Kinross, Scotland Where were you when Come On Eileen owned 1982? 👖
Four weeks at Number 1, 1.21 million estimated sales—and a chorus that still fills the dance floor.
In 1982, Dexys Midnight Runners’ Come On Eileen spent four weeks at UK Number 1 and finished as the year’s best-selling single, with an estimated 1.21 million sales.
One fiddle intro, several pairs of dungarees and a chorus that can still turn a quiet room into a full-volume singalong. 😂
