We're halfway through the decade now so it's time for 1995. 2 acts appear twice on this list, one of which with 2 double A-sides so plenty to sieve through...

Vote for your least fave!

Wow this is... not a good list of songs at all, not sure what people were on this year.

Both of the Robson/Jerome travesties need to go but I Believe is the slightly worse of the two so that gets my vote.

I don't hate the R&J songs quite as much as the others do but they have to go first from this bunch.. 'I Believe' is possibly even worse than Melody is.

Oh my goodness the contrast between the best and the worst on this list! Gone for Unchained Melody / Bluebirds.

For such a fantastic year in music, this list is really not at all representative of that.

I'm gonna go for the 'Unchained Melody' one of the prototype Westlife.

Simply Red - Fairground

The only bad song here for me. I actually really like the Robson and Jerome songs especially I believe. Good memories attached to it.

Fairground - the Goodmen sample can't disguise how redundant a song this is.

I love all of them, most topped my charts or came close, except for 3.

Unchained Melody was a travesty of the genius that was Righteous Brothers, a pointless cover and White Cliffs was bad so that gets my vote. Up On The Roof is a brilliant Carole King (& Gerry Goffin) song and even they couldn't make it sound awful, though they gave it a good old go. So that doesn't get my vote.

Voted for 'I Believe', both of these are pointless watered down covers but I at least prefer 'Unchained Melody' as a song

Pretty dreadful list, though there are at least some genuine classics that hopefully should last long x

Obvs both Robson & Jerome travesties need to clear off before we can get down to business, going for Unchained Melody as it really is quite insulting next to the Righteous Brothers' powerful version.

Decent list apart from the two R&J songs went for ‘I Believe’ first because UM is a classic song at least!

Unchained Melody is definitely the more offensive of the two R&J singles for me (ignoring the reverse sides of both the Double As which I haven't bothered to listen to)
