Is this a single from 1980 ? A Forest was the 1980 release, and got to No.31 Boys Don't Cry was released in 1979, and got to No.22 in 1986 Just testing you Windy, shouldn't you be in the Railway Arms sorting out tomorrow nights soiree? Their album of the same title was released in 1980 I'll have think about a replacement Tomorrow night's sorted Steve. Nelson's fixing up some grub and we hope you'll make it along

Here is my top 20, in no particular order. I think they all fit the criteria: The Cure โ Boys Donโt Cry Is this a single from 1980 ? A Forest was the 1980 release, and got to No.31 Boys Don't Cry was released in 1979, and got to No.22 in 1986 Ok, I have edited my list and have substituted the above for I Am The Beat by The Look. It made the chart in December 1980 and so just snuck in

Good choices Windy. Glad to see another shout for Green Onions. You can't miss an opportunity like this to include a chart re-entry of a classic like "Green Onions". One of the best instrumental single records ever IMO.

Spot on Windy. January 1981 I think which was 6 months after the Album.
I've changed my choice in my original post now.

It is funny how there is quite a difference in chart hits between countries. I think these all appeared in the UK charts. And so in no particular order:
Atomic, Blondie Call me, Blondie The tide is high, Blondie (Gosh didn't they have a good year in 1980 !) Brass in Pocket, The Pretenders Love will tear us apart, Joy Division I got you, Split Enz Emotional Rescue, Rolling Stones Babooshka, Kate Bush Fashion, David Bowie You can't stop the music, Village People London Calling, The Clash To cut a long story short, Spandau Ballet You shook me all night, ACDC I could be so good for you, Dennis Waterman Xanadu, Olivia Newton John All over the world, ELO Turning Japanese, The Vapours The winner takes it all, ABBA Working my way back to you, Detroit Spinners Going Underground, The Jam
