BUZZJACK'S ULTIMATE UK NUMBER ONE SINGLE
The quest to find Buzzjack's favourite UK number 1 single starts here. This hasn't been done since 2012 when the winner was 'Wuthering Heights' by Kate Bush. The rest of the top five was made up by 'Toxic','Somebody That I Used To Know'.'Titanium' and 'Bad Romance'. As many of us were not around six years ago,the results this time could be completely different.
I am firstly asking you to choose your favourite 30 number 1 singles and put them in order with 30 points for your favourite down to 1 point for your least favourite. The 200 singles with the most points will advance to the semi-finals. There will be four semis of 50 songs each. The top 25 from each semi-final will go through to the final rate where you will give a score to each of the 100 singles and the one with the highest average will be the winner.
So for now,please list your top 30. You can edit your lists at any time if you see a song on someone else's list that you forgot about. I won't start counting up the points until the closing date has passed. You have 16 days to vote. You can see a list of number 1 singles here:

Can I just say this is a fantastic idea, but for me I won't be able to compile there are so many I truly love especially from the 80s era that I grew up with, it be literally hard for me to compile... Soft Cell, Duran Duran, Human League, The Police, David Bowie, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Blondie and not forgetting All Saints.
This was incredibly difficult narrowing it down to 30! So many I had to leave out, but all 30 of these are stone cold classics

Thanks for the votes so far. It's good to see so many different songs being voted for. Keep them coming.
Very difficult to do but will have a think about it.

Just edited as I just realised I forgot to put ABBA on my list like a ninny and a berk
This had slipped down to page 2. More votes please.
This is gonna be hard to do :/
It's a week since anyone voted. More votes please.
Picking 30 songs out of a list of well over a thousand is a little bit difficult
Just pick the ones you like the best. This is only the first round,to get the number of songs down to a more manageable 200. A song you can't fit in might well be picked by someone else and still qualify.
Only 14 people have voted so far. The rest of you have the weekend left to vote. I'm hoping for a late surge of votes. I know people are saying this is difficult but you are only choosing songs you would like to see in the semi-finals,your vote doesn't have be as accurate as you would like it to be.

I was the host of similar game on Haven.
I gave 2 months for voting, but each person voted for 100 songs (minimum was top 50, but every participant voted for top 100).
http://fatherandy2.proboards.com/thread/92923/havens-favourite-uk-1s-results
There are some great songs on that list and not one of them is someone 'featuring' someone else. I'm guessing the average age of people on that forum is higher than it is on Buzzjack.
The deadline has now passed. Thanks to all those who voted. I will add up the scores tomorrow so if anyone would still like to vote,if they post their list on Monday,I will add their scores on at the end.
Sorry, I'll vote in the next round but it's just too daunting a task to even begin trying to narrow down such a long list ~
Apologies for being late.

2. Madonna - Like A Prayer
3. Madonna - Vogue
4. Madonna - Hung Up

For these results,I'm just going to give the points scores for the songs that didn't qualify. I will let you know the top first round points scorers after the final has finished. It will be interesting to see if the song with the most points in the first round goes on to win the final.
I wonder how many points were necessary to qualify top 200.

Baby D - Let Me Be Your Fantasy
The Beatles - I Feel Fine
Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas?
Alice Cooper - School's Out
Clean Bandit featuring Sean Paul and Anne-Marie - Rockabye
Drake - Nice For What
Doris Day - Whatever Will Be,Will Be (Que Sera,Sera)
Estelle featuring Kanye West - American Boy
Kylie Minogue - Hand On Your Heart
The Christmas no.1 from 2016 has just one point along with the best selling single from the 80s. 'Nice For What' was the only Drake single chosen where he is the lead artist. He will appear again as a featured act. Doris Day is still going at the age of 96. These 9 singles still did better than the 942 no.1s that didn't receive any votes.
School's Out is a classic! Shame on you all D:
2 points
Billie - Because We Want To
The Beatles - Hello Goodbye
Rosemary Clooney and the Mellomen - Mambo Italiano
Eminem - Without Me
Gabrielle - Rise
George Michael and Elton John - Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
Gary Numan - Cars
Nicole - A Little Peace
Take That - Patience
'Cars' is the first of my own songs to fall by the wayside. 15 year old Billie Piper was the youngest artist to debut at no.1 with 'Because We Want To'. 'A Little Peace' is the most recent Eurovision winner to reach no.1. It's unlikely to ever happen again.

