Probably trying to cash in on the success of China in Your Hand, this was T'Pau's second entry in the series and on a much lower level to be honest.
The fifth single of their debut album and I'm finding it all just a bit blegh, not for me.

A bit of fun that I enjoy, Billy Idol conjuring up a mix of new wave and punk and it led to a relatively fun track.
His second entry into the series, it originally charted in 82 upon its release, before having more success in 88 in the UK on the back of a remix.
Definitely top 100 worthy and a good summer jam in my opinion.

Just an all round brilliant song, by an Irish artist who has tragically passed away.
It treads the line of pop and rock at times, both yet neither at the same time if that makes sense.
I love a lot of her work, obviously she's courted controversy and had a sad life, but at the heart of it all she made some brilliant brilliant music.
This was her first real big hit I feel, her second single of her debut album and it's simply brilliant.
Could go number 1, but settled for the top 5.

And then in total contrast to Sinead O'Connor, there's this, the first entry from English gothic rock band the Mission.
Not for me, I do like post-punk/gothic stuff now and again, but this is wasted on me to be honest and I'm still buzzing from Mandinka.
Never heard of this band before today and not overly interested in diving into their catalogue.

This is a good bit of fun from Australian popstar Kylie Minogue off her debut album way back.
I imagine she needs no introduction, she's been going strong for years and I would be safe in assuming that this will be the first of many to show up in this series.
Catchy and fun as hell, not cracking the top 50, but it's earned a place in the top 100 for now.

I can dig it, we're definitely moving more towards the 90's now, one of 4 consecutive top 10 hits for Mel & Kim, who's careers were unfortunately far too short as discussed previously.

A different side of R&B and funk compared to the last track only this time I'm struggling to get it.
This my first time listening to Joyce Sims, this being her big single off her debut album of the same name back in 87, she passed away back in 2022, RIP.
Not getting much for me here, but it did reasonably well around Europe by all accounts.

Really going down the R&B route in the second half of NOW 11 compared to first, a second entry by producer John 'Jellybean' Benitez, this time featuring Elisa Fiorillo.
It's alright, not blowing me away or anything but mildly catchy, seem to do relatively well in hitting 10 in the UK, but both Jellybean and Elisa Fiorillo haven't shown up much beyond this, probably on a par with his last track featuring Steve Dante.

The fifth entry from Bananarama, and whilst probably my least favourite of the 5 so far, it's still catchy and a solid pop hit.
Off their fourth album, this definitely has more of a 90's vibe going on and it continues the aesthetic of the NOW 11.
Fun, but not their best work for sure.
