In 2019, we picked Madonna's 'Like A Prayer' as our favourite number 1 single and last year, we chose 'Take On Me' by Aha as our favourite number 2. Now it's time for the singles that peaked at number 3. Will the winner be from the 1980s again? Once more, in the first round, you vote for your top 30 number 3 singles. Please put them in order from 30 points for your favourite down to 1 point for your least favourite. The format after that will be a bit different this time. I don't think the quality of songs on the list is enough to justify having 200 in the semi-finals and 100 in the final rate, so this time, the 100 singles with the most points will go through to two semi-finals of 50 songs each and the top 25 from each semi will go through to a final rate of 50 singles (this will also mean there will be less work for me to do). However, each voter's favourite number 3 will be given a wild card into the semi-finals even if it didn't receive enough points from other people to qualify so there could be more than 50 songs in each semi-final.

Here is a link to the list of number 3 singles. There are a few on there that are re-releases of songs that previously reached number 1 or number 2 so obviously those are ineligible. There are two weeks for you to vote so plenty of time to look through this list to make sure you didn't forget any songs that don't immediately spring to mind.

Here's my selection - I have decided to do one for the noughties, tens and 2020, as it was hard enough for me to narrow it down over these years (as evidenced by my honourable mentions list!).

Not too many since then but looking at the OCC records, the songs that peaked at number 3 since Breaking Me are:

13/08/2020 Nathan Dawe feat. KSI - Lighter
03/09/2020 BTS - Dynamite
29/10/2020 Tate McRae - You Broke Me First
05/11/2020 KSI feat. Craig David & Digital Farm Animals - Really Love

19/11/2020 Little Mix - Sweet Melody
24/12/2020 Taylor Swift - Willow
07/01/2021 Jess Glynne - This Christmas

Obviously Taylor and Little Mix could still hit new peaks (plus KSI though less likely).

When i see someone put a song next to 30....does that mean its in 30th position...or 30 points (and therefore in 1st place!?)

Posted by: King Rollo 5th January 2021, 06:08 PM

I'm taking 30 at the top of a list to mean 30 points. If a list has 1. at the top, as with Dandy's list, I'm taking it to mean 1st place.

Posted by: garyfeld 5th January 2021, 06:10 PM

others agree??

Posted by: Scene 5th January 2021, 06:19 PM

Yeah that makes sense. The favourite song is always at the top of the list regardless of the number beside it. (for me at least)

Posted by: garyfeld 5th January 2021, 06:35 PM

thanks all...my list therefore coming with top song at the top with 30 next to it

Just wanted to check if my votes have been submitted yet because I think I did it the wrong way round - I orders them from 30 as my lowest scorer to 1 as my highest -(first time submitting a list like this!) is there time to edit it

Posted by: King Rollo 10th January 2021, 03:16 PM

I was able to work out your favourite was at the bottom of your list from looking at your lists for each set of decades so there's no need to edit your vote. Life On Mars has been given 30 pts down to 1 pt for Paranoid Android.

Thanks for all the lists. I'll still accept any overnight votes.

Voting is now closed

37 people voted which is a great response. Last year, 29 people voted in the first round of the no.2 poll and the year before, 25 voted in the first round of the no.1 poll.

This evening, I will start a countdown of the singles that didn't make it through to the semi-finals.

Posted by: King Rollo 18th January 2021, 02:11 PM

Take My Breath Away was a no.1 single, Jack. It returned at no.3 a few years later. I'll add one point to your bottom 13 songs.

Barry Biggs - Sideshow
Eiffel 65 - Move Your Body
Milli Vanilli - Girl You Know It's True
Paul McCartney and Wings - Band On The Run
Oasis - Songbird
The Rolling Stones - Miss You/Faraway Eyes



I think Band On The Run is my favourite Wings song. It was on my shortlist but didn't make my top 30. Also here, from 1978, we have Miss You, the final top 5 single for the Rolling Stones. Oasis have two songs this time and the first one bows out early on. Sideshow was Barry Biggs' only top 20 hit. I don't think I've heard it since the 1970s but I still remember how the chorus goes. That's the test of a good song.

