"Best Years Of Our Lives" by Modern Romance, possibly the worst song Tony Visconti ever produced, made it to number four #FuckTheCharts
"The Downtown Lights" by the Blue Nile, one of the greatest songs of the eighties, peaked at #67. "What Kinda Boy You Lookin' For (Girl)" by Hot Chocolate, one of the worst songs of the eighties, made the top ten #FuckTheCharts
Purple Rain (the album) only peaked at #7 in the UK, in Feb '85. It was outsold that week by, amongst other things, She's The Boss by Mick Jagger #FuckTheCharts
What an immense and brilliant time capsule of a pop record. Made #33 in '67 and took 32 years, a car ad, the lounge revival and Chris Evans to get it into the top ten #FuckTheCharts
