When i see someone put a song next to 30....does that mean its in 30th position...or 30 points (and therefore in 1st place!?)
I'm taking 30 at the top of a list to mean 30 points. If a list has 1. at the top, as with Dandy's list, I'm taking it to mean 1st place.
others agree??
thanks all...my list therefore coming with top song at the top with 30 next to it
30 points at the top then descending...

Thanks for all the lists. I'll still accept any overnight votes.
Voting is now closed
37 people voted which is a great response. Last year, 29 people voted in the first round of the no.2 poll and the year before, 25 voted in the first round of the no.1 poll.
This evening, I will start a countdown of the singles that didn't make it through to the semi-finals.
Love these type of things Great work organising it King Rollo
1 point
Barry Biggs - Sideshow
Eiffel 65 - Move Your Body
Milli Vanilli - Girl You Know It's True
Paul McCartney and Wings - Band On The Run
Oasis - Songbird
The Rolling Stones - Miss You/Faraway Eyes
I think Band On The Run is my favourite Wings song. It was on my shortlist but didn't make my top 30. Also here, from 1978, we have Miss You, the final top 5 single for the Rolling Stones. Oasis have two songs this time and the first one bows out early on. Sideshow was Barry Biggs' only top 20 hit. I don't think I've heard it since the 1970s but I still remember how the chorus goes. That's the test of a good song.
Sorry I didn't submit in time, I tried cutting the list down the other day and it proved tougher than I was anticipating so I was going to come back to it, just didn't quite squeeze the right moment in to do so. But will vote in the next round and follow along with the results - 'Songbird' my favourite of that lot!
2 points
Lene Lovich - Lucky Number
Megan Thee Stallion - Savage
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Dear Prudence
This classic from the new wave era was Lene Lovich's only top 10 single. Dear Prudence is often cited as one of the best cover versions of a Beatles song. Savage is one of the songs from 2020 that made their way in.
3 points
Boyzone - Key To My Life
Dean Friedman - Lucky Stars
Sly Fox - Let's Go All The Way
Carly Rae Jepsen - I Really Like You
Lucky Stars from 1978 is a duet but Denise Marsa didn't get a credit. It was often the case at that time that a singer on a record would not be credited on the cover. We also have Boyzone's second single and a one hit wonder for Sly Fox.
4 points
Victoria Beckham - This Groove/Let Your Head Go
Destiny's Child - Emotion
The Grid - Swamp Thing
Delta Goodrem - Born To Try
Enrique Iglesias - Do You Know (The Ping Pong Song)
Alison Moyet - Is This Love?
The Script - Superheroes
I was trying to remember who was involved with The Grid. I knew it was someone from the 80s. On checking, I see it's David Ball from Soft Cell. This was one of six top 40 hits for the duo. Elsewhere, we also have Delta Goodrem's debut single and Alison Moyet's fourth solo top 10 hit.
A few great songs out already - Carly Rae Jepsen - I Really Like You, Lene Lovich - Lucky Number and Siouxsie and the Banshees - Dear Prudence are (very different) classics but they just missed my votes.
Very surprised I'm the only person to vote for Born to try - I thought Delta was pretty loved on Buzzjack
How was I the only person to vote for 'I Really Like You'?? I thought Buzzjack had a few Carly fans
Good pick in highlighting Swamp Thing, that was a big favourite of mine when it was released
On the other hand, I'm not at all surprised that noone else voted for Key To My Life 😂
5 points
BTS - Dynamite
Black Eyed Peas - Don't Phunk With My Heart
Lloyd featuring Andre 3000 and Lil Wayne - Dedication To My Ex (Miss That)
Morrissey - You Have Killed Me
Will Smith - Miami
S Club 7 - Natural
This was one of two Morrissey singles to reach number 3, his highest chart placing. It was also his final top 10 hit. Eight of S Club 7's first nine singles reached the top 2, the only one that didn't is Natural which appears here.
6 points
Craig David - Walking Away
Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson - Scream
Van McCoy and the Soul City Symphony - The Hustle
PM Dawn - Set Adrift On Memory Bliss
The Proclaimers - Letter From America
Liam Payne featuring Quavo - Strip That Down
Rogue Traders - Voodoo Child
Slade - Everyday
Will Smith - Gettin' Jiggy Wit It
Sugababes - Ugly
U2 - Elevation
An excellent use of the Elvis Costello sample by Rogue Traders while PM Dawn do the same with Spandau Ballet. There's also the disco classic from Van McCoy and a variety of acts from Slade and The Proclaimers to Sugababes and the two most well known Jacksons.
