March 24, 201114 yr Such a bizarre year for #1 hits - a real combination of absolute gems and absolute dross!!! <_< For me, all the tracks I'm giving + points to were all worthy #1 singles in 1999 (technically 1998 for Chef :P ). +15 Britney Spears - Baby One More Time :wub: +12 Lou Bega - Mambo No 5 (A Little Bit Of) +10 Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee) +8 ATB - 9PM (Till I Come) +6 The Offspring - Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) +5 Backstreet Boys - I Want It That Way +4 Five - Keep On Movin +3 Christina Aguleria - Genie In A Bottle +2 Chef - Chocolate Salty Balls +1 Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away -2 Boyzone - You Needed Me (the cure to insomnia right here :zzz: ) In fact, I counted 9 songs that could've got my -2 points it was that bad, yet that good (see my + points). Seriously inconsistant year for quality #1 hits. :(
March 24, 201114 yr Author Results Update: Fighting for the top spot is Britney Spears and ATB. Other songs looking likely to qualify come from Christina Aguleria, Blondie & The Offspring and of course a few others. Steps isn't doing as well as I expected, currently 14th with "Hearbeat/Tragedy". Four songs are on minus points, those are Boyzone "You Needed Me", Cliff Richard "The Millennium Prayer", 911 "A Little Bit More" and current loser Westlife "I Have A Dream/Seasons In The Sun". Keep voting till' Saturday morning when the wildcard stages are on! And TMP would be on minus 20 points if it weren't for a +15 boost. I think Cliff has made the worst song ever here Edited March 24, 201114 yr by danielGaGa

March 24, 201114 yr For a year with so many number ones, it shouldn't have been this difficult to find a handful that I actually LIKE.

March 24, 201114 yr Surprised that Blondie are in with a chance of qualifying. I thought they'd be lost among the other 35 #1s. Pleased though - such a great comeback. +4 The Offspring ‘Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) - Pretty much the best thing about 1999 was the ability for songs from any genre to go to #1 (within reason) - come on, this, Lenny Kravitz, Blondie, Armand Van Helden, Mr Oizo, Britney and Boyzone all within the space of a few weeks - amazing! I'd kill for even 50% of that sort of variety these days I guess the start of the year was good for variety of #1s, but by the end it had descended into generic Westlife/eurodance/Geri Halliwell/other British pop tosh :( What happened, British public? Plus, there was no urban #1. That could have been corrected easily if No Scrubs got to #1 like it deserved though :angry: I think 1995 was very varied. I thought that when I put together the list for that round when I was running it - it had Swedish cheese, ballads, charity singles, dance-rap, boybands, rock/indie, dance, granny pop, cod-reggae, dance-pop, hip hop :lol: +15 Cliff Richard - Millennium Prayer(going against popular opinion, but I did like this, only he could get this to No.1) I'm not sure what to say to this! :D 15 - ATB ‘9PM (Till I Come)’ 12 - Westlife ‘Flying Without Wings’ 10 - Robbie Williams ‘It’s Only Us’ -- Vote purely for Its Only Us, I cant stand Shes The One 08 - Mr Oizo ‘Flat Beat’ 06 - Geri Halliwell ‘Mi Chico Latino’ 05 - Christina Aguleria ‘Genie In A Bottle’ 04 - Ricky Martin ‘Livin’ La Vida Loca’ 03 - S Club 7 ‘Bring It All Back’ 02 - Armand van Helden ‘U Don’t Know Me’ 01 - Blondie ‘Maria’ Why have your votes been edited by Euphorique? :unsure: Edited March 24, 201114 yr by superbossanova

P.S. sorry to Christina and her Genie! It was a tough choice between her and Geri!
