UK Top Ten: July 1984

So here we are at the height of the Eighties: Ronald Reagan is heading for another election win, Thatcher has defeated the miners but the world of pop was in rude health. This particular chart hits the right notes, with British acts bookending US chart-toppers such as Prince, Cyndi Lauper and that woman again, Tina Turner. Sprinkle a bit of early hip hop and alternative comedy and you got yourself a good chart. 1984 wasn't Room 101 after all but it wasn't Autotune stamping on the human ear forever either...
