Benny wrote:Twilight Zone" was already added a few months ago.
What about the songs from Erasure's "Abba-Esque EP" ? The EP entered the UK chart at number one 20 years ago.

Twilight Zone was indeed a UK entry in January.
The Black Crowes' Remedy was already added, too and is on the chart!

Yes. A big omission! #1 UK single! I take it it's just added as one entry and not 4 separate songs.

Dusty usually adds big omissions when someone points them out quickly so...

1 NEW Erasure - ABBA-esque EP (Lay All Your Love On Me/ Voulez-Vous/ S.O.S./ Take A Chance On Me)
Songs listed and linked in order of preference though the public seemed to think the reverse!

2 NEW Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness
The song that convinced me to get their album - still by far their best set. I'll let this sit at 2 for now and stay true to my Erasure love of the time (was only years later i got the ABBA originals which are better!).

3 1 Faith No More - Midlife Crisis
4 2 Suede - The Drowners
5 NEW A House - Endless Art
Great "list song" by Irish indie band.

6 3 Flowered Up - Weekender
7 4 The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy - Language Of Violence
8 5 L7 - Everglade
9 6 The Future Sound Of London - Papau New Guinea
10 7 Utah Saints with Kate Bush - Something Good
11 8 Tia Carrere - Ballroom Blitz
12 9 The Black Crowes - Remedy
13 10 Maire Brennan - Against The Wind
14 11 The Cure - Friday I'm In Love
15 12 Thomas Dolby - Close But No Cigar
16 13 Ugly Kid Joe - Everything About You
17 14 L7 - Pretend We're Dead
18 15 The Sisters Of Mercy with Ofra Haza - Temple Of Love
19 16 ZZ Top - Viva Las Vegas
20 17 The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy - Television, The Drug Of The Nation
21 18 Amy Grant - I Will Remember You
22 19 The Sugarcubes - Walkabout
23 20 (The) Aphex Twin - Digeridoo
24 NEW XTC - The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead
25 21 Alice Cooper - Feed My Frankenstein
26 22 Saint Etienne - Join Our Club
27 NEW The Beautiful South - Bell Bottomed Tear
28 23 Guns N Roses - Knockin' On Heaven's Door
29 24 WASP - The Idol
30 25 Shakespear's Sister - I Don't Care
31 26 The Lightning Seeds - Sense
32 27 Pop Will Eat Itself - Karmadrome
33 NEW Black Sabbath - TV Crimes
34 NEW George Michael - Toofunky
35 NEW Sylvian/ Sakamoto with Ingrid Chavez - Heartbeat (Tainai Kaiki II)
36 NEW Prefab Sprout - The Sound Of Crying
37 28 (The) Levellers - 15 Years
38 29 Gat Decor - Passion (original instrumental release)
39 30 The Fatima Mansions - Evil Man
40 31 Elton John - The One

And i'll bold this so MATTHEW DIXON notices!

and you're still voting for an obscure remix of Fools Gold. Do you realise that?

Yes. A big omission! #1 UK single! I take it it's just added as one entry and not 4 separate songs.

My initial guess would have been four separate songs - didn't they all have separate videos and get some radio airplay? However, I'm struggling to think of many other similar EPs for which this might have been the case (there were those by ELO in 1978 and the Monkees in 1979 - but they were collections of previous hits rather than new material), and, although double-A-sides are usually listed separately, I think EPs have indeed been treated as just one hit, so you could probably be right!

I have the four tracks separately on my chart:

Erasure - S.O.S. [1780]
Erasure - Lay All Your Love On Me [1837]
Erasure - Take A Chance On Me [1909]
Erasure - Voulez-Vous [2559]

- so the first three would be in at 8, 9 and 10 in my list if they are eligible this week, pushing "Workaholic" down to 11 and "Why Me" down to 12.

If the EP is to be rated overall, I guess I should add together the points scored by its four tracks - so it would be at number 6, with everything below falling one place.....
