[Blondini]

The Erasure EP is basically a single called "Stop" with b-sides that no-one ever really played.

No, it's an EP that is beloved among fans that bought it. Most charting EPs only get airplay for one song. See also The Specials' number one EP featuring Too Much Too Young. It's just rare for EP's to be so popular.
The other tracks did get a little airplay on Radio 1 - She Won't Be Home has become a minor festive classic.

I guess that "Perfect" must be back due to later success somewhere other than the UK (unless this is a mistake?) - while the somewhat Christmassy-sounding hit for the German group whose name was abbreviated here had been a massive hit in their homeland, in its original language, a few months after the previous Christmas :

Milli Vanilli are hard to Vote for. I liked some of 'their' Hits. However, they never

of the Duo to kill himself...
