My Top 13 from 1984

Two things I remember from this year: firstly Frankie Goes to Hollywood dominated the charts, with The Power of Love, the awesome Two Tribes and their single Relax was banned, so of course it made #1. And there were two songs in the chart called Jump, by Van Halen and the Pointer Sisters (which I can never hear without seeing Hugh Grant's dad dancing scene in Love Actually).

1. Billy Joel - An Innocent Man - 03-1984
2. Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun - 02-1984
3. George Michael - Careless Whisper - 07-1984
4. Sister Sledge - Lost In Music - 09-1984
5. Jim Diamond - I Should Have Known Better - 11-1984
6. Foreigner - I Want To Know What Love Is - 12-1984
7. Van Halen - Jump - 03-1984
8. Queen - I Want To Break Free - 04-1984
9. Lionel Richie - Hello - 03-1984
10. Bruce Springsteen - Dancing In The Dark - 05-1984
