I might do an American one as well, though I'm not sure if their quality of number ones was as good as ours.
In my opinion it doesn't come close.
As an American - I agree with both of you. I was looking through the list of number ones before I posted my reply. Insane how many number ones Hall & Oates had back in the day!?

My US top 5 number ones.
1. Heart of Glass - Blondie
2. Fame - David Bowie
3. Miss You - The Rolling Stones
4. I Love Rock 'n' Roll - Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
5. Superstition - Stevie Wonder
...and if Heston doesn't pick this "Don't Give Up on Us" - David Soul, then the world is dead.

Yeah that surprised me also. That said I do really like "Maneater" and "I Can't Go For That".
