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.

 

As expected, Buzzjack favourite "Say It Right" wins the round, and breaks the points record set by The Killers earlier on. I guess the final will be a battle of Nelly vs. Killers. Who will win is what we will find out later. Also through is Calvin Harris with his debut single "Acceptable In The 80s". He is still massively popular today, unlike Sophie Ellis-Bextor who also gets into the final. Bloc Party finish 2nd with "Flux". Mika, Cascada and Amerie go through to the semis. Cascada has 2 entries in the top 10 but "Miracle" misses out with "What Hurts The Most" going through. Kaiser Chiefs' original version of "Oh My God" didn't make it through. The Mark Ronson and Lily Allen cover also misses out. Only one song is in red, a song that I've never heard and probably don't want to hear as it is on -06 points.

If you think this list is really small wait for the 2009 round. Only 17 songs to vote from :mellow: However there are some great songs in there, but the low numbers mean I have to vote for songs I don't care about :drama:

+15 Boyzone "Love You Anyway"

+4 Pendulum "Propane Nightmares"

+3 Goldfrapp "A&E"

+2 Beyoncé "Listen"

+1 The Feeling "I Thought It Was Over"

Not that great a list, I only really LOVE the Boyzone song, which is sorely underrated, great comeback single.

-02 McFly - One For The Radio (crime to music :()

 

Pretty awful year, my favourites from Beyonce and Goldrapp appear though as well as one of my fave Kylie tracks and a very good GA (albeit not one of their best). Also love Propane Nightmares and really like If This Is Love, but as one of my fave acts it's not their best. 4-1pts are sort of filler, I do like them but probably wouldn't listen out of choice.

Possibly the hardest selection to date as most wouldn't have got a look in, in the other years. Even McFly nearly got a point!

Great results for '07. Very surprised but pleased to see Amerie through to the semis. :heart:

 

Now on to 2008. This is actually a good year, even if this list does feel like the arse-end of the 2002-2007 era on its way out, with still a lot of fanbase-led top 10 hits despite the death of physicals cutting their ability to do well. I imagine 2009 will finally give us a list of songs that at least had some wide appeal and will probably be all the better for it.