7 points
Chris Andrews - Yesterday Man
C & C Music Factory featuring Freedom Williams - Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)
Ricky Martin - She Bangs
David Sneddon - Don't Let Go
Wildchild - Renegade Master '98
A dance classic from the C & C Music Factory, the first of their two top 5 singles. I wasn't sure if I knew the Chris Andrews song from 1965 but having a listen, I do recognise it. Also here is Fame Academy winner David Sneddon with the follow-up to his number 1.
8 points
Atomic Kitten - It's OK
Bananarama - Robert De Niro's Waiting
Cliff Richard - Some People
Edwin Starr - War
Texas - Say What You Want
Travis - Sing
Some People is the first from my own list to appear. In my opinion, it's Cliff's finest single. We also have two girl groups, two Scottish bands and Edwin Starr's landmark recording.
At least I’m not the only one to love the Snedders Don’t Let Go!
Well, you're the only person who voted for it so maybe you are.
The only person who voted for Edwin Starr - War?
Perhaps the Virgin Media advert was the reason, Carly didn't get votes.
C&C Music Factory is probably my favourite of those that are out so far, don't think there have been any that votes from me would have saved though.
Only 1 of my nominations is already out. No surprise I was the only one who voted for a Morrissey song. There's hardly any hype for him on here.
Surprised 'Set Adrift On Memory Bliss' has already been eliminated. It wasn't close to my top 30 list but I really like it.
I thought I voted Texas too but not 100% sure. Say What You Want is a classic, amazing song. Together with Travis-Sing, those are the only great songs missing so far.
9 points
Anne-Marie - 2002
The Beach Boys - Barbara Ann
The Isley Brothers - This Old Heart Of Mine (Is Weak For You)
McFly - Sorry's Not Good Enough/Friday Night
Queen - A Kind Of Magic
Taylor Swift - Willow
Unkle Kracker - Follow Me
A Kind Of Magic was written by Roger Taylor and was used as the ending theme of the Highlander film. Willow is the most recent number 3 to get a vote and is currently at number 13 on the chart. We also have two singles here from 1966.
Who voted for '2002' 💀
The Proclaimers are the only of my nominations out so far. Although there are already a few songs I'd missed from going through the list of #3s so hadn't really considered, including that Isley Brothers one which probably wouldn't have made my final 30, but would have been close to it.
10 points
Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart
Culture Club - Victims
The Damned - Eloise
Dua Lipa - IDGAF
Papa Roach - Last Resort
Donna Summer and Barbara Streisand - No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)
Peter Skellern - You're A Lady
The second song from my vote to go out, a beautiful song by Peter Skellern with great use of the brass band and choir. I think Victims by Culture Club is better than either of their number 1s and we have a great cover version of Eloise by The Damned. No More Tears really should have been a number 1 single.
I forgot that 'Last Resort' charted as high as #3! Great song.
'Don't Phunk With My Heart', 'A Kind of Magic' and 'willow' are my favourites to drop out so far!
'2002' has no position to be next to Queen, and The Beach Boys or even Taylor Swift.
Oh no, Last Resort is the first of my votes to go out D:
So far 'Strip That Down' and 'War' has gone out of my favourites.
11 points
Godley & Creme - Under Your Thumb
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Purple Haze
Christina Milian - When You Look At Me
Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up
Another one from my vote, Kevin Godley puts in a dramatic performance on TOTP for this train based ghost story. The legendary Jimi Hendrix is here while the other two acts still have one more song to come.

The Fugees - Rumble In The Jungle
Selena Gomez - Lose You To Love Me
George Michael - Older/I Can't Make You Love Me
Mental As Anything - Live It Up
Orbital - Satan (Live)
The View - Same Jeans
Yazoo - Nobody's Diary
A great song by Yazoo, their third top 3 hit. Also here we have Live It Up which recently reached no.1 on the sales chart after being adopted by fans of Rangers FC.
Doh! Only just seen this thread, sorry. My full points would obviously have gone to Baker Street.

and that's just the 60's and half the slots are already gone!
No I couldnt have narrowed it down to 30, it would have driven me insane at having to dump major classics! I would have had to just go to my All-Time Top 900 and see which ones peaked at 3, otherwise I wouldnt even get beyond 1980....
Satan (Live) is an absolute tune! I remember being so surprised when it charted as high as #3
'Same Jeans' a landfill indie classic. And again I forgot it charted as high as #3!
how can 2002 be in the company of all these classics :/
All 30 of mine still in
I didn't nominate 2002 but LOL at people's reaction. Well, maybe I should have given it 20 points just to see that song going through to the semifinals and make this thread even funnier.
I just lost 1 nomination so far but I will lose another one with 13 points.
Think I'm about to lose my second but only the Boyzone guilty pleasure gone so far!
Satan by Orbital is such a tune and in hindsight I probably should have included it in my top 30.
13 points
Agnes - Release Me
The Belle Stars - Sign Of The Times
Jonas Blue featuring Jack & Jack - Rise
Blue Mink - The Banner Man
East 17 - It's Alright
Girls Aloud - Life Got Cold
Katrina and the Waves - Love Shine A Light
Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry
Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney - FourFiveSeconds
This was the biggest hit for the all female band who came up with some party anthems from 1982-83. Jona Lewie's enduring Christmas tune is here along with the last song to win the Eurovision Song Contest for the United Kingdom.
Pretty shocked at 'Release Me' not making it through here
Poor Jonas Blue. Rise is a great dance track imo.
14 points
The Chi-Lites - Have You Seen Her
Alesha Dixon - Breathe Slow
Drake - Passionfruit
Nelly featuring City Spud - Ride Wit Me
Jurgen Vries featuring CMC - The Opera Song (Brave New World)
One of the best trance hits from the 2000s with a barnstorming vocal from Charlotte Church. We also have a soul classic from the Chi-Lites, one of six top ten singles for them from 1972 to 1976.
15 points
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Up Around The Bend
Kelis featuring Andre 3000 - Millionaire
The Killers - Human
Oceanic - Insanity
Two songs by The Killers have received votes, one has done very well but this one, which I prefer, hasn't. Insanity by Oceanic is still in the 1991 Survivor Poll in the Pre-2000s forum but it doesn't survive for long here.
16 points
City High - What Would You Do?
Chairmen Of The Board - Give Me Just A Little More Time
Alexis Jordan - Happiness
Level 42 - Lessons In Love
No Doubt - Just A Girl
Sabrina - Boys (Summertime Love)
Santana featuring Rob Thomas - Smooth
The Seahorses - Love Is The Law
Usher - U Remind Me
This was Level 42's highest charting single and my favourite song by them, of the ones I know. Also here is another early 70s soul classic, this time by Chairmen Of The Board and Sabrina, a favourite of every teenage boy in 1988.
I liked Kylies cover of Give Me A Little More Time
Human is the Killers best hit and I remember Smooth was played everywhere in 2000 but rarely hear it nowadays
City High and Smooth my first two casualties!
I've lost three now. Knew the Seahorses probably wouldn't get many other votes, but pretty surprised Love Shine A Light didn't either
Well spotted. My scoresheets are in alphabetical order by artist. As Vibe put the artist as Sybil on his vote I have 'The Love I Lost' under S and W. I will now combine its two scores.
Oceanic's 'Insanity' is SUCH a tune and its follow up 'Wicked Love' wasn't bad either
oh my who voted for Sabrina lol
17 points
David Bowie - Sound And Vision
DJ Fresh vs Jay Fay featuring Ms Dynamite - Dibby Dibby Sound
Post Malone - Wow
Suzi Quatro - 48 Crash
Bobby Vee - The Night Has A Thousand Eyes
From 1973, this was Suzi Quatro's follow-up to her no.1 single, Can The Can. She went on to have one more no.1. A great song by David Bowie is here along with the oldest single to receive a vote. The Night Has A Thousand Eyes is from February 1963 and was one of seven top 10 hits for Bobby Vee.
18 points
Betty Boo - Where Are You Baby?
The 411 - Dumb
R Kelly - She's Got That Vibe
Little Mix - DNA
MC Hammer - U Can't Touch This
Vanessa Paradis - Joe Le Taxi
Sam Smith and Normani - Dancing With A Stranger
Keala Settle and The Greatest Showman Ensemble - This Is Me
Stevie Wonder - Lately
Tying in with the TOTP repeats on BBC4 is U Can't Touch This which samples Super Freak by Rick James. It won't be long on TOTP (August 1990) before we see Betty Boo's highest charting single. Vanessa Paradis was only 14 years old when she recorded Joe Le Taxi.
19 points
The Bangles - Walk Like An Egyptian
Beyonce featuring Bun B and Slim Thug - Check On It
Dr Dre featuring Snoop Dog - The Next Episode
Girls Aloud - Call The Shots
The Mamas and the Papas - Monday Monday
Wet Wet Wet - If I Never See You Again
The Bangles' second top 3 single from 1986, the first was Manic Monday which leads us nicely to Monday Monday which was a hit for the Mamas and the Papas in 1966. Buzzjack's third favourite group, Girls Aloud, have already lost both of their songs. Their other number 3, Something Kinda Ooooh, received no votes at all.
I was the only one to show Stevie's 'Lately' any love. Good to see I wasn't the only one giving 'Monday Monday' some points.
Also a victory for taste with 'Life Got Cold' receiving points while 'Something Kinda Ooooh' didn't.
20 points
Big Brovaz - Nu Flow
Dido - Thank You
DB Boulevard - Point Of View
Jamelia - Superstar
Jennifer Lopez - Play
The Ordinary Boys - Boys Will Be Boys
Alexandra Stan - Mr. Saxobeat
A one hit wonder from 2002, I would have liked to have given points to both this and Walk Like An Egyptian but there were too many good songs ahead of them. Thank You by Dido became a hit four years after it was recorded after being sampled in Stan by Eminem.
I'm shocked I'm the only person who voted for Betty Boo 'Where Are You Baby' is so much fun. In fact I've been the only voter for all my songs which have left so far. I think that might be the last one now, although there's a chance I'm the only voter for my 30 pointer!
Having just discovered Bronski Beat's 'Smalltown Boy' from Channel 4's It's A Sin and finding out it peaked at number 3, I wish I knew of it before I voted. Has it appeared yet?
'Smalltown Boy' is a bit of a gay anthem so I can imagine it doing well on Buzzjack!
Lost my first song , didnt expect it to be Superstar !!

Abba - Money Money Money
Peter Cetera - Glory Of Love
Nik Kershaw - The Riddle
Madness - My Girl
The Saturdays - All Fired Up
Timbaland with Katy Perry - If We Ever Meet Again
Vengaboys - Kiss (When The Sun Don't Shine)
Another song I couldn't include in my vote so I'm glad someone has given it 21 points. It was one of five top 10 hits for Nik from 1984/85. We also have some great songs by Abba and Madness and Peter Cetera's first solo single after leaving Chicago.
Some Vengaboys fans still about 😄
Aw 'The Riddle' would probably have ranked very highly for me.

America - A Horse With No Name
Drake featuring Rihanna - Too Good
Five Star - System Addict
Howard Jones - New Song
Michael Jackson - The Way You Make Me Feel
Jennifer Lopez - I'm Gonna Be Alright (Track Masters Remix featuring Nas)
NSYNC - Bye Bye Bye
Shakira - Underneath Your Clothes
The Vapors - Turning Japanese
Richard X vs Liberty X - Being Nobody
It's only right that I should follow Nik Kershaw with Howard Jones. His debut single was one of his six top 10 hits from 1983 to 1985. We've already had Michael Jackson with his sister and he still has a further six songs left with the first appearing here. A Horse With No Name was America's signature song while Turning Japanese was an excellent one hit wonder.
23 points
The Cars - My Best Friend's Girl
Dina Carroll - Don't Be A Stranger
David Guetta featuring Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj - Where Them Girls At
Michael Jackson - Bad
Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem - Almost Here
Stevie Wonder - Part-Time Lover
From 1978, My Best Friend's Girl was The Cars' first top 40 hit. Michael Jackson quickly loses another song while Stevie Wonder loses the second of his two.
So, what's the cut-off? 24 points?
24 points
Backstreet Boys - Everybody (Backstreet's Back)
Big Shaq - Man's Not Hot
Ciara featuring Missy Elliott - 1,2 Step
Culture Club - Time (Clock Of The Heart)
Ellie Goulding - How Long Will I Love You
Keane - Is It Any Wonder?
