I found most of the hits we had for 1985 were more US based. I did find a few we got, that the US didn't get such as The Riddle
You got 6 out of 7. You got 1 more to go :)

Well, if it wasn't for the hints...
#39 is Slade, but I don't know the song.
#81 is John Waite, but again - a blank on the song.
#1 for Pia Zadora :o I knew that song hit #1 somewhere :)
I know she barely scratched the surface in US, but we didn't know her like the Americans knew her of course.
Nevertheless, I think it's a great song. :)
