Not quite sure how Beat Again is more remembered than Hot Right Now or Talk Dirty? Never heard anyone play that JLS song, whearas even my mum knows the other two and my friends/work colleagues play them all the time.

59. Miley Cyrus- We Can't Stop 6.66 (15 of 29 for 13)

59. David Guetta Ft Akon- Sexy Bitch 6.66 (12 of 33 for 09)

58. La Roux- Bulletproof 6.78 (11 of 33 for 09)

57. Olly Murs- Dance With Me Tonight 6.892857143 (12 of 30 for 11)

56. Jessie J- Domino 6.980769231 (12 of 36 for 12)

 

Starting off this section is Miley Cyrus with her worst era yet. We Can't Stop featured a terrible video [that looked like a masterpiece compared to a later song of hers] and was a pretty bland and useless pop song. I wouldn't be surprised to see this song near the bottom of this countdown if it wasn't for Miley's transformation. Sexy Bitch was one of those rare songs that I think went OA/OS [or it was rush released] and also climbed to #1. It was an ok song but a disappointment by Guetta after the amazing When Love Takes Over. Olly Murs has made 2 fantastic and amazing songs- busy and dance with me tonight- the latter of which features in 57th place with an average of 6.89. Dance With Me Tonight is really catchy and a great pop song to listen to and it also inspiried the amazing Dear Future Husband.

 

Back to when Jessie J made amazing songs is the 2012 number 1 Domino which ended up one of the biggest sellers of the year. Domino was a fun and another catchy song in this section. And onto the song of the section we arrive at the 11th most remembered #1 of 2009 which is La Roux's Bulletproof. Bulletproof was the 2nd single to do any chart business from the album and was La Roux's 1st and sadly only number 1. In For The Kill still remains their best song and so nearly went to the top

 

And it's Chez I am going to guess next but I don't know :kink:

 

Song Of The Section:

http://i60.tinypic.com/3rles.jpg

 

51. Justin Timberlake- Mirrors 7.1 (13/29 for 2013)

 

We're approaching the big songs now that certainly weren't non number 1s but perhaps aren't quite well remembered enough to be considered modern classics. Mirrors, JT's non-buzz single comeback was wonderful, trademark of his sound and filled with the slick and emotional style that was captured his best moments over the 00s. It was one of the few long runners at number 1 in 2013 so it's quite odd perhaps that it's not seen amongst the top songs of 2013, but I s'pose you can't say it's forgotten just yet, Kiss FM probably won't be giving it up for years yet...

 

http://i60.tinypic.com/103an1i.jpg

 

52. B.o.B Ft Hayley Williams- Airplanes 7.057692308 (9/34 for 2010)

 

Definitely far more of a convincing introduction to B.o.B than Nothin' On You ever was, Airplanes wasn't exactly groundbreaking as far as pop-rap ballads go but the talents of the then still fairly under the radar Hayley Williams were used to great effect here. It far outsold it's predecessor and was one of the biggest selling number 1s of the year. Despite a rather good start to his chart career, B.o.B was just a bit too non-descript to capture the public's imagination again and thus far, has failed to have any more of his work remain in public collective memory.

 

http://i57.tinypic.com/1054aw9.jpg

 

53. Olly Murs Ft Rizzle Kicks- Heart Skips A Beat 7.053571429 (11/30 for 2011)

 

The question whether Olly could remain the momentum of his first era was instantly cast aside when this came along. Heart Skips a Beat is just really how a fun and catchy pop record should be done and even the rap verse doesn't feel completely pointless. I will admit that I hear Dance With Me Tonight a lot more than this these days, but for me at least, it's still definitely his high point.

 

http://i59.tinypic.com/2ywd4yd.jpg

 

54. Rudimental Ft Ella Eyre- Waiting All Night 7.04 (14/29 for 2013)

 

Rudimental proved what was quite hard for a dance act to do and managed another big number 1 hit that actually was almost as big for them as Feel The Love. It remains to be seen whether Waiting All Night can become as much as a potential modern day classic as their previous number 1, though I can only hope not as it really is vastly inferior. What it could be is the only song with vocals from Ella Eyre that will live on in the public's memory, bless her.

 

http://i61.tinypic.com/2mzwj92.jpg

 

55. Florence + The Machine- Spectrum 7.038461538 (11/36 for 2012)

 

Just missing out on the top 10 most remembered number 1s of 2012 is the first huge hit for FloMac, with a little help from Calvin Harris, an album track that would've probably struggled to get top 10 otherwise into a big selling number 1. A rare collaboration that allows both the producer and singer to both work their magic to produce something special, so much so that Calvin attempted to repeat the formula a few months later. Gawsh though, FloMac, get on with some new material already.

