radio play with SOS also making the airplay charts but Take A Chance.. seemed to get the more video plays (presumably because they dressed as Abba) They performed Take A Chance... on Top Of The Pops on its first week but subsequent weeks they showed a different video of the 4 available. Take A Chance On Me was nearly always what was played on The Chart Show on ITV. I remember the top 40 on Radio 1 would play Lay All Your Love On Me and Voulez Vous quite a bit but I don't remember hearing SOS much at all. Yeah Take A Chance On Me is the one I best remember. I'd always thought until hearing an old chart from the time that it got most of the airplay. I did think it was the song that they played on The Chart Show, so good to see that confirmed as I think when it was no 1 I saw that show more often than listening to the top 40. Guessing I did hear one or two of the others at the time though (on Simon Mayos's chart recap on a Monday morning for example) as they are familiar.
