You've voted and now it's time for the result! Shock winner of the GA Buzzchart I think, and it's quite tight around the low top 10, so some interesting results lie ahead.

No real losses there, quite partial to 'Why Do It?' and 'It's Your Dynamite' though.
Boogie Down Love totally passed me by when I did my Buzzchart As did Enough Is Never Enough!
Bless Kimberley. At least Cheryl can say that they're four albums' worth of rejects.
Every released Nicola song making it
Looking forward to these results.
That's a very good list of bad Girls Aloud songs so not too fussed/surprised that they've missed out.
Although actually, I used to really like All I Need (All I Don't), but I didn't vote for it, so yeah.
All I Need / Blow Your Cover / It's Your Dynamite / Racy Lacey are all good, really. Just not as good as the songs that made it.
Wait. Beautiful Cause You Love Me got points?
Is the subtitle hinting at a Lucky Day win? HOPE SO.
If a Nicola track wins over the many infinitely better Girls Aloud songs coming up, I shall be outraged.
There are two buzzcharts! One for GA songs and one for solo songs, so you have no need to worry
Oh that makes sense. Very good.

82 -2 Kimberley - One Vision (Alfie Boe & Kimberley Walsh) - 82-
So we'll be visiting the solo chart first, counting right down to #1 before we move onto Girls Aloud. The only song to be on a negative score throughout the whole thing, my -2 for One Vision puts it in a firm last place. Terrible song. Defying Gravity is one of three Kimberley lead artist tracks to appear, with two further tracks to come. On the subject of Kimberley, Like U Like becomes the biggest faller of the solo buzzchart, catapulting 67 places down the chart from last year! Some Cheryl new entries, both old and new, with a Nadine thrown in for good measure. Chained should be higher imo

Another section with mostly Cheryl songs (no shock as she has considerably more songs than the others!). Nicola's first track drops out, with only me giving points to the wonderful Fix Me Two Nadine tracks appear at the top of the section too, one in the form of new entry Raw, as well as a climber from last year, Rumors. Cheryl also has two new entries in this section, including the another Only Human album track, and an A Million Lights track that didn't appear last year. In the middle, will.i.am#s Heartbreaker drops 51 places down to #63
No real losses thus far, I'm amazed 'Heartbreaker' did so well last year

Oh yes, apologies! This totally slipped my mind

A few more new entries in this section, including a Kimberley album track, one of just three! The Ronan Keating duet, Falling Slowly, only just makes the top 60. Cheryl's Only Human deluxe track, Firecracker, is new at #57, followed by A Million Lights super deluxe bonus track I Like It entering at joint 53rd. Nadine's My Sexy Love Affair also drops out way too low in this section, one of my favourites by her And finally, the first Nicola album track is lost! Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime is at #53. She still has 11 album tracks and 2 b-side in the running.

Another couple of new entries from Cheryl's recent album in the form of All in One Night and It's About Time, both new entries to the top 50! Must admit, I expected the latter to be a bit higher. 5 tracks from Only Human still remain. Nicola loses a couple of tracks, including her solo version of the Girls Aloud b-side Memory of You! Too Bad also presents us with the first of two Sarah entries in the buzzchart, with Real Wild Child still to come.
You know this solo chart has made me realise how little I care about the majority of their solo output.
I can't believe Joseph has the nerve to say he's going to sack me and Jay for being flop mods. He's the floppiest of all!!1
Maybe we're just aiming for a Christmas #1 (announcement) here
It's hard to remember when no-one comments on it anyway!!1!
(more coming later)
I have to admit that I'm more here for the group results than the solo ones. Eek!

A huge section now to get us up to the top 20, a bit more variety in the songs dropping out now (ie. not 90% Cheryl lol). Under the Sun is the first of two top 10 dropouts, down 18 places on last year's position! Nadine's Sweetest High also drops out, as well as the last remaining Sarah and Kimberley tracks.
Don't get why people don't like Hummingbird & Fish Out of Water more
Waiting For Lightning, Mechanics Of The Heart, and Porcelain Heart are underrated
I guessed those would be in top 20

Final section before the top 10 now! The second of two top 10 drop-outs is revealed as The Flood, falling 6 spots to #14. Crazy Stupid Love enters at #11, a respectable position really considering how low it came in the Only Human rate! Ghetto Baby climbs a whopping 22 places to #13, with Rain On Me being perhaps surprisingly close to the top 10? It's the highest non-single anyway
YOUR TOP 10:
Cheryl - 3 Words (feat. will.i.am)
Cheryl - Call My Name
Cheryl - Fight For This Love
Cheryl - I Don't Care
Cheryl - Only Human
Cheryl - Parachute
Cheryl - Promise This
Nadine - Insatiable

'Put Your Hands Up' only #19 yet 'Lucky Day' top 10. Disgusting.

