What will happen is there will be 11 rounds, round 1 being 2000, then 2001 etc. up to round 10 which will be 2009. Round 11 will be 2010 and 2011 combined as there are not enough songs from 2011 to have its own round. The top 4 from each round will go straight to the final, and 5th to 7th placed will go in a "wildcard" round. But, to spice things up we will not go in order of the years. Now you know why this isn't round one (I haven't missed it out, but will go back to it later) The top ten songs from the "wildcard" round will be put into the final round to make a top 54 of the decade. You will vote from 54, but four unlucky songs will miss out on making the top 50 in the results thread. This will be the last rate of the ultimate 'series'. 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 next round will be up by then. Years done so far: 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 + 2011 Ultimate 00s Number Twos Rate 2005 – Round 6 1. Manic Street Preachers – Empty Souls 2.

June 10, 201114 yr Author +15 Rihanna "Pon de Replay" +12 Razorlight "Somewhere Else" +10 Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx "Gold Digger" +08 Gorillaz "Feel Good Inc." +06 Coldplay "Speed of Sound" This is good but I much prefer 'Fix You' +05 U2 "City of Blinding Lights" Starting to get average from here +04 Snoop Dogg feat Charlie Wilson & Justin Timberlake "Signs" +03 Robbie Williams "Tripping" +02 Charlotte Church "Crazy Chick" +01 Daniel Powter "Bad Day" -02 Westlife feat. Diana Ross "When You Tell Me That You Love Me" Lots of crap this year but this is my -2 because those artists are both awful.

June 10, 201114 yr Alright results, terrible for Martine - as if it's that bad! Just very forgotten :( Nice to see Samantha Mumba almost go straight through - mini surprise :o 2005 is surely the crappest year for #2's of all time? :lol: I'm very much not an Elvis fan, so all of his songs which I was brought up on by my dad who was a huge fan can swiftly be deleted. Not my cup of tea... +15 Daniel Powter – Bad Day - I'm happy to have 'bad musical taste' if it means this song topping the list, it's definitely my personal favourite here - one of my songs of the summer actually, along with my 12 pointer +12 Mariah Carey – We Belong Together +10 Charlotte Church – Crazy Chick - The last song left that I really like, goes massively downhill from here although the rest of my choices range from decent to alright +8 Kanye West feat Jamie Foxx – Gold Digger +6 Mario – Let Me Love You +5 Gorillaz – Feel Good Inc. +4 Snoop Dogg feat Charlie Wilson and Justin Timberlake – Signs +3 Coldplay – Speed of Sound +2 Rihanna – Pon de Replay +1 Robbie Williams – Tripping -2 Westlife feat Diana Ross – When You Tell Me That You Love Me Horrible cover version, You Raise Me Up which preceded it was far more bearable
June 10, 201114 yr 15 Gorillaz – Feel Good Inc. Undisputed classic 12 U2 – City of Blinding Lights Really underrated imo ^_^ 10 Coldplay – Speed of Sound 08 Oasis – Let There Be Love 06 Kanye West feat Jamie Foxx – Gold Digger 05 Razorlight – Somewhere Else 04 Snoop Dogg feat Charlie Wilson and Justin Timberlake – Signs 03 Daniel Powter – Bad Day 02 Robbie Williams – Tripping 01 Rihanna – Pon de Replay -2 Westlife feat Diana Ross – When You Tell Me That You Love Me

June 10, 201114 yr mainly, I'm very happy with those results, Daft Punk :wub: +15 Daniel Powter – Bad Day :wub: :wub: :wub: don't care if its 'MOR' or 'dull', a great song +12 Coldplay – Speed of Sound (if only this and Fix You's positions could've swapped round :( ) +10 Gorillaz – Feel Good Inc. (I preferred Dare, although this was brilliant too) +8 Snoop Dogg feat Charlie Wilson and Justin Timberlake – Signs +6 Charlotte Church – Crazy Chick +5 Robbie Williams – Tripping +4 Sean Paul – We Be Burnin’ +3 Kanye West feat Jamie Foxx – Gold Digger +2 U2 – City of Blinding Lights +1 Mariah Carey – We Belong Together really good year when you get past the first couple of months :D
June 10, 201114 yr Pleased to see Moloko through. Daft Punk is good but overrated. 15 Ashanti – Only U 12 Kanye West feat Jamie Foxx – Gold Digger 10 Oasis – Let There Be Love 08 Razorlight – Somewhere Else 06 Robbie Williams – Tripping 05 Manic Street Preachers – Empty Souls 04 Mario – Let Me Love You 03 Charlotte Church – Crazy Chick 02 Rihanna – Pon de Replay 01 Gorillaz – Feel Good Inc. -2 Sean Paul – We Be Burnin’
June 10, 201114 yr Very tricky to split the top three as rate them all highly. Not an Elvis fan whatsoever, but the few tracks of his I quite like all seemed to make No.2 in the re-issue era! Bizarre! +15 Gorillaz – Feel Good Inc. Loved pretty much the majority of there input as I did with Blur +12 Kanye West feat Jamie Foxx – Gold Digger Took a few years before I really liked this +10 Razorlight – Somewhere Else Would have got +15 in most other years +8 Elvis Presley – Way Down My favourite Elvis track, can't explain why as I'm not sure! +6 Coldplay – Speed of Sound +5 Elvis Presley – Wooden Heart +4 Rihanna – Pon de Replay +3 Oasis – Let There Be Love +2 Robbie Williams – Tripping +1 Elvis Presley – (You’re The) Devil In Disguise -2 Westlife feat Diana Ross – When You Tell Me That You Love Me Detested immensely the original, adding Westlife surprisingly didn't help!! Having reminded myself of the Sean Paul track that nearly got the -2 also. Shame the boring Manics song together with the first of the Elvis re-issues denied Killers 'Somebody Told Me' from either a No.1 or No.2. All in all the best year so far we've rated IMO.

