60
	OLIVER’S ARMY Elvis Costello This soon became Costello’s biggest hit, peaking at #2 in Britain.
59
	TRAIN IN VAIN The Clash  Issued in the U.S.A. as “Train In Vain (Stand By Me)”. Lifted off the punk band’s ‘London Calling’ LP.
58
	IT’S DIFFERENT FOR GIRLS Joe Jackson English singer/ songwriter’s self-penned single lifted off his 1979 album ‘I’m The Man’.
57
	SPIRITS (HAVING FLOWN) Bee Gees The title track from The Bee Gees’ follow-up album to the ‘Saturday Night Fever’ movie soundtrack.
56
	VENGEANCE Carly Simon Lifted off the American singer / songwriter’s album ‘Spy’, this song was penned by Simon and produced by Arif Mardin.
55
	99 Toto Toto’s debut album was greeted with praise. The same could not be said for ‘Hydra’, their 2nd studio LP. The single “99” was the exception on that inferior release.
54
	BAD CASE OF LOVING YOU Robert Palmer A remake of Moon Martin’s 1978 original recording. This topped the Canadian chart during 1979.
53

52
	WE LIVE FOR LOVE Pat Benatar Female rocker’s 2nd charting single, from her debut album ‘In The Heat Of The Night’. Avoid the re-recorded version, the original 1979 single recording is far superior.
51
	ANGELEYES Abba The B-side for the single “Voulez-Vous”. In some territories, the 2 were listed as a double A-sided disc.