Althea & Donna - Uptown Top Ranking
Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star
The Beatles - Daytripper/We Can Work It Out
Beyonce & Shakira - Beautiful Liar
Dappy - No Regrets
JLS - Everybody In Love
The Tornados - Telstar
'Video Killed The Radio Star' is a classic new wave pop song. If you like it,I would recommend two of the follow-up singles 'The Plastic Age' and 'Elstree'. 'Telstar' from 1962 was years ahead of its time and could be regarded as the first synthpop no.1. 'Uptown Top Ranking' is a great one hit wonder.
4 points
The Animals - The House Of The Rising Sun
The Black Eyed Peas - Where Is The Love?
The Kinks - You Really Got Me
Lady Gaga and Beyonce - Telephone
The Move - Blackberry Way
John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John - Summer Nights
Phyllis Nelson - Move Closer
The Prodigy - Firestarter
The Real Thing - You To Me Are Everything
Steps - Heartbeat/Tragedy
Will Young - Leave Right Now
What do 'Video Killed The Radio Star' and 'Firestarter' have in common? They were both co-written by Trevor Horn. He and the rest of the Art Of Noise managed to get co-writing credits on 'Firestarter' after it used a sample from their song Close (To The Edit). The Kinks virtually invented both the guitar riff and punk rock in 1964 with 'You Really Got Me'. I thought 'Summer Nights' might get more than just 4 points. The other no.1 from Grease,'You're The One That I Want' didn't receive any votes.
5 points
Christina Aguilera - Beautiful
Brotherhood Of Man - Angelo
Busted - Crashed The Wedding
PSY - Gangnam Style
Cliff Richard and The Shadows - Summer Holiday
Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk
Lisa Stansfield - All Around The World
The Seekers - I'll Never Find Another You
Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger
Usher featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris - Yeah!
'Uptown Funk' and 'Gangnam Style' are both huge worldwide hits from the last few years while 'Eye Of The Tiger' starts with one of the most recognisable guitar riffs. 'Angelo' by Brotherhood Of Man came to prominence over Christmas when Shirley and Tina sang it in the Queen Vic in Eastenders.
6 points
The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night
McFly - Obviously
Peters and Lee - Welcome Home
Rihanna featuring Drake - What's My Name?
Shanks & Bigfoot - Sweet Like Chocolate
I haven't heard 'Welcome Home' for a long time,not in full anyway. I know the chorus is used in an ad. I'm glad someone voted for it. For a while in the 70s,you couldn't escape Peters And Lee. They were regulars on every light entertainment show,rather like George Ezra recently. It was always a job to hear Dianne Lee singing,she was always drowned out by Lennie Peters' big voice and was never given any solo lines to sing.

