1983 TOTP No.1s

To me songs from Top of  the Pops from 1983 seems to be the best of the 80's single in Britain, back then only few American singers can break into the British TOTP chart.


Here are the No.1s songs. First No. 1  is by Phil Collins - You Can't Hurry Love, it stays 2 weeks at the top. Phil Collins is the former drummer for the group Genesis and regarded as the best percussionist of his era


Week ending 15.01.1983-Phil Collins - You Can't Hurry Love


Second No.1 of the year is Men At Work -Down Under, this is the only ever UK No 1 for this Australian Duo that went on to find international fame in the US.
