Hi Gavin, Thank you for posting these charts & the information. I always find them interesting reading. Scary for me to think that this time 30 years ago I had just started High School.....
Touch Me (I Want Your Body), What Have You Done For Me Lately, Stimulation, Pistol In My Pocket, Let's Go All The Way, All The Things She Said, C'mon C'mon and All I Need Is A Miracle debut.
Plus, top 50 misses from Wax, Mr Mister, Julian Lennon and ZZ Top.
You're The Voice, Walk This Way, Stay, We Don't Have To..., Heartbeat, I Didn't Mean To Turn You On and Rage Hard debut.
Plus, top 50 misses from Koo De Tah, The Monkees, Nicole (not the Eurovision winner), The Moody Blues, Hoodoo Gurus, Love And Money, Stevie Nicks and Gwen Guthrie.
Walk Like An Egyptian, You Keep Me Hangin' On, Everybody Have Fun Tonight, Hip To Be Square, Don't Stand So Close To Me 86 and Through The Barricades debut.
Plus, top 50 misses from Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Til Tuesday, Mike Mareen, Talking Heads, John Forgerty and Billy Joel.
Wang Chung and Huey Lewis & The News, two clips you should not watch after a serious "night on the turps" then; and an advert for some aspirin before viewing now.
Apologies for repeat posting, but I assume some people might look at 1986 and not 1983.
Anyway...
I could've used the break between chart flashbacks to have a break from blogging. Instead, I've compiled a list of all the number 2 hits on the Australian chart from the 80s.
Thanks Gavin! Don't know where you find the time to do this, but really appreciate it. Is your info from the Kent report? So used to thinking some of these No.2's were actually No.1's as seen on Countdown, like 'Brass In Pocket' and ''Babooshka' to name a couple from 1980.
Always felt sorry for Colleen stalling at No.2 for 5 weeks, kept off the No.1 spot by Queen...and there's Belinda Carlisle - a No.2 with 'Our Lips Are Sealed' and a solo No.2 with 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth'.
