I know nothing about these bracket things. But I do know 80s music (to my shame, looking at some of the stuff on this list).
1985 “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” Tears for Fears
1987 “Here I Go Again” Whitesnake
1981 “Kiss on My List” Hall & Oates
1983 “Maneater” Daryl Hall & John Oates
1984 “Hello” Lionel Richie
1988 “Heaven Is a Place on Earth” Belinda Carlisle
1982 “Jack & Diane” John Cougar
1989 “Wind Beneath My Wings” Bette Midler
1980 “Coming Up” Paul McCartney
1986 “Party All the Time” Eddie Murphy
I don’t think I’ve ever heard “Coming Up”, but it can’t be worse than Eddie Murphy as a pop singer. I remember being embarrassed for him when that came out, so I put I song I’ve never heard ahead of it!
I bet you have.

I was confused by the title, too. I know the tune well, but could not understand the words (thought at best it was “coming on”) and would not be able to ID the singer as McCartney.
