    Sticking to the topic of a top 10 (although in no particular order) - these are my top 80's floorfillers over the past 3 months or so.

    1. The Only way Is Up - Yazz & The Plastic Population
    2. Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
    3. Take On Me - A-ha (although I use a great live version)
    4. Tainted Love - Soft Cell
    5. I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston
    6. Let's Here It For The Boy - Denice Williams
    7. A Little Respect - Erasure
    8. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Wham
    9. Uptown Girl - Billy Joel
    10. Just Can't Get Enough - Depeche Mode

    No real suprises in that list I'm afraid!
