5th December 1981 for one week
WTAF. This is total crap.
How did this reach the chart at all, never mind Number One. The video makes it look like a business man doing karaoke.
I’ve never heard this before and hope I never do again.

Adam and the Ants – Stand And Deliver
9th May 1981 for five weeks
Stand And Deliver is a million seller. I can’t quite comprehend that. This was before the days of streaming… before the days of downloading. This was when people actually had to make the effort to go to the shops to buy a record. One million people did that, for this record. WTF?
I cannot understand the appeal of this record. It is crap.
I’ve really tried to like it and I’m trying to like it more, the more I listen to it. But I can’t. It gets worse if anything.

St Winifred’s School Choir -There’s No One Quite Like Grandma
27th December 1980 for two weeks
There are no words to describe how bad this song is.
How did this reach Number 1? Who bought it? And why? If ever there needed to be a public inquiry it is to investigate what happened here.

Lena Martell – One Day At A Time
27th October 1979 for three weeks
What the hell is this? I’ve not heard of it ever before two minutes ago. And I hope to God I never do again.
It was Number 1 for three weeks! After some of the classics of the year, what were people thinking in buying this?!
Even Wikipedia can’t be bothered with the Lena Martell version, giving three other versions a higher profile, reducing this version to almost a footnote.
