This give the No.1 to be "Feels Like I'm in Love" by Kelly Marie, taking away the first two weeks of The Police's "Don't Stand So Close to Me". In reality, viewed from the variation on publication dates, this effectively gives Kelly Marie a two-day No.1 (26-27 September).Irish charts – Number OnesHot Press 26 September – 10 October Stats 16 Number Ones Most weeks at No.1 (song): "Take That Look Off Your Face" – Marti Webb, "What's Another Year" – Johnny Logan, "Xanadu" – Olivia Newton-John and Electric Light Orchestra (6 weeks) Most weeks at No.1 (artist): Marti Webb, Johnny Logan, Olivia Newton-John and Electric Light Orchestra (6) Most No.1s: Abba (2)
