    Let's keep it interesting and exclude the obvious ones - "Maniac 2000", "Aon Focail Eile" etc...

    This topped the chart here but only got to #2 in the UK, being held off the top spot by "Relax" - yep, Frankie beats Freddie...

    Some songs that got good radio play here and I assumed this was because they had a decent run in the UK charts

    Stand by REM #17 Ireland, #48 UK

    Walking in Memphis by Marc Cohn #7 Ireland, #22 UK (and that only after re-release it charted at #66 before!)

    Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams #18 Ireland, #42 UK

    I would say the same about that Chris Rea song, I assumed it was part of his late 80s UK purple patch
