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.) Thu 23 June - Individual Round Sat 25 June - Individual Round (I am purposely leaving the 2010 + 2011 round till' last so that any recent number 2s don't miss out) Fri 01 July - Wildcard Round (yes I know it should start on the Monday but I'll be on a trip to Sicily from 26 - 30 June and obviously won't have internet connection) Sun 03 July - Final Round Tue 05 July - Results Thread week NOTE - Steps 'It's The Way You Make Me Feel' has been included in this round because I forgot to put it in it's proper round. In the unlikely event that it scores more than 113 points, it will replace Sophie Ellis Bextor's 'Take Me Home' and be counted as '2001'. This is so that the song can't stop 2010/11 songs getting in. NOTE II - I will be starting my 'wildcard' round on the first of July because I am leaving on a school trip to Sicily from Sun - Thu. So you have extra time to vote this round :) Ultimate 21st Century Number Twos Rate 2010 + 2011 – Round 11 1. Steps ‘It’s The Way You Make Me Feel (2001)’ 2.

Worst thing Chip has ever put his name to :(
June 25, 201114 yr Oh my BuzzJack, I am very, very disappointed in you putting the clear worst song in first place again. (I would have knocked it down to #2 if I'd voted I guess but it would still go through)

June 25, 201114 yr Glad to see Murder On The Dancefloor and Rapture through to the final! 2011 has had some awful #2's so far, with the exception of Adele... +15 Take That – The Flood +12 Adele – Rolling In The Deep +10 Robbie Williams & Gary Barlow – Shame +8 Steps ‘It’s The Way You Make Me Feel (2001)’ +6 K’naan – Wavin’ Flag +5 Ellie Goulding – Your Song +4 Katy Perry – Teenage Dream +3 Glee Cast – Don’t Stop Believin’ +2 Eminem feat Rihanna – Love The Way You Lie +1 Florence + The Machine & Dizzee Rascal – You Got The Dirtee Love -2 Jedward feat Vanilla Ice – Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)
June 25, 201114 yr 15. Take That – The Flood 12. Aloe Blacc – I Need A Dollar 10. Steps ‘It’s The Way You Make Me Feel (2001)’ 8. Jason Derulo – Ridin’ Solo 6. ADELE – Rolling In The Deep 5. Florence + The Machine & Dizzee Rascal – You Got The Dirtee Love 4. Eminem feat Rihanna – Love The Way You Lie 3. Katy Perry – Teenage Dream 2. Ellie Goulding – Your Song 1. Jessie J – Do It Like A Dude -2. Willow Smith – Whip My Hair (a song without redemption)
June 25, 201114 yr +15 Florence + The Machine and Dizzee Rascal - You Got The Dirtee Love A bit of an odd choice for my +15 maybe but this is an absolutely fantastic mash-up, works so much better than I ever expected a mash-up of YGTL and DC to work :lol: :wub: +12 Adele - Rolling In The Deep This will go down in history as a '#1 that never was' (even though the song that beat it has sold more overall) +10 K'naan - Wavin' Flag A rare genuinely amazing football song, probably because it's not a football song +8 Tinie Tempah feat. Labrinth - Frisky And a song denied #1 by a $h!t football song. Tinie was ROBBED. +6 Sidney Samson feat. Wizard Sleeve - Riverside (Let's Go!) Got a little bit boring after a while but I was totally OBSESSED with this, so it can have 6 +5 Take That - The Flood One of four genuinely fantastic songs they've made since their comeback, the others being 'Patience', 'Rule The World' and 'Love Love'. Not crazy about much of their other post-comeback stuff though. +4 Chipmunk feat. Chris Brown - Champion Probably Chipmunk's best song now I think about it, Diamond Rings (anyone remember that?) and Oopsy Daisy both got very old pretty quick... +3 Calvin Harris feat. Kelis - Bounce Would probably be lower if this round were held any later - I am obsessed with it at the moment but it hasn't been given a chance to get old yet. +2 Eminem feat. Rihanna - Love The Way You Lie Overrated. Good but not worthy of its massive sales +1 Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar This is starting to get a bit boring now but I still like it. -2 Willow - Whip My Hair The less said about this the better.
