The only Wondersong I included too.
"Time (Clock of the Heart)" sounds R&B to me (I voted for it). As Kevin Bozelka once said, it's the best song ever written about being in love with a straight man.

Definitely Wham's finest moment.
Great results today. I'm really shocked we haven't had any Grace Jones yet. Only one Cameo song seems surprising too. Hopefully they'll both have a few songs further up. I'm also wondering if I should now give up hope of The Rain placing?
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 16 May 2017 21:06 (six years ago) link
Grace Jones sold few records in America and didn't get much play on R&B stations.
