For the sheer hell of it, I’d like to find out people’s favourite number one song from the UK 1980s singles chart.

When I say “people”, I mean anyone who can be bothered to take part in this random Twitter poll.

From the postings on this thread, tell me your favourite song from each year, from 1981 to 1989. I’ll give the deadlines for casting your votes.

The ten songs from each year with the most votes will be put into two groups of five, a semi-final, if you will. Choose your favourite song from each group.

The two winning songs from each semi-final group will go through to the grand final. Choose your favourite song from the two semi-finalists and we will have a winner!

So, without further ado, here are your number one songs for 1980, from the UK singles chart.

Here are your number one songs for 1981, from the UK singles chart.

Here are your number one songs for 1982, from the UK singles chart.
