This rate is to find out Buzzjack's favourite 'forgotten' top ten hit. It features every song that was popular for one week before falling down the charts quickly.

 

This includes every song that went top 10 for ONE WEEK in the 00s. Even if the song is well known (for example Coldplay's Yellow) it will still be included. Songs that charted for one week at the end of 2009 and continued to chart in 2010 won't count. Songs that first charted in 1999 and charted for one week in 2000 also won't count.

 

The top 4 from each round will go directly to the final. This means 40 songs will be safe in the final after 10 rounds. Numbers 5 - 7 will go to the semi final round. This means 30 songs will be in the semi finals, 10 of these songs will be in the final. So if your favourite song finishes in the results at number 8 or lower then it has no chance. This means in years such as 2005 where there were far too many one week wonders most of them will be eliminated at the first hurdle.

 

Here are the results from last game. Thank you to everyone who voted but here is what you've been waiting for.

 

A relatively low number of songs in this round results in high points. Madonna's "Jump" becomes the first song to score 100+ points but miss out on the semis. I'm sure Madonna's alright, because she does have a song going directly to the final. Pink wins with 196 points, Muse come 2nd with fan favourite "Knights of Cydonia". They are joined by previously mentioned Madonna as well as Girls Aloud. Shakira, Jamelia and The Fratellis go into the semis. Tony Christie sets a new record, scoring the lowest points ever with "Is This The Way (To The World Cup)" (-32 points!)

Get Together is so much weaker than Jump :( Pleased to see GA through, seeing as it's one of their more underrated singles.

Considering how few songs there are here, I do actually love all of these. Hope Say It Right can possibly halt the inevitable Mr Brightside landslide!

 

-2 Runrig feat. Tartan Army "Loch Lomond"

WAHOO for Muse, another of my top 10 of all time in 2007 but I'm be gobsmacked if "What I've Done" even makes the semis. My -2 very nearly went to The Twang, terrible band.

Excellent results for 2006 and what a good year in 2007! I mean, the charts are slow moving so not THAT much choice but with Happy Ending, What I've Done, Flux and The Pretender, oh YES! Nelly has one of her better songs and I have a bit of a soft spot for the sillier Mika song here.
