07. Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape (Ft Akon) = Avg.[8.704]
Highest Rates: 11 [Acidburn, Aphrodite] 10 [Mr Aly, Fgiboy2511, Kylie Jackson, American Oxygen, Kellyann, Frank, MIKEMYER] Lowest Rates: 0 [Griff] At #7 is my personal fave Gwen Stefani single "The Sweet Escape" which was released in December 2006 as the 2nd single from her 2nd album of the same name and features pointless backing vocals by Akon, who honestly wasn't needed and this could have been easily credited as her solo effort. Originally Gwen wasn't keen on working with Akon and cancelled many of their sessions and didn't want to create a generic hip hop song, but when Akon came up with the beat to this, they ended up writing the song in 10 minutes and the rest was history. The song became the album's most successful single by reaching #2 in the USA as well as matching that peak in the UK becoming her biggest solo hit and best selling single from the album in both countries. Worldwide again the song was a massive success doing better than the lead single "Wind It Up", it topped the charts in New Zealand and hit top 5 in Australia, Canada, Norway, Belgium, France, Ireland and Netherlands, and also top 10 peaks in Austria, Germany, Danish, Finland and Swiss, then top 20 everywhere else. |

06. No Doubt - Just A Girl = Avg.[8.761]
Highest Rates: 11 [American Oxygen, Jark, Aphrodite, Frank] 10 [MIKEMYER] Lowest Rates: 4 [Fgiboy2511] At #6 we come back to No Doubt after a triple loss of Gwen singles. "Just A Girl" which stands one of their best known songs, originally released in September 1995 as the lead single from "Tragic Kingdom" and helped the band finally break into the mainstream by becoming their first song to chart on the USA billboard charts peaking at #23. This also marked a change in the band's sound after original song writer Eric Stefani left the band and the rest of them took up writing the lyrics to their 3rd album which was also their breakthrough. In the UK it was also their first single and only managed a #38 peak, but after the success of "Don't Speak" it was re-released and reached #3 becoming their 2nd top 10 hit. The song also became a success in other countries by reaching top 10 in Australia, New Zealand and Norway, along with top 40 peaks everywhere else, becoming their breakthrough in some countries, or becoming more successful after it's re-release in other countries. |

05. Gwen Stefani - Cool = Avg.[8.863]
Highest Rates:11 [Mr Aly]. 10 [Acidburn, Fgiboy2511, West, Auron87, Nick F1, Heezus Froot, Jark, Cremey, Riser] Lowest Rates: 6 [American Oxygen, Griff, Frank] At #5 is Gwen Stefani's "Cool", which now leaves only one of her solo efforts left to come (but where will that end up), now this shocked me, I was expecting this to finish around top 15 or so, but honestly glad it's done so much better as it settles into the top 5. Released in June 2005 and taken as the 4th single from her debut album "Love Angel Music Baby", the song was co written by Dallas Austin who was himself inspired by her band's songs "Underneath It All" and "Simple Kind Of Life", but he was unable to finish it and asked Gwen for assistance and they wrote it in 15 minutes and plus I just love that into on the music video version. The song became another success for her by reaching #13 on the USA charts and hit #11 on the UK charts. Elsewhere it managed top 10 peaks in Netherlands, New Zealand and Australia, while hitting top 20 in Ireland, Danish, Austria, Italy, Norway, Finland and Germany. |

04. No Doubt - Hella Good = Avg.[9.238]
Highest Rates: 11 [Mr Aly, Auron87, Kellyann, Cremey], 10 [Acidburn, West, Kylie Jackson, MIKEMYER] Lowest Rates: 7 [Heezus Froot, Jark] At #4 is No Doubt's "Hella Good" released in April 2002 as the 2nd single from their fifth album "Rock Steady" and this continued their successful comeback they had with "Hey Baby" and this became another hit for them by reaching #13 on the USA charts and fared slightly better in the UK by peaking at #12, elsewhere it hit top 10 in Australia and top 20 in New Zealand, then top 40 peaks in Canada and Ireland. |

'Hella Good' should have won the whole thing, but I can't argue with the 3 remaining.

Just a Girl is such a monster tune. So much better than Hella Good. Generally though these results are looking pretty fair for once! It's My Life to win.

