Chez,your scores didn't change which songs qualified so I will be able to include your vote.

Posted by: King Rollo 18th March 2019, 05:43 PM

Results

51. Elvis Presley - She's Not You 3 pts

Writers - Jerry Lieber,Mike Stoller,Doc Pomus
Top points - M477h3w 3

This is another of Common Sense's first round favourites but once again he didn't vote in the semi-final so it only scores 3 points. The previous lowest score in a semi was 25 points. It's not one of Elvis' more well known songs. From 1962 and featuring The Jordanaires on backing vocals,it was his twelfth no.1 and also the first no.1 on the new Irish chart. The single reached no.3 when it was re-released in 2005.

Posted by: King Rollo 18th March 2019, 06:05 PM

50. Wizzard - See My Baby Jive 26 pts

Writer - Roy Wood
Top points - King Rollo 22,AH Gold 4

The first of two no.1 singles for the group Roy Wood formed after leaving ELO. He had another no.1 before that in 1969 as part of The Move with 'Blackberry Way'. Wizzard are now best known for 'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday' but this is the better song in my opinion. Its sound was influenced by Phil Spector's 'wall of sound' production. It was no.1 for four weeks in 1973.

Posted by: Bré 18th March 2019, 06:35 PM

I always forget that Wizzard had other hits besides the Christmas one.

Posted by: King Rollo 18th March 2019, 06:36 PM

49. Cilla Black - Anyone Who Had A Heart 35 pts

Writers - Burt Bacharach,Hal David
Top points - AH Gold 16,miichaelking21 9,Liam 8

From 1964,this is the best selling single by a female singer in the 1960s. The original version was a hit for Dionne Warwick in the US and this cover was intended for Shirley Bassey but George Martin gave it to Cilla instead.

Posted by: King Rollo 18th March 2019, 06:59 PM

48. Art Garfunkel - Bright Eyes 44 pts

Writer - Mike Batt
Top points - Chez Wombat 24,King Rollo 20

This is one of the most beautiful songs to get to no.1 and should really have received more than two votes. It was the best selling single of 1979 and spent six weeks at the top of the chart. Mike Batt is best known for writing and singing several hits by The Wombles,he also wrote 'A Winter's Tale' for David Essex. This was the second of two solo no.1s for Art Garfunkel. He had no other top 30 singles.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 18th March 2019, 07:08 PM

Thank you!

I'm glad I at least gave Bright Eyes a boost but what a DISGRACE at that position, one of the saddest, beautiful songs ever

Posted by: King Rollo 18th March 2019, 07:21 PM

47. Katy Perry - Part Of Me 51 pts

Writers - Katy Perry,Lukasz Gottwald,Max Martin,Bonnie McKee
Top points - Jason 12,Wall 11,Alex! 9

From 2012,this spent one week at no.1 and was the third of Katy Perry's five chart toppers.

Posted by: King Rollo 19th March 2019, 06:15 PM

46. Cheryl Cole - Promise This 88 pts

Writers - Priscilla Hamilton,Wayne Wilkins,Christopher Jackson
Top points - Wall 15,miichaelking21 15,Alex! 13,ready for it 13

Cheryl's second solo no.1,with some of its lyrics sung in French.

Posted by: King Rollo 19th March 2019, 06:42 PM

45. Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me 92pts

Writers - Roy Hay,Boy George,Mikey Craig,Jon Moss
Top points - AH Gold 25,Jester 16,Chapman 13,marcinjaro 13

Boy George created quite a media stir when he first performed this song on Top Of The Pops. It wasn't the group's first single,their first two failed to reach the top 75 and this was their last chance to get an album deal. It's a mixture of several different musical styles and certainly much better than their other no.1 'Karma Chameleon'.

Posted by: King Rollo 19th March 2019, 07:07 PM

44. Abba - Waterloo 92pts

Writers - Benny Andersson,Bjorn Ulvaeus,Stig Anderson
Top points - Nimbus 23,miichaelking21 19,Liam 15

Still one of the best songs to come out of Eurovision,its sound was partly inspired by of the songs it finishes above here,'See My Baby Jive' by Wizzard. It wins a tie-break over 'Do You Really Want To Hurt Me' by 11 votes to 9.

Posted by: King Rollo 19th March 2019, 07:52 PM

43. Aretha Franklin & George Michael - I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) 98pts

Writers - Simon Climie,Dennis Morgan
Top points - AaronTM 21,marcinjaro 21,Chapman 15

Aretha's only no.1 single,her previous chart peak was no.4 with 'I Say A Little Prayer' in 1968. It's a rare example of a George Michael song that he wasn't involved in writing.

