August 14, 201410 yr Author 181 Sara Bareilles - Gravity 182 Leona Lewis - Happy 183 Shania Twain - That Don't Impress Me Much 184 Kelly Clarkson - I Do Not Hook Up 185 No Doubt - It's My Life 186 Little Boots - Remedy 187 Hilary Duff - So Yesterday 188 JoJo - Leave (Get Out) 189 Beyoncé ft. Shakira - Beautiful Liar 190 Pussycat Dolls ft. A.R. Rahman - Jai Ho (You Are My destiny) This next set is very 00s orientated, but pretty varied. Shania Twain represents the 90s here with one of her most famous songs, the hugely quotable That Don't Impress Me Much. Other than that we have some Bollywood beats from the Pussycat Dolls, the first of a good few Kelly Clarkson entries, a star studded collab from Beyoncé and Shakira and some teen-pop heartbreak from JoJo. A stunning tracks that less known than the rest here are Sara Bareilles' Gravity, a stunning piano ballad that failed to impact any notable charts upon release as the 3rd single from her album Little Voice.
August 14, 201410 yr Love happy so much, wish it went to number 1. It is one of Leona's best Remedy, I do not hook up, jai ho and Beauitful liar are all amazing as well
August 19, 201410 yr Author 180 Tove Stryke - White Light Moment 179 Spice Girls - Wannabe 178 Katy Perry - Teenage Dream 177 Janet Jackson - Together Again 176 ABBA - Mamma Mia 175 Cast Of High School Musical - Breaking Free 174 Adele - Hometown Glory 173 Roxette - Listen To Your Heart 172 Amy Winehouse - You Know I'm No Good 171 Selena Gomez & The Scene - Naturally This next set of 10 is quite the Swedish storm! At #180 is a criminally overlooked pop gem from Tove Stryke, known by many as the "BJSC winner that never was", which sadly never received a proper UK push but still sent the blogs into overdrive - and rightfully so! Also representing Sweden is a much better known song, ABBA's 1975 #1 Mamma Mia, which is well regarded as a pop classic and one of ABBA's best songs! Also casting our minds back to appreciate Sweden's greatest exports from the past is #173, Roxette's epic rock power ballad Listen To Your Heart, which was covered by trance act DHT in recent years and became a top 10 hit again! Huge career defining anthems from Spice Girls and Janet Jackson make sure the 90s don't go unrepresented in this section, whilst High School Musical is arguably the biggest guilty pleasure on my list :lol:
August 19, 201410 yr 179 Spice Girls - Wannabe 178 Katy Perry - Teenage Dream 176 ABBA - Mamma Mia 175 Cast Of High School Musical - Breaking Free 174 Adele - Hometown Glory 173 Roxette - Listen To Your Heart 172 Amy Winehouse - You Know I'm No Good 171 Selena Gomez & The Scene - Naturally Wow to all of them. But Selena. OMG *.* One of my all time fave tracks. EVER. LIKE REALLY. EVER.
August 19, 201410 yr Teenage Dream was my #1 when I did this, glad it made your top 200. What a pop masterpiece, not sure she'll ever top it for me though ET and Dark Horse have come close.
August 19, 201410 yr 'Teenage Dream' and 'You Know I'm No Good' are the major standouts for me here, although I do love a bit of 'Wannabe' and HSM is a total guilty pleasure as well :kink: Brill stuff <3
August 22, 201410 yr Author 170 P!nk - I Don't Believe You 169 Miranda Lambert - White Liar 168 Lady Gaga - Alejandro 167 Natalie Imbruglia - Torn 166 Colbie Caillat - Fallin' For You 165 Avril Lavigne - I'm With You 164 Ashley Tisdale - It's Alright, It's OK 163 Delta Goodrem - Born To Try 162 Dixie Chicks - Not Ready To Make Nice 161 B*Witch'd - C'est la vie Just a little higher than her rival Gabriella Montez, Sharpay Evans aka Ashley Tisdale gets revenge for not getting that lead part in the school musical by finishing higher in my all time fave songs list with her pop-rock "I don't give a f***" anthem It's Alright, It's OK :kink: I like to think this section has something for everyone, a bit of sassy Miranda Lambert for angry country lovers, some reflective and emotional Dixie Chicks for those of us who love a good old country ballad, lovestruck summery guitar pop from Colbie Calliat, a 90s classic from Natalie Imbruglia, a Latin infused huge pop song from Lady Gaga and even some major cheese from B*Witch'd, which is fitting as Edele Lynch entered the Celebrity Big House on Monday!
