@SloMover My favourite PWL-Kylie track. The song is quite sad lyrically but the bubbly production and Kylie's perky delivery turn it into a sugary confection of a Pop song. Oh, and heart dresses.
@P'NutButter Fucking stunning classic pop song, my mum had this on 7" when I was growing up and I've always felt drawn to it.
@Mikey1701 I want to love this, but I feel like while it’s one of the parent’s album strongest moment (which isn’t difficult to be let’s face it), it pales when you look at it in the wider scope of Kylie’s back catalogue. As it is, it’s a very good track that falls short of greatness.
@VivaForever This was my favorite at one time, but I've gotten kind of sick of it. The WIP 2002 mix is pretty great though.
@Pop Gaz Pop perfection, Kylie at her very best. The “look me in the eye and tell me we are really through/you don’t want my love” line is just brilliant. Was a contender for my 11.
@DJHazey I don't understand why this song is loved so much, sounds bland as hell to me. A single you say? I would have been pounding my fist on the table demanding better back then.
@AlmostFamous This was a contender for my 11, it just hasn't ever gotten old to me and I love it, I've been in her situation before and straight after being dumped it came up on shuffle on the walk home, it made the walk a bit easier because I thought "Kylie has been through so much more shit than this and is fine, I will be too."
The "look me in the eye and tell me we are really through" is so powerful for what appears to be a lighthearted song. LOVE IT, and now my heart is aching I've not given it my 11.
@gezza76 Great choice for a first single and quite a touching lyric (as Jose Gonzalez’s cover version brings out)
@letuinmybackdoor Her first absolute classic, joy from start to end, I can still recall the first time I heard it on the radio, blasting out on a sunny day
@SophiaSophia is one of my favourite Kylie singles I love it in all forms she's done over the years another timeless classic from her.
@idratherjack Love it - super shiny, happy, uptempo PWL at the peak of their powers. The video with all the floating hearts and hall of mirrors is so camp you have to love it. I saw the actual heart dress in the Kylie exhibition a few years back which was an exciting pop moment. Looked a bit tatty now...
@bichard I used to think I didn't like this. Until the reissues I hadn't listened to it since the early 90s, having just slung it on the Kylie scrap heap. How wrong I was! I still hate the bit where she mimes the "oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh" in the video though...it looks ridiculous!
@clockworknovak The most soul-crushingly depressing song set to a bouncy beat. Though I’m not a huge fan of the album overall, this track by itself would have made the whole venture worth it.
@WhatKindOfKylie? The best number one the SAW team ever had in general for me. Such a corker of a tune, and one that in almost every remix sounds just as irrestiable as the original version. Rightfully one of her signature songs.
@Mjg0806 An irresistible tune! The processed sound still ever present on Kylie's vocals bring the whole thing down a smidge. However, that chorus is undeniable.
@Jacques The only amazing song on Enjoy Yourself. Wish there were more but it makes me appreciate this even more. I love the video for this too, even if it was simple and only consisting of dress variations and mirrors.
@Wills I love this visual: Kylie, in her early 20’s, lower lip protruding, blocking the doorway and demanding that her boyfriend literally cross his heart and tell her it’s over before she’ll let him leave the house. This track encapsulates one of the things I loved most about her during this era: This sense of earnestness, of naive optimism in the face of yet another hopeless romance, which is in equal parts uncool and endearing. Of course, it doesn’t hurt having this theme coupled with one of the most memorable melodies in her catalogue; I vividly recall (for it was only a few months ago!) the night I first fell in love with this song, having had the brilliant “thooough-oooo” hook stuck in my head for hours. Basically, my favourite pre-Rhythm of Love track and (I would argue) the first real indication of Kylie’s potential.
@Remorque Fantastic track. It’s the best track on its parent album, together with Enjoy Yourself. I actually consider this her last ‘good’ single of the 80s…
@Cowboystyle This is a great song and the perfect lead single for a new Kylie era, the video is so bad it's good.I remember reading years ago that this would have been the first ever single by a female artist in the UK to debut at number 1 but the OCC didn't include her cassette sales and therefore it debuted at number 2 and that it was due to this that cassette sales sales started getting included, no idea if it was true or not though.

I'll have you know I do have a Heart.....
I just don't have a Hand on it!!!!!!!
Hahahahaha! I feel soooooooooo glad that-even though I do LIKE this song - there's no way it deserves the high placing
So, Kylie's second album Enjoy Yourself is also our penultimate album to exit...

I think I'm a bit more favourable of Enjoy Yourself than many others....I think the high points on it are really PWL at their pure poptastic best. I feel quite bad that I just can't find the enjoyment in Hand on Your Heart that others do. I prefer quite a few of the album tracks over it... Sorry!
It's always going to be a What Do I Have To Do and Better The Devil You Know final from the start but I want the former to win but I wouldn't mind the latter winning either.
Just remember this: Hand On Your Heart was a bigger seller than Like A Prayer.
UK year end #9 vs year end #11.

The averages for the top 2 are insane. Until tomorrow...
But remember the old adage (that I've just made up)
You can buy music, but you can't buy taste!
(Saying that-Like A Prayer ain't all that either!)

Top 3 was absolutely the best I could have hoped for. Would have preferred 'Hand on Your Heart' managing to make it to #2, but with an average like that, I can hardly complain.
That said, everyone responsible for carrying 'Step Back in Time' to #4 should hang their heads in shame - it didn't deserve making it past the top 10 mark.
'What Do I Have to Do' to win!

Is this not an automatic popjustice ban?
Haha! I tend to find my opinion doesn't necessarily adhere to any logic or relevance...
I often find the 'career defining' hits tend to appeal to so many people that they don't have any intimacy or 'personal' connection to me. I appreciate them... but due to everyone loving them I fail to discover their joys myself, and instead have it force fed to me...
I'm a bit odd like that...
(as an aside I always seem to find my favorite singles from most artists tend to be the ones released after the album is out-and i've 'discovered' them before the charts can influence my opinion....in the 80s and 90s many of my faves tended to be third and fourth singles from albums)

Amazing top two, but I definitely have a preferred winner.
Is it the same model in Shocked, What Kind Of Fool and Where Is The Feeling? If not, Kylie definitely has a type.

I have to say I'm pretty shocked that Hand made top 3. I like it but don't think it's anywhere near as good as Shocked or Step Back in Time. Pleased to say my 11 is still in. I have to say I didn't have to think twice on my 11 vote for this era, the same which can't be said for the Parlaphone era (my Deconstruction era 11 was a no brainer too). The top 2 is completely spot on though, Better the Devil You Know and What Do I Have to Do? are easily Kylies finest PWL songs (with Shocked trailing just behind).