Posted by: King Rollo 19th March 2019, 08:10 PM

42. The Beatles - Ticket To Ride 102pts

Writers - John Lennon,Paul McCartney
Top points - Jade 22,ready for it 17,Uls2000 16

From 1965,the seventh in a long run of consecutive number 1 singles for The Beatles.

Posted by: King Rollo 20th March 2019, 06:50 PM

41. Miley Cyrus - We Can't Stop 112pts

Writers - Mike L Williams II,Pierre Ramon Slaughter,Timothy Thomas,Theron Thomas,Miley Cyrus,Douglas Davis,Ricky Walters
Top points - Wall 24,Alex! 23,Jason 21

The first of two no.1s in the space of two months for Miley Cyrus in 2013. Only eight people voted for it but some of them gave it high scores.

Posted by: King Rollo 20th March 2019, 07:12 PM

40. One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful 112pts

Writers - Savan Kotecha,Rami Yacoub,Carl Falk
Top points - Jason 25,ready for it 21,M477h3w 20

One Direction's debut single,released nine months after they finished third on the X Factor. It wins a tie-break over 'We Can't Stop' by 11 votes to 8.

Posted by: Jason 20th March 2019, 07:34 PM

Shame on you Buzzjack.
2 great songs in a row.

39. Nizlopi - JCB 123pts

Writers - Luke Concannon,John Parker
Top points - Wall 23,JackJones 21,dobbo 20

I wasn't expecting this to be from 2005,I thought it would be more recent than that. It reached no.1 a week before Christmas and was denied the Christmas no.1 by Shayne Ward's 'That's My Goal'. Nizlopi were a duo named after a Hungarian girl one of them had a crush on at school. They have since split up,reformed and split up again.

Posted by: King Rollo 20th March 2019, 08:02 PM

38. Ariana Grande - Thank U,Next 123pts

Writers - Ariana Grande,Victoria Monet,Tayla Parx,Njomza Vitia,Kimberly Krysiuk,Tommy Brown,Michael Foster,Charles Anderson
Top points - ready for it 18,Aaron TM 18,miichaelking21 16

Ariana may be very popular on Buzzjack but she only finishes 38th here. I think most of you prefer her earlier songs to her more recent no.1s. This is only the second time I have heard this song and the first time I have watched the video. 'Thank U,Next' wins a tie-break over the JCB song by 11 votes to 10.

Posted by: King Rollo 21st March 2019, 06:37 PM

37. Dizzee Rascal featuring Calvin Harris and Chrome - Dance Wiv Me 131pts

Writers - Calvin Harris,Dizzee Rascal,Nick Detnon,Tyrone Paul
Top points - RabbitFurCoat 18,coi 15,Dircadirca 14,Bre 14

From 2008,this was a first no.1 for both Dizzee Rascal and Calvin Harris. It spent four weeks at the top of the chart.

Posted by: King Rollo 21st March 2019, 06:53 PM

36. Ben E King - Stand By Me 144pts

Writers - Ben E King,Jerry Leiber,Mike Stoller
Top points - JackJones 25,dobbo 22,Dircadirca 20

This only got to number 27 in 1961 but reached number 1 26 years later after being featured in the film of the same name and also an advertisement for Levi Jeans.

Posted by: dobbo 21st March 2019, 07:16 PM

JCB Song is iconic!

Boo at Stand By Me not qualifying, a masterpiece

Posted by: King Rollo 21st March 2019, 07:17 PM

35. 10cc - I'm Not In Love 147pts

Writers - Eric Stewart,Graham Gouldman
Top points - King Rollo 25,Nimbus 25,Chez Wombat 19

A timeless classic and the second of three no.1 singles for 10cc. The multi-tracked backing vocals using a total of 144 different tape loops made the production of the song unlike anything that had been heard before.

Posted by: King Rollo 21st March 2019, 07:39 PM

34. The Spice Girls - Too Much 159pts

Writers - Victoria Adams,Mel B,Emma Bunton,Melanie C,Geri Halliwell,Andy Watkins,Paul Wilson
Top points - AaronTM 25,ready for it 23,Alex! 22

The Christmas no.1 from 1997. The Spice Girls became the first act to reach no.1 with their first six singles.

Posted by: Alex! 21st March 2019, 07:44 PM

Upset at Too Much and Miley not making it!

Always hated dance wiv me.

Posted by: King Rollo 22nd March 2019, 06:17 PM

33. Mel & Kim - Respectable 166pts

Writers - Mike Stock,Matt Aitken,Pete Waterman
Top points - Scene 25,Nimbus 24,AH Gold 23

The second Stock Aitken Waterman produced single to reach no.1 and there would be many more to follow over the next few years. Mel sadly died just three years later. Kim was recently seen driving around the country with Midge Ure for a three part series on 80s music for BBC4.

