    I requested Ghost Town on hospital radio when I was in there on one of the two times when I was about 10-11 (even back then I was in and out of hospital!). I loved the song, still do. My request the other time was Tom Hark, but that was a Reds thing. Obviously, at aged 10-11, the political aspect went over my head (just as the message of Too Much Too Young did!), I just thought they were great, exciting songs.

    Because it only made number 4 in the UK and thus does not meet the brief.

    Ok now lets move onto 1987, and the top songs of the year.
    What good memories then, do we all have of the music from that year ?. :)

    1983 was the first year I remember really taking notice of the music around me. It was also the first year we had a cassette recorder, so I remember sitting there recording the Top 40 on a Sunday, aged 4/5. There were some superb Number 1 singles that year. Billie Jean by Wacko Jacko, Let's Dance by Bowie and Every Breath You Take by The Police were the standouts, and I still enjoy listening to Down Under by Men At Work occasionally.

    There were some other cracking hits that year that didn't quite make it to the top of the charts.

    Ok after a little break, its time to remember the 80s number 1's again. Here we go with 1988, what memories does this bring back. :)