Westlife feat Diana Ross – When You Tell Me That You Love Me
June 10, 201114 yr Good results for 2000! Although the wildcard qualifiers are better than the final ones in my honest opinion - 3 excellent tracks there. :lol: at Martine below Baha Men - those damn kids, lifting that crap above a slice of pure disco-pop heaven! 2005 is an excellent year. Almost as good as 2000. +15 Kanye West - Gold Digger +12 Ashanti - Only U +10 Mariah Carey - We Belong Together +8 Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc. +6 Elvis Presley - Are You Lonesome Tonight? +5 Robbie Williams - Tripping +4 Snoop Dogg - Signs +3 Charlotte Church - Crazy Chick +2 Elvis Presley - Crying In The Chapel +1 U2 - City Of Blinding Lights -2 Elvis Presley - Wooden Heart

June 10, 201114 yr Ah, this is a slightly better year in terms of me knowing the songs although there are still quite a few on that list I haven't heard (including all the Elvis songs :drama:) +15 Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx - Gold Digger I'm going to be really annoyed if this doesn't make the top 4. I know it's by an artist BJ hardly likes but it's Kanye's second best song IMO after 'Runaway' (don't remind me of that flop :() and I'm a massive fan of Kanye. Stronger was awful but I forgive him for that. +12 Coldplay - Speed Of Sound Again, Coldplay have a pretty much spotless singles discography. Another fully deserved high pointer. +10 Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc Heard someone playing this song at school today, I'd forgotten how good it was. I still prefer Dare though (unpopular opinion). This completes a fantastic top 3, but unfortunately the quality goes down quickly after this :( +8 Snoop Dogg feat. Charlie Wilson and Justin Timberlake - Signs Still really good +6 Rihanna - Pon De Replay Decent. +5 Razorlight - Somewhere Else Starting to get a bit objectionable... +4 U2 - City Of Blinding Lights +3 Robbie Williams - Tripping Don't really like this at all +2 Mario - Let Me Love You +1 Daniel Powter - Bad Day Only just about bearable -2 Mariah Carey - We Belong Together This bitch to die please EDIT: Changed the order of the top - no idea why I originally put Kanye only on +8! Edited June 10, 201114 yr by Bray
June 10, 201114 yr Elvis ones I couldn't care less about, so that helps cut it down quite a bit. +15 Gorillaz – Feel Good Inc. - Easy 15 for me. Classic. Whether it's better than Dare, I can't really decide, but the whole album is brilliant +12 Daniel Powter – Bad Day - Love it +10 Rihanna – Pon de Replay +8 Snoop Dogg feat Charlie Wilson and Justin Timberlake – Signs +6 Robbie Williams – Tripping +5 Mariah Carey – We Belong Together +4 Coldplay – Speed of Sound +3 Charlotte Church – Crazy Chick +2 Kanye West feat Jamie Foxx – Gold Digger +1 Ashanti – Only U - 2 Mario – Let Me Love You - Worst of a fairly good round, really.
June 10, 201114 yr +15 Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc. +12 Mario - Let Me Love You +10 Sean Paul - We Be Burnin’ +8 Mariah Carey - We Belong Together +6 Snoop Dogg feat Charlie Wilson and Justin Timberlake - Signs +5 Robbie Williams - Tripping +4 Rihanna - Pon de Replay +3 Charlotte Church - Crazy Chick +2 Coldplay - Speed of Sound +1 Razorlight - Somewhere Else -2 Westlife feat Diana Ross - When You Tell Me That You Love Me I loved 2005 overall. Maybe one of my favourite years for music. Edited June 10, 201114 yr by Eric_Blob
June 10, 201114 yr Author You'll be surprised to hear as of Eric Blob's votes there is a grand total of ZERO females in the top 6 (Mariah ruining it at number 7), even BJ favourite Rihanna is nowhere to be seen in the wildcards, let alone the final. The BJ stereotype has been broken this round :P
