So here's some singles that I listened to in my youth from the dreaded collection. As per usual ranging from the easy to near impossible, and hopefully listed in that order.
1. Only You
Released in 1983, this song entered the UK top 50 on 27th November and spent 9 weeks there, claiming the no.1 spot for 5 weeks in a row and snagging the coveted christmas no.1 spot.
2. Hong Kong Garden
Released in 1978, this song entered the UK top 50 on 20th August and spent 9 weeks there, peaking at no.7.
3. No Particular Place to Go
Released in 1964, this song entered the UK top 50 on 7th May and spent 12 weeks there, peaking at no.3.
4. Let's Dance
Released in 1962, this song entered the UK top 50 on 4th October and spent 18 weeks there, claiming the no.2 spot for 4 weeks in a row. Surely one of the all-time robbed No.1s.
5. Let There Be Drums
Released in 1961, this song first entered the UK top 50 on 14th December and spent 16 weeks there, claiming the 3 or 4 spot in a flip-flopping fashion for 5 weeks in a row.
6. My Brave Face
Released in 1989, this song first entered the UK top 50 on 14th May and spent 4 weeks there, peaking at no.18.
7. A Taste of Honey
Released in 1963, this song first entered the UK top 50 on 24th January and spent 9 weeks there, peaking at no.16 for two weeks in a row.
8. Pictures of Matchstick Men
Released in 1989, this song failed to enter the UK top 50, though their album did better.
9. For Her Light
Released in 1990, this song just missed out on the UK top 50 when it peaked at no.54 briefly.
10. Throwback
Released in 1989, this song did not chart in the UK top 50. Even though the performer was one with very prestigious credibility.
The race is on for the easy ones!