This will not turn into the floppiness of the 2013 Points Chart results people, don't worry ~

46. Lily Allen - The Fear 7.24 (10 of 33 for ’09)

47. Yolanda Be Cool & D Cup - We Speak No Americano 7.153846154 (8 of 34 for ’10)

-

 

Me not working hard? Yeah right, picture that with a kodak. B-) Or better yet, go to Times Square. Take a picture of me with a kodak. Those are the #ic0nic opening lines of Pitbull's 'Give Me Everything', which also opens the top 50 part of the most remembered #1 hits of the past 5 years. A typical Pitbull song with dance-pop production, with this style being big in 2011 of course it was going to be big. It actually went on to sell a million, but that's more down to the big sales climate than the actual lasting appeal of it, and as a song it's not amongst the top few remembered songs of 2011, and in many years time it'll be Pitbull himself and his rapping style and catchphrases that will be more remembered than his actual songs themselves.

 

Up next it's Labrinth, and after 'Earthquake' being a massive smash hit it was unlikely that he'd ever get another song as big as that, but 'Beneath Your Beautiful' proved any doubters wrong, being shot to #1 after an X Factor performance, and remaining high in the chart due to its appeal as a winter ballad and the UK's love for Emeli Sandé, who he duets with on the track. With Labrinth about to do another X Factor performance, he could easily get another smash in 'Jealous', although its chances of going to #1 are very small with Band Aid 30 dominating.

 

Emeli Sandé has 2 songs in a row here, reminds me of when she used to perform on 2 major TV shows in a row, anyway this was arguably the moment where she really blew up as a solo artist, being featured on a Professor Green track but with her chorus being the real selling point here, further proved by the success of her solo version of this song. As a song itself I'm not a big fan, it got boring fast.

 

The amazing We No Speak Americano, my personal favourite song of 2010, is at #47. I was very pleased to see it doing so well and whilst it doesn't get played much now I'm sure it'd be instantly recognisable by many when it does. Both artists on the song never got a follow-up hit, to be expected, but that hasn't hurt it here as it's comfortably in the top 50.

 

Lily Allen finishes the section with The Fear, her 2nd #1. One of her best songs and most remembered too alongside Smile and Not Fair. It got 4 weeks at #1 which seems very good but it doesn't seem to have the lasting appeal of a song with that long a stay at #1. Its lyrics are certainly interesting anyway so it will at least be remembered by some for that.

45. Jennifer Lopez Ft Pitbull- On The Floor 7.410714286 (8 of 30 for ’11)

44. The Black Eyed Peas- Boom Boom Pow 7.46 (9 of 33 for ’09)

43. Rage Against The Machine- Killing In The Name 7.48 (8 of 33 for ’09)

42. Bruno Mars- Grenade 7.517857143 (7 of 30 for ’11)

 

This section features 3 career highs, one of the most famous chart battles ever and the biggest band of 2009.

 

Starting us off this section [and 500 other inferior collaborations between the pair] is Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull with the amazing On The Floor- in my view a career best for both artists. The song debuted with a massive 133k, spent 2 weeks at number 1 and knocked a very unknown song off the top spot. The song still sounds great today, especially that infectious chorus. The other career best in this section is the 7th most remembered song from 2011 [and the 7th biggest selling song of 2011] in the form of Grenade from Bruno Mars which is a beautiful ballad. This was another big number 1 spending 2 weeks at number 1 with sales over 100k in both weeks and selling 850k in 2011.

 

The Black Eyed Peas were the biggest band in 2009 scoring 3 number 1's and the first of them- Boom Boom Pow- is the 2nd to fall in 44th place with a good average of 7.46. And even though the song is terrible, due to a massive facebook campaign, Killing In The Name beat the X-Factor to #1 in one of the biggest chart battles of all time.

 

And it's Chez next with 6 songs as we have a joint 40th. Predictions?

 

Song Of The Section:

Edited November 28, 201410 yr by Ultraviolence1989

http://i61.tinypic.com/t5gnzp.jpg

 

36. Lady Gaga Ft Beyonce- Telephone 7.769230769 (6/34 for 2010)

 

Just missing the top 5 (!) most remembered number 1s of 2010 according to Buzzjack is the at-the-time much anticipated megastar duet between Lady Gaga and Beyonce (well in truth the second after the better best forgotten Videophone a few months back) The names alone were enough to get it to number 1 but that was backed up by quite a notable, to put it lightly, video to ensure it trounced all competition. For all it's big names and very solid sales, as a song itself, you'd be hard pressed to say it was amongst the best of either artist's huge back catalogue and definitely hasn't aged as well as some of them.

