April 1, 201114 yr How do people like the idea of 90s Number Twos Rate next, and after, 00s Number Twos. Running them both at the same time won't be good I don't think, but one after the other is a good idea. The guy who said 80s is too retro kinda has a point. I think this should be the final decision and the 90s number twos rate will start soon, tomorrow if I feel like it, or I might leave it a day. And I love 'Love Shack' and 'Justified and Ancient' (if that's the song I'm thinking of) - both great songs. Hopefully Robert Miles will be this rate's ATB and get a surprisingly high mark Except it wouldn't be surprising because Children is a true classic and it would be a disaster if it failed to go top 20 at the absolute minimum.
April 1, 201114 yr Great results overall, great job presenting it too Daniel! I love Don't Look Back In Anger, my second favourite Oasis song after Live Forever :D The Verve song, whilst not a favourite, is obviously a classic - Vogue is iconic but not a favourite of mine. And to say that she got through (ridiculously imo) only on a wildcard, I'm very happy that Cher managed 4th place :wub:
April 1, 201114 yr Author "Children" is my favourite 90s song. It's amazing how a great instrumental can do so well in the charts back then, the song is so good it doesn't need words. Songs can never do that anymore. It is criminal that Take That stopped it with their boring cover, of course Oasis stopped it too but they are forgiven as they have a classic song

April 1, 201114 yr Author yes, this sounds great :D Robert Miles should be top 10, its very well known, I hope Dario G pull off a surprise, beautiful song :( I love "Sunchyme" too, was definitely robbed of a number one. I gave Elton John minus points for holding off this song, and I gave Take That HDIYL minus points for holding off "Children". "Better Off Alone" is another great dance song that should have been a number one, it got held off by 3 different songs, all front-loaded too :cry:
April 1, 201114 yr Wow, Oasis won it! :o Didn't expect that, truly deserved winner though. One of the absolute best :wub: 80s No.1s next please :D
April 1, 201114 yr Author Wow, Oasis won it! :o Didn't expect that, truly deserved winner though. One of the absolute best :wub: 80s No.1s next please :D It's already been decided. It's 1st Ultimate 90s Number Twos Rate - you'll like this, it's got "Bittersweet Symphony" and "Wonderwall" 2nd Ultimate 00s Number Twos Rate - this will be more BJ friendly but still exciting. Am hoping for a Rihanna win Edited April 1, 201114 yr by danielGaGa
April 1, 201114 yr Three of my all time top ten favourite songs were 90s #2's, I'm hopeful that Set You Free and Better Off Alone will be recognised in the same way that 9PM (Till I Come) was, I'm less certain that Runaway will do the business though...there are 3 songs that I'm already certain will be top ten. As for 00's #2's, there's only one contender for my affections, a certain Rule The World...
April 1, 201114 yr "Children" is my favourite 90s song. It's amazing how a great instrumental can do so well in the charts back then, the song is so good it doesn't need words. Songs can never do that anymore. It is criminal that Take That stopped it with their boring cover, of course Oasis stopped it too but they are forgiven as they have a classic song It seems instrumentals can't be hits any more :( The last really big instrumental hit was Pjanoo, we've had Poppiholla which was fairly big since then... I'm not forgetting any am I?
April 1, 201114 yr Disappointed with the results in general, dont like Oasis, Verve or Vogue. Some amazing classics near the bottom, Mr Vain, Sleeping Satellite, You're Not Alone, All That She Wants...
April 1, 201114 yr Never liked Don't Look Back in Anger. Always loved The Drugs Don't Work. Wrong song won. A very un-Buzzjack chart. 90s best number 2 = A Design for Life 80s best number 1 = It's A Sin
April 1, 201114 yr Never liked Don't Look Back in Anger. Always loved The Drugs Don't Work. Wrong song won. A very un-Buzzjack chart. 90s best number 2 = A Design for Life 80s best number 1 = It's A Sin Both great songs :heart:
April 1, 201114 yr Oh and we've neglected mentioning Common People so far... best and most iconic #2 of the decade for sure.
April 2, 201114 yr Author I love 'Common People', would like it to come 2nd behind 'Children', but its more likely to come 4th after 'Wonderwall' , 'Bittersweet Symphony' and 'Torn'