Posted by: Jade 18th January 2021, 07:40 PM

Sorry I didn't submit in time, I tried cutting the list down the other day and it proved tougher than I was anticipating so I was going to come back to it, just didn't quite squeeze the right moment in to do so. But will vote in the next round and follow along with the results - 'Songbird' my favourite of that lot!

Lene Lovich - Lucky Number
Megan Thee Stallion - Savage
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Dear Prudence



This classic from the new wave era was Lene Lovich's only top 10 single. Dear Prudence is often cited as one of the best cover versions of a Beatles song. Savage is one of the songs from 2020 that made their way in.

Boyzone - Key To My Life
Dean Friedman - Lucky Stars
Sly Fox - Let's Go All The Way
Carly Rae Jepsen - I Really Like You



Lucky Stars from 1978 is a duet but Denise Marsa didn't get a credit. It was often the case at that time that a singer on a record would not be credited on the cover. We also have Boyzone's second single and a one hit wonder for Sly Fox.

Destiny's Child - Emotion
The Grid - Swamp Thing
Delta Goodrem - Born To Try
Enrique Iglesias - Do You Know (The Ping Pong Song)
Alison Moyet - Is This Love?
The Script - Superheroes



I was trying to remember who was involved with The Grid. I knew it was someone from the 80s. On checking, I see it's David Ball from Soft Cell. This was one of six top 40 hits for the duo. Elsewhere, we also have Delta Goodrem's debut single and Alison Moyet's fourth solo top 10 hit.

Posted by: StoneDragon 19th January 2021, 10:22 AM

A few great songs out already - Carly Rae Jepsen - I Really Like You, Lene Lovich - Lucky Number and Siouxsie and the Banshees - Dear Prudence are (very different) classics but they just missed my votes.

Very surprised I'm the only person to vote for Born to try - I thought Delta was pretty loved on Buzzjack

On the other hand, I'm not at all surprised that noone else voted for Key To My Life 😂

Posted by: Mangø 19th January 2021, 03:16 PM

I do like it (might even be my favourite Boyzone song) but wasn't anywhere near my Top 30 unfortunately, there's too many great songs in the list!

BTS - Dynamite

Lloyd featuring Andre 3000 and Lil Wayne - Dedication To My Ex (Miss That)
Morrissey - You Have Killed Me
Will Smith - Miami
S Club 7 - Natural



This was one of two Morrissey singles to reach number 3, his highest chart placing. It was also his final top 10 hit. Eight of S Club 7's first nine singles reached the top 2, the only one that didn't is Natural which appears here.

An excellent use of the Elvis Costello sample by Rogue Traders while PM Dawn do the same with Spandau Ballet. There's also the disco classic from Van McCoy and a variety of acts from Slade and The Proclaimers to Sugababes and the two most well known Jacksons.

Ricky Martin - She Bangs
David Sneddon - Don't Let Go
Wildchild - Renegade Master '98



A dance classic from the C & C Music Factory, the first of their two top 5 singles. I wasn't sure if I knew the Chris Andrews song from 1965 but having a listen, I do recognise it. Also here is Fame Academy winner David Sneddon with the follow-up to his number 1.

Atomic Kitten - It's OK
Bananarama - Robert De Niro's Waiting
Cliff Richard - Some People
Edwin Starr - War
Texas - Say What You Want

Some People is the first from my own list to appear. In my opinion, it's Cliff's finest single. We also have two girl groups, two Scottish bands and Edwin Starr's landmark recording.

Posted by: Mangø 19th January 2021, 10:54 PM

I've always had a soft spot for that song and for Snedders in general I think I must have missed this otherwise I might possibly have given it a point or two. In fact looking at the songs out so far, I think there's a few I missed, oops.

C&C Music Factory is probably my favourite of those that are out so far, don't think there have been any that votes from me would have saved though.