Don't Speak and What You Waiting For are both in my top 40 ever so either be a brilliant winner, I prefer WYWF just slightly though. It's My Life would by no means be a bad winner though, fabulous song.

I'm surprised that Cool is the second highest rated LAMB single, but well deserved! Also happy that Bathwater made the top 10. It's My Life or WYWF to win (Don't Speak is also amazing, but it would be too predictable).

03. No Doubt - It's My Life = Avg.[9.477]
Highest Rates: 11 [Fgiboy2511, Henderella, Kylie Jackson] 10 [My Aly, Acidburn, West, American Oxygen, Heezus Froot, Liam, Jark, Kellyann, Aphrodite, Mack Kauto] Lowest Rates: 7 [Atonement] At #3 is the ever brilliant single by No Doubt "It's My Life", the results were very close throughout and this was actually at #1 at one point, but around halfway through this slipped, but still managed a respectable top 3 position. Released in October 2003 as the lead single from their greatest hits album "The Singles 1991-2003", This song is actually a cover and originally sung by Talk Talk in 1984 and was a moderate success for them worldwide, but No Doubt became the first to take it to the US Top 10 and UK top 20. The band decided upon an 80's cover for the greatest hits album in favour of writing new songs and in the end it was between this and INXS "Don't Change", which would have been interesting, but glad they went with this, as they certainly did it justice and made it better than the original. The song hit #10 in the USA becoming their 3rd and final top 10 hit and in the UK it peaked at #20, but was later re-released in 2004 as a double a-side with "Bathwater" and made a better peak of #17. Elsewhere it managed top 5 peaks in Norway, Netherlands and Sweden as well as top 10 in Ireland, Netherlands, Australia, Italy, New Zealand, Belgium and Germany. |

02. No Doubt - Don't Speak = Avg.[9.659]
Highest Rates: 11 [Acidburn, West, Liam, Mack Kauto, MIKEMYER] 10 [Henderella, Kylie Jackson, Auron87, Nick F1, Heezus Froot, Kellyann, Frank, Cremey] Lowest Rates: 7/7.5 [Fgiboy2511, Dandystar] We are now almost at the end and in the runner spot is No Doubt's "Don't Speak", which means Gwen Stefani's debut solo single is the winner. But for now let's talk about No Doubt's amazing and brilliant "Don't Speak", which became their breakthrough and put these guys on the map with an alltime iconic classic. Again this was also #1 at one point on this rate, in fact the entire top 3 has swapped places throughout the scoring process, but in the end this missed out by just 4 points. Surprisingly this song didn't enter the US Top 100 due to the chart rules at the time of this not getting a commercial release, but it did top the top 100 airplay chart for 16 weeks, and probably would have done the same on the official charts if properly released. But in the UK it was properly released and became their first and only #1 hit and has to date sold over 900,000 copies and became one of the biggest selling songs of the year. Elsewhere it topped the charts in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Danish, Netherlands, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and Swiss and top 5 everywhere becoming their crossover success. 01. Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For = Avg.[9.818] Highest Rates: 11 [West, Henderella, Kylie Jackson, Auron87, Liam, Kellyann, Frank, Dandystar] 10 [Acidburn, Mr Aly, American Oxygen, Heezus Froot, Griff, Jark, Aphrodite, Cremey, MIKEMYERS] Lowest Rates: 6 [Fgiboy2511, Atonement] So here we have it our official #1 out of No Doubt and Gwen Stefani's solo hits, it's her first official solo debut that wins this overall rate with the excellent "What You Waiting For" which was the start of a successful run of singles for her and getting her solo career off to a flying start. This was actually one of the first songs she wrote for the album with Linda Perry after she forced her into a chokehold, another song was written called "Fine By You" which I don't think has been recorded and this also the first time Gwen introduced the Harajuku Girls after becoming inspired by them and even wrote a song about them on her album. Released in September 2004 as the lead single from "Love Angel Music Baby" and won rave reviews, in the USA it wasn't strongly received by peaking at #47, but fared much better elsewhere like in the UK where it reached #4 as well as topping the charts in Australia and hitting top 5 in Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, New Zealand, Norway, Belgium, Finland and France. So there you have it we have come to the end and I would like thank everybody's whose voted and made this a success. |
