I'm In Love :wub: what a tune, probably my favourite MF 2011 track along with My Heart Is Refusing Me all things considered <3

It's actually my least favourite of all of hers I think :o All four of her albums are stunning from start to finish though, so so excited for new material from her.

 

LUCIE :cheer: What You're Made Of is probably my all-time favourite song, so so good and lots of memories associated with it.

 

It's definitely my favourite of hers although I LOVE all of them apart from Play On, which wasn't quite as good for me.

 

It's such a gorgeous song, I always thought of her as a UK Delta at the time, but I wasn't complaining!

 

Lee's life FULFILLED.

 

So many good songs here already Rich, I'm In Love, Grace Kelly and Love Shine A Light standing out especially, can't wait to see what's coming up.

 

I know right, no appearance for What About Us though sadly :(

 

We can#t bring up The Loving Kind without this:

 

 

:kink: (assuming that works, can't tell with YouTube blocked at school)

 

Shiver is my favourite Natalie Imbruglia song, so so good and I'd say if you asked people to name a song by her other than Torn, most would name that one (if they could name any at all... :( ).

 

It didn't work, however, I presume you're referring to the ICONIC Sarah backing vocal on GMTV? Nuh-deen's 'you're not a hag Fiona' was just as hilarious :lol:

 

It was such a fantastic pop song, I don't get why it stalled at #8, especially when the album somehow went to #1. It was a bit of a surprise to say the least after her 2001 album tanked!

Into the top 200...

200. Michael Woods - Platinum Chains (2013 - #1)

 

Some smashing dance classics in this section from Swedish House Mafia, Strike and Livin' Joy while 1995 is also represented by Buzzjack new-age fave Enya! FSR Rontvia are represented by Michael Woods and Prance Faris, two successful dance entries from the past couple of years and the legendary Mine All Mine by Maria and Mira! Dutch Madonna tribute act Mad'House appear, and yes, Madonna's original appears higher and later on! The Queen of Pop also features in this section with the sublime Ray Of Light single The Power Of Goodbye!

 

The Corrs pop up again three more times, Ed Sheeran's second entry appears along with Boyzone's highest - the breezy and long forgotten 1998 UK #1 All That I Need. Talking of the late 90s, fantastic one hit wonder The New Radicals appear with their one hit, Steps' highest entry is the ABBA-esque One For Sorrow and S Club 7's only entry is poppy debut single Bring It All Back!

 

Representing Sweden at Eurovision in two months, Sanna's Undo is already here after just a month and a half and certainly looking like one to watch in the future. And Eric Saade's 2011 entry Popular is here too! Another Swedish act here are Le Kid with one of late 2010's many highlights, the euphoric pop of We Should Go Home Together!

 

The hugely underrated Canadian singer Sarah McLachlan makes the first of three appearances, Zero 7 and Sia have another entry with the gorgeous Destiny, Gabriella Cilmi's sleeper hit Sweet About Me makes it in, Little Boots is up with the RedOne anthem Remedy and fellow dance-pop northener of a very different kind, Kelly Llorenna, pops up with the brilliantly trashy cover of Donna Summer's This Time I Know It's For Real!

 

Le Kid - We Should Go Home Together

 

 

Enya - Anywhere Is

174. Kylie Minogue - Get Outta My Way (2010 - #1)

175. Leddra Chapman - Story (2010 - #1)

 

It all gets a bit confusing here because having started my chart in 1999, I decided to retrospectively chart quite a few songs, hence the likes of Berri and Alex Party charting in 2000, a few Corrs songs charting in 1999 and Kelly Llorenna's Brighter Day charting in 2001! 90s leads the way in this section, and aside from the aformentioned dance classics there are brilliant appearances from DJ Jean, Tin Tin Out, Pet Shop Boys, Honeyz, Paula Cole, Sash!, Take That and Britpop act The Boo Radleys! Representing recent years are 2010 hits from Leddra Chapman and Kylie, 2012 smashes from Delta and Taylor Swift, Sheelah's iconic 2011 second Rontvian BJSC winner The Last Time and my euphoric top 3 placer from last May, Colors by Rivaz!

 

2003 makes very few appearances here as it was a largely shit year apart from the emergence of Delta but I certainly had some huge love for underrated singles by Puretone and Texas! KT Tunstall's Suddenly I See makes it into this section as does the first of three entries by Cascada and the almighty Flying The Flag (For You) by Scooch! Sorry Cyndi, I'm afraid I voted for Scooch in that national final #noregrets

149. Republica - Ready To Go (1997 - N/A)

150. Spice Girls - 2 Become 1 (1996 - N/A)

 

Kicking off the top half are a flood of 90s anthems - a gorgeous Xmas ballad from Spice Girls, Republica's ANTHEM, Robert Miles' gorgeous piano dance and Kylie's most underrated single to date, the indie-pop Manics-influenced brilliance of Some Kind Of Bliss.

