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.

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.

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

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

[Nancy.]

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

[Niamh.]

Come on Like a Prayer

[Tony Montana]

Looks like MJ’s got this.

I'd be happy with a Billie Jean win also

[Niamh.]

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

Thanks Shaun, these games have been fun

[Tony Montana]

Amazing top 4. Happy with Madonna winning!

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]

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".

[Parmy]

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