Name the Artist - 1980s UK Number 1's

Name the musical artists behind these UK number 1 hits from the 1980s. Date indicates when the song first became Number 1 This got very complicated with the number of collaborations etc. Generally if there are 2 artists, both surnames will be needed, with some exceptions where the second/featured artist is not a chart act in their own right. The 'AND' won't be needed UNLESS its in the name of the act (i.e. Charles And Eddie) Also there is one song with 7 artists listed, I've set it to accept any of them except 1(who is listed elsewhere on the quiz in his own right!)
