I was wondering how many copies "the ultimate party record" (according to Tony Blackburn) Agadoo by Black Lace has sold in the UK. It reached number 8 for the year in 1984 and the top 6 (plus Ghostbusters at number 9) have all gone on to sell 1 million so fingers crossed it'll soon be joining that list and annoying a whole new generation. PS I love it really.
