Before we get to the top 2 let's take a look at the forum's biggest Calvin Harris fans...

and it's Midge who gave the highest average score with 8.95(!)/10. Five of you gave an average of over 8/10, as for me I was a bit more conservative and had an average of just below 8/10. Most of you gave between 7-8/10 and a small handful gave an average of below 6/10.

1 8.95 Midge
2 8.84 Dexton
3 8.70 DalekTurret32
4 8.27 gavindeejay
5 8.01 Juan Carlos
6 7.99 danG (tied)
6 7.99 SamJudd (tied)
8 7.92 HarryEzra
9 7.91 Josh!
10 7.77 BridgeCow
11 7.76 jase.
12 7.45 Jade (tied)
12 7.45 Stu1985 (tied)
14 7.25 Joe.
15 7.16 PeteFromLeeds
16 6.93 Dobbo (6.928)
17 6.93 Chez Wombat (6.925)
18 6.90 Jack
19 6.43 Dircadirca
20 6.36 SevenSeize
21 6.18 Jester
22 6.00 Bjork

I'm Not Alone is the only good song in that top 5. the rest are all average or ridiculously overrated.

#02. We Found Love (with Rihanna)

Rate score: 9.07/10
Highest rate score: 11/10 (Stu1985)
Lowest rate score: 6/10 (Dobbo, Dircadirca)
2014 rate position: 1st of 21

Year of release: 2011
Album: Talk That Talk / 18 Months
UK Chart position: #1
YouTube views: 836.4m
Spotify streams: 402.6m



This served as the lead single from Rihanna's 6th studio album 'Talk That Talk', though was also added onto '18 Months' following its huge success, and is also credited with bringing Calvin Harris to a worldwide audience. Upon its release it of course entered the UK chart straight in at #1 where it stayed for six non-consecutive weeks, with it remaining in the top ten for 14 weeks, and it remains Calvin's biggest selling single to date. It may have been overplayed but it truly is an outstanding song in both artists' discographies, and it is as much a Calvin single as it is Rihanna's with his production shining through and leading to a banging anthemic drop which inspired countless others in the genre. Last time the rate was run this was deemed Calvin's best single, but this time around it has lost out to...

#01. I'm Not Alone

Rate score: 9.08/10
Highest rate score: 11/10 (Chez Wombat, Jester)
Lowest rate score: 5/10 (Josh, cqmerqn)
2014 rate position: 3rd of 21

Year of release: 2009
Album: Ready For The Weekend
UK Chart position: #1
YouTube views: 15.0m
Spotify streams: 21.6m



And the winner of the rate is 'I'm Not Alone'! Taken as the first single from 'Ready For The Weekend', of course. Another of his most outstanding songs, this saw Calvin drop the disco influences (until bringing them back for the follow-up) and instead go for something more trancey and euphoric. It became his second UK #1 single and first as a lead, where it entered and stayed there for two weeks. I prefer 'We Found Love' myself but it is great to see a Calvin lead single at the top of the leaderboard and one that has truly stood the test of time, with its 10th birthday soon around the corner. As much as I love the new Calvin it is a shame that we'll probably never get something like this again from him as it is rather brilliant. Alongside its two 11/10s, it got thirteen 10/10s, and only three people rated it less than 8/10 (let me name and shame Dobbo for his 7/10 alongside the two 5/10s). In 2014 it finished in third, so improves by two positions.

Thanks for following this, now let's see the full results.

1 9.08 I'm Not Alone
2 9.07 We Found Love (with Rihanna)

Thanks Dan! I can't argue with those results. Nothing hugely disappointing here, well done everyone! Fab winner and I really like that Pray to God made top 3!

No way did 'I'm Not Alone' pull the upset over 'We Found Love' which usually dominates these things... oh my gosh! ohmy.gif I am so pleased with that outcome, well done BuzzJack wub.gif I revisited 'I'm Not Alone' at the Now 73 plug.dj session a couple of weeks ago and it still sounded so fresh even now. Thanks for this Dan!

Perfect winner, it's still easily his signature song in my view even if it was outsold by most things that came after, and would be a perfect top 10 if it weren't for the very overrated Sweet Nothing. Spectrum was incredible, this...was anything but.

Thanks for hosting Dan!

pretty unexpected results, really thought Sweet Nothing could win it, bit of a travesty it didn't even make the top 5, when Spectrum made it, the original unremixed spectrum is not that different :/
also disappointed How deep is your love isn't higher, should have been t5 too

on the positive side, glad the Haim collab made tp 3

for me the ideal t5 would have bee
1 Sweet nothing
2 I need your love
3 Pray to God or How deep is your love

Really pleased to see one of Calvin’s own songs win rather than a feature.

Great winner! smile.gif

I only wanted to include songs that were hits of any kind. tongue.gif Olé didn't even reach the top 100.

Oh my goodness, shocked at "I'm Not Alone" winning but it's well deserved! It really put him on the map wub.gif

Also not surprised that Dexton & myself posted a similar average rating for him laugh.gif

I wonder what the results would look like without cqmerqn's votes; so many polarising scores that I'd think it skews the results somewhat (a bit) in favour of his favourite ones (featuring Ellie Goulding).

Thanks for hosting Dan, excellent stuff!

Interestingly, if cqmerqn didn't vote 'Pray To God' tied with 'I'm Not Alone' for points (9.25/10) though INA would win on tiebreak. 'We Found Love' down to #4 behind 'Spectrum' and 'Sweet Nothing' finishing off the top five. The two Ellie songs down from 10th/14th to 12th/15th so not much of a difference in that respect. 'Slide' would have made the top ten over 'Outside'. But of course the results would look slightly different for any one person who voted with how close things got.
