Stopped by : Clive Dunn - Grandad
Top points - Achabaan 24,Suedehead 20,SamJudd 14


After three of their singles charted below the top 20,this was T Rex's breakthrough hit and the first of eleven consecutive top 10 singles from 1971 to 1973 including four no.1s. It was in the top 50 for 14 weeks before it reached no.2,dropping down at one stage from no.6 to no.12.







Posted by: King Rollo 9th March 2020, 06:18 PM

49. Nu Shooz - I Can't Wait 79 pts

Stopped by : Wham! - The Edge Of Heaven
Top points - AH Gold 24,King Rollo 11,ready for it 8,Mark 223 8,SevenSeize 8


From 1986,this was the only top 40 single for the American husband and wife duo,John Smith and Valerie Day. They continue to record and perform under the Nu Shooz name,releasing their seventh and most recent album in 2016.


Posted by: King Rollo 9th March 2020, 06:51 PM

48. Clout - Substitute 80 pts

Stopped by : John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John - You're The One That I Want
Top points - AH Gold 23,Achabaan 21,King Rollo 19


The iconic novelty hit,'The Smurf Song' by Father Abraham and the Smurfs (why did no one vote for that one in the first round?) had been queuing up behind John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John for six weeks before being replaced at no.2 by 'Substitute' for the next two weeks. The song was first recorded by The Righteous Brothers in 1975. Clout's version reached no.1 in several countries. It was then covered by Gloria Gaynor. Her version was struggling for sales until DJs started playing its B side 'I Will Survive',meaning that the writer of 'Substitute',Willie H Wilson,has made a huge amount of money in royalties from the Clout and Gloria Gaynor versions. The South African girl group Clout are a one hit wonder in the UK and split up in 1981.

47. Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballe - Barcelona 81 pts

Stopped by : Snap! - Rhythm Is A Dancer
Top points - King Rollo 23,Suedehead 19,marcinjaro 15


Written and released in 1987 as a theme for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics,this got to number 8. When the games finally took place,it was re-released and reached number 2. The combination of Freddie and Montserrat worked so well that they released a full album of duets in 1988.


Posted by: SevenSeize 9th March 2020, 07:22 PM

this was the first time I've heard 'Substitute' in like 10-15 years laugh.gif didn't recognise it by name, great little pop tune!

46. Mark Snow - The X Files 82 pts

Stopped by : The Prodigy - Firestarter
Top points - jszmiles 24,JackJones 18,Chez Wombat 12


The huge popularity of the X Files in 1996 led to its theme tune being released as a single. It went straight in at number 2 and spent three weeks there.

Was hoping Calvin Harris and Example could make it through but didn't think they would. Other than that, no major losses so far although a few from the lower end of my votes have dropped out already.

Posted by: King Rollo 11th March 2020, 06:45 PM

40. Fifth Harmony featuring Ty Dolla Sign - Work From Home 128 pts

Stopped by : Mike Posner - I Took A Pill In Ibiza
Top points - Jack 24,girlsaloudjunkie 22,ready for it 21


The second of two top 10 hits for Fifth Harmony. It was originally called 'Work' but the title was changed to avoid clashing with Rihanna's song of the same name which came out a few weeks earlier.

39. Philip George - Wish You Were Mine 132 pts

Stopped by : Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk

Never knew that. Though 'Work From Home' seems to make much more sense as a title anyway given the overall lyrical theme of the song!

Stopped by : Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight)
Top points - M4NGO 25,JackJones 20,girlsaloudjunkie 18


From 2000,Sonique's follow-up to her no.1 single 'It Feels So Good'. She would go on to have just one more top 10 hit.

Stopped by : Lisa Stansfield - All Around The World
Top points - ready for it 25,marcinjaro 22,King Rollo 20


The last of Phil Collins' seven no.1 singles in the US where it also won a Grammy for Record of the Year. Over here,it won the Brit award for best British single. It wins a tie-break over 'Sky' by 13 votes to 12.

35. Kylie Minogue - Wouldn't Change A Thing 138 pts

Stopped by : Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers - Swing The Mood
Top points - Mark223 25,M4NGO 24,Jason 20


From the same year,this was Kylie's seventh single. She kept up her record of reaching the top 2 with each release.