Posted by: Jason 20th January 2021, 01:07 AM

Only 1 of my nominations is already out. No surprise I was the only one who voted for a Morrissey song. There's hardly any hype for him on here.
Surprised 'Set Adrift On Memory Bliss' has already been eliminated. It wasn't close to my top 30 list but I really like it.

Posted by: Jester 20th January 2021, 07:19 AM

Ah damn! Poor Snedders.

And I’m the only vote for Texas

Posted by: Bjork 20th January 2021, 07:47 AM

I thought I voted Texas too but not 100% sure. Say What You Want is a classic, amazing song. Together with Travis-Sing, those are the only great songs missing so far.

A Kind Of Magic was written by Roger Taylor and was used as the ending theme of the Highlander film. Willow is the most recent number 3 to get a vote and is currently at number 13 on the chart. We also have two singles here from 1966.

Who voted for '2002' 💀

Posted by: jimwatts 20th January 2021, 06:54 PM

The Proclaimers are the only of my nominations out so far. Although there are already a few songs I'd missed from going through the list of #3s so hadn't really considered, including that Isley Brothers one which probably wouldn't have made my final 30, but would have been close to it.

Irish Blood, English Heart wasn't far away from my nominations. However out of his solo songs, I'd only put Every Day Is Like Sunday up there with the 15 or so best songs by The Smiths.

Culture Club - Victims

Peter Skellern - You're A Lady



The second song from my vote to go out, a beautiful song by Peter Skellern with great use of the brass band and choir. I think Victims by Culture Club is better than either of their number 1s and we have a great cover version of Eloise by The Damned. No More Tears really should have been a number 1 single.

I forgot that 'Last Resort' charted as high as #3! Great song.

Posted by: Jade 20th January 2021, 07:21 PM

'Don't Phunk With My Heart', 'A Kind of Magic' and 'willow' are my favourites to drop out so far!

Posted by: Iceman501 20th January 2021, 07:24 PM

'2002' has no position to be next to Queen, and The Beach Boys or even Taylor Swift.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 20th January 2021, 07:25 PM

Oh no, Last Resort is the first of my votes to go out D:

Another one from my vote, Kevin Godley puts in a dramatic performance on TOTP for this train based ghost story. The legendary Jimi Hendrix is here while the other two acts still have one more song to come.

Doh! Only just seen this thread, sorry. My full points would obviously have gone to Baker Street.

With points for:

Oh Carol

It Might As Well Rain Until Septmeber
I Want To Stay Here
Eve Of Destruction

Monday Monday
River Deep Mountain High
A Little Bit Me A Little Bit You
Zabadak
Walk Away Renee
Dock Of The Bay
This Guy's In LOve With You
This Old Heart Of Mine
Reflections Of My Life

and that's just the 60's and half the slots are already gone!

No I couldnt have narrowed it down to 30, it would have driven me insane at having to dump major classics! I would have had to just go to my All-Time Top 900 and see which ones peaked at 3, otherwise I wouldnt even get beyond 1980....

Posted by: dandy* 20th January 2021, 08:39 PM

Satan (Live) is an absolute tune! I remember being so surprised when it charted as high as #3

'Same Jeans' a landfill indie classic. And again I forgot it charted as high as #3!

Posted by: Jason 21st January 2021, 12:51 AM

I didn't nominate 2002 but LOL at people's reaction. Well, maybe I should have given it 20 points just to see that song going through to the semifinals and make this thread even funnier.

I just lost 1 nomination so far but I will lose another one with 13 points.

Posted by: rio309 21st January 2021, 03:58 PM

Think I'm about to lose my second but only the Boyzone guilty pleasure gone so far!

Satan by Orbital is such a tune and in hindsight I probably should have included it in my top 30.

This was Level 42's highest charting single and my favourite song by them, of the ones I know. Also here is another early 70s soul classic, this time by Chairmen Of The Board and Sabrina, a favourite of every teenage boy in 1988.

Posted by: DarrenJ77 21st January 2021, 07:49 PM

If you had counted DarrenJ nominations this way, 'The Love I Lost' would have had much more points than 14.

