Yes, fairly well-known to most, these...
Special mention to Bucks Fizz, this song was also a runaway Eurovision winner - extremely catchy, it sticks in the collective memory of many Brits who grew up in the 80's...
George Michael's effort was the first British #1 to be sung, written, produced, arranged and played (all the instrumentation was by George) by the same person...!
A big panic went through the British record industry when it was revealed that 'Heart' was one of the lowest-selling #1's ever...

1980 - Call Me - Blondie
Not my favourite blonde hit - not the worst though. 2
1981 - Making Your Mind Up - Bucks Fizz
Yeah great! 'If you wanna speed things up . . .' 4
1982 - Ebony & Ivory - Paul McCartney with Stevie Wonder
I like this one as well. 3
1983 - Let's Dance - David Bowie
I like this one - video was pants though. 3
1984 - Hello - Lionel Richie
Nah. Too boring - video made me laugh though. Especially the part where Lionel times it just right to sing 'hello' to the lady on the phone 1
1985 - We Are The World - USA For Africa
Was this really No 1? Unreal. As far as I was concerned, this was jumping on the Band-Aid Bandwagon - mawkish. 1
1986 - A Different Corner - George Michael
A bit boring. You can tell Michael did it all himself. 1
1987 - La Isla Bonita - Madonna
Not her best. It's good enough though. 3
1988 - Heart - Pet Shop Boys
Don't know this too well. I don't think I was impressed with this . . . 1
1989 - Eternal Flame - The Bangles
Not bad. 3
