What will happen is there will be 10 rounds, the first being 1990, then 1991 etc. up to round 10 which will be 1999. The top 4 from each round will go straight to the final, and 5th to 7th placed will go in a "wildcard" round. The top ten songs from the "wildcard" round will be put into the final round to make a top 50 of the decade. After the final the next rate will be 00s number 2s How you rate the songs; exactly the same as last time, you do not rate every song that hit number two, you just rate your ten favourites and your least favourite. You give +15 points to your favourite song, and the rest are as follows; This is to hopefully stop ties from happening inside the top 3. +15 Favourite Song +12 2nd Favourite Song +10 3rd Favourite Song +08 4th Favourite +06 5th Favourite +05 6th Favourite +04 7th Favourite +03 8th Favourite +02 9th Favourite +01 10th Favourite -02 Least Favourite, or Most Hated depending on what way you look at it These are the songs you need to rate from. You have 2 days for every round to rate. This means the deadline is Friday morning and hopefully the wildcard round will be up by then. Ultimate 90s Number Twos Rate 1999 1.

April 20, 201114 yr Author What will be planning to do next on the 'Ulitmate' series? 00s Number Twos, but if anyone has other ideas on the next Ultimate series you can say on this thread :D Except I won't be doing 00s Number Ones because that's been done before, and 90s number 3s or any lower number will just get boring Edited April 20, 201114 yr by danielGaGa
April 20, 201114 yr Surprised Pras Michel and to a lesser extent Steps and George Michael couldn't go any further! Good qualifiers (except I don't like Stardust much), very pleased Sash! made it through with his finest moment :D Ray of Light and The Boy is Mine are obviously classics! +15 DJ Jurgen pts. Alice Deejay – Better Off Alone - One of my top ten songs of all time, absolutely sensational, I so wanted this to be a #1 but stupid Westlife kept it off by less than 500 copies :/ +12 The Corrs – Runaway - One of my top ten songs of all time, absolutely sensational, I so wanted this to be a #1 but stupid Corrs thought that it would be wise to release on the same week as Baby One More Time :/ +10 Ann Lee – 2 Times +8 DJ Jean – The Launch +6 Steps – Love’s Got a Hold On My Heart +5 Madonna – Beautiful Stranger +4 S Club 7 – S Club Party +3 Steps – Better Best Forgotten +2 Artful Dodger feat. Craig David – Re-Rewind +1 Fatboy Slim – Right Here Right Now - difficult to decide on the last point between my two hometown (Brighton) originating dance #2's but I went for this over Phats & Small, both are classics though -2 Geri Halliwell – Look At Me I found this incredibly tacky and crap personally, her #1's that followed were better, even if Mi Chico Latino was the third different song in a row to narrowly deny Better Off Alone the #1! Witch Doctor is of course terrible too, but I sometimes listen to that for tacky nostalgia :lol:

April 20, 201114 yr An INFINITELY better list than the the #1s of the same year. +15 The Corrs 'Runaway' (original not the bland remix) +12 DJ Jurgen & Alice Deejay 'Better Off Alone' +10 Madonna 'Beautiful Stranger' +08 Whitney Houston 'My Love Is Your Love' +06 Blur 'Tender' +05 Fatboy Slim 'Right Here Right Now' +04 Terrorvision 'Tequila' +03 Eminem 'My Name Is' +02 Five 'If Ya Getting Down' +01 Will Smith 'Will 2K' -02 Artful Dodger 'Re-Rewind'
April 20, 201114 yr Brandy and Monica beat Stardust :o I thought 3rd was the best it could have hoped for! Glad to see it qualify anyway, I know R&B isn't exactly loved here but it's a defining tune of the genre in the late 90s so it would have been a shame to see it not make it. Good qualifiers in general, too, though there's not much I hated there, so I would have been fine with almost any scenario. Now, 1999... worse than 1997+98 both on this list and in music in general! Some real horrors here, even though this was my first FULL year of chart-watching and indeed following music so it's still nostalgia heaven. I still love all 10 of my votes too. +15 Blur - Tender :wub: Perfection. +12 Geri Halliwell - Look At Me +10 Fatboy Slim - Right Here Right Now +8 Terrorvision - Tequila +6 Eminem - My Name Is +5 Madonna - Beautiful Stranger +4 R Kelly - If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time +3 DJ Jurgen presents Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone +2 Whitney Houston - My Love Is Your Love +1 Artful Dodger featuring Craig David - Re-Rewind -2 Ann Lee - 2 Times So f***ing irritating!! Had some tough competition for this -2 though. But this gets it for the fact I do not have a single FOND memory from this awful song, unlike some of the other dreck.

April 20, 201114 yr So, it's come to 1999 - deep breath, here goes... +15 Blur – Tender I was astounded by this when it was released, now I find it has lost its shine a bit +12 The Wiseguys – Ooh La La Always nice to have Wall of Sound Records in the top 10 +10 Fatboy Slim – Right Here Right Now Ditto for Skint Records, FBS on a less cheesy tip here and sounding better for it +8 Terrorvision – Tequila Their big hit, but a bit stupid +6 The Offspring – Why Don’t You Get A Job See Terrorvision: did we need another cover of Obladi Oblada? +5 S Club 7 – S Club Party The best thing they ever did, actually good in parts +4 Shaft – (Mucho Mambo) Sway Pretty awful, but I always really liked the first 20 seconds or so +3 The Cartoons – Witch Doctor Love the stupidity of the original and everything left is rubbish +2 Eminem – My Name Is Would never normally give points to Eminem, but there you go +1 Phats and Small – Turn Around Cheesy house, best of the rest -2 Will Smith – Will 2K HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO THE CLASH!
April 20, 201114 yr 00s Number Twos, but if anyone has other ideas on the next Ultimate series you can say on this thread :D Except I won't be doing 00s Number Ones because that's been done before, and 90s number 3s or any lower number will just get boring Would you go back to 80's number twos or ones?
April 20, 201114 yr 15 Blur – Tender Love it, still sends a shiver down the spine. Would have been a fairly big #1 as well 12 Eminem – My Name Is One of the best debut singles in years, never beaten in terms of humour although "Real Slim Shady" came close 10 The Offspring – Why Don’t You Get A Job? Not as good as "Pretty Fly" but still brilliant 08 The Corrs – Runaway 06 Fatboy Slim – Right Here Right Now 05 Will Smith feat.