 

Eurovision stuff in this section comes from 2011 entries from Nadine Beiler, Blue while dance classics come from Ian Van Dahl, Madison Avenue, Sash! and Energy 52! The almighty 2007 is represented by Colbie Caillat's gorgeous Realize, Leona Lewis' monumental Bleeding Love and whoops Nelly, I forgot one - it's her Timbaland and Justin collaboration, the brilliantly minimal Give It To Me.

 

The 80s are represented by ABBA twice, with the sensational The Winner Takes It All and Lay All Your Love On Me and Madonna with her seminal pop anthem Like A Prayer! Late 00s classics come from Alphabeat, The Sound of Arrows and Lady Gaga!

 

Others not mentioned are two from 1998 - Dreams by The Corrs, and the first single I ever bought, Always Have, Always Will by Ace Of Base! Eric Amarillo's Swedish club anthem Om Sanningen Ska Fram, Jo O'Meara's 2005 solo 'hit' What Hurts The Most and Clean Bandit's recent huge smash Rather Be also appear.

 

Ace Of Bace - Always Have, Always Will

124. Mason vs Princess Superstar - Perfect (Exceeder) (2006 - #1)

125. Texas - In Our Lifetime (1999 - N/A)

 

It's all about the 90s in the shortlist of songs that JUST missed out on being in my all time top 100. Representing the wonderful 1998 are Ace Of Base's happiness anthem Life Is A Flower and gorgeous girlband ballads from Spice Girls and B*Witched. Rewinding back a year to 1997 and another big girlband, it's the incredible I Wanna Be The Only One by Eternal and Bebe Winans, showing Eurovision songs how multiple key changes are done. All of Eternal are MILF's by the way, rocking it into their 40s, just saying!

 

From 1999 we have Texas' In Our Lifetime, ATB's Don't Stop and my very first hit parade #1, Jewel's Down So Long. Precious' Say It Again, the UK's 1999 Eurovision winner makes it to #119, it was a rare proper hit in the UK too! Jade Ewen's It's My Time was a mere top 30 'hit' despite finishing top 5 in ESC and Tanel & Dave's Everybody from Estonia in 2001 is hated by everyone, apart from me! Also representing 90s Eurovision is One More Time's new-age anthem Den Vilda, such a gorgeous song. And right back to the start of the 90s is Kylie's second best song to date, the brilliant What Do I Have To Do!

 

The 00s are represented by amazing dance songs from Mason vs Princess Superstar, Alice Deejay, DHT, Love Inc, Cascada and Rank 1 and five incredible fem-pop songs from Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Natasha Bedingfield, Rihanna, Delta Goodrem, Leona Lewis and Alicia Keys. The only song from the current decade in this section is Avicii's ubiquitous Wake Me Up, knocking on the door of the top 100 after being out for less than a year!

That last section before the top 100... flawless. Well, Everybody aside. :kink:

 

Wake Me Up, which never gets old, Try Sleeping.. which I'm sure will always remain one of my absolute favourites, the BEST Delta song in Electric Storm, Disturbia, Perfect (Exceeder), Viva Forever and Den Vilda, all beautiful.

 

I'm surprised by how well some 2014 songs are doing already, but then I guess Rather Be is just that good. :wub:

Glad you approve :wub: There are so many stunning songs in that section.

 

Rather Be was the highest 2014 song (although actually it was already in my top 5 at Xmas so I count it as debuting in 2013, I was leading THAT bandwagon!), there are a few to come from 2013 though, oops, I guess I hold things in high regard very quickly :lol:

I guess after a few months having a song in a three-digit placing isn't too bad at all if one loved it that much at the time and it was showing no signs of tiring, I would probably be just as bad for doing it myself if I ever get round to recompiling my own list (would probably put Rather Be in a similar position already with it looking to climb). There is such great music out there still and if it is really good, sure.

100. Avicii & Nicky Romero I Could Be the One (2013 - #1)

 

And now we move into the section of songs that have defined or truly soundtracked my life, hence most of them having peaked at #1 in my personal chart. The earliest songs in this part come from 1999 and brilliant hits from The Cardigans, Ann Lee and Thunderbugs, a band who had SO much potential that was never realised.

