'moves like jagger' which is nearly the most played song ever to grace the radio and its barely 8 months old and is the most defining song of the last few years!! also a mention for 'bleeding love' 2007. maybe a shout out for 'don't look back in anger'.

I still haven't heard Moves Like Jagger in full. Although that's largely by choice. Thank God I'm not forced to listen to the radio anymore.

 

Anyway, Someone Like You is definitely the defining song of 2011 - even though it's shite - that's not even debatable. It's like this generation's Nothing Compares 2 U in the sense it stands out from the plethora of synthesised crap that populated the charts in both 1990 and 2011 purely for its simplicity while packing huge emotional impact.

I'm sure that the 1.3m+ people that bought it might consider it to be more than a little 'debatable' whether it is shite or not.

Ha! I meant it's not debatable that it's the defining song of 2011, rather than that it's shite. Badly written on my part. I hardly ever read my posts back after writing my usual stream of consciousness-type crap. Much too lazy to do that. :D