Billie - Honey To The Bee
Pussycat Dolls featuring Snoop Dog - Buttons
Shania Twain - Man! I Feel Like A Woman
Timbaland presents One Republic - Apologize
Malcolm Vaughan - My Special Angel
Wheatus - A Little Respect
Jackie Wilson - I Get The Sweetest Feeling
This was taken from Keane's second album and gave them their third top 5 hit. I was wrong when I said the Bobby Vee song was the oldest. I didn't spot My Special Angel by Malcolm Vaughan which is from November 1957. It was one of four top 5 singles for the Welsh singer.
That's 5 of mine gone already, Honey To The Bee being the first that someone else voted for too!
I didn't vote for Wheatus but I prefer their version to Erasure's version of A Little Respect.
I thought that said Erasure’s ‘A Little Respect’ then and was gonna get upset at missing it off my list. Also Everybody & Bye Bye Bye are probably my two favourite boyband songs of all time, but didn’t expect them to do well.
I don't even know that Wheatus song but I am instinctively cheering at Wheatus being eliminated for their other crime.
Aw at Keane missing out. And Big Shaq ofc.
Is It Any Wonder? is an underrated gem.
I'm shocked Wheatus had another hit. I always thought they were a one-hit-wonder.
I had only lost a few of my votes until that last post but then lose three in one! Apologize, Man's Not Hot and Is It Any Wonder all falling there

Michael Jackson - Remember The Time/Come Together
Michael Jackson - She's Out Of My Life
KSI featuring Craig David and Digital Farm Animals - Really Love
Mabel - Don't Call Me Up
Portugal. The Man - Feel It Still
Python Lee Jackson - In A Broken Dream
REM - The Great Beyond
Thompson Twins - Doctor! Doctor!
This was one of five top 10 hits from 1983/84 for the group named after characters in The Adventures Of Tintin. In A Broken Dream was recorded in 1968 and featured vocals from a then unknown Rod Stewart. It was a hit after being re-released in 1972. Michael Jackson loses two more of his singles.
Yeah I do remember 'Remember The Time' but I don't remember 'She's Out Of My Life'.

This was the Rolling Stones' first top 10 hit. It was followed by five consecutive number 1s. Seven Madonna songs received votes and her version of Don't Cry For Me Argentina is the first to go out.
Is It Any Wonder & Scatman another two of my votes gone </3
Baby is too high xx
Baby should have gone to the semifinals imo.
Shame the cut-off is too high this time and I'm gonna lose another song with 28 points.
28 points
Audio Bullys featuring Nancy Sinatra - Shot You Down
Bon Jovi - It's My Life
Catatonia - Mulder And Scully
Tate McRae - You Broke Me First
The Supremes - Where Did Our Love Go
Barbra Streisand - Love Theme From A Star Is Born (Evergreen)
Donna Summer - This Time I Know It's For Real
Sash! - La Primavera
From 1998, this was the first of three top 10 hits for Catatonia. Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer's duet was eliminated earlier and now they go out together again.
Happy Hour is an absolute belter, was hoping it'd be higher and that I wasn't responsible for 3/4 of its points!
Gave Catatonia a few points and Audio Bullys weren't far off from that last set
'It's My Life' is one of Bon Jovi's finest but there still wasn't room for it in my top thirty
'Mulder And Scully' is a great 90s throwback.
Didn't expect to see Tate McRae that high with it being such a recent song
29 points
Crazy Town - Butterfly
Fatboy Slim and Riva Starr featuring Beardyman - Eat Sleep Rave Repeat
Lauren Hill - Doo Wop (That Thing)
The Human League - Love Action (I Believe In Love)
The Nolans - I'm In The Mood For Dancing
Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand
Sam Smith - I'm Not The Only One
Taylor Swift featuring Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco - Me!
Sunset Strippers - Falling Stars
Love Action was the first of eight top 10 hits for the Human League. A day after appearing as an artist, Barbra Streisand is now a song. It's great to see the Nolan sisters here, this must be the only type of Buzzjack poll in which they have the same points total as Taylor Swift.
'You Broke Me First' that's too high for my liking.
30 points
The Corrs - What Can I Do
Earth Wind And Fire - Let's Groove
Kasabian - Fire
The Rasmus - In The Shadows
The Small Faces - Itchycoo Park
Transvision Vamp - Baby I Don't Care
The Small Faces had the same number of top 10 hits as the Human League, that's if you count Itchycoo Park twice. It got to number 9 when re-issued in 1975. All six songs here are by groups.
