The 80s created some of the most enduring hits in British chart history. Band Aid's 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' topped the UK charts and became the decade's best-selling single. This masterpiece stands as the second biggest-selling single in UK history with over 3.83 million copies sold. The single achieved an incredible feat by selling over a million copies in its first week.

The top 5 songs included an artist's accidental laugh in the final release.
