TiBB's Favourite #1 of the 1980s! [Results!]

[Shaun]

Okay, so Blondie's "Atomic" tied with Bonnie Tyler and Tiffany in the second semi-final, and since I voted for Blondie and not the other two there, I decided to ignore my vote and put the other two through to the final so we'd have a nice, round 10.

The following ten songs are the only songs left in the game, and all I'm now asking you to do is rank them in order of preference. Putting a song first gives it 10 points towards the final results, whilst placing it tenth gives it only 1 point.

I'm still flabbergasted by how badly Ghost Town did in its first group. It's... one of Britain's most defining anthems, and sounds like nothing else.

Right then, the results are in. There are thankfully no ties, and 3 different songs lead the voting at some point.

[Niamh.]

Come on Like a Prayer

[Tony Montana]

Looks like MJ’s got this.

In 2nd place...
"Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson - 174pts

And the winner is...
"Like a Prayer" by Madonna - 190pts!

Thank you all for voting - the points tallies here were actually larger than the 90s edition, so I guess we're all more nostalgic than we thought. Will there be a 70s edition, you ask? Maybe. But not for a while.

[Niamh.]

Oh yay, my top3 are exactly the same in this decade too :love:

Thanks Shaun, these games have been fun

[Tony Montana]

Amazing top 4. :clap1: Happy with Madonna winning! :love:

Great job again Shaun, I actually think I enjoyed this more than the 90's even though I'm a bigger fan of the latter.

[Shaun]

Will there be a 70s edition, you ask? Maybe

I've just seen the first #1 of that decade was Rolf Harris' "Two Little Boys", so maybe it's best left alone :ninja2:

[Niamh.]

I've just seen the first #1 of that decade was Rolf Harris' "Two Little Boys", so maybe it's best left alone :ninja2:

:laugh2:

[Shaun]

In fact the whole start to the decade is GRIM, dominated by Slade, various Osmonds and novelty singles. And then ABBA come along, bring Donna Summer and disco with them, and it might actually stand a chance at being successful.

1979 alone has some diamonds that all scream potential finalist... "I Will Survive", "YMCA", "Heart of Glass", "Tragedy", "Sunday Girl", "Video Killed the Radio Star", "Cars", "Ring My Bell", "Message in a Bottle".

[Beso]

I was at Kenrick lowes house this morning..lovely man.

[Mokka]

Madonna can win... she is the 80s!!!

[Maxxie.]

I've just seen the first #1 of that decade was Rolf Harris' "Two Little Boys", so maybe it's best left alone :ninja2:

that's a 60s no.1 anyway so it doesn't really count.

Quite a few Gary glitter no.1s in the 70s though mind :skull:

[Beso]

And number 2s

[Aaliyah]

So glad that Michael Jackson never won! Can never listen to his music after watching Leaving Neverland and what he did to those children.

Madonna a worthy winner, LAP is a classic!

[Withano]

Madonna is a try hard **** and you’re all tragic for disagreeing with me

[hijaxers]

Well i'm so glad Whitney didn't win I can't stand her, her voice, her songs , way too much warbling for me ,as are most of the gospel folk , just stay in church.
Sorry but it makes me cringe.

[Shaun]

there's...no gospel or warbling on "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", it's a pop-by-numbers song :unsure: interesting choice of words, mind...

[Mokka]

there's...no gospel or warbling on "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", it's a pop-by-numbers song :unsure: interesting choice of words, mind...

Yes, very racially specific wasn't it?

I got the album for my birthday when I was in grade six. It was the first tape I owned that was mine, so I will always love this song.

[Nancy.]

Omg, I really thought MJ was going to win. What a lovely surprise. :cheer2:

[Saph]

not 'I wanna dance with somebody' being gospel :skull:
