It was slated to be the second single, but its release was cancelled in favor of "Heartbreaker". It was believed that Nicole Scherzinger was originally due to feature on the track. The next song is a possible surprise to actually be this high as I was really expecting T.H.E. to be right at the bottom. It became a non-album single after failing to make the tracklist for #willpower. Some inspirational lyrics include, 'I woke up in the morning, hard like morning wood in the morning' and 'This beat is the sh*t, feces.' I think the song is a good but horrid mess that shouldn't be taken too seriously. :lol: Mas Que Nada has a claim to fame in that it is the only single to have featured the whole group of the Black Eyed Peas. Sergio Mendes re-recorded the Brazillian song to feature the group and it marked the group's last release until Boom Boom Pow. I mainly remember it from appearing in the FIFA World Cup 2006 game.

Check it Out was featured on Nicki Minaj’s album but it was not released to promote it. will.i.am uses another sample here, this time from Video Killed the Radio Star. My main criticism of the song is the lack of interesting chorus. 3 Words is, imo, Cheryl’s best single by far and the only one that I really have time for. I’m surprised at how badly it did here but it probably suffered from those -1s. The song is a duet between the two artists confessing their love for each other and it has been widely suspected over the years that the two are in a relationship but they have assured us that they are only good friends. OMG is another big hit but I’m not as surprised at its position. It was a massive song at the time and is the first song here that was Number 1 both here and in the US. I grew some dislike for it after it ruined Tyler James’ chance of winning the Voice UK :angry: . Bitterness aside, it’s not Usher’s best and it was nice to hear him release songs like Climax with his latest release. Edited July 14, 201312 yr by Rabbit Heart

I Gotta Feeling is the Black Eyed Peas biggest selling single, selling over 8 million in the US and was the first digital million selling single in the UK, I think... :lol:. It seems to be a victim of its own success, receiving the most -1s out of all the songs here. As the biggest selling single, I would have expected it to be higher but then it doesn’t fit the group’s sound as well as their other material did for their last two albums. It seems though that it’s a very decisive track but I love it. Heartbreaker is the final single to feature Cheryl Cole and it came about after she auditioned to feature in the single's video for the programme Passions of Girls Aloud. She ultimately received the opportunity to record guest vocals, singing a new part of the chorus and replacing the original female single in the breakdown. To me, the song is mediocre and shouldn't be above 3 Words. A Fergie song falls next and it was originally intended to feature on The Dutchess, it later appeared on the Deluxe Edition. Again, I find the song nothing special, but not that bad either.
July 15, 201312 yr Check it Out, 3 Words and OMG are all insufferably horrendous. Ooops at their biggest single limping in there. Party People and Heartbreaker though <3

It features Britney with a British accent but the original version was co-written for Tulisa and was intended to feature on her debut solo album. It eventually reached Number 1 here in the UK and a remix of the song featuring numerous rappers was later released. Rock That Body features another female singer in an unusual style of voice, this time Fergie is represented through Auto-Tune. I’m not a fan of heavy Auto-Tune but I still love Rock That Body, although I suppose I’m not surprised at its position here. The first proper single from The Dutchess features next which did considerably better in the US than in the UK. I’m disappointed it's the lowest of her singles from the album as, to be specific, it’s her third best single from it. Guetta refused the Black Eyed Peas to record Gettin’ Over You for The E.N.D and when it was re-recorded to feature Fergie, will.i.am was also set to feature but LMFAO took his place. It was a Number 1 for all the artists involved and I initially loved it on release but have gone off over time. Edited July 15, 201312 yr by Rabbit Heart
July 15, 201312 yr Author So, these are the songs that are left in the Top 20: Bang Bang Beep (The Pussycat Dolls feat will.i.am) Big Girls Don't Cry Boom Boom Pow Don't Lie Don't Phunk With My Heart Fall Down (feat Miley Cyrus) Fergalicious (feat will.i.am) Glamorous (feat Ludacris) Hey Mama Just Can't Get Enough Labels or Love Let's Get it Started London Bridge Meet Me Halfway My Humps Pump It Shut Up This Is Love (feat Eva Simmons) Where is the Love? That means that no singles from Elephunk or Monkey Business have yet to feature and we still have 5 Fergie singles to go while will.i.am only has 3 solo singles left even though he has more singles overall.
July 15, 201312 yr I didn't realise Clumsy only peaked at #62 in the UK :o Thought it was a ~#27 smash hit My initial top 5 predictions: 01 Meet Me Halfway 02 Where Is the Love? 03 Big Girls Don't Cry 04 Just Can't Get Enough 05 Don't Phunk With My Heart Boom Boom Pow and My Humps I think will miss the top 5 as they're very love/hate :(
July 16, 201312 yr 'Clumsy' deserved better both in this AND as a chart hit in the UK. :( Also, I think people are too harsh on 'I Gotta Feeling'. It's one of the biggest, most anthemic sounding songs we've heard in absolutely ages, imo. It's brilliant. What I'd LIKE: 01. Big Girls Don't Cry 02. Where is the Love? 03. Boom Boom Pow 04. London Bridge 05. Glamorous (feat Ludacris) 06. Beep (The Pussycat Dolls feat will.i.am) 07. Don't Lie 08. Shut Up 09. Don't Phunk With My Heart 10. My Humps --- 11. Fall Down (feat Miley Cyrus) 12. Fergalicious (feat will.i.am) 13. Labels or Love 14. This Is Love (feat Eva Simmons) 15. Pump It 16. Bang Bang 17. Meet Me Halfway 18. Just Can't Get Enough 19. Let's Get it Started 20. Hey Mama I wouldn't mind anything in the top 10 winning. They're all "signature hits"/the classics. As long as it's not 'Meet Me Halfway', which (whilst good) is stupidly overrated! That's a pretty awesome top 20 overall though. All deserving, bar maybe 'Fall Down' which shouldn't be there just yet, imo. I'd gladly replace that with either IGAF or 'Clumsy'. But I'm not mad as it's a good song.