 

2000 representatives are Spiller's glorious smash Groovejet and Alice Deejay's trance curiosity The Lonely One. From 2001 a delightful but forgotten pop-garage song from Denada, 2002 has Kelly Llorenna's fantastic cover of Tell It To My Heart and the stunning summer 2005 hit trio from Daniel Power/Kelly Clarkson and Mariah Carey all fittingly appear together.

 

Carrie Underwood, The Veronicas (oops at the UK release that came 4 years too late making it look like they'd copied Pink :/), Nerina Pallot, Lily Allen, Daz Sampson and Rogue Traders are just six reasons why 2006 was SO amazing and all hit the top of my chart during that year. Groove Armada's 'somehow not a huge hit' Song 4 Mutya (that 'video' though...) and Fergie's actual big hit Big Girls Don't Cry represent 2007, Harlot Pear-air-lee's Sanna bashing schlager steamroller Hero is here for 2008 (the inspiration for my first class final dissertation about Europop no less!) and Jonjo's favourite Keri Hilson along with a couple of friends appear with the 2009 classic Knock You Down.

 

From 2010 there's Salem Al Fakir's hypnotising Keep On Walking and - no shame - Roll Deep's absolute TUNE and famous 'non #1' Green Light. And for more recent additions look no further than Rae Morris' absolutely gorgeous ballad Don't Go (FOURTEENTH in BJSC, did everyone have hearts made of stone that month!?), discovered via the final episode of a series of Skins (PLEASE can she be huge soon?), Janet Leon's Agnes-inspired pop thumper Heartstrings and Avicii's stunning chart topper I Could Be The One!

The Veronicas - 4Ever

 

 

Rae Morris - Don't Go

 

So much brilliant stuff here already Rich! Particularly loving 'Mine All Mine' and 'Hero'.

 

I predict #3 for 'Euphoria'. I don't think she'll quite manage it, not yet anyway!

LOVE You're A Superstar. Empowerment at its most maximal. Born This Way WHO?

 

Some incredible songs here, but that of course goes without saying.

Oh and how did I miss out mentioning Rather Be?! So deserved.

 

It's probably in my Top 10 of all time right now.

Thank you Rob! Yeah, I obviously love both Cascada songs but I do prefer Evacuate The Dancefloor, it's not well loved on BJ but I always had a big soft spot for it!

 

I thought Applause was great! Also, listen to Take Me To Church when you get a moment!

73. The Corrs - Summer Sunshine (#1 - 2004)

74. Natasha Bedingfield - These Words (#1 - 2004)

75. Delta Goodrem - Out Of The Blue (#1 - 2004)

 

Only a couple of 90s representative in this section, Forgiven Not Forgotten the sublime debut single from The Corrs and Eiffel 65's novelty earworm Blue (Da Ba Dee) from 1999.

 

From 2000 there's Fragma's classic dance anthem Toca's Miracle, Aurora's brilliant trance cover of Ordinary World, Synaesthesia by The Thrillseekers (one of the warmest trance songs ever made, how on EARTH was this not a major #1?) and Mariah Carey's most underrated single, the luscious Thank God I Found You. 2001 has Castles In The Sky from Ian Van Dahl and Atomic Kitten's eternally ridiculed, but lovely, cover of Eternal Flame. From 2002, Malta's Eurovision runner-up 7th Wonder by Ira Losco and ATC's Around The World (originally a Euro hit in 2000 before the polished UK remix took it to the top 15 two years later) and a Delta double from 2003 in the form of fourth single Not Me, Not I and the superb album track A Year Ago Today.

 

A trio of brilliant pop songs from 2004, underrated singles from Delta and The Corrs in Out Of The Blue and Summer Sunshine and the wonderfully quirky These Words, the UK #1 from Natasha Bedingfield. KT Tunstall's beautiful 2005 hit Other Side Of The World and the killer All Saints 2006 comeback single Rock Steady also feature in this section. Girls Aloud's career best for me and the general public, but nobody else on this forum, 2008 #1 The Promise is just shy of the top 50 and Alexander Rybak's Eurovision record-shattering Fairytale is here from 2009.

 

Stromae's 2010 global smash and UK mid-table curiosity, the hypnotising Alors On Danse is at #65, UK #1's from 2012, Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know and David Guetta/Sia's Titanium topped my chart long before this, both absolutely sensational recent million sellers! And from last year no less is Cascada's Eurovision flop the glorious Glorious and Lorde's Royals, just to please Bray, who would likely have it around 50 places higher in his countdown. Such a wonderfully minimalist song that packs such a punch, I don't get the indifferent reception to it on this forum at all.
