February 4, 201015 yr Do you know what I'm genuinely stumped for who's left to come. 2 Sugababes, 2 Gaga, Kylie, Robyn, Leona, Nelly Furtado, Britney "Toxic", All Saints...beyond that it's a blank. There can't be any male acts I'm sure? I think there are a few male acts still to come...won't ruin the suspense by revealing who, but highlight below if you want to see... All Saints - Pure Shores Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor Beyonce - Crazy In Love Britney Spears - Toxic Coldplay - Viva La Vida Gorillaz - DARE Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head Lady Gaga - Bad Romance Lady Gaga - Poker Face Leona Lewis - Run Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love Lily Allen - The Fear Nelly Furtado - Maneater Pink - Just Like A Pill Rihanna ft Jay-Z - Umbrella Robyn ft Kleerup - With Every Heartbeat Sugababes - About You Now Sugababes - Hole In The Head Tatu - All The Things She Said

Well done BJ! There aren't any ones there I could really quibble - even the Arctics who I personally dislike, but can appreciate they're not the usual BJ pop trash.
February 4, 201015 yr Eminem much higher than I thought, well done Em :D Leona or something like that will be no.1, I BET!!! Or maybe Robyn and Kleerup. That is loved around here.
February 4, 201015 yr I predict: 1. Britney Spears - Toxic 2. Rihanna - Umbrella 3. Sugababes - About You Now 4. Robyn - With Every Heartbeat 5. Lady Gaga - Poker Face Not the worst top 5 if this happens to be the case.
February 4, 201015 yr Surprised Lily Allen has done so well but deserved I suppose considering she usually releases $h!t. Only one I can't stand is 'Dare' though. The Gorillaz have had far better material imo. I'm thinking Robyn or 'Toxic' will win tbh though I'd like it to be 'Poker Face' ^_^
February 4, 201015 yr Author Did you ban a lot of the usual pop loons from voting Mark? :heehee: Nah I just didn't count their votes. :P
February 4, 201015 yr Author I predict: 1. Britney Spears - Toxic 2. Rihanna - Umbrella 3. Sugababes - About You Now 4. Robyn - With Every Heartbeat 5. Lady Gaga - Poker Face Not the worst top 5 if this happens to be the case. In about half an hour I shall count down 20-11. I can reveal that at least one of these will be posted tonight....
February 4, 201015 yr Author Nah I just didn't count their votes. :P This was a joke obviously, before some loon says anything.
February 4, 201015 yr It was posted earlier that three artists had 2 tracks in the top 20. I rounded it down to Lady GaGa, Sugababes and...Britney Spears (...doh!!! :drama: ). I thought 'Born To Make You Happy' had managed top 20 for some reason.
February 4, 201015 yr Author Meanwhile, here are 40-21! 40 Lady GaGa 'Just Dance' - 508 39 Melanie C ft Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes 'Never Be The Same Again' - 520 38 Kelly Clarkson 'My Life Would Suck Without You' - 521 37 Eminem 'Lose Yourself' - 522 36 Scissor Sisters 'I Don't Feel Like Dancin' - 522 35 Fragma 'Toca's Miracle' - 525 34 Gnarls Barkley 'Crazy' - 531 33 Sugababes 'Round Round' - 534 32 Shakira ft Wyclef Jean 'Hips Don't Lie' - 539 31 Black Eyed Peas 'I Gotta Feeling' - 547 30 Will Young 'Leave Right Now' - 560 29 Girls Aloud 'Sound Of The Underground' - 563 28 Sugababes 'Push The Button' - 569 27 Madonna 'Hung Up' - 580 26 Spiller 'Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)' - 594 25 Eminem 'Stan' - 598 24 Take That 'Patience' - 598 23 Evanescence 'Bring Me To Life' - 601 22 Christina Aguilera 'Beautiful' - 610 21 Sugababes 'Freak Like Me' - 619
February 4, 201015 yr Author 20 Gorillaz 'DARE' - 626 points (23 voters, 13th in Heat 2) HUhWq8u-B9s UK Chart Run: {1}-2-3-8-11-15-18-16-20-21-22-28-33-29-45-47-50-42-47-55-57-65-68R(2)-58-61-69-62R(5)->27 I'm surprised this managed to finish in the top 20, especially after its relatively average performance in the heats. It managed to keep most of its big points though, and finishes the lowest of four songs in the top 20 by a predominantly male act, although it is Rosie Thomas AKA Noodle that has a lot of the vocals on it...
February 4, 201015 yr Author 19 All Saints 'Pure Shores' - 639 points (27 voters, 8th in Heat 2) C_vEJpgRhZQ UK Chart Run: {1}-1-2-3-7-9-12-18-26-32-40-41-50-66-74-69->16 This is the oldest song in the final. It was released at the beginning of 2000 on the soundtrack to 'The Beach' and is far more fondly remembered than I imagine it would be.
February 4, 201015 yr Author 18 Sugababes 'Hole In The Head' - 640 points (26 voters, 9th in Heat 3) Lf0tUnUB27I UK Chart Run: {1}-5-6-8-19-25-39-42-58-70-72-69-69->13 The first single from their third album, this became another number one for the girls and proved they'd be round for some time yet.
February 4, 201015 yr Pure Shores still gets a hell of a lot of airplay even now, same with Never Be The Same Again actually...I can definitely see why they both made the top 40 was never a huge fan of Hole In The Head...
February 4, 201015 yr 'Dare' is absolutely vile imo. Can't stand the vocals, it's so ridiculously annoying. :( Love both 'Pure Shores' and 'Hole In The Head'. Surprised All Saints came so high actually!
February 4, 201015 yr Author 17 Arctic Monkeys 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' - 640 points (28 voters, 7th in Heat 3) c7dt1li5SyY UK Chart Run: {1}-2-2-5-9-8-13-14-17-25-17-15-16-23-22-33-43-42-46-51-50-61-68-68-75R(5)->25 They came out of nowhere to top the UK Charts. The week it was released the chart debate was whether McFly could knock Sugababes off the top spot. A few people (myself included) were ridiculed for suggesthing there would be a third contender, how could a band hardly anyone had heard of and wasn't all over music channels and commercial radio be a contender for UK number one?! But after over a year of constant touring they'd built up a hell of a fanbase, helped by huge word of mouth success and the internet (the first band to come out of the 'Myspace Generation'). The midweeks came in and this had a 20% lead over anything else, and unlike most indie acts it didn't trail off but kept increasing and held out all week. The hype became fairly ridiculous and they became incredibly huge, but unlike most acts just did what they wanted to do, the joys of remaining indepandant. It's without doubt their catchiest and most accessible song, but their best? I'd say far from it.
February 4, 201015 yr Author 16 Pink 'Just Like A Pill' - 690 points (34 voters, 4th in Heat 3) iinu0t4eW2Q UK Chart Run: {1}-4-5-6-11-8-15-22-30-42-65->11 A reinvented Pink had become growingly popular in 2002, but it was her third single from her album that gave her her first solo number one single. I'm shocked at how the difference in performance of her two tracks were, this comfortably top 20, 'So What' no where near qualifying.
February 4, 201015 yr Decent results so far - made up that Pure Shores and DARE have done so well in the top 20 so far.
