December 27, 200915 yr 21:00 GREATEST SONGS OF THE NOUGHTIES 90 MINS Monday 28 December, Channel 4, Countdown of the decade's best hits as voted for by viewers, critics and industry figures. Will it just be TV talent show winners and Beyonce, or will acts like Arctic Monkeys also chart? http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-gre...-guide/series-1 A countdown of the decade's best hits as voted for by viewers, critics and industry figures. Will it just be lots of TV talent show winners or will acts like Arctic Monkeys and The Killers chart? Channel 4 have conducted a survey with the leading critics and industry figures, and asked the public in a YouGov national poll to tell us what they think were the greatest songs of the last 10 years. With new ways to access our favourite tunes, it is near impossible to take the Sunday chart ratings as a true guide as to what people like. The Greatest Songs of the Noughties counts down from 20 to number one what our real favourite hits are. Evergreen by Will Young is the biggest selling single of the decade, but have you voted it as one of the tracks of the decade? It's a long time since we saw Bob the Builder's Can We Fix It? reach the top spot as the Christmas number one in 2000, but has our taste in music grown up and moved on from such novelty hits? At a time where our charts are dominated by TV talent show winners, will acts like The Killers or Arctic Monkeys even feature? Has Beyonce swept all before her? Where will Kylie come? And will we dare to admit that Beautiful is actually not that bad? The Greatest Songs of the Noughties features some of the biggest names in music, from Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody to Will Young to Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos, giving heir views on what they think was hot and not from the past decade. Has this been a golden age of entertainment or an era of cultural recession? The Greatest Songs of the Noughties reveals all. Narrated by James Corden.
December 27, 200915 yr My favourite mainstream songs of the decade - All the things She Said, Say it Right, More than a Woman, Never be the Same Again - wont be in it. I seriously doubt if any of the 20 songs connect with me on any level. The big indie hitters - Mr Brightside, Take Me Out, Sex on Fire, Seven Nation Army - have all lost their sparkle.
December 27, 200915 yr Chasing Cars is the top song oh dear. That is so depressing. :( It's just sad that it's so popular when so many great songs of the same type are over looked. Edited December 27, 200915 yr by tonyttt31
December 27, 200915 yr From the minute I heard it I thought it was dull. Formulaic, schmaltsy, bombastic. I knew I woudn't like it. I didn't think it would be a hit but then again my brain doesn't look for the same things as the general public looks for in music. I'd name better songs of the same type but I might give away which one it is.
December 27, 200915 yr Beyonce Crazy In Love surely has to be on there somewhere. If this countdown is filled with indie crap then I will prob turn off.
