Summary: Boy George Scores Most (Press, 28 January 1987)

In a light-hearted contest evaluating sex appeal based on the number of underwear thrown on stage, pop singer Boy George emerged as the 1986 winner. During a concert in Portsmouth, he received a total of 50 pairs of panties from enthusiastic female fans, significantly surpassing the runner-up, the band Duran Duran, which garnered 38 pairs. The event was monitored by security staff who tallied the thrown items. They reported that aging rocker Gary Glitter came in third with 19 pieces of underwear, although his count included a panty girdle tossed by an older female fan. Despite the recent competition, the record for the most panties thrown at an artist remains with the Beatles, who once received 70 pairs during a performance.
