I might as well tie it all together.
Having now listened to all the UK Number 1s, I'll run down my favourite 25.
I made a nice little playlist of my top 5 from each decade and added a few others, to help me decide.
This is very loose, it really is just what I'm feeling this week, but I think it's a good snapshot of the most interesting songs that have achieved popularity over the last 70 years.
The order of things is already a bit different from the individual lists for each decade ...
1. Going Underground - The Jam. I think this must be my favourite, after all.
2. Diamonds - Rihanna. This is a much more transient choice. I just love it at the moment.
3. Why Do Fools Fall in Love? - Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers
4. Brimful of Asha - Cornershop
5. Dancing Queen - ABBA
6. Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
7. Would I Lie to You? - Charles and Eddie
8. Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel
9. We Can Work it Out - The Beatles
10. Umbrella - Rihanna
11. With Every Heartbeat - Robyn ft Kleerup
12. There Must Be An Angel - Eurythmics
13. You Don't Have to Say You Love Me - Dusty Springfield
14. Like a Prayer - Madonna
15. Independent Women Pt 1 - Destiny's Child
16. Good Vibrations - The Beach Boys
17. Heart of Glass - Blondie
18. Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Connor
19. What Was I Made For? - Billie Eilish
20. Mack the Knife - Bobby Darin
21. Uptown Top Ranking - Althea and Donna
22. Concrete and Clay - Unit 4+2
23. Stand and Deliver - Adam and the Ants
24. Geno - Dexys Midnight Runners
25. The Promise - Girls Aloud
