As I said previously, I did a chart for some 16 years, on and off, though 1987 had a few breaks, and then from the end of 1991 to 1995, but you get the idea.
I used to do a chart at the end of each year, and so the natural progression was a best of the decade chart.
Here it is:
1. Blue Monday - New Order
2. Shipbuilding - Robert Wyatt
3. Shadows of the Night - Pat Benatar
4. Happy Birthday - Altered Images
5. Tainted Love - Soft Cell
6. When Love Breaks Down - Prefab Sprout
7. Immigrant - Patrick
8. Antmusic - Adam and the Ants
9. Hit me With Your Best Shot - Pat Benatar
10. Missunderstanding - Genesis
11. Oblivious - Aztec Camera
12. Song to the Siren - This Mortal Coil
13. New Life - Depeche Mode
14. Sunbrst and Snowblind - Cocteau Twins
15. Deadringer - Meatloaf
16. Don't you Want me - Human League
17. I Could be Happy - Altered Images
18. Keep on Loving you - REO Speedwagon
19. She Sell Sanctuary - The Cult
20. Can't be Sure - The Sundays
21. The Back of Love - Echo and the Bunnymen
22. The Comeback - The Mighty Wah
23. How Soon is Now? - The Smiths
24. Temptation - New Order
25. Ironmasters - The Men They Couldn't Hang
26. Go Wild in the Country - Bow Wow Wow
27. Satisfaction - Wendy and Lisa
28. Bring on the Dancing Horses- Echo and the Bunnymen
29. Thieves Like Us - New Order
30. Back to Life - Soul II Soul
31. Rock the Casbah - The Clash
32. See Those Eyes - Altered Images
33. Under the Boardwalk - Tom Tom Club
