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?

Grace Jones sold few records in America and didn't get much play on R&B stations.

I love the Zapp song (it was an unfortunate last-minute squeeze-out on my ballot) but I'm surprised to see it so high. I can only assume that Roger is still to come?
I'm starting to assess the likely no-shows from my ballot. I guess we aren't going to see Slave if they haven't shown up by this point? That's a shame.

Good start to the results today. I've been listening to Zapp and that first Roger album a lot recently. Great stuff.
So happy to finally see Grace Jones make it. I'm guessing if Pull Up To The Bumper is this high that means Slave To The Rhythm is the only other one that stands a chance of placing. I voted for My Jamaican Guy, Nipple To The Bottle and I'm Not Perfect as well as well.
Saturday Love is a wonderful song. Alexander and Cherrelle were on such a roll from 84-88.