Call My Name, Beat of My Drum & Lucky Day for top 3
SOLO
9 262 Cheryl - Parachute - 4-9-
10 238 Cheryl - Only Human - 10-
Time for the first of our two new entries now! Only Human was the third single from the album of the same name and is Cheryl's lowest charting and selling single to date. Poor cow. Parachute fared much better on the other hand, becoming a top 5 hit. Here, it slumps 5 places but still remains safely in the top 10.
SOLO
7 290 Cheryl - I Don't Care - 7-
8 272 Nicola - Lucky Day - 10-8-
Climbing two places is Nicola's second single, Lucky Day. Nicola has just one song left in the countdown, last year's winner Beat of My Drum, can she top the chart again? The highest new entry is at #7 and comes from Cheryl's record-breaking #1 single. I Don't Care shot straight to the top last November and gave Cheryl her 5th #1, more than any British female in chart history.
It is outrageous that 'Only Human' made it that high.
I AM DETERMINED TO FINISH THIS SOON.
SOLO
5 321 Cheryl - 3 Words (feat. will.i.am) - 9-5-
6 308 Nadine - Insatiable - 6-6-
Nadine's highest entry just missed the top 5 for a second year running, with Insatiable sticking at #6! The track is 13 places higher than Nadine's second highest entry, Put Your Hands Up, with over double its points. Cheryl's 3 Words remains a fairly marmite song amongst fans, with some hating it and some loving it. Seems most of the participants were fans this year as it climbs four places to the top 5!
Still in the running:
BEAT OF MY DRUM
CALL MY NAME
FIGHT FOR THIS LOVE
PROMISE THIS
I'm happy so long as 'Fight For This Love' doesn't win.
Call My Name & Beat of My Drum for top 2.
Just caught up, fab huge climb there for 'Ghetto Baby'! Yay 'Insatiable' also. *.*
'Fight For This Love' to win.
SOLO
3 382 Cheryl - Fight For This Love - 3-3-
4 355 Cheryl - Promise This - 7-4-
Promise This climbs into the top 5, reaching a new peak of #4! It's not enough to unseat Cheryl's debut single from its top 3 spot though, as Fight For This Love, a million-seller in the UK, sticks at #3 for a second year running.
This means we have the same top two as last year, but will Beat of My Drum defeat Call My Name again?
I've a preference of 'Call My Name' but both are fabulous so a great top 2 *.*
People like 'Beat of My Drum' that much? I thought it was pretty disliked among fans; certainly not the best from her album by any means either.
I hope Call My Name wins!
SOLO
1 500 Nicola - Beat of My Drum - 1-1-
2 418 Cheryl - Call My Name - 2-2-
So after all that, it's a non-moving top two! Nicola wins yet again with her debut hit Beat of My Drum, whereas Cheryl's club hit produced by Calvin Harris has to settle for the runner-up position.

Who rates 'Intro' above such classics as 'Real Life' and 'Androgynous Girls'??
Intro is amazing tbh *.*

Two Tangled Up b-sides are also lost in this section, with Hoxton Heroes and Dog Without a Bone falling out of the running. Blow Your Cover and the two Live Lounge covers failed to pick up any points, so it's the 11 remaining tracks from the album itself still left. Teenage Dirtbag is the only new entry in this section, and charts despite only being a live track (it's eligible because it was included as a b-side)! One new entry is still to come.
Did you know that there is a studio version of Teenage Dirtbag, Joseph? *.*

Apologies for the delay since the last set of results, my external hard drive had some difficulties which meant I had to spend 2 days retrieving files! It's all fixed and back to normal now thankfully.
Two more singles drop out here, including Whole Lotta History, which drops 17 places to #35 It should be CLIMBING guys!!! I Think We're Alone Now also drops out, falling 4 places. Nobody But You is the highest new entry to feature in the countdown!
Glad to see 'Singapore' getting a huge climb, a fantastic song!
'I Think We're Alone Now' is way too high, one of their worst singles. Poor 'Whole Lotta History', their best ballad and one of the best Pop ballads of the noughties
Can't believe 'Nobody But You' didn't chart before, you guys! So happy 'Singapore' climbed as well.
WLH is way too low.

