Two artists breezed through this week to notch the first two spots. The Police grabbed first place with six first place votes and 16 votes on 18 ballots. Elvis Costello followed close behind with 5 first place votes on 15 ballots. They both claimed top 10 spots on The Top Artists Of All Time leader board. Although they were on less ballots, Duran Duran grabbed a fair amount of first place votes to catapult them to third place. Double digit votes for Pretenders, The Cars and Blondie garnered these artists positions 5 though 7. The B-52's received 9 votes and enough points for seventh place while Joy Division got a late second place vote on ballot 5 to make the difference for the final spot over Joe Jackson, XTC and The Jam.