Labels or Love was recorded for the Sex and the City movie and was included on the deluxe edition of her album. It actually samples part of the show’s theme tune. Next up is Fergie’s debut solo single and my favourite from her. It’s been compared by many music critic’s to Gwen Stefani’s Hollaback Girl and I can see the similarities. It was a huge success for her and managed to top the US charts. *ORIGINAL JOKE ALERT* Next up we have Die Young, sorry Fall Down. :basil: The similarities are clear and the song was released as a promo single for will.i.am’s latest solo album. It will become the next single later in the year but has already faired quite well in both charts for a promo single. It will inevitably smash in the upcoming months especially after the success of We Can’t Stop. I find the song pretty throwaway anyway but it still makes it better than most of will.i.am’s singles.

It was the first song to feature in the infamous(?) advert for the iPod and was used heavily in Garfield: The Movie. I think this is a pretty fair position for the song as the other singles from Elephunk are more superior. It just gets beaten by This Is Love though here by 0.003. This Is Love seemed to arrive in a world of hype, mainly from will.i.am himself, and premiered while he was a judge of the Voice UK’s first series. The hype propelled the song to Number One but, imo, seems to be fairly forgotten only one year on. It thankfully managed to block Don’t Wake Me Up from becoming the 1200th number one single though, achieving the accomplishment itself. The music video is an ode to will.i.am’s love for the UK which has since led him to move his label over here. The US must have been bitter to all this love will.i.am was giving the UK as it only peaked at 10 on the Bubbling Under Chart. Fergalicious is the second single from Fergie and features someone called will.i.am. It carries on the hip-hop sound of London Bridge but wasn’t a huge success over here. It has been compared to My Humps which is another comparison that I agree with. Edited July 16, 201312 yr by Rabbit Heart

It would be interesting to see if it would have been lower, or higher, a few months down the line. It was recorded for The Great Gatsby soundtrack and was boosted into the UK Top 3 after being ‘sang’ on the Voice UK by will.i.am in a duet with, should have been the winner, Leah McFall. It has been rumoured that their version will be released but there are currently no signs of this. It fairs better here than Fergie’s attempt for the Gatsby soundtrack and there was little dislike for the song, allowing it a fairly high position. I’m surprised at how high My Humps got in this as I thought there would be more hate for it. The opposite occurred though and there is a lot of love Fergie’s ‘lovely little lumps’. The critics obviously LOVED the lyrics which includes the very clever ‘mix your milk wit my cocoa puff/ milky, milky cocoa, mix your milk with my cocoa puff, milky, milky riiiiight.’ Wikipedia says that will.i.am initially wrote the song for The Pussycat Dolls but he gave them the similarly suggestive Beep. I’m not saying they were the most credible group before but I think this was the main point where the group started to be seen by some as having a bad impact on music. :cry: It’s also the least liked single from Monkey Business which is the correct decision :D. The first time I listened to Monkey Business, I knew that Pump It had to be a single. It borrows a lot from Dick Dale’s Misirlou after will.i.am heard the song on Brazil. I think it featured in a Pepsi advert at the time which may have helped with it's chart position. Even though it’s my second favourite single from the group, I know that it’s not the most remembered single and so I think it finished in a respectable position, with my favourite single is still to come.

July 17, 201312 yr 'Hey Mama' :wub: 'I Gotta Feeling' flopping? I thought it would end up in the top 5 :o 'Shut Up' or 'Big Girls Don't Cry' to win!
July 18, 201312 yr Great to see My Humps do well! :D Fergalicious wasn't released as a single in the UK, which is why it didn't do well. I read on here somewhere that it actually did well on iTunes (from the music video release), but since it wasn't a single it had no physical, so was ineligible to chart at the time (or something like that?). Bang Bang seems to be one of the least dividing songs. The rest have 11s, 10s, 0s and -1s, but Bang Bang didn't get so many extreme scores. Edited July 18, 201312 yr by Eric_Blob
