I really like 'Radio Heart' by Gary Numan. I don't know why this was a bigger hit, he put a lot of effort into creating this song. If I charted it in 1987 like he did I would have put it in the Top 5, instead of placing this song in 35th place because of his voice.

I've had a soft spot for the song over the years, but it's certainly not the best song he did. But technically Radio Heart isn't his song, he only featured on the song (among 2 others) on the Radio Heart album. The band were not particularly well known and basically cashed in on the Numan brand by plastering his name in marketing, but his name had already been somewhat ignored by the music press at that time, so it had limited impact hence the limited chart success. But he really wasn't keen on the album or the songs he worked on from what I believe.

He didnt put a lot of effort into it, it wasnt even his song, he just sang on it.. He didnt even want to do it as he says in his autobiography,

Where is Are Friend Electric. It was a no.1 hit for Gary?

It's listed as recorded by Tubeway Army (which is basically Numan, let's face it). It seems a bit unfair to me but it was released under that name.
