VOTE - favourite 80s UK number one hit - 1989
Well, it's finally here, the final year to call for your votes. For the past few weeks, I have been trying to find out the ultimate UK number 1 hit, as voted for by DS punters. A winner has been found for 1980 to 1988 (including some ties) and now it's time for '89. As usual, select up to five of your favourites from the list.

The year Jason Donovan and Jive Bunny had THREE number ones each.
The year the music died.  Madonna- Like A Prayer The Bangles- Eternal Flame Simple Minds- Belfast Child- the most pompous song of all time, but still good in this company. And that's all you're getting! |

My top five are as follows;
Kylie and Jason - Especially for you Jason Donovan - Too many broken hearts Marc Almond and Gene Pitney - Something's gotten hold of my heart Madonna - Like a prayer The Bangles - Eternal Flame This has been one of the easier years to pick from - and the whole thing has been great fun.

1.- Kylie & Jason - Especially For You (guilty pleasure!
)2.- Kylie - Hand on Your Heart 3.- Soul II Soul feat. Caron Wheeler - Back to Life (However Do You Want Me) 4.- Sonia - You'll Never Stop Me From Loving You 5.- Lisa Stansfield - All Around The World Bubbling under are Madonna, Black Box, and the NKOTB. / *gulp* All are liked by me in equal measure. (But Soul II Soul and Lisa Stansfield are DEFINATELY great classics!  )

Soul II Soul and Simple Minds are the only ones worth a vote in there. OK - maybe Lisa Stansfield (who would have no career were it not for Coldcut, but there we go) as well.