Posted by: King Rollo 21st January 2021, 11:24 PM

Well spotted. My scoresheets are in alphabetical order by artist. As Vibe put the artist as Sybil on his vote I have 'The Love I Lost' under S and W. I will now combine its two scores.

Bobby Vee - The Night Has A Thousand Eyes



From 1973, this was Suzi Quatro's follow-up to her no.1 single, Can The Can. She went on to have one more no.1. A great song by David Bowie is here along with the oldest single to receive a vote. The Night Has A Thousand Eyes is from February 1963 and was one of seven top 10 hits for Bobby Vee.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 22nd January 2021, 06:44 PM

I thought I'd voted for Seahorses, but must have just missed out. Think I've only lost Songbird (1) and Purple Haze (11) so far. Definitely some dropped out I thought would do much better, Human probably the most notable.

Tying in with the TOTP repeats on BBC4 is U Can't Touch This which samples Super Freak by Rick James. It won't be long on TOTP (August 1990) before we see Betty Boo's highest charting single. Vanessa Paradis was only 14 years old when she recorded Joe Le Taxi.

The Bangles' second top 3 single from 1986, the first was Manic Monday which leads us nicely to Monday Monday which was a hit for the Mamas and the Papas in 1966. Buzzjack's third favourite group, Girls Aloud, have already lost both of their songs. Their other number 3, Something Kinda Ooooh, received no votes at all.

Posted by: Scene 22nd January 2021, 07:49 PM

It's only right that I should follow Nik Kershaw with Howard Jones. His debut single was one of his six top 10 hits from 1983 to 1985. We've already had Michael Jackson with his sister and he still has a further six songs left with the first appearing here. A Horse With No Name was America's signature song while Turning Japanese was an excellent one hit wonder.

This was taken from Keane's second album and gave them their third top 5 hit. I was wrong when I said the Bobby Vee song was the oldest. I didn't spot My Special Angel by Malcolm Vaughan which is from November 1957. It was one of four top 5 singles for the Welsh singer.

ELO - Don't Bring Me Down
EMF - Unbelievable
Dusty Springfield - I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself



This was one of four top 10 ten singles from ELO's 1979 album Discovery. Last year, it was voted as Buzzjack's fourth favourite ELO song in the quickie rate I hosted in the pre-2000s forum. Also here are two fine songs by EMF and Dusty Springield.

Posted by: Mangø 27th January 2021, 06:17 PM

Macklemore, Samantha Mumba and EMF the best of those two batches!

Katy Perry - Firework
Ultravox - Dancing With Tears In My Eyes



One of just three top 10 hits for Ultravox. They had quite a few near misses. Despite only reaching number 3, Katy Perry's Firework has sold more than a million copies in the UK.

Janet Jackson - All For You
Plan B - She Said
West End featuring Sybil - The Love I Lost



From his no.1 album, The Defamation Of Strickland Banks, this was Plan B's biggest hit. Janet Jackson loses her second song but she still has one left.

Guru Josh Project - Infinity 2008
Status Quo - Rockin' All Over The World



The song by Status Quo that memorably kicked off the 1985 Live Aid concert is joined by Guru Josh's update of his single from 1990.

Abba - Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight)
Bananarama - Love In The First Degree
David Guetta vs The Egg - Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)
Jennifer Lopez - Ain't It Funny
Queen - I Want To Break Free
Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's Delight



The second top 3 single from Queen's 1984 album The Works, with the album track being extended by a minute for the single release. Also here are one of the first hit singles from the hip hop genre,a disco classic from Abba and Bananarama's metaphor laden song. Jennifer Lopez loses the third of her three singles.

Posted by: Boymetworld91 28th January 2021, 07:07 PM

I've still got 17 in contention, similar to others I lost about 5 very early, then none for ages but Eton Rifles, What I Go to School For, Dancing with Tears in My Eyes and Rockin All Over the World all gone recently.