Lauryn Hill is the 6th of my nominations to drop out. Such a shame she never fully followed up her solo debut.
Lauryn Hill
And Transvision Vamp too, that song's a guilty pleasure of mine
31 points
Jakatta - American Dream
Lady Gaga - Born This Way
John Miles - Music
29 of the 31 points for Music were from me. It's from a time when a six minute orchestral rock epic could actually reach the top 3. It's a shame to see it bow out, I suppose not many on here know it even though lyrically it's the perfect anthem for a music forum. Also here is a classic chillout tune from Jakatta.
32 points
Fuse ODG featuring Sean Paul - Dangerous Love
O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei
Topic and A7S - Breaking Me
I don't know any of these three but I have to pick one of them for the youtube clip so I chose the oldest. Having listened to it, I don't think I would give it any points if was entered into the current Club Bizarre foreign language edition in the dance forum.
How can you NOT KNOW 'Dragostea Din Tei'. Literally iconic.
Top Of The Pops was still going then so I would have heard it at the time and maybe on the radio as well but I don't remember it.
I thought Fatboy Slim would appear on 25 with only my points, so not surprised to see it appear tonight. I always thought it was complete rubbish when it was out and I heard it on the radio and then I saw him live at Glastonbury and he opened his set with it, realised I’d just never heard it in its best setting.
Hey King, are u doing 2 semifinals with 200 songs like last year? Im shocked the cut-off is higher than 32. It was 24 last year.
It's 100 songs in the semi-finals plus wild cards. I explained the format in the opening post.
33 points
The Bee Gees - How Deep Is Your Love
Bobby Brown - Too Can Play That Game
Kylie Minogue - All The Lovers
The Rembrandts - I'll Be There For You (Theme from Friends)
Skrillex & Diplo present Jack Ü featuring Justin Bieber – Where Are Ü Now
The Wanted - Gold Forever
Will Young - Your Game
This was one of eight US number 1 singles for the Bee Gees from 1975 to 1979 and was part of the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever. Also here are Kylie Minogue's final top 5 single and the theme tune to Friends.
34 points
Christina Aguilera - What A Girl Wants
Busted - What I Go To School For
Bodyrockers - I Like The Way
Chaka Demus and Pliers - Tease Me
Danny Wilson - Mary's Prayer
Deep Dish - Flashdance
Faul & Wad Ad vs Pnau - Changes
The Jam - The Eton Rifles
Avril Lavigne - When You're Gone
Mya - Case Of The Ex
Spin Doctors - Two Princes
Danny Wilson were not named after the football player, they took their name from a Frank Sinatra film called 'Meet Danny Wilson'. This was their only top 20 hit. We also have two great songs by The Jam and Deep Dish.
35 points
Backstreet Boys - Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely
Robbie Williams - Let Me Entertain You
Vanessa Williams - Save The Best For Last
A lovely ballad which reached number 1 in the US. Like Danny Wilson, Vanessa had no other top 20 hits in the UK. She has gone on to a successful career as an actress.
36 points
Taylor Dayne - Tell It To My Heart
Faith No More - I'm Easy/Be Aggressive
Post Malone - Circles
The Source featuring Candi Staton - You Got The Love (Now Voyager Mix)
A song originally recorded by Candi Staton for a 1980s documentary about an obese man who was trying to lose weight. It's been played about with a few times with the 1997 remix being the definitive version.
Intrigued as to how many songs are left to drop out before the top 100 plus wildcards. Last year I think the cut-off was 24 points for the top 200, and here I've counted 73 songs from 25-36 points, but with a few more voters this year.
I lost 5 of my 30 early on and haven't lost any more since but it's nerve wracking with each update, not knowing how many more are still to come before we hit the top 100!
Plenty recent departures I'd have been happy to see in the top 100, not least You Got The Love and All The Lovers.
Think have lost 13/30 so far, think It's My Life is my highest casualty so far (gave it 22 points) but could be wrong!
'Two Princes' by Spin Doctors is a fantastic song imo, shame it only got as far as #3.
too bad we lost the fantastic Tell it to my Heart (Taylor Dayne)!!!
