Well, I was aiming for Heart to be at least Top 3

 

[straightorbroken]

Tough for Tiff, but I just enjoy that hi-NRG riff from the PSB so, so much.

 

[jyxz]

Had pinned Yazz as a potential winner

 

[Madíson]

Time to get the greatest number one of 1987 out and have a proper contest.

 

[lolly]

Always On My Mind may not be too near the top of my favourite singles of all time, but it's quite possibly got the best production of a big pop song I've ever heard. Utterly immaculate.

 

[Halli]

That was really hard!

 

[disneyteletubby]

For once I can 'hear' all of these as I read them though there were better ones that are now out.
(Not a fan of 3rd one, like the others, and of course love the last )

 

[GinAg (39)]

1988 was the first year I got into pop and I have no regrets.

 

[Jocasta Clun]

What the ACTUAL FUCK is HONKING NIGHTMARE TIFFY doing in your FINAL FIVE? HONESTLY I DESPAIR OF YOU PEOPLE
