O/T Mega Poptastic Pop Quiz (10)

[CAMiller]

Want something to lift the gloom of 5 consecutive defeats? All 80's and 90's UK hits that peaked at No 2 in the charts. Usual rules, song title and artist needed, NO Googling PLEASE (or at least no posting answers after you have) and limit yourself to 5 answers before taking a 24 hour break and giving others a chance. Do not fear if you are an old fart who prefers the 60's, these are not as hard as you would think, in fact some are really easy. It's not all electronic music, many songs were enjoying re-release in the 80s/90s but beware, some had new artists.
