Number 1's of 1986 in The UK

Two number one records of 1986 were later returned to the top spot as charity records for comic relief. Boyzone did when the going gets tough and Gareth Gates covered the cover version of spirit in the sky, originally a number 1 for one hit wonder Norman Greenbaum in 1970.

Sir Cliff recycled his 1959 classic number 1 living doll with the young ones as backing singers. The 1985 version of living doll was a comedy charity version. Unfortunately comedy records are only funny once, the second time you hear the song you know the joke, and after a few more listens it becomes boring, in fact very boring indeed. However you cant knock the King of UK rock'n'roll and the young ones TV show was brilliant, so this tune escapes our pop flops of the 80s list, unlike the chicken song. However the Chicken song is a decent parody of naff records so it almost manages to escape the naughty list, but only almost. we could also be wrong but we think reet petite held the record as the record taking the longest to get to number one from when it was first realeased in 1957. This record is now held by Tony Christie with Amarillo
