Welcome to Week 22 of these polls!
   Results from Week 21: We couldn't break the tie for the best song, so it's a play-off between Take That - Rule The World and surprise leader for much of the week Sam Sparro - Black & Gold with both finishing on 14 votes, 1 ahead of Jeff Buckley. An even closer race in the worst poll eventually saw Lee Mead - Any Dream Will Do take the spoils on 11 votes but only just, with three songs on 10 votes and the other on 9. Best poll winners week 1: Percy Faith - Theme From 'A Summer Place' week 2: Petula Clark - Downtown week 3: The Beach Boys - God Only Knows week 4: The Beatles - Let It Be week 5: Sparks - This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us week 6: Greg Lake - I Believe In Father Christmas week 7: Ultravox - Vienna week 8: Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) week 9: A-ha - Take On Me week 10: The Pogues ft.

Gone for Empire State of Mind, Wavin' Flag, The Flood, Heaven, Feel
Easy win for Whip My Hair for worst, still very painful. Went for Black and Gold in the tiebreak, I like them about the same but that would be a really unexpected winner that it's been great to revisit. |

Favourite: most of mine aren't in the options! That said, although I really liked the #2s list, most of my favourites in this 2.5-year period seemed to land in #3-#5 instead (see the excellent bonus section picks), and also I felt like there seemed to be fewer songs loved by most than last week. Anyway, 'Starships' and 'Earthquake' are my top 2 options
 Voted them plus 'Feel So Close'.Least favourite: definitely NOT 'Get Sexy'  I found 'Heart Vacancy' fairly boring and 'Take A Chance On Me' just ok so I voted those as I much prefer the other 4. Thought 'Shame' might end up in the options as no one seemed to like it I think.Tiebreaker: 'Black And Gold'! Glad 'No U Hang Up' dodged winning (losing) after being in the (joint) lead most times that I saw. |

Despite voting for Rule the World, I am happy to see Black and Gold taking a lead - that really does feel completely forgotten these days and it was a great pop song

Best: Jay Z & Alicia Keys, K'Naan, Eminem/Rihanna, Katy, Take That, Adele, Emeli Sandé, Calvin!
Worst : Jedward, The Wanted (really bland single from them) & Willow. Can't remember that JLS track so they are spared lol! Not saying the Sugababes track is good or anything but I didn't mind that oops. Did go top 10 for me at the time too not that it reflects much now. It's rather dated more than anything. Probably was even then too. Both of the tie songs are great but I'll go for Sam as Take That win so much on here! |

Black & Gold topped my chart so that one. Think there's been a mix-up again
  Shirley K-Narn and Loick are accidentally in the wrong categories... anyways, easy chart-topper votes for Jay-Z/Alicia, The Flood & Move Like Jagger. Must admit I'm surprised Jay Z and Maroon 5 not doing well - total pop classics! Worst: Jedward, Willow, JLS all chart flops pour moi, but I specifically recall Ice Ice Baby and Whip It being annoying, and JLS I dont recall at all. |

Almost forgot to vote in this again oop but remembered just in time! Gone with 'Rolling In The Deep', 'Earthquake' and 'Empire State Of Mind' for my faves (close between the latter, 'Wavin' Flag' and 'Heaven' for my third pick), worst was a tough call between 'Get Sexy' and 'Whip My Hair' but went with the former (although 'Moves Like Jagger' is the actual worst x) and Take That pretty easily for the tiebreak.
Wow Take That having the (at least joint) most votes twice in a row it appears! |
