1984 – Oasis – Max and Hal – LISTEN AGAIN HERE

Todays Replay included a visit to 1984 with the top selling hits of the year – You can catch an edited version of the show here – [audio:https://www.phoenixfm.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/SR-2.9.12.mp3|titles=SR 2.9.12]

1 Do They Know It’s Christmas – Band Aid – selling a million copies in the first week alone. It stayed at Number 1 for five weeks, becoming Christmas number one, and sold more than 3.5 million copies in UK

2 I Just Called To Say I Love You – Stevie Wonder – became Wonder’s only solo UK number-one success, staying at the top for six weeks.
3 Relax – Frankie Goes To Hollywood
4 Two Tribes – Frankie Goes To Hollywood – The group’s debut single “Relax” was banned by the BBC in 1984 while at number six in the charts and subsequently topped the UK singles chart for five consecutive weeks, going on to enjoy prolonged chart success throughout that year and ultimately becoming the seventh best-selling UK single of all time (as of May 2006). After the follow-up success of “Two Tribes” and “The Power of Love,” FGTH became only the second act in the history of the UK charts to reach number one with their first three singles; the first being fellow Liverpudlians Gerry & the Pacemakers in 1964. –
5 Careless Whisper – George Michael – became a huge commercial success on both sides of the Atlantic. It reached number one in nearly 25 countries, selling about six million copies worldwide.
6 Last Christmas – Wham – well it’s only 113 days until Christmas!
7 Hello – Lionel Richie – In an interview on Channel 4’s Top 100 Number One Hits, Richie said he had been thanked by a large number of normally tongue-tied men who had proposed marriage after a slow dance to the song. Hello, Is it me you’re looking for?
8 Agadoo – Black Lace – In a poll for Q magazine in 2003, a panel of music writers voted “Agadoo” as the worst song of all time, saying: “It sounded like the school disco you were forced to attend, your middle-aged relatives forming a conga at a wedding party, a travelling DJ act based in Wolverhampton, every party cliche you ever heard.” The panel also described it as “magnificently dreadful”
9 Freedom – Wham – “Freedom” was #1 in the UK for three weeks and featured on the album Make It Big, which was issued at the same time.
10 Ghostbusters – Ray Parker Junior – peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart on 16 September 1984, where it stayed for three weeks.

3@3 This week was from these Jolly Chaps –

Oasis

I Played Wonderwall/Stop Crying Your Heart Out/Don’t Look Back in Anger

Elton John vs Pnau – Sad

Then in a small tribute to Max Bygraves – You’re a Pink Toothbrush

Queen – Don’t Stop Me Now

Followed by three in a row from the pen of Hal David, a magnificent songwriter who has just died aged 91

BJ Thomas – Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head

Louis Armstrong – We Have All The Time In The World

The Carpenters – Close To You

Robbie Williams – Millennium

Luther Vandross – Give Me a Reason
