heifer’s weight far closer than the

expert. So, for our feature charting
The Best Eighties Singles In The
World... Ever!, we decided to
tap the wisdom of the crowd –
asking as many people as possible
– and get a definitive result.
We opened the floodgates for
readers, tweeters and anyone
who cared to email us their
nominations. One thing we
avoided, though, was visiting fan
sites to promote what we were
doing. The last thing we wanted
was a load of Johnny Hates Jazz
fans, for example, weighing in
S U B S C R I B E
and skewing the results. They
can be very feisty, the Jazz fans.
More about all that in the main
feature but, suffice to say, we can
now definitively say – and with
swarm-level or, rather, bovine-
level accuracy – that
Classic Pop
can present the 100 best singles
to have been released during the
golden age of pop.
From protest songs to novelty
hits, uplifting anthems to tear-
drenched ballads, all musical
life is here. And I don’t think any
other decade could come up
with 100 singles that cover such
a wide range of musical styles,
from the corrosive gothica of
She
Sells Sanctuary
to the post-modern
ballet of
Running Up That Hill.
Now that we’ve tapped into
the wisdom of the crowd, our
Top 100 can only get more and
more accurate. So if you don’t
see your favourite singles in
the chart, get in touch! You could
even Instagram us some pictures
of what you would define as
classic pop. Maybe, as this thing
develops, the Inspiral Carpets
might even get a placing.