Posted by: King Rollo 22nd March 2019, 06:59 PM

32. Celine Dion - Think Twice 170pts

Writers - Andy Hill,Peter Sinfield
Top points - coi 24,vibe 20,Nimbus 20

This spent seven weeks at no.1 in 1995. It actually entered the chart in October 1994. If you've been keeping an eye on the writing credits,you might have noticed that this is written by the same duo who wrote 'The Land Of Make Believe' for Bucks Fizz.

Posted by: King Rollo 22nd March 2019, 07:16 PM

31. Mr Probz - Waves (Robin Schulz Remix) 173pts

Writer - Dennis Princewell Stehr
Top points - danG 25,Jason 24,coi 23

From 2014,a remix of the Mr Probz song from the year before. The follow-up single 'Nothing Really Matters' only got to number 72 and subsequent releases have failed to chart.

Posted by: coi 22nd March 2019, 07:17 PM

Gutted about those two going out!

Posted by: Jason 22nd March 2019, 07:26 PM

The last 5 voters put Mr Probz out of the top 25. I'm pretty sure it was top 25 before Michaelking21 vote.

Posted by: dobbo 22nd March 2019, 07:29 PM

I really hated Waves at the time. Now, I do like it as a nostalgic sort of track but there are so many better alternatives in the genre. Also, Nothing Really Matters is an INCREDIBLE ballad, gutted that didn't get even a modicum of Waves' success.

Posted by: King Rollo 22nd March 2019, 07:34 PM

Yes,Waves was qualifying quite comfortably until the last few votes came in on Sunday.

Posted by: Jason 22nd March 2019, 07:39 PM

The 'wrong' votes always come in the last day. Just close the next round on Saturday please haha.

Posted by: King Rollo 22nd March 2019, 07:45 PM

30. The Saturdays featuring Sean Paul - What About Us 177pts

Writers - Camille Purcell,Ollie Jacobs,Philip Jacobs
Top points - Wall 25,M477h3w 25,miichaelking21 25

A hat-trick of maximum scores is still not enough for this to qualify. It was the Saturdays' 14th single and only number 1.

Posted by: Jason 22nd March 2019, 07:56 PM

It is funny to remember how popular The Saturdays were here 10 years ago and now they can't be top 25 in this number ones popularity thing. Oh dear!

Posted by: dobbo 22nd March 2019, 08:12 PM

All their fans vanished after What Are You Waiting For flopped.

Posted by: Bré 23rd March 2019, 07:30 AM

'Waves' and 'What About Us' both only just missed out on my votes iirc, this was a much stronger set than the previous round.

Posted by: vibe 23rd March 2019, 10:02 AM

29. The Police - Every Breath You Take 182pts

Writer - Sting
Top points - Uls2000 23,marcinjaro 17,Bjork 16

From 1983,this spent four weeks at no.1 in the UK and eight weeks in the US where it also won two Grammys. In a 2015 ITV poll,it was voted by the viewers to be their favourite 80s no.1.

Posted by: King Rollo 23rd March 2019, 07:32 PM

28. Dexys Midnight Runners & The Emerald Express - Come On Eileen 184pts

Writers - Kevin Rowland,Jim Paterson,Billy Adams
Top points - Chez Wombat 22,Dircadirca 19,dobbo 19

The second of Dexys' two no.1 singles. This was a big change in sound and image from 'Geno' in 1980.

Posted by: King Rollo 23rd March 2019, 07:48 PM

27. Coldplay - Paradise 185pts

Writers - Guy Berryman,Jonny Buckland,Will Champion,Chris Martin
Top points - Jester 25,Chez Wombat 21,Wall 20

A single which took almost four months from its release to reach no.1. It was written after the producers of the X Factor asked Chris Martin to write the winner's song but Coldplay ended up keeping it for themselves.

Posted by: King Rollo 23rd March 2019, 08:11 PM

26. La Roux - Bulletproof 196pts

Writers - Elly Jackson,Ben Langmaid
Top points - Chez Wombat 23,Nimbus 21,dobbo 16,Jason 16,danG 16

This finishes 9 points behind the 25th placed song,Don't Stop Movin' by S Club 7. La Roux were a duo when this got to no.1 in 2009. Elly Jackson is now on her own but has kept the name. She is the daughter of Trudie Goodwin who played the role of June Ackland in The Bill for a long time.

Posted by: Scene 24th March 2019, 09:27 PM

Loving how predominant the old hits are in that qualifying list.

Also never knew Paradise was intended to be Matt Cardle's (or Little Mix's?) winner's single.