Posted by: Boymetworld91 28th January 2021, 07:08 PM

Scrap that, 15 left - I Want to Break Free and Rapper's Delight have both left the building

Posted by: Scene 28th January 2021, 07:15 PM

What a section this is. *.* Especially the songs from Abba and Queen. Also who would have thought at the time of LDLMG's release that David Guetta would go on to become one of the biggest producers over the next 10 years?!

The Bee Gees - Too Much Heaven
The Calling - Wherever You Will Go
Mason vs Princess Superstar - Perfect (Exceeder)



I haven't heard this one for a long time. I'd forgotten how good a song this is with the vocals and the orchestral arrangement. We also have the American group The Calling with the first of their four top 40 singles.

Luniz - I Got 5 On It
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Souvenir



This is my favourite song by OMD and I gave it 26 points. It was one of two singles by them to reach number 3 with Sailing On The Seven Seas matching that position ten years later. The Luniz song is from 1996 and was their only top 10 single.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 28th January 2021, 07:48 PM

If we were voting for worst Wherever You Will Go would have been in contention for my +30 so glad that drops out now!

Posted by: Mangø 29th January 2021, 12:06 AM

I'm proper shook that Love In The First Degree is SO DAMN LOW not just because 28 of those 42 points were from me but I genuinely thought it was one of the best loved cheesy pop songs of the 80s. 'Gimme Gimme Gimme' also got points from me (it's probably the guiltiest of all my guilty pleasures) and I'm surprised that's not a bit higher too.

Posted by: rio309 29th January 2021, 12:33 AM

Ughhhh at Luniz dropping out before the Top 100. In a genre that's usually not my cup of tea, I've loved I Got 5 On It since the week it was released.

I've got 23 still in contention, after losing 5 early, no more went for ages, but Queen and Luniz have gone now.

Posted by: ...ready for it 29th January 2021, 04:35 AM

After reading this, I realize I forgot to vote for a few songs.

Posted by: vibe 29th January 2021, 08:24 AM

Will you tell us how many songs each member has left in the top 100 ?

Loving this thread btw

Posted by: King Rollo 29th January 2021, 04:02 PM

I haven't kept a record of who has voted for each song so the only way I could do that would be to look through each vote.

ATB - Don't Stop!



ATB's follow-up to his number 1 single, 9PM (Till I Come). He went on to have three more top 40 hits.

Richard Marx - Hazard

Hazard was one of two big hits for Richard Marx with the other one, Right Here Waiting, reaching number 2 three years earlier. Suede lose the first of their two songs.

'Baggy Trousers' *.* a classic.

Alicia Keys - Fallin'
Avril Lavigne - Complicated
Zara Larsson - Lush Life
Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street
Carly Simon - You're So Vain
Zhu - Faded



With its iconic saxophone riff, Baker Street was a top 3 hit for Gerry Rafferty in 1978. From five years earlier, we have another well known song by Carly Simon. Her four top 10 hits were in 1972,1977,1982 and 1987 so the title of the last one, Coming Around Again, is quite appropriate. Three other female singers go out here.

You're So Vain I wasn't expecting it to do this well so I'm pleased others voted for it

Posted by: jimwatts 29th January 2021, 08:20 PM

Baggy Trousers and Lush Life out from my votes.

Nelly Furtado featuring Timbaland - Promiscuous
Sigala featuring Bryn Christopher - Sweet Lovin'
Take That - Could It Be Magic
The Waterboys - The Whole Of The Moon



This inexplicably only reached number 26 in 1985 but was re-issued in 1991 to coincide with the release of 'The Best of The Waterboys 81-90' album. Also here is Take That's cover of the Barry Manilow song.

Leona Lewis - One More Sleep
Madonna - Erotica
Mott The Hoople - All The Young Dudes
The Prodigy - Charly
Red Box - Lean On Me (Ah-Li-Ayo)



An uplifting song that never fails to put me in a good mood. Red Box reformed in 2010 and are still going. Elsewhere, we have the song David Bowie wrote for Mott The Hoople, Leona Lewis' Christmas song, The Prodigy's first top 40 hit and the second of Madonna's seven singles that received votes.

