Really was a mixed bag of No.1s during the 80s here. So many great songs never made it to the top. You have a load of songs from the likes of Madonna, Shakin' Stevins, Kylie and Jason while only one from Queen and none from the likes of Bon Jovi, The Cure, or REM. The latter probably having more success in the 90s.
I will post the final group of matches for the qualifiers shortly, will give it a 2 hour limit as its still early. Then we can meet back in the evening to see which losing songs have made it into Round 1 and kick off the round itself