Chris Brown - Turn Up The Music
Rosemary Clooney - This Ole House
Melanie C - I Turn To You
Craig David - 7 Days
The Honeycombs - Have I The Right
Olive - You're Not Alone
Omi - Cheerleader (Felix Jaehn remix)
Rachel Platten - Fight Song
Elvis Presley - Good Luck Charm
Timbaland featuring Keri Hilson and D.O.E. - The Way I Are
The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name
'You're Not Alone' is one of the best no.1s from the 90s. No one voted for Shaky's 'This Ole House' but Rosemary Clooney's original version picks up 7 points. One hit wonder Rachel Platten is here and 'Have I The Right' by The Honeycombs is now the theme tune for the BBC sitcom 'Hold The Sunset'.
8 points
Beats International - Dub Be Good To Me
Duke Dumont featuring Jax Jones - I Got U
Europe - The Final Countdown
Nelly Furtado - Maneater
Jess Glynne - Don't Be So Hard On Yourself
Owl City - Fireflies
Rihanna - Diamonds
Shapeshifters - Lola's Theme
Europe's timeless classic gets eight points. Norman Cook had no.1s as Fatboy Slim and as part of The Housemartins but the one from him you chose was from his time with Beats International. 'Dub Be Good To Me' was his re-working of the SOS Band's 'Just Be Good To Me'.
The kinks deserved better.
Good job Sausage. I like to read your comments.
All my nominations not yet eliminated.
Thanks,I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Pink - Just Like A Pill
The Pretenders - Brass In Pocket
Nicole Scherzinger - Don't Hold Your Breath
Secondcity - I Wanna Feel
Spiller featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)
B*Witched's poptastic debut single gets 9 points along with the first new no.1 from the 80s,'Brass In Pocket'. 'Groovejet' will be remembered as being part of a chart battle between Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Victoria Beckham with her first post Spice Girls single 'Out Of Your Mind'.

Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive
Liberty X - Just A Little
Freda Payne - Band Of Gold
Pitbull featuring Ke$ha - Timber
S'Express - Theme From S-Express
Wham! - Freedom
'I Will Survive' was originally a B side of Gloria Gaynor's single 'Substitute',a song which would go on to be a number 2 hit for the South African girl group Clout. It became a hit after DJs flipped the single over and started playing it. Blondie's 1999 comeback single is here along with one of David Bowie's finest songs.

DJ Sammy & Yanou featuring Do - Heaven
Mary Hopkin - Those Were The Days

Cliff Richard and The Shadows - I Love You
Taylor Swift - Look What You Made Me Do
Sonny & Cher - I Got You Babe
Justin Timberlake - Mirrors
U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman - Somethin' Stupid
Is this the biggest surprise so far? 'Look What You Made Me Do' was only given 9 points and 2 points by the voters. UltraReputation's failure to vote means that Taylor Swift's interpolation of 'I'm Too Sexy' by Right Said Fred is eliminated. None of Robbie Williams solo no.1s received votes but his duet with Nicole Kidman gets 11 points. It's good to see Mary Hopkin's update of a old Russian song here but the best on this list is clearly Procul Harum's classic 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale'.

George Michael - Fastlove
Sak Noel - Loca People
No Doubt - Don't Speak
Some of the younger Buzzjack members may never have heard 'Japanese Boy' before. If not,they should watch this clip immediately. One hit wonder Aneka now works as a tour guide in Stirling,Scotland. Also here is the best selling single of all time,'Candle In The Wind 1997'

Lady Gaga - Poker Face
Aretha Franklin & George Michael - I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)
Shakira featuring Wyclef Jean - Hips Don't Lie

Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP - We No Speak Americano
We've now sadly lost both of these great singers. The Abba-esque EP was Erasure's only no.1 and stayed there for five weeks.
It's a surprise that anyone considered 'Look What You Made Me Do' worthy of nomination in this. x

14 points
Duran Duran - The Reflex
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
Calvin Harris featuring Florence Welch - Sweet Nothing
Jessie J featuring B.o.B - Price Tag
Little Mix - Black Magic
George Michael - A Different Corner
Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone
Britney Spears - Born To Make You Happy
Take That - Pray
Ricky Valance - Tell Laura I Love Her
For all their popularity in the 80s,Duran Duran had only two no.1s. 'The Reflex' was one of them and also got to no.1 in the US. Britney Spears makes her first appearance and Shaky's Christmas song is here. It would have been released in 1984 but when the Band Aid thing got going,his record company decided to delay its release by a year. Another George Michael song is on this list. I've just added his name to the list of acts with the most songs voted for on page 3. As my scoreboard is alphabetical,I hadn't noticed his duet with Elton John which I have under J. He has five overall.
Not looking good for ADC if I gave it all of its points.

