In February 1980, Cotton released his most successful solo single, Same Old Girl, which reached top ten on the Kent Music Report Singles Chart. Same Old Girl was co-written with former bandmate Chris Christian. Cotton’s work in 1980 earned him an award for Best Solo Male Performance, 10 years after Zoot had won a similar award for a group.
Best Seat in the House was released on EMI Records in April 1980 and was produced by Christian. Cotton formed a backing band, The Charts, with Joey Amenta on lead guitar (ex-Taste, Redhouse, Russell Morris Band), Andy Buchanan on drums, Randy Bulpin on guitar (Mondo Rock), Terry Davidson on keyboards and Simon Gyllies on bass guitar (Mondo Rock).

I don′t want a lover
Who comes home around three
If that’s what you′d rather
You’re not much good to me
