I found most of the hits we had for 1985 were more US based.  I did find a few we got, that the US didn't get such as The Riddle

You got 6 out of 7.  You got 1 more to go :)

Well, if it wasn't for the hints...

#39 is Slade, but I don't know the song.

#81 is John Waite, but again - a blank on the song.



#1 for Pia Zadora :o I knew that song hit #1 somewhere :)



I know she barely scratched the surface in US, but we didn't know her like the Americans knew her of course.

Nevertheless, I think it's a great song. :)