August 22, 201410 yr 'Alejandro' and 'I'm With You' :wub: Two of my favourite artists in Gaga and Avril, and both taken from my favourite albums of theirs, yay! <3
August 22, 201410 yr Amazing section there, 'I Don't Believe You' and 'Born To Try' are stunning and probably my faves out of those. I'm still soooooooo, so disappointed that IDBY didn't end up as a single! Great to see the Dixie Chicks on the list, and 'White Liar' to state the obvious...
August 24, 201410 yr Author 'Alejandro' and 'I'm With You' :wub: Two of my favourite artists in Gaga and Avril, and both taken from my favourite albums of theirs, yay! <3 I really dislike Avril, as you probably know as I feel like I say it loads on the forum :lol: Gaga is a queen though obviously *.* Amazing section there, 'I Don't Believe You' and 'Born To Try' are stunning and probably my faves out of those. I'm still soooooooo, so disappointed that IDBY didn't end up as a single! Great to see the Dixie Chicks on the list, and 'White Liar' to state the obvious... IDBY was a single :P It only got to #117 in the US and #62 in the UK though, which is a shame as it's so so gorgeous <3 NRTMN is definitely my fave Dixie Chicks song, so heartfelt given what they faced with the controversy from their comments about George Bush and America for years at the time!
August 24, 201410 yr Author 160 Olly Murs ft. Flo Rida - Troublemaker 159 Blondie - Maria 158 The Saturdays - Work 157 Jordin Sparks - One Step At A Time 156 LIGHTS - Ice 155 M.I.A. - Paper Planes 154 Delta Goodrem - Predictable 153 Madonna - Frozen 152 Charlotte Perrelli - Hero 151 Beyoncé ft. Jay-Z - Crazy In Love Kicking off this set of 10 is the first entry for the perfect Olly Murs and his rightfully award winning rear, which is actually the newest song in this countdown! Also here are two 90s #1s by Blondie and Madonna, the latter of which is particular well regarded and remembered, as well as Delta Goodrem's final (and best) Innocent Eyes single, which was sadly never released in the UK despite following 4 top 20 singles including 3 top 10s, but it was her 5th consecutive Aussie #1 from the album. Eurovision also features for the first time in this countdown, as Sweden 2008's Charlotte Perrelli sits at #152 with her 18th place SMASH Hero. Finally, I must show my love for horrifically underrated Lights, as her gorgeous quirky track Ice is at #156. I would compare it to Ellie Goulding or Marina & The Diamonds, but that's quite tenuous... It's a song that you have to hear to know what it's all about really.[/promo]
August 24, 201410 yr So far behind so I need to catch up 174-176 are classics for me and so is wannabe I love Alejandro, I'm with you (beautiful song), one step at a time and work :wub:
August 24, 201410 yr LOVE 'Troublemaker', 'Paper Planes', 'Crazy In Love' and 'One Step At a Time' :wub: Yay Olly <3
August 24, 201410 yr Author 150 Mini Viva - Left My Heart In Tokyo 149 Beyoncé - Halo 148 Robyn - Be Mine! 147 Girls Aloud - Call The Shots 146 Whitney Houston - All The Man That I Need 145 P!nk - Who Knew 144 Martina McBride - Independence Day 143 ABBA - SOS 142 Marina & The Diamonds - Hollywood 141 Daniel Bedingfield - Gotta Get Thru This A MALE DANCE SONG :o Yep, you're seeing this right. #141 is the garage influenced #1 Gotta Get Thru This by Daniel Bedingfield, a change from the slew of female pop! However, female pop fans still have lots of love here, as another ABBA classic, SOS, shines in this section, as well as a lesson in polished electropop from the critically and commercially successful girlband Girls Aloud. All this, plus a hugely under appreciated (UK chart wise anyway, it was a #1 in the US and came 2nd recently in her singles rate here) Whitney ballad and a forgotten pop gem from the now defunct (STILL NEED THAT ALBUM :() duo Mini Viva, a somewhat surprising top 10 hit from 2009.
August 24, 201410 yr Surprised to see 'Ice' in there! VERY good song but I've always preferred 'Saviour' and especially 'Drive My Soul'. I don't suppose either one is coming later :o 'One Step At A Time' is a great one too! The entire melody is terrific, I love the line "we live and we learn" right before the chorus. Like most of Jordin's singles it deserved to be a bigger smash. ...oh now I see I'm a post behind :kink: 'Who Knew' and 'Independence Day' are my faves in that section!
