Our 1980s Top Twenty Chart Poll
The final chart. Many thanks for all your boosts and votes.
A clear divide between the top ten and bottom ten in this poll. Out of season, Fairytale of New York was not popular, while Bruce Springsteen did not do as well as I expected.
Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Time After Time quietly climbed the chart, but didn’t quite reach the qualifying places. Purple Rain in particular was extremely unlucky to miss out. More about the qualifying in a separate post.
What are your thoughts on this poll? How did your favourites fair?
@HannahHowe As usually, if given a choice between a sampler containing the top ten or one containing the bottom ten songs, I'd choose the latter.
