Best pop song of all time??

[doadeer]

If you could only say one... And why?

For me... It's Tina Turner - The Best.... The lyrics, the best, so iconic. I think it's simply the best 🤣

Say hello wave goodbye is my fav soft cell song but tainted love is a classic !

Can’t pick just one!

Pet shop boys - always on my mind
Madonna - like a prayer
Whitney - I wanna dance with somebody
Take that - pray
Fearghal sharkey - a good heart
Simply red - sunrise
All saints - never ever
Ultravox - Vienna

Nathan Jones by The Supremes. Sheer class.

Cruel Summer-Bananarama
Go West -Pet Shop Boys
Temptation-Heaven 17
Black Box-Ride on Time

Don't get the Mr Brightside love at all, but I am an 80s type.

Maggie May by Rod Stewart

A Liitle Respect by Erasure has it all for me. But I just Can't Get Enough by Depeche Mode is up there too.

OMD, Enola gay
Walk the moon, Lost in the wild

That Russian one where he is dressed like he's in a bondage club from the year 2100 and trills his tongue all the time.

It's a trip for both the eyes and ears.

I have no idea what this is but it sounds amazing 😂

A-ha. Take on me is definitely a classic

Huh, yeah, woo
Hey yeah, huh
Ooh yeah, uh huh, yeah
I wanna dance
Clock strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
I've done alright up 'til now
It's the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls
Loneliness calls
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
I've been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Sooner or later the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Somebody who, somebody who
Somebody who loves me
Somebody who, somebody who
To hold me in his arms, oh
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oooh
(Dance)
You know, baby
(Dance)
Woo, yeah
(Dance)
Now get with this
Woah
Don't you wanna dance (dance) with me, baby?
Don't you wanna dance (dance) with me, boy?
Hey, don't you wanna dance (dance) with me, baby?
With somebody who loves me
Don't you wanna dance?
Say you wanna dance?
Don't you wanna dance?
(Dance)
Don't you wanna dance?
Say you wanna dance?
Don't you wanna dance?
(Dance)
Don't you wanna dance?
Say you wanna dance, uh-huh (dance)
With somebody who loves me
Oooh (dance)
Oooh (dance)
Oooh (dance)
Hey baby

Blame it on the boogie

Aztec Camera - Oblivious, or Simple Minds - I Travel. Both the best pop songs ever. Human League’s Louise - much love. I was a girl of the eighties. And I like to make sure everyone knows it.

Oh, and Heaven 17’s Temptation and anything by Soft Cell. As previous wise posters have mentioned.

Far too many to choose from but a short list

Aha-Take on me
Runaway-Sunstroke project
All Star-smash mouth
Haddaway-what is love
Dragostea din tei-ozone
Whats up- 4 non blondes.
Chubawumba-tubthimpin
Backstreet boys-everybody
Backstreet boys-I want it that way.
Reel2reel-I like to move it

Mr president-coco jamboo
Walk like an Egyptian-the bangles
live is life-Opus
Vienna-Ultravox
informer-snow
BAHA men-who let the dogs out
MC hammer-can't touch this
Eiffel 65- blue

Temptation by Heaven 17 was on all the time when I was out up the pubs.
I also like ' hold me now' by the Thompson twins.

7th element-vitas?

Never can say goodbye and Don't leave me this way - The Communards

Never Gonna Give you Up - Rick Astley

Wanna Dance with Somebody - Whitney Houston

Club Tropicana - Wham

Streetlife- Randy Crawford

Another one for Bad Romance actually.

Yes - McAlmont and Butler Is a beauty of a song though

Somewhere in my heart (and many other Aztec Camera contenders)
Gold, Spandau Ballet
Never can say goodbye , Gloria Gaynor
Just like heaven, the Cure
Bizarre Love Triangle, New Order
Drama, Erasure

Very much agree with the Whole of the Moon

Two Tribes - frankie goes to Hollywood

Despite all the banning on Radio 1 debacle Frankie Goes to Hollywood's 'Relax' is a corking pop song.

Eye of the Tiger, Survivor
Sit Down, James

Or - for pure Kitsch - The One and Only, Chesney Hawkes

Mr blue sky - ELO I think is my all time favourite song, but I love loads of the songs already mentioned.

Conchita - rise like a phoenix

Simple Minds! Yes!

Personally, I would say, "Speed Your Love to Me" but I'll take "I Travel" too.
