April 25, 201114 yr Author I can't even remember how Uh Huh Her goes and I gave it a 10! I was just ecstatic as we didn't get a cheap winner out of the hordes of opportunistic entries off the back of Alesha Dixon doing so well the month before. I'd have preferred Velvet - Take My Body Close to get the win...
April 25, 201114 yr I can remember how Uh Huh Her goes! I still love it :wub: And people think I don't actually like the Rontvian tracks i give 12's to :rolleyes:

I'd have preferred Velvet - Take My Body Close to get the win... :lol: I do obviously remember how it goes but out of the non-cheap songs that people could have flocked to, I was surprised it was that - I recall predicting it to finish 21st, and you know I'm not one for fake modesty, I genuinely expected it to do nothing. But indeed, that top ten was DREADFUL. It was really disappointing that although there were quite a few great and inspired entries (We Keep On Rockin', Emenne-Moi, Method Of Modern Love and Amarula Tree spring to mind) everyone was far too busy voting for was it eight(?) about to smash songs that reached the top 15 in that contest. But any of my runners up - M.A.G.I.C., Music Everywhere, and Broken Machine I'd have preferred as winners to Not A Love Song. It was just in the right place at the right time - in any other contest it would have struggled to go top five :lol:
April 25, 201114 yr Author Love Story may GENUINELY be the worst entry we've ever had - not musically, but in terms of timing it's close. Definitely up there with Maneater.
April 25, 201114 yr Love Story may GENUINELY be the worst entry we've ever had - not musically, but in terms of timing it's close. Definitely up there with Maneater. Riverside has to come close too. Luckily I DNQ'd. It restored part of my faith in BJSC
April 25, 201114 yr That wasn't sent the week it was #1 in the midweeks though!*#2 :drink: Kelly Clarkson beat her, OH YEAHHHHHHHH! :wub: (In the midweeks I believe she was trailing behind KC all week)
April 25, 201114 yr Riverside has to come close too. Luckily I DNQ'd. It restored part of my faith in BJSC It was a male electro dance track which wasn't *that* popular on BJ. Try the same trick now with On The Floor and see if it DNQ's - I guarantee that it wouldn't. Again, thank god for the mod veto!
April 25, 201114 yr It was #1 in the mids wasn't it? I believe so. Kelly pulled ahead by the end. It was impossible for me to pick sides in that battle because musically I far prefer Love Story, and still do, but Kelly is superior in every other way, and it was about time she had a UK #1.
April 25, 201114 yr It was #1 in the mids wasn't it?I don't think it was. Actually, come to think of it, it probably was...

It was impossible for me to pick sides in that battle because musically I far prefer Love Story, and still do, but Kelly is superior in every other way, and it was about time she had a UK #1. I'd choose 'My Life Would Suck Without You' over 'Love Story' every time. 'LS' is just too dreadry and whilst 'MLWSWY' was 'Since U Been Gone Pt II', it was still the better song. I'm sure Kelly Clarkson was #1 throughout the week.
April 25, 201114 yr Author I LOVE Love Story (although I far prefer the twangy country original to the pop remix) but there was no way it was ever getting my votes.
April 25, 201114 yr After a bit of research (it was doing my head in haha!) Kelly C was ahead all week. :D I think it was close (sales wise) that week though... But anyway, it doesn't matter. It still means the same thing haha!

I'm sure Kelly Clarkson was #1 throughout the week. I adored Love Story, I found MLWSWY very generic and Kelly on autopilot, but obviously Kelly on autopilot is still amazing! Ah, I know where I'm getting mixed up now - it's because Love Story stayed at #2 the following week whilst Kelly fell below and ended up higher in the EOY chart, for some reason in my mind I've interpreted 'should have got to #1' as 'was a midweek #1' :lol: Well really, one of them should have been released the week before so that they could have both been #1's but there we go... I LOVE Love Story (although I far prefer the twangy country original to the pop remix) but there was no way it was ever getting my votes. Agreed, I can't listen to the UK mix, really bland in comparison :( I don't know what version Simon sent to the contest as frankly I didn't ever click on the link to the video. That contest only took me an hour to vote in really, I already knew most of the entries well enough from watching the music channels in the weeks beforehand :D

April 25, 201114 yr I've been looking back through some of the previous entries and some of them are remarkably famous... The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony is the one that springs immediately to mind as being the worst offender, in what way was that ever going to be a new discovery for anyone!
April 25, 201114 yr This chart suggests otherwise. :P UK Chart but you're quite right in that Taylor Swift stuck around higher up the chart than Kelly Clarkson did. Oh dear, I'm getting the week she stuck at #5 mixed up, and thinking that she stayed at #2 :/ I really should research these things before posting!
