I'll consult Niamh, see if she minds me doing one, or maybe she'd like to host?

[Niamh.]

[MTVN]

Well done Jake :clap2: thanks for running this Kate

I am baffled I was the only one who went for Last Christmas though for the 80s song. Away in a Manger also proved a very bad answer in the end

[Kate!]

Do they Know it's Christmas was massive though because of the campaign around it and all the different artists who sang on it, it was a huge deal at the time worldwide, you're probably too young to remember it (probably weren't even born actually :laugh: ) when it came out though

'Probably' - yes just the nine years before I was born :idc:

That makes sense though, still thought a few more would go Wham as it was Christmas no. 1 again this year in the UK but I guess people don't really think about when it came out like they do with Band Aid

:laugh: I was only 6 when it came out but I remember it quite well (which is odd as i don't remember a lot from when I was that young)

It wasn't a number one in the 80s though.

[MTVN]

It wasn't a number one in the 80s though.

True but the question was about Christmas no. 1s from the 1980s not in the 1980s so I didn't think that mattered too much
