1998

#1

 

My favourite GA track :wub:

 

:lol: at 1998. It's from 2002.

 

Sacrilege that 'The Time (Dirty Bit)' has outsold this. :(

Hello, I'll be your host for your next hour :D

 

96. Black Eyed Peas - The Time (Dirty Bit) (2010) (#1)

 

 

and not a good way to start...vile massacre of an 80s classic :puke: (which admittedly sounds a lot better in a club) still, it prevented what would've been an even worse number 1...

Doesn't that describe all BEPs songs. :lol:

 

I think everybody knows what I think about Patience...

BEP top 5

 

1 - Boom Boom Pow

2 - I Gotta Feeling

3 - My Humps

4 - The Time (The Dirty Bit)

5 - Pump It

 

:wub:

95. Take That - Patience (2006) (#1)

 

 

ah, that's better, absolutely sublime song from Take That :wub: Truly what all the Wanted's & One Direction's of this world should turn into once they mature

I couldn't believe The Time got to #1, actually I couldn't remember it peaking there. Its their worst #1 to date.

Patience is awful, so so so dull. I'm not even a massive fan but I think it would be down there with their worst (Said It All being right at the very bottom of the pit...) :puke:

My favourite Take That songs are Shine and Love Love.

It shot to #1 after they performed it on X Factor. It clearly had a similar effect on the general public and Adele's Someone Like You performance at the BRITs. :)

94. Lady Gaga - Born This Way (2011) (#3)

 

 

the top 100 of the decade already, not exactly the massive flop everyone was making out was it? :P I actually really like this, its no Bad Romance, but those are pretty quotable lyrics

'Patience' potentially the second best song in the list behind VLV :wub: :wub: :wub: I didn't love this so much when it first came out but it's grown massively since then!

 

'The Time (Dirty Bit)' was a bit of a weird #1 looking back but I still like it. 'Mercy' is shockingly awful, 'Sound Of The Underground' and 'Rock DJ' are both great and good to hear them again (Robbie has a really good discography actually, Rock DJ is one of his less good songs that I've heard and I still really like it!), haven't heard 'TiK ToK' for a while either but didn't sound too great there.

 

'Hot N Cold' is Katy's second best single behind 'E.T.' for me :wub: 'The Lazy Song' is given too much hate here, not a berilliant song but pleasant enough IMO. 'Good Feeling' sounds ridiculously old already. 'She Said' still sounds great. 'Never Had A Dream Come True' is god awful, SC7 were god awful in general really. 'Number 1' still sounding good, 'Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)' still sounding god awful as well and 'A Little Less Conversation' is amaze, absolutely loved it when I was younger - and I thought at the time Elvis was still alive and was shocked to find out he'd died before I was born :lol:

 

'Born This Way' is pretty meh.

 

-x-

 

Right, caught up on the comments there :P I'm going to switch off at 1pm to do some homework and shiz, might tune in again a bit later but probably not. I'll just post the remainder of my comments in one big post (which I realise no one will read :kink:) at the end.

Shocked Born This Way got here :o I remember all the calls of flop because it 'only' debuted and peaked at #3, but it sold decently and I'm glad of that! Not her very best but still amazing.

93. The Killers - Human (2008) (#3)

 

 

And another amazing song :wub: it did get slightly overplayed, but still sounds excellent now that I hear it less often. The biggest hit from one of the most successful acts of their genre of the decade!

I haven't been following sales particularly closely this year - had no idea 'What Makes You Beautiful' had racked up this number of sales.

Did anyone think What Makes You Beautiful was going to be such a massive worldwide smash when they first heard it? :lol:

92. One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful (2011) (#1)

 

 

well, that's very high already :o I'm guessing this is one of if not the highest selling boyband song on here? a surprisingly great debut from One Direction, one that would appeal to far more than just their core fanbase

:lol: I, like most people thought that it'd be a frontloaded #1 hit with a Cher Lloyd esque chart run. How wrong I was :P

Lol that comment from Fearne made it sound like the chart is overloaded with Katy Perry. This is only the second song of hers to feature so far. :lol:

91. Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl (2008) (#1)

 

 

the song that started it all for Katy Perry! in all truth, this seems rather tacky nowadays & has lost its novelty. She has since proved she can do much better than this

:lol: I, like most people thought that it'd be a frontloaded #1 hit with a Cher Lloyd esque chart run. How wrong I was :P

 

I didn't really think it would be that big either. And then it kept getting massive boosts in the Winter aswell. :drama:

 

It only peaked at #4 in the US, but it's having a Jar of Hearts-style chart run, so I can see it being in the year-end top 20 there this year.

 

Has California Gurls outsold Hot N Cold and I Kissed a Girl?
