Plus, top 50 misses from The Takeaways, Donna Summer, DD Smash and Vicki Sue Robinson.

I can't believe 'The Lucky One' only scraped into the Top 50. I think it's up there with her best and always assumed it probably made Top 30 and always thought a bigger hit since it was on 'H'its Hot 84/85'. 'Glam To Wham' is my favourite Takeaways song. Another poor chart performance. I wish The Takeaways performed on Countdown and they should have when they hosted the show in October '84 - as Christine was one of the three hosts