June 25, 201114 yr I'm pleased with that top 7 (although, to be fair, I think I'd've been pleased with any top 7, 2001 was a fantastic year for #2s). +15 Jason Derulo – Ridin’ Solo +12 Florence + The Machine & Dizzee Rascal – You Got The Dirtee Love +10 Eminem feat Rihanna – Love The Way You Lie +8 K’naan – Wavin’ Flag +6 Glee Cast – Don’t Stop Believin’ +5 Tinie Tempah feat Labrinth – Frisky +4 Calvin Harris feat. Kelis – Bounce +3 Willow Smith – Whip My Hair +2 ADELE – Rolling In The Deep +1 Jedward feat Vanilla Ice – Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby) -2 Take That – The Flood Edited June 25, 201114 yr by Eric_Blob
June 25, 201114 yr Another poor list, leaving 2007 as the only decent list of No.2´s. Can´t quite believe that Glee´s awful cover, the horrible Florence/Dizzy mash up, the painful Jason Derulo song or even Jedward could get -2 on this list but there was something even more vile lurking. +15 Aloe Blacc – I Need A Dollar Brilliant chart run, great song +12 Take That – The Flood Only about the 5th/6th best song on the album but they are the most consistent act presently +10 Tinie Tempah feat Labrinth – Frisky Really like Mr Tempah, preferred "Pass Out" and "Wonderman though" +8 Adele – Rolling In The Deep Not a big Adele fan but this is her best song yet +6 Ellie Goulding – Your Song Beautiful Ellie with a decent cover, "Starry Eyed" was one of best tracks of 2010 +5 Sidney Samson feat Wizard Sleeve – Riverside (Let’s Go) Reminds me of Harry Hill so always raises a smile +4 Robbie Williams & Gary Barlow – Shame +3 Katy Perry – Teenage Dream +2 Wretch 32 feat Example – Unorthodox Not great but still better than most on this list, Example´s "Kickstarts" was probably my favourite record of 2010. +1 K’naan – Wavin’ Flag -2 Rihanna – Rude Boy Another OMG who the hell liked this moment. Oh, but it´s Rihanna so we must like it. Dire, dire, dire song
June 25, 201114 yr +15 K’naan – Wavin’ Flag - Actually an amazing football song +12 Eminem feat Rihanna – Love The Way You Lie - Fully deserving of #1 EOY. Also, I didn't vote for Rude Boy. :P +10 Wretch 32 feat Example – Unorthodox +8 Calvin Harris feat. Kelis – Bounce +6 Sidney Samson feat Wizard Sleeve – Riverside (Let’s Go) +5 Tinie Tempah feat Labrinth – Frisky +4 Chipmunk feat Chris Brown – Champion +3 Take That – The Flood +2 Katy Perry – Teenage Dream +1 ADELE – Rolling In The Deep -2 Jedward feat Vanilla Ice – Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby) - :nono:
June 25, 201114 yr 15. Aloe Blacc – I Need A Dollar 12. Wretch 32 feat Example – Unorthodox 10. Calvin Harris feat. Kelis – Bounce 8. Tinie Tempah feat Labrinth – Frisky 6. Ellie Goulding – Your Song 5. ADELE – Rolling In The Deep 4. Rihanna – Rude Boy 3. K’naan – Wavin’ Flag 2. Glee Cast – Don’t Stop Believin’ 1. Florence + The Machine & Dizzee Rascal – You Got The Dirtee Love -2. Katy Perry – Teenage Dream - Easily the weakest single from this era. Wow, 2010s number twos really were shocking. I like two of them :mellow:
June 25, 201114 yr Fully deserving of #1 EOY. Also, I didn't vote for Rude Boy. :P Neither did I actually (and evidently most other people voting here)! :o But nobody is going to vote for it just because it's Rihanna (despite what people claim). :lol:
June 25, 201114 yr Neither did I actually (and evidently most other people voting here)! :o But nobody is going to vote for it just because it's Rihanna (despite what people claim). :lol: Every other round, if there's been a Rihanna song, I think I've voted for it, and normally quite high as well. I just don't like Rude Boy as much (I loved Rated R as an album, but singles wise, Rude Boy and Te Amo weren't as great). It's not going to go through. We can be discerning. :lol:
June 25, 201114 yr Decent results for 2001. Wheatus was hardly the best (although the freshest in most people's minds due to its recent top 40 re-appearance) but I did give them 3 points towards that victory so I can't exactly complain. The other three final qualifiers, however, were my top 3 which is quite rare and indeed most pleasing. +15 Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar +12 Wretch 32 feat Example - Unorthodox +10 Take That - The Flood +8 Tinie Tempah feat Labrinth - Frisky +6 Rihanna - Rude Boy +5 K'naan - Wavin' Flag +4 ADELE - Rolling In The Deep +3 Florence + The Machine & Dizzee Rascal - You Got The Dirtee Love +2 Chipmunk feat Chris Brown - Champion +1 Steps - It's The Way You Make Me Feel -2 Ellie Goulding - Your Song HORRIBLE selection here. Trying to pick a song to throw the last point to, and to give a -2 to, were both excruciatingly difficult tasks due to lack of choice and too much choice, respectively.
June 25, 201114 yr +15 Teenage Dream +12 The Flood +10 Wavin Flag +8 It's The Way You Make Me Feel +6 Rude Boy +5 Rolling In The Deep +4 Your Song +3 Heart Vacancy +2 Ridin Solo +1 Don't Stop Believin -2 Frisky - every Tinie song is awful and this is no exception. Yet another poor selection of songs, I ran out of songs I really like with Rude Boy, everything else are just songs that aren't awful.