Michael Andrews featuring Gary Jules - Mad World
Tasmin Archer - Sleeping Satellite
Bingo Players featuring Far East Movement - Get Up (Rattle)
The Bee Gees - Tragedy
Mariah Carey - Without You
Jason Donovan - Too Many Broken Hearts
Ariana Grande featuring Iggy Azalea - Problem
Ella Henderson - Ghost
Peter and Gordon - A World Without Love
Post Malone featuring 21 Savage - Rockstar
The Police - Walking On The Moon
The Spice Girls - Mama/Who Do You Think You Are
10cc - Rubber Bullets
will.i.am & Britney Spears - Scream & Shout
The golden age of Top Of The Pops when cameramen had to barge their way past girls who had their backs turned. This was the first of 10cc's three no.1s. I've updated that table again as it didn't include Britney Spears' song with will.i.am. She now has 6 out of 6,joining Lady Gaga as the only ones on that list with 100%. There are singles from every decade except the 50s on the 15 points list.
16 points
Blur - Country House
The Beatles - Help!
Town Called Malice/Precious - The Jam
Ke$ha - We R Who We R
Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire
Meatloaf - I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)
Oasis - The Importance Of Being Idle
Yazz and the Plastic Population - The Only Way Is Up
Written about the town of Woking,'Town Called Malice' was The Jam's third no.1. 'Country House' was part of the battle of britpop,released in the same week as 'Roll With It' by Oasis. Blur won that chart battle. Oasis are here as well with a different song.
17 points
B*Witched - To You I Belong
The Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin' Beats
Blu Cantrell featuring Sean Paul - Breathe
Limp Bizkit - Rollin'
Olly Murs - Dance With Me Tonight
Jennifer Rush - The Power Of Love
Razorlight - America
Storm Queen - Look Right Through (MK Remix)
'Block Rockin' Beats' was the second of the Chemical Brothers two no.1s. 'The Power Of Love' and 'Breathe' are both the second songs with those titles to reach no.1. Frankie Goes To Hollywood and The Prodigy are still to come but have they qualified?
18 points
Abba - The Name Of The Game
Hear'Say - The Way To Your Love
Jennifer Lopez - Get Right
Madonna - Who's That Girl
Route 94 featuring Jess Glynne - My Love
Barbara Streisand - Woman In Love
Tinie Tempah featuring Eric Turner - Written In The Stars
Abba and Madonna both make the first of many appearances. 'The Name Of The Game' was Abba's sixth no.1 while 'Who's That Girl' was Madonna's fifth.
If I'm not mistaken, 162 out of 401 singles are already out. It looks like 22 or 23 points were necessary to go through to the next round. I was guessing 18 or 19 points, but I've been proven wrong.
So, I'm thinking One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful (29 points), Justin Bieber - Sorry (26 points) and ZAYN - Pillowtalk (24 points), singles only nominated by me, are safe.
Yes,the cutoff figure was higher than I thought it would be as well. This will finish tomorrow.
Oh no, that's my 17 to 15 pointers out all in a row All wonderful songs, for shame.
I also forgot The Buggles which is one of my all time favourites and I can't help it now FFS
"Woman In Love" was eliminated
My top 8 :
1. Bucks Fizz - The Land Of Make Believe (1982)
2. Dana - All Kinds Of Everything (1970)
3. Blondie - Sunday Girl (1979)
4. Geri Halliwell - Lift Me Up (1999)
5. New Seekers - You Won't Find Another Fool Like Me (1974)
6. Bucks Fizz - My Camera Never Lies (1982)
7. Kylie Minogue - Tears On My Pillow (1990)
8. Renee and Renato - Save Your Love (1982)
Possibly I'm only the one voter for each song in this list and will glad to see them all in the next round.
The Dana and Blondie songs on that list both got votes from someone else.
Please, just show us the last singles eliminated.
The tension.
As soon as Arsenal v Chelsea finishes.

