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 Sat 18 June - Individual Round Tue 21 June - Individual Round (NOT Monday as I'm going on a school trip to Bolougne (or however you spell it lol) and am leaving early.)

June 21, 201114 yr Crap, I forgot to vote in the last one :blush: I wouldn't have affected the qualifiers anyway though so it's alright
June 21, 201114 yr Great top 4, very traditional BuzzJack! But I guess the 2004 #2's were dominated with females and crap so it makes sense :heehee: As for 2007; +15 Take That – Rule The World The greatest UK #2 of the 00s by a HUGE margin, it had better walk this round +12 Fergie – Big Girls Don’t Cry +10 Kate Nash – Foundations +8 Manic Street Preachers – Your Love Alone is Not Enough This was great, Nina and James' voices worked extremely well together, a great last hurrah for the Manics commercially +6 Gwen Stefani – The Sweet Escape +5 Mark Ronson – Stop Me +4 Mutya Buena – Real Girl +3 Eric Prydz vs Floyd – Proper Education +2 T2 feat Jodie Aysha – Heartbroken +1 Shayne Ward – No U Hang Up/If That’s OK With You For the second part of the double a-side, I was shamefully addicted to it -2 50 Cent – Ayo Technology A decent song underneath here somewhere, as proved by the Milow cover, but this version was only ok. Admittedly there's nothing here I'd rate below a 6/10 so it's more by default... Ida Corr, Just Jack and Mark/Amy were close to getting plus points, some great #2's here!