37 points
Drake - Hotline Bling
Everything But The Girl - I Don't Want To Talk About It
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Ray Dalton - Can't Hold Us
Samantha Mumba - Always Come Back To Your Love
Everything But The Girl's cover version of the song made famous by Rod Stewart which reached number 1 in 1977 as part of a double A side. The song was originally recorded by Crazy Horse in 1971.
38 points
ELO - Don't Bring Me Down
EMF - Unbelievable
Dusty Springfield - I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
This was one of four top 10 ten singles from ELO's 1979 album Discovery. Last year, it was voted as Buzzjack's fourth favourite ELO song in the quickie rate I hosted in the pre-2000s forum. Also here are two fine songs by EMF and Dusty Springield.
Macklemore, Samantha Mumba and EMF the best of those two batches!
39 points
Katy Perry - Firework
Ultravox - Dancing With Tears In My Eyes
One of just three top 10 hits for Ultravox. They had quite a few near misses. Despite only reaching number 3, Katy Perry's Firework has sold more than a million copies in the UK.
How many points is the cut-off for Round 2? Or is it a secret?
40 points
Janet Jackson - All For You
Plan B - She Said
West End featuring Sybil - The Love I Lost
From his no.1 album, The Defamation Of Strickland Banks, this was Plan B's biggest hit. Janet Jackson loses her second song but she still has one left.
41 points
Guru Josh Project - Infinity 2008
Status Quo - Rockin' All Over The World
The song by Status Quo that memorably kicked off the 1985 Live Aid concert is joined by Guru Josh's update of his single from 1990.
42 points
Abba - Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight)
Bananarama - Love In The First Degree
David Guetta vs The Egg - Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)
Jennifer Lopez - Ain't It Funny
Queen - I Want To Break Free
Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's Delight
The second top 3 single from Queen's 1984 album The Works, with the album track being extended by a minute for the single release. Also here are one of the first hit singles from the hip hop genre,a disco classic from Abba and Bananarama's metaphor laden song. Jennifer Lopez loses the third of her three singles.
I've still got 17 in contention, similar to others I lost about 5 very early, then none for ages but Eton Rifles, What I Go to School For, Dancing with Tears in My Eyes and Rockin All Over the World all gone recently.
43 points
The Bee Gees - Too Much Heaven
The Calling - Wherever You Will Go
Mason vs Princess Superstar - Perfect (Exceeder)
I haven't heard this one for a long time. I'd forgotten how good a song this is with the vocals and the orchestral arrangement. We also have the American group The Calling with the first of their four top 40 singles.
44 points
Luniz - I Got 5 On It
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Souvenir
This is my favourite song by OMD and I gave it 26 points. It was one of two singles by them to reach number 3 with Sailing On The Seven Seas matching that position ten years later. The Luniz song is from 1996 and was their only top 10 single.
If we were voting for worst Wherever You Will Go would have been in contention for my +30 so glad that drops out now!
Ughhhh at Luniz dropping out before the Top 100. In a genre that's usually not my cup of tea, I've loved I Got 5 On It since the week it was released.
I've got 23 still in contention, after losing 5 early, no more went for ages, but Queen and Luniz have gone now.
After reading this, I realize I forgot to vote for a few songs.
Will you tell us how many songs each member has left in the top 100 ?
Loving this thread btw
I haven't kept a record of who has voted for each song so the only way I could do that would be to look through each vote.
45 points
ATB - Don't Stop!
ATB's follow-up to his number 1 single, 9PM (Till I Come). He went on to have three more top 40 hits.
46 points
Richard Marx - Hazard
Suede - Stay Together
Hazard was one of two big hits for Richard Marx with the other one, Right Here Waiting, reaching number 2 three years earlier. Suede lose the first of their two songs.
47 points
Backstreet Boys - As Long As You Love Me
Sebastian Ingrosso and Tommy Trash featuring John Martin - Reload
KlangKarussell featuring Will Heard - Sonnentanz (Sun Don't Shine)
Maroon 5 - This Love
Madness - Baggy Trousers
Madness lose their second song while the Backstreet Boys lose the third of their three.
'Baggy Trousers' *.* a classic.
