Anybody else been following this?

Tomorrow and Friday will be seeing the top two revealed. Only one single per artist in the 100. Beatles at number three.

So - what are the best two singles to reach number one?

Joe Dolce and Rolf Harris for my money.

My word, I have just looked at the first lot on display. Dead Or Alive at number 5? I am definitely not in tune with whomever came up with this as I had that down as one of the 5hittest tunes of the 80s. In other news I am clearly becoming an old fart since I have never heard of Lil Nas X.

Lil Nas X - Old Town Road was the song that featured Billy Ray Cyrus last year - not sure it should be that high up though.

I guess Bohemian Rhapsody will be one of the top two

Edit: someone already mentioned it was 46

Will most likely be Oasis as they get royally sucked off in these lists. Maybe they have already been mentioned but I stopped looking after seeing Carly Rae Jepsen at 20.

No, it is already on the list but way down the pecking order. Laurie Anderson's 'Oh Superman' hasn't featured yet though.

Apologies hit the wrong arrow.

Perhaps that’s what is battling the specials for the top spot?

ghost town is no. 2, which is only one place from where it should've been!

Whilst waiting for the #1 to appear tomorrow I can highly recommend the PSB Hyde Park performance available on iplayer if you haven't seen it.

I think West End Girls is an OK shout although I was 16 when it was released so it strikes a certain chord.

That list is a mess. Think the authors have a massive hard on/wide on for the 80s as it seems heavily skewed to that era. Personally I make the 80s a weak decade in the history of modern music. Pet Shop Boys at number 1 is mental. Their music is dreary AF. The Flight of the Concords pastiche of them is far more enjoyable than anything they ever produced.
