Praying for 'Pure Shores'!

One of my favourite songs of all time, girl group or not. So many memories and emotions every time i listen :cry: Perfection, perfection, perfection.

 

Team 'About You Now' although 'Pure Shores' is very worthy too and definitely the more renowned song of the two.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE

It was close but in the end Sugababes take second place with the ever amazing 'About You Now'. After the slightly underwhelming Greatest Hits era everything looked set to be OK when 3.0 unleashed this mega hit on us. I don't know who this Totto thinks he is giving -1's to all these classics??

 

That means, against ALL THE ODDS...

YES! Who would've thought it! Well a staggering 20 11's and 12 10's 'Pure Shores' takes the crown and is Buzzjack's favourite girl band single of 2014. After the Saints were losing so many, let's be honest, terrible singles, things looked bleak for the Saints. But here we are with them having the winning single! It is SUCH a classic track I can't even argue with it winning. And I've been thinking about it since doing this results, but none of the other bands could do this song as well as All Saints could. They absolutely MAKE IT.

 

Before I finish, here are the averages for each girl band:

 

6th. All Saints / 6.82

5th. Little Mix / 6.84

4th. Sugababes / 6.86

3rd. The Saturdays / 7.41

2nd. Spice Girls / 7.44

1st. Girls Aloud / 7.5

 

I'll post a list of the entire top 100 shortly. Thank you to everyone who voted and commented for this rate. It's truly been a joy to revisit all these girlband classics and to see the results unfold and change with every vote was very exciting! I hope you've enjoyed it as much as me!

 

YASSSSSS :wub: that'd definitely be in my top 5 of the whole rate, such a classic, perfect song.

 

 

Thanks for this Adam, it's been good to have my memory jogged of some of these songs!

Surprised to see it win, and I'm disappointed for About You Now, but still, good winner! About You Now is definitely my favourite girlband song ever.

 

THANKS FOR HOSTING THIS ALL ADAM, it's been absolutely flawless and amazingly hosted. You really need to win BJSC soon.

Great winner :D

Surprised to see it win, and I'm disappointed for About You Now, but still, good winner! About You Now is definitely my favourite girlband song ever.

 

THANKS FOR HOSTING THIS ALL ADAM, it's been absolutely flawless and amazingly hosted. You really need to win BJSC soon.

 

You always seem to back the runner-up Rob! Whether it's rates, BJSC or Melodifestivalen! :lol:

 

Here's hoping this month's fabulous pop track takes Sandebörg all the way! :wub:

This has been such an event, loved going back to all these gems and thanks for hosting Adam!

 

Fabulous winner and top 3 overall <33

I really am! :( I actually think I put the kiss of death on these things.

Could have been better winners but it's still a good song. Big thanks for doing this (and so quick :o)!

'Pure Shores' is by far All Saints best song. :wub: So pleased it beat 'About You Now'. :D

What a terrific winner! 'Pure Shores' is absolutely perfect. :wub:

 

Thanks so much for doing this rate Adam, it's been very enjoyable! :D

YES for Pure Shores winning :wub: That song brings back so many memories, I always forget just how good it is. It has aged surprisingly well too.

 

Thanks for doing this Adam, honestly one of the best countdowns on here in a while I think.

After all of this, i think i have finally seen the light for 'Holler' too :drama: Michael's impact? :S

 

Now i really need to dig out Sugababes/All Saints discographies and get listening too...

2 Overrated tracks as the top 2 imo beating 3 amazing songs at #3,#4 and #5 but each to their own.

After all of this, i think i have finally seen the light for 'Holler' too :drama: Michael's impact? :S

 

Now i really need to dig out Sugababes/All Saints discographies and get listening too...

You would love All Saints I think, the majority of their material has aged pretty well too.

'Pure Shores' is an absolute wonderful winner. Definitely one of the best girlband songs of all time.

 

Notable mention for 'Sound Of The Underground' and 'Too Lost In You' doing so well and also Girls Aloud getting the highest discography average despite only having 1 song in top 14.

Not Totto giving -1's to all the best songs :drama:

 

Thanks for doing this countdown Adam! It was flawless apart from the winner

Oh my, I would've never have predicted that winner but what an amazing song and worthy winner, probably my favourite song in the whole rate :wub: Actually really happy with each act's highest song, they're all really great. Little Mix excepted it must be said, DNA has aged really badly and isn't anything on Move, REALLY shocked those two weren't in each other's places.

 

Excellently hosted Adam, this has been quite the success!