Posted by: King Rollo 30th January 2021, 08:50 PM

THE CUT OFF POINT HAS BEEN REACHED

There are 102 songs left with the next four on 53 points. Rather than eliminate two of them on a tie-break, I am putting all four of them into the semi-finals. I also promised that every voter's favourite number 3 single is guaranteed a place in the semis so we also have some wild cards:

Wild Cards

30 points

Jax Jones featuring Raye - You Don't Know Me (danuary)
Britney Spears - Sometimes (No Sleeep)
Son Of Dork - Ticket Outta Loserville (Jason)
Britney Spears - Womanizer (Nick F1)
The Weeknd - The Hills (coi)

37 points

Angry Anderson - Suddenly (Mango 30 points)

So there will be 51 qualifiers plus three wild cards in each semi-final. The first one will start on Monday.

Posted by: Bré 30th January 2021, 08:51 PM

I kind of forgot that The Prodigy ever had any #3 hits. Probably should have looked that up and forced myself to vote just to save 'Charly', oh well

(it being 1 point away? pfft)

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 30th January 2021, 08:52 PM

Ah Charly would've been in my next 1-2 to give points to, if only I'd given in the one over Songbird which no one else voted for!

Posted by: rio309 30th January 2021, 11:24 PM

Losing Charly at the last gasp is a shame. 22 of my 30 have made the cut though, including most of the top 10. Will settle for that!

Posted by: Mangø 30th January 2021, 11:41 PM

'Suddenly' has always been one of my all time favourite songs (they don't make power ballads like that anymore) and then we had it as our first dance when I got married so yeah I'm glad it's going through as a wildcard even though I doubt anyone else is gonna give it any votes!

I'm surprised 'Erotica' finished so high for what I believe is generally regarded as a not very good Madonna song (I think it's brilliant though).

Posted by: jimwatts 31st January 2021, 12:30 PM

Ed Sheeran falls at the first hurdle again. Happy with 21 of my 30 surviving though and welcome additions of You Don't Know Me and Suddenly among the wildcards.

Posted by: DarrenJ77 31st January 2021, 12:32 PM

I’ll be voting for Suddenly again I love it takes me back to childhood and Kylie and Jason era on Neighbours

Posted by: King Rollo 31st January 2021, 01:55 PM

17 out of my 30 survived. The Waterboys and Red Box just missed out.

Posted by: coi 31st January 2021, 04:13 PM

14 of mine made it through. Sadly lost Reload, Sonnentanz (Sun Don't Shine) and Faded from my top five right at the end but glad it wasn't just me voting for them.

Posted by: Mangø 31st January 2021, 04:53 PM

17 of mine too unless I missed a song or miscounted (which is entirely possible)

Posted by: Jason 31st January 2021, 05:38 PM

I'm sorry but I didn't like this new system of only 100 songs going through to the semifinals. I preferred a lot more last year's sytem with 200 going through.

Hopefully we will be allowed to vote for only 10 songs in each seminfinal round because I don't think I like more than 10 songs left in the top 100.

Posted by: King Rollo 31st January 2021, 05:53 PM

You can vote for less than 25 songs in the semi-final if you want to. I'll set a minimum of 10.

Posted by: jimwatts 31st January 2021, 06:24 PM

Looks like if the cut off had been a top 200, it would have been across the 29 points group, but happy with it being done this way.

Posted by: Bré 31st January 2021, 09:38 PM

Oh I didn't realise there were only half as many songs going through this time - I was thinking it seems like a pretty huge difference in the cutoff point!

Posted by: Boymetworld91 31st January 2021, 10:41 PM

I've got 13 left, but 8 of them are in my top 10, only lost The A-Team and Nu Flow from my top 10.

Posted by: Scene 1st February 2021, 10:04 AM

Not One More Sleep missing the next stage by one vote. I should've given it the most points.

Also sad to see This Love and Could It Be Magic leave while getting so close.
