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 21st Century Number Twos Rate 2008 – Round 9 1. Soulja Boy Tell Em – Crank That (Soulja Boy) 2.

Rihanna "Live Your Life" My favourite T.I song, but Rihanna and rap music this year had better. Still great! +06 Kings Of Leon "Use Somebody" +05 Eric Prydz "Pjanoo" +04 ADELE "Chasing Pavements" +03 The Script "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" +02 Sam Sparro "Black And Gold" +01 Jeff Buckley "Hallelujah" -02 McFly "One For The Radio" Good year, this, Geraldine and Basshunter (yes, it got old after 1 song) are the only letdowns - with Nickelback (overplay) Leona and Britney not far behind

June 16, 201114 yr wow this year does not make it easy cos there are so many crap #2's. geraldine was so close to getting few points by default here! 15pts Adele – Chasing Pavements 12pts Leona Lewis – Better In Time/Footprints In the Sand 10pts The Script – The Man Who Can’t Be Moved 8pts Britney Spears – Piece of Me 6pts Sam Sparro – Black & Gold 5pts Kings of Leon – Use Somebody 4pts Flo Rida feat T-Pain – Low 3pts T.I. feat Rihanna – Live Your Life 2pts Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah 1pt McFly – One For The Radio -2pts Wiley - Wearing My Rolex

June 16, 201114 yr Decent results, three very good songs straight through but I can't say I ever got the fuss over Electric Six - not my cup of tea at all :lol: Great for Rachel - a case of BJ appreciating something of a lost pop classic as opposed to just voting for a pretty female face in this case I think. As for 2008 and what I think's a pretty strong and varied list actually. Geraldine would be my 11th placer but it was funny at the time and I bought the single :lol: I genuinely love all ten that I've voted for here; +15 H Two O feat Platnum – What’s It Gonna Be I was so shamefully obsessed with this - long live the random 3 month garage revival of 2007/8 :cheer: +12 Eric Prydz – Pjanoo A brilliant dance instrumental from Sweden, what's not to love!?! +10 Basshunter – All I Ever Wanted Likewise, but with vocals - cheesetastic but easily his best song +8 T.I. feat Rihanna – Live Your Life +6 Kings of Leon – Use Somebody +5 Wiley – Wearing My Rolex +4 Adele – Chasing Pavements +3 Britney Spears – Piece of Me +2 Leona Lewis – Better In Time/Footprints In the Sand +1 Sam Sparro – Black & Gold -2 Nickelback – Rockstar Horror of a 'song' - easy last
June 16, 201114 yr Firstly let me start by saying that I really think this is an abysmal set of songs in general and only really would give points to 3 of them: +15 Better In Time +12 Black & Gold +10 Piece Of Me From now on its just a case of what I dislike least +8 Chasing Pavements +6 Use Somebody +5 The Winners Song +4 The Man Who Cant Be Moved +3 One For The Radio +2 Rockstar +1 Hallelujah -2 Wearin My Rolex Spoilt for choice on this one, 6 absolutely terrible songs could have gotten it but this one sticks in memory most so I've gone with it.
June 16, 201114 yr Rachel Stevens are you guys for real? What a shocking year this is - its hard to choose any!!! + 15 T.I. feat Rihanna – Live Your Life + 12 Flo Rida feat T-Pain – Low + 10 Sam Sparro – Black & Gold + 8 Britney Spears – Piece of Me + 6 Kings of Leon – Use Somebody + 5 H Two O feat Platnum – What’s It Gonna Be + 4 Soulja Boy Tell Em – Crank That (Soulja Boy) + 3 Adele – Chasing Pavements + 2 Nickelback – Rockstar + 1 Leona Lewis – Better In Time/Footprints In the Sand - 2 Geraldine!!
June 16, 201114 yr 15. Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah 12. Britney Spears – Piece of Me 10. Kings of Leon – Use Somebody 8. Sam Sparro – Black & Gold 6. Eric Prydz – Pjanoo 5. H Two O feat Platnum – What’s It Gonna Be 4. T.I. feat Rihanna – Live Your Life 3. Flo Rida feat T-Pain – Low 2. Wiley – Wearing My Rolex 1. The Script – The Man Who Can’t Be Moved -2. Nickelback – Rockstar
June 16, 201114 yr 15 Kings of Leon – Use Somebody Not their best, but still great 12 Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah Classic 10 Geraldine – The Winners Song Brilliant parody 08 T.I. feat Rihanna – Live Your Life I'll endure the fury of Eric if I put it any lower 06 Sam Sparro – Black & Gold Very good 05 Nickelback – Rockstar Guilty pleasure central 04 Flo Rida feat T-Pain – Low If only "I'm On A Boat" had been T-Pain's biggest hit... 03 The Script – The Man Who Can’t Be Moved Nice enough 02 Adele – Chasing Pavements Good, slightly dull. Deserved to be eclipsed by "Mercy" 01 Soulja Boy Tell Em – Crank That (Soulja Boy) Surprisingly decent -2 Basshunter – All I Ever Wanted Terrible
June 16, 201114 yr At last I can give points to ten songs without giving them to something truly awful. There are still some pretty poor songs at the bottom of the list but not as bad as the least few selections. 15 Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah 12 Adele – Chasing Pavements 10 Eric Prydz – Pjanoo 8 Sam Sparro – Black & Gold 6 Kings of Leon – Use Somebody 5 Geraldine – The Winners Song 4 The Script – The Man Who Can’t Be Moved Now we get to the pretty poor ones. 3 McFly – One For The Radio 2 Basshunter – All I Ever Wanted 1 Nickelback – Rockstar And finally the truly atrocious -2 Soulja Boy Tell Em – Crank That (Soulja Boy)
June 16, 201114 yr 15 - Sam Sparro - "Black & Gold" 12 - Adele - "Chasing Pavements" 10 - McFly - ""One For The Radio" 8 - H20 featuring Platnum - "What's It Gonna Be" 7 - Script - "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" 6 - Nickelback - "Rockstar" 5 - Kings Of Leon - "Use Somebody" 4 - Jeff Buckley - "hallelujah" 3 Britney Spears - "Piece Of Me" 2 - TI Featurin Rihanna - "Live Your Life" 1- Basshunter - "All I Ever Wanted" -2 Souha Boy Tell 'em - "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" -- Richard
June 16, 201114 yr We're not going to get a decent selection of No.2's from the 00's are we? :wacko: +15 Sam Sparro – Black & Gold By some distance the best song on this list +12 Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah The best version of this song without doubt +10 Flo Rida feat T-Pain – Low Hated this when initially released but grown on me greatly over time +8 Kings of Leon – Use Somebody Wasn't as fussed with KOL as everyone else seemed to be at the time. 'Sex On Fire' much better +6 Wiley – Wearing My Rolex Not the sort of song I'd usually like but this grew on me also +5 Geraldine – The Winners Song Brilliant parody, taken far too seriously by people..........and coincidently seeing the man himself tonight +4 Adele – Chasing Pavements Grated on me fairly quick, Duffy deservedly won the initial battle. Her new album is better but not as blown away as the general public have been +3 Eric Prydz – Pjanoo +2 Basshunter – All I Ever Wanted +1 Nickelback – Rockstar -2 Soulja Boy Tell Em – Crank That (Soulja Boy) :puke2: One of the most horrible songs of all time. How on earth was it even released?
June 16, 201114 yr +10 Soulja Boy Tell Em "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" :blush: sorry Yes, I should think so :unsure:
June 16, 201114 yr 15. Kings Of Leon - Use Somebody 12. Flo Rida - Low 10. Britney Spears - Piece Of Me 8. Adele - Chasing Pavements 6. Sam Sparro - Black & Gold 5.