49 points
Alicia Keys - Fallin'
Avril Lavigne - Complicated
Zara Larsson - Lush Life
Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street
Carly Simon - You're So Vain
Zhu - Faded
With its iconic saxophone riff, Baker Street was a top 3 hit for Gerry Rafferty in 1978. From five years earlier, we have another well known song by Carly Simon. Her four top 10 hits were in 1972,1977,1982 and 1987 so the title of the last one, Coming Around Again, is quite appropriate. Three other female singers go out here.
You're So Vain I wasn't expecting it to do this well so I'm pleased others voted for it
Baggy Trousers and Lush Life out from my votes.
50 points
Ed Sheeran - The A Team
From 2011, this was Ed Sheeran's debut single.
51 points
Nelly Furtado featuring Timbaland - Promiscuous
Sigala featuring Bryn Christopher - Sweet Lovin'
Take That - Could It Be Magic
The Waterboys - The Whole Of The Moon
This inexplicably only reached number 26 in 1985 but was re-issued in 1991 to coincide with the release of 'The Best of The Waterboys 81-90' album. Also here is Take That's cover of the Barry Manilow song.
52 points
Leona Lewis - One More Sleep
Madonna - Erotica
Mott The Hoople - All The Young Dudes
The Prodigy - Charly
Red Box - Lean On Me (Ah-Li-Ayo)
An uplifting song that never fails to put me in a good mood. Red Box reformed in 2010 and are still going. Elsewhere, we have the song David Bowie wrote for Mott The Hoople, Leona Lewis' Christmas song, The Prodigy's first top 40 hit and the second of Madonna's seven singles that received votes.
THE CUT OFF POINT HAS BEEN REACHED
There are 102 songs left with the next four on 53 points. Rather than eliminate two of them on a tie-break, I am putting all four of them into the semi-finals. I also promised that every voter's favourite number 3 single is guaranteed a place in the semis so we also have some wild cards:
Wild Cards
30 points
Jax Jones featuring Raye - You Don't Know Me (danuary)
Britney Spears - Sometimes (No Sleeep)
Son Of Dork - Ticket Outta Loserville (Jason)
Britney Spears - Womanizer (Nick F1)
The Weeknd - The Hills (coi)
37 points
Angry Anderson - Suddenly (Mango 30 points)
So there will be 51 qualifiers plus three wild cards in each semi-final. The first one will start on Monday.
I kind of forgot that The Prodigy ever had any #3 hits. Probably should have looked that up and forced myself to vote just to save 'Charly', oh well
(it being 1 point away? pfft)
Ah Charly would've been in my next 1-2 to give points to, if only I'd given in the one over Songbird which no one else voted for!
Losing Charly at the last gasp is a shame. 22 of my 30 have made the cut though, including most of the top 10. Will settle for that!
'Suddenly' has always been one of my all time favourite songs (they don't make power ballads like that anymore) and then we had it as our first dance when I got married so yeah I'm glad it's going through as a wildcard even though I doubt anyone else is gonna give it any votes!
I'm surprised 'Erotica' finished so high for what I believe is generally regarded as a not very good Madonna song (I think it's brilliant though).
Ed Sheeran falls at the first hurdle again. Happy with 21 of my 30 surviving though and welcome additions of You Don't Know Me and Suddenly among the wildcards.
I’ll be voting for Suddenly again I love it takes me back to childhood and Kylie and Jason era on Neighbours
17 out of my 30 survived. The Waterboys and Red Box just missed out.
14 of mine made it through. Sadly lost Reload, Sonnentanz (Sun Don't Shine) and Faded from my top five right at the end but glad it wasn't just me voting for them.
17 of mine too unless I missed a song or miscounted (which is entirely possible)
I'm sorry but I didn't like this new system of only 100 songs going through to the semifinals. I preferred a lot more last year's sytem with 200 going through.
Hopefully we will be allowed to vote for only 10 songs in each seminfinal round because I don't think I like more than 10 songs left in the top 100.
You can vote for less than 25 songs in the semi-final if you want to. I'll set a minimum of 10.
Looks like if the cut off had been a top 200, it would have been across the 29 points group, but happy with it being done this way.
Oh I didn't realise there were only half as many songs going through this time - I was thinking it seems like a pretty huge difference in the cutoff point!
I've got 13 left, but 8 of them are in my top 10, only lost The A-Team and Nu Flow from my top 10.
Not One More Sleep missing the next stage by one vote. I should've given it the most points.
Also sad to see This Love and Could It Be Magic leave while getting so close.
