October 13, 201212 yr 179 - Berlin "Take My Breath Away (Love Theme From "Top Gun") (1986) (+34) 37-7-1-1-1-1-2-5-11-14-13-16-25-45-60-52R(55)-57-66->18 This song's listenable but it is in no way one of the best power ballads of the 80s. This was the only hit single for Berlin, it returned back to the top 3 in 1990 when they re-released it (don't ask me why lol) I remember a mini-trend in the early 90's to re-release big film theme songs when the film got their TV premiere- also resulted in 2nd time around hits for Roxette It Must Have Been Love (Pretty Woman) and Bill Medley/ Jennifer Warnes I've Had The Time Of My Life (Dirty Dancing) Enjoying the countdown by the way!
October 15, 201212 yr Author 170 - The Animals "The House Of The Rising Sun" (1964) (+42) 31-6-1-2-5-7-8-13-22-30-31-38->12 One of my personal favourite songs from the 60s, it has a very recognizable riff and is one of the most well known country songs ever. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a8/Rising_sun_animals_US.jpg bwAw9ThDQmk
October 15, 201212 yr Author 169 - The Black Eyed Peas "Boom Boom Pow" (2009) (+44) 1-2-2-1-2-3-3-6-7-11-13-13-16-18-21-24-33-37-44-47-54-58-64-65-66-67-51-61-71-73R(4)-45-63->32 In my opinion this is one of, if not THE best song of all time. 2009 was such a good year for music and this song explains why. Classic hip-hop beats mixed with electro and fantastic lyrics. The Black Eyed Peas couldn't have made a comeback in a better way! We have two more songs from the BEPs in this countdown, one of them from 2009, the other from 2003. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/95/Bepbbp3008.jpg 4m48GqaOz90
October 15, 201212 yr Author 168 - Whitney Houston "Saving All My Love For You" (1985) (+45) 60-23-9-2-1-1-2-2-2-9-19-28-44-56-71-72->16 Whitney's first song in this countdown and her first single ever. I don't think it's that special, it's a little slow and boring and she has made much better singles in her career. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Whitney_Houston_SavAllLove.jpg ewxmv2tyeRs
October 15, 201212 yr Author 167 - ABBA "Take A Chance On Me" (1978) (+45) 10-2-1-1-1-2-3-8-15-19->10 One of the weaker songs in ABBA's massive career but this is still good. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2a/Take_a_Chance_on_Me_(Abba_single)_coverart.jpg crgQGdpZR0
October 15, 201212 yr Author 166 - The Verve "The Drugs Don't Work" (1997) (+46) 1-3-4-10-15-20-20-27-30-35-47-64-66R(5)->13 This is a great song with meaningful lyrics. Having said that their other massive hit Bittersweet Symphony deserved #1 over this. Both of the following have gone down as radio classics and Buzzjack favourites http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/dd/The_Drugs_Don't_Work.jpg ToQ0n3itoII
October 26, 201212 yr Author OK I'm going to try and speed this up a little or we'll be here until Christmas 2013. 165 - The Police "Every Breath You Take" (1983) (+46) The Police had many great songs, this being one of them. 7-1-1-1-1-2-9-20-28-40-58->11 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bd/Every_Breath_You_Take_single_cover.png 164 - The Rolling Stones "Paint It, Black" (1966) (+47) My second personal favourite from the stones, the other being Satisfaction. 5-1-2-2-6-12-16-23-32-46->10 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/77/Paintitblack.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6d8eKvegLI 163 - Rudimental feat.

Rudimental are currently the 2nd biggest drum n' bass act in the UK behind DJ Fresh and they haven't even released their second single! This is a great song which deservedly became a surprise #1 and summer smash. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f9/FeeltheLove.jpg 162 - Nena "99 Red Balloons" (1984) (+47) 58-31-11-2-1-1-1-2-11-20-39-64->12 A great song and a great chart run to match. I'm loving the symmetry of 11-2-1-1-1-2-11! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/40/99_Luftballons_single_cover.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14IRDDnEPR4 161 - Blondie "Maria" (1999) (+47) 1-2-6-11-15-19-26-30-41-45-48-56->12 I personally like the earlier Blondie hits more than this one. Strange how they hadn't had a top 40 single since 1982 excluding re-issues and they return with a #1. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/13/Blondie_-_Maria.jpg
October 26, 201212 yr Author 160 - The Beautiful South "A Little Time" (1990) (+48) 30-9-4-1-2-2-4-9-15-34-41-53-55-64->14 Tbh I find this song very boring and forgettable. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/03/Alittletime.jpg 159 - Holly Vallance "Kiss Kiss" (2002) (+48) 1-2-5-10-9-10-15-20-21-26-34-38-41-37-50-66->16 What a great slice of cheese here! This song sums up the early 00s in terms of cheesiness and production. Oh and I didn't know until now that this song's a cover :o http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8b/Kiss_kiss_-_limited_edition.jpg 158 - T. Rex "Hot Love" (1971) (+49) 31-17-7-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-6-9-17-21-31-34-48->17 [no artwork available] 157 - ABBA "The Name Of The Game" (1977) (+51) 20-5-1-1-1-1-4-11-18-35-35-29->12 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/32/ABBA_-_The_Name_of_the_Game.jpg 156 - Bee Gees "You Win Again" (1987) (+51) Nice song here, I wouldn't have guessed this was the Bee Gees when I first heard it, as it sounds very different to their 70s disco 53-22-6-1-1-1-1-3-7-15-28-46-67-60-57->15 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/You_Win_Again.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cFJO6WD0h8

November 16, 201212 yr Scrolling through Titanium, Gotye, Toxic, I would never ever have guessed Wuthering Heights as Number 1, excellent choice Buzzjack and thanks Thermo!
November 16, 201212 yr Disappointing winner to be honest. Can't stand that song. Never will. But people bought it at the end of the day though