June 16, 201114 yr Wow, what amazing results for 2003. I voted for every song that got through to the final/wildcard round which is surely some kind of first in one of these games! Shame Rock Your Body didn't get through instead of Cry Me A River but eh, that's only minor picking. I'm very happy that Stole got through especially, with an up middle finger (Oxide and Neutrino-stylee :lol:) to the people who dismiss it as boring! Doubt it will advance to the final round though when the wildcard voting comes but it's already exceeded my expectations. +15 Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah +12 Britney Spears - Piece Of Me +10 Geraldine - The Winners Song +8 Wiley - Wearing My Rolex +6 Sam Sparro - Black & Gold +5 T.I. feat. Rihanna - Live Your Life +4 Adele - Chasing Pavements +3 Eric Prydz - Pjanoo +2 Leona Lewis - Better In Time +1 McFly - One For The Radio -2 Soulja Boy Tell Em - Crank That (Soulja Boy)
June 16, 201114 yr +15 T.I. feat Rihanna – Live Your Life +12 Basshunter – All I Ever Wanted +10 Leona Lewis – Better In Time/Footprints In the Sand +8 The Script – The Man Who Can’t Be Moved +6 Sam Sparro – Black & Gold +5 Eric Prydz – Pjanoo +4 Nickelback – Rockstar +3 Adele – Chasing Pavements +2 Wiley – Wearing My Rolex +1 Kings of Leon – Use Somebody -2 Soulja Boy Tell Em – Crank That (Soulja Boy) - Horrible, horrible. Kiss Me Thru The Phone was far better than this.