Berlin - Take My Breath Away
Boney M - Rivers Of Babylon
Coldplay - Paradise
JLS - The Club Is Alive
Professor Green featuring Emeli Sande - Read All About It
Rudimental featuring Ella Eyre - Waiting All Night
Snap! - Rhythm Is A Dancer
'Rivers Of Babylon' is the 7th best selling single in the UK. After dropping from no.1 to no.20,it gained a new lease of life after DJs started playing the B side 'Brown Girl In The Ring' and it went back up to no.2. Looking at that list of best selling singles,I've just realised that no one voted for 'Barbie Girl' by Aqua. I thought that might be a bit of a Buzzjack fave.
20 points
The Beatles - She Loves You
Craig David - Fill Me In
Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee)
Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber - Despacito (Remix)
Paul Hardcastle - 19
Kylie Minogue - Slow
Steps - Stomp
Britney Spears - Oops!...I Did It Again
Sonique - It Feels So Good
Midge Ure - If I Was
Vengaboys - Boom,Boom,Boom,Boom!!
Ultravox were cruelly denied a no.1 with 'Vienna' by the novelty song 'Shaddap You Face' by Joe Dolce so this song topping the chart was a small consolation for Buzzjack's fourth favourite Midge. It wasn't his first no.1. He was the lead singer with Slik who had a no.1 with 'Forever And Ever' in 1975. Paul Hardcastle's '19' stands out here and there are several rather cheesy pop hits.
21 points
Tori Amos - Professional Widow (It's Got To Be Big)
Christina Aguilera featuring Redman - Dirrty
DJ Pied Piper and The Masters Of Ceromonies - Do You Really Like It?
Jennifer Lopez featuring Pitbull - On The Floor
Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl
Alvin Stardust - Jealous Mind
The Specials - Ghost Town
Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud
Diana Vickers - Once
'Ghost Town' got to no.1 at the same time as riots were occurring across the country and seemed to sum up the mood of many people. This is an eclectic list with something for everyone.
22 points
Basshunter and DJ Mental Theo's Bazzheadz - Now You're Gone
Brotherhood Of Man - Figaro
The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations
Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball
Clean Bandit featuring Demi Lovato - Solo
Kajagoogoo - Too Shy
Little Mix - Wings
Kelly Marie - Feels Like I'm In Love
David Guetta featuring Kelly Rowland - When Love Takes Over
T Rex - Get It On
I'm gutted that 'Good Vibrations hasn't qualified. Elsewhere,we have some classic disco from Kelly Marie,glam rock from T Rex and the second appearance from Brotherhood Of Man.
The cut off point has been reached!
The songs with 23 points or more have all qualified for the semi-finals. There are 202 of them. Even if I used tie-breaks,I can't get it down to a round 200. Every voter's top 8 songs are through,even if no one else voted for them.
However,there were two people who voted four days after the closing date. I didn't want their efforts to be a complete waste of time so I have decided to give a wildcard to one song from each of their lists,the non qualifier with the highest amount of points if their points were added on. In the case of Jester,it's 'Paradise' by Coldplay which would have moved up from 19 points to 48. In the case of Spiceboy,it's 'I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)' by George Michael and Aretha Franklin which would have moved up from 13 points to 37.
There will therefore be 204 songs in the semi-finals with 51 in each one. I will make the draw and start the first semi-final early next week.
So many good songs gone right at the end
So sad to see my nomination Solo out with 22 points. I should have given it one point more.
Wrecking Ball just missing out all with my points
I lost 11 in this round too.
I'm happy to see 24 of my nominations going through. Shame to lose Good Vibrations at the end though.
Ah yes I got The Prodigy to squeak through in the end, was getting tense reading the results!
Oops!...I Did It Again, I Kissed A Girl, Figaro, Once
