As many of you already know, we are coming close to the twelve hundredth number one single in the UK as well as the UK chart celebrating 60 years. So what better way to celebrate than to find out Buzzjack's favourite number ones of all time? But this Ultimate rate comes with a twist.

 

Unlike previous ultimate rates the voting will not be done by year, as this will take forever. Instead there will be 12 groups of 100 songs chosen at random by random.org of which the top 16 will go through to the next round (making 192 songs) and the rest of the top 20 will enter the semi-finals in which the top 8 will go through. This way we have a final 200. I will open one group at a time and voting will be the same as last time.

 

Then once we get to the top 200 we will cut it down to 100 or 50 if need be, before the grand final.

 

Group 9 Results

 

For a second time in a row Madonna wins. This time it's with late 90s chart topper "Frozen". ABBA get two of their entries straight to the final with their third entry just making it to the semis. In second place is Stereophonics' only #1, and Buzzjack's favourite song from them. All Saints and Rihanna finish 3rd with the same amount of points. It's also great to see Buzzjack having some taste in hip-hop music too, as Timbaland, Tinie Tempah and the BEPs make it through to the final.

Some of my friends love Steps. With the best of wishes to all my Steps-loving friends - there's something wrong with a world where a note for note copied inferior shreaky cover version gets into the final and the brilliant original, by the people who wrote and created the version that was ripped off, doesn't....! It's like me knocking a copy of the Mona Lisa off one afternoon and then finding it's more popular than the original...

Ah well, I don't do cheesy dances in clubs, put it down to sour grapes on my part :) :lol:

 

PS I'm not voting for Bohemian Rhapsody. It always wins Most Popular Song competitions of all-time, and great as it is, I'm giving it a rest to help the less-likely get some votes. Ive had to exclude at least 15 that deserve to be in the Top 20!

Votes that don't feature Hung Up in this round shouldn't be counted tbh :smoke:

Decent set of qualifiers from List 9, apart from the dire J.Lo drivel. Low scoring though, was that due to alot less votes or votes more spread out. List 10 is probably the most ordinary one so far, nothing really exceptional.

 

+30 Oasis "The Importance of Being Idle"

+25 Queen "Bohemian Rhapsody"

+22 Snap! "The Power"

+20 Johnny Kidd & The Pirates "Shakin' All Over"

+16 Robbie Williams "Eternity/The Road to Mandalay" - not for the bland "Eternity" but the far superior "...Mandalay".

+14 Chaka Khan "I Feel for You"

+13 The Prodigy "Firestarter"

+12 Slade "Coz I Luv You"

+11 Madonna "Hung Up"

Some of my friends love Steps. With the best of wishes to all my Steps-loving friends - there's something wrong with a world where a note for note copied inferior shreaky cover version gets into the final and the brilliant original, by the people who wrote and created the version that was ripped off, doesn't....! It's like me knocking a copy of the Mona Lisa off one afternoon and then finding it's more popular than the original...

What surprises me is that you seem surprised by this. I agree though, it is a tragedy (no pun intended), but I bet that at the time the majority of the million plus who purchased the Steps cover didn't even know it was a cover. I would have put it down to people not wanting to like a Bee Gees song as it's not 'cool' but the fact it's Steps would surely contradict that thought. Despite some quite diverse voting in general, the list of qualifiers in the end has still been very predictable for BJ.

 

Still, each to their own.............unfortunately :P
