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?
This has been fun

My unsolicited comment on the results: I'm a bit surprised that Down Under is so low in the list (being one of the most uplifting songs ever and, of course, Australia's national anthem
). I also wished Tears for Fears to be up in the list, being one of my favourite bands. I even never heard the song by The Pogues before (but I'm from Spain, and I know this was from the UK top lists). And, honestly, I'm also surprised Fast Car to be that up (not bad, but fourth?).
Thank you very much to all the people involved in this, and specially Hannah for the ride!