Posted by: SamJudd 12th March 2020, 07:31 PM

Shame Sonique didn't go on to more success, her 3 hits 'It Feels So Good', 'Sky' & 'I Put A Spell On You' were all amazing & her album 'Hear My Cry' was pretty decent also 'Move Closer' would have made a perfect 4th single (in a edited down form), it could have easily given her another top 10 hit.




She had a massive year 2000 & thought she would go on to build a successful career, but then she disappeared for 3 years which totally killed all her momentum, dunno why or what took her so long to come back. Her 2003 comeback single 'Can't Make Up My Mind' which did give her a final top 20 hit, was ok (and she was lucky to get that) was simply nowhere near as strong or memorable as her previous singles & just fell through the cracks & never heard from again.

Which is such a waste as there was so much potential & if she struck while the iron was still hot, then maybe things may have turned out different.

Posted by: Bjork 12th March 2020, 07:45 PM

Noooooo! Two of my all times faves out sad.gif

Sonique deserved so much more success, she had great songs and a very distinctive voice. 'Can't Make Up My Mind' and 'Alive' from the follow-up era were also both really good.

'Wouldn't Change A Thing' is one of those songs which instantly takes my back to my childhood, classic SAW, I can't understand why people don't rate it highly amongst her singles.

34. Bastille - Of The Night 139 pts

Stopped by : Lily Allen - Somewhere Only We Know
Top points - Jason 23,Jester 21,JackJones 15


Corona's 'The Rhythm Of The Night' has qualified for the final but this interpolation of it (combined with Snap!'s 'Rhythm Is A Dancer') has not made it. It sold about 80200 copies in its first week,just 660 behind Lily Allen's song.


Posted by: jszmiles 12th March 2020, 09:56 PM

Stopped by : Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls
Top points - Darrenj 25,jimwatts 20,Mark223 19


This is still the only top 40 single for the Plain White T's. Group member Tom Higgenson was inspired to write the song after meeting Delilah DeCrescenzo,the American steeplechase and cross country runner.

32. Scorpions - Wind Of Change 153 pts

Stopped by : Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You
Top points - jimwatts 23,coi 23,JackJones 22


Written during the group's tour of the USSR at the height of perestroika,this now sits at number 15 on the list of best selling singles worldwide and it's the biggest seller by a German act. In the UK,it's the group's only top 20 single.

31. Greg Lake - I Believe In Father Christmas 160 pts

Stopped by : Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Top points - King Rollo 21,Suedehead 21,danG 18,Chez Wombat 18


From 1975,the instrumental part of this song was based around the Troika section of Sergei Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije Suite from 1934. Greg Lake is a one hit wonder on his own and also as part of Emerson,Lake & Palmer whose only hit,'Fanfare For The Common Man',also reached number 2.

Stopped by : Black Eyed Peas - Where Is The Love?
Top points - girlsaloudjunkie 23,Jack 22,Alex! 19,Scene 19


With lyrics written by Cathy Dennis,this is an answer song to 'Cry Me A River' which is also in this semi-final. Justin Timberlake's song is believed to be aimed at Britney Spears but when 'Sweet Dreams My LA Ex' was offered to Britney,she turned it down so it ended up as Rachel Stevens' debut single.

I'm sorry KingRollo, but I counted TWICE and my 'abacus' says SKYFALL with only 191 points. So, it hasn't got through. angel.gif

I can't believe I just checked because of this, but it has 202.

I still have Skyfall as having 202 points. I think what's happened is if you use ctrl F to highlight the votes for Skyfall you will miss vibe's 11 points because he spelt it with two words,Sky Fall. Your total of 191 with 11 added on = 202.

Sorry, vibes mispell tricked me. Ctrl F couldn't read his 'Sky fall' vote. angel.gif

the only mediocre ones that passed are No Good Advice and Stop, but guess too many girl band fanatics in the forum biggrin.gif
if someone things No Good Advice deserves it....


No Good Advice is one of GA's standout singles imo.

Shame Black Velvet narrowly missed out. Such a glorious song. At least Lovefool, Manic Monday and NGA made it though.
