UK Singles (Top 40): "Marlene on the Wall", "Left of Center", "Luka", and "No Cheap Thrills" (Note: Source 5 cuts off "No Cheap Thr", but I should only use what is there or be careful. Actually, the source says "No Cheap Thr", so I must be careful not to complete it if I'm being strictly literal, but usually, "No Cheap Thrills" is the song.
