Small list in terms of amount of #1 songs.

Like 1980, no Canadian artists were featured at the top of the charts.

Blondie, Lennon, Easton, Stars On 45, Kool and Gang, The Police, and a half assed vote for Newton-John.

The Friends of Mr. Cairo was a number 1 single ? Easy choice, then.

On the Canadian charts only apparently. I also looked up on Wikipedia and it was not a hit at all elsewhere.
Pretty good song, I’d never heard it before or else I would given it a vote. Strange, Jon Anderson of Yes and Vangelis.

“Just Like Starting Over” (even though I already voted for it in 1980), “Celebration,” and “Every Little Thing She Does is Magic” are the three songs rated highly enough in the world-famous Ponch8 Music Rating System to earn my vote.

They did a whole album together in the early 80s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kCCtHCSuCs

I’ll Find my Way Home was something of a minor hit. I discovered the rest of the album, including The Friends of Mr. Cairo, much later thanks to my uncle who, in many ways, is still more hip in his 60s than I have ever been :D.