Almost at the top 20 now! We lose the girls' second #1 hit I'll Stand By You as it falls 10 places. Going in the opposite direction, Every Now and Then has a huge climb of 15 places, and Watch Me Go climbs 14 places too! Long Hot Summer also drops out in this section despite a 6 place climb from last year.
Ill stand by you far too low, one of my favourite GA tracks ever

19 231 The Loving Kind - 9-19-
20 206 Control of the Knife - 29-20-
Singles aplenty in this section, with On the Metro now claiming the title of highest non-single! Girl Overboard slips one place to #16 and in doing so, it goes from the highest non-single to the third highest, following Black Jacks' 11 place climb to #13. Something New suffers a 7 place drop to #11 but The Loving Kind suffers worse and drops 10 places to #19 from #9 last year! Jump, Can't Speak French and Wake Me Up all fall from last year but Life Got Cold actually climbs above them all to a new peak of #14!
Yassss Black Jacks slaying so much
So did any album tracks make the top 10, or is On the Metro the highest-peaking one?
On The Metro officially the "should have been a single" song!
A slight disappointment that we have an all-singles top 10, but it seems like those are the tracks most of us agree on (I never expected my own non-single top 10 choices to chart too high, especially after the boot & immune series), and each of the remaining 10 made my list (of 40), so it's partly my fault as well.
Good to see Life Got Cold climbing - a great track!

09 346 The Promise - 10-9-
10 334 Love Machine - 11-10-
Two tracks climbing one place each now, as Love Machine gets a well deserved top 10 place that it couldn't manage last year. The Promise is the girls' second biggest hit but is "only" 9th on this countdown, still respectable and it's not the lowest Out of Control single this year.
Two GA classics. Add 'Sound of the Underground' and that's probably their Top 3 most-known songs.
Adore both of those, especially love machine

7 401 No Good Advice - 8-7-
8 390 Something Kinda Ooooh - 12-8-
Something Kinda Ooooh finally manages a top 10 position after missing out last year, which was a huge injustice I think! The track manages a top 3 peak in the chart for the girls, their first since I'll Stand By You at the time, and charted top 5 the week before based on downloads alone. Climbing one place to #7 is No Good Advice, the second single released by the group and their first following their Popstars: The Rivals win, claiming the Christmas #1 with Sound of the Underground.
How scandalous that 'SKO' wasn't Top 10 last time!
'Something Kinda Ooh' is deservedly one of their best sellers; huge hook and just Xenomania at their best.
'No Good Advice' is great, always thought Nadine stole the show and love the verses more so than the chorus. Probably not in my Top 10 though.
It's 7 places too low!!

5 423 Sexy! No No No… - 5-5-
6 407 Call the Shots - 1-6-
Apologies for the wait for this next section, guys!
Tangled Up might be the fan-favourite album but the highest one of its tracks has made is #5. Last year's #1, Call the Shots, takes a five place drop to #6 this year surprisingly! It falls behind Sexy! No No No... which remains at #5 for a second year running.
Outrageous.
What is left to come?
Biology, Sound of the Underground, The Show and Untouchable
OMG slay 'The Show' *.*

1. Sound Of The Underground

There was a hint at an unexpected winner, and out of the remaining 4, only Untouchable's triumph would surprise me.

3 449 The Show - 3-3-
4 445 Sound of the Underground - 6-4-
Very close together now, we have two lead singles from the girls. Sound of the Underground remains their biggest hit in the charts and spent four weeks at #1 in 2002/2003, selling over 600k copies and being their only platinum-certified hit. It climbs two places to #4 this year, but fails to unseat The Show from its #3 position. The Show reached #2 in the charts as the first single from What Will the Neighbours Say? and often seems to get overlooked in favour of some of their bigger hits but it manages a very respectable position of #3 for a second year running!
BIOLOGY vs. UNTOUCHABLE
Here for an 'Untouchable' win
HERE FOR BIOLOGY

1 513 Untouchable - 7-1-
2 472 Biology - 2-2-
So we have our winner! Biology is always the bridesmaid, never the bride as it settles at #2 for another year running, not even close to overtaking Untouchable. I must admit, when I saw that Untouchable had won I was totally shocked, it's a brilliant track but not one I thought would win! Nevertheless, it climbs six places to top the buzzchart this year.
Thanks to everyone who participated and I'm glad we FINALLY got these results done

'Singapore' is stunning. I always thought of it as the perfect follow up to 'Left My Heart In Tokyo' with 'Memory of You' serving as an epilogue.
Xenomania at their best.
