1980s Christmas Hit Singles (UK)
Wow! There are some corkers here aren't there? Leaving aside the three obviously naff ones, step forward St. Winifred's, Renne & Renato and Cliff Richard, the rest are solid gold, top tunes. From the greatest 80's number 1 single, Don't You Want Me, to the Pet Shop Boys cover of the Elvis classic, You Were Always On My Mind they all resonate. The dross that is served up nowadays by Mr Cowell and his ilk just wouldn't stand a chance. Even the best Chritmas number 1 of recent times, 2003's Mad World by Michael Andrews featuring Gary Jules, is a cover of an eighties hit by Tears For Fears. I rest my case.