 

http://i61.tinypic.com/2hnta82.jpg

 

37. Rihanna Ft Drake- What's My Name 7.75 (6/30 for 2011)

 

Rihanna's second single from Loud only further cemented her newly found status as one of the biggest, stratospheric female stars in the world. A more R'n'B inspired and lyrically raunchy (square root of 69 anyone?) number than Only Girl..., it had no problem shooting to the top of the charts at the beginning of the year and selling very well throughout the year. It may not be the most remembered out of Rihanna's vast back catalogue, but I think it's definitely somewhat intact in public memory and perhaps opened the gateway for a slightly more explicit Rihanna from 2011 onwards...

 

http://i62.tinypic.com/11kxyr4.jpg

 

38. Ellie Goulding- Burn 7.74 (11/29 for 2013)

 

It's Ellie Goulding's first EVER number 1 in her INSANELY LONG career!!11 Having released a generally quite experimental and dark album with Halcyon and still yet to score a massive hit out of it, it was only inevitable that she'd sell out completely and release a Ryan Tedder-penned, poppy and radio friendly single that could be sung by pretty much anyone, nonetheless it worked in her favour, earning her a number 1 over here and even making a splash in the States. It did, if anything, turn her into a big name in current British music and made her an all round competent commercial pop star. Shoulda been My Blood tho :'(

 

http://i58.tinypic.com/9sw6fk.png

 

39. Tinie Tempah Ft Eric Turner- Written In The Stars 7.634615385 (7/34 for 2010)

 

There was a time when Tinie Tempah wasn't completely pointless and actually was one of the leading names in British pop/rap. Written In The Stars, featuring vocals from Eric Turner, was a change of pace for him, an anthemic and heartfelt ode to his earlier days and rise to fame. Definitely a last hurrah for him thus far at least as he would go on to attempt to recreate it next time around, and still largely present today as the standard 'dramatic'/'journey' style music on montages, it was one of 2010's better number 1s.

 

http://i58.tinypic.com/r2s1fm.jpg

 

(=) 40. David Guetta Ft Kelly Rowland- When Love Takes Over 7.62 (7/33 for 2009)

 

David Guetta is a fairly big name nowadays which has unfortunately allowed him to make some of the laziest dance tunes of the past few years and still manage to get a hit out of it, but this was undeniably the moment he went from fairly well known DJ to big name as it was his first UK number 1 and hit after hit followed since. It was a very good, quite anthemic summery dance number (even if the piano completely ripped off Coldplay's Clocks), I must admit the areas I frequent tend to favour the follow up, Sexy Bitch to this in terms of airplay but I guess Buzzjack thinks differently (or just wants to deny Akon ever existed, who can blame 'em?)

 

http://i61.tinypic.com/10glm5j.jpg

 

(=) 40. Macklemore Ft Ryan Lewis- Thrift Shop 7.62 (12/29 for 2013)

 

Tying at 40th place is one of the first big hits of last year by the then completely unknown Macklemore and Ryan Lewis with their ode to second hand goods. It reached number 1 in early 2013 making it one of the few independent artists to achieve a number 1 single. Fairly 'novelty' in it's subject matter, it's nonetheless quite an infectious, sax lead number, it also inspired

which will surely make it go down in history as the trigger to one of the best things that ever happened to music. Macklemore, with a little help with Ryan Lewis, would go on to prove those thinking this was a gimmick and that he'd be a one hit wonder wrong with some more deeper and personal songs later in the year.

Edited November 30, 201410 yr by Chez Wombat

that Kidz Bop cover of Thrift Shop :lol: they really know how to make a song hilariously awful

soz bout the delé~ here's your 34 through to 31!

31. Rudimental Ft John Newman- Feel The Love 8.134615385 (9 of 36 for ’12)

32. Naughty Boy Ft Sam Smith- La La La 7.98 (8 of 29 for ’13)

33. Lady Gaga- Just Dance 7.86 (6 of 33 for ’09)

34. Icona Pop Ft Charli XCX- I Love It 7.84 (9 of 29 for ’13)

34. John Newman- Love Me Again 7.84 (9 of 29 for ’13)

 

-

 

At #34 we have ARGH NEED TER NOA NAAAH and Car Crash, funny enough they tie as they were released just one week apart from each other, with each getting its turn at being #1. I like both of them, Icona Pop moreso, and they've been remembered quite well, whether they can still remain in the public consciousness after a few more years remains to be seen.

 

Lady GaGa with her debut single enters at #33, it's been overshadowed a fair bit by the more successful followups Poker Face and Bad Romance but it was a big hit in its own right too and for that it gets it a respectable position in the countdown.

 

One of the biggest hits of last year and the song that got Sam Smith lots of popularity (if he didn't already have enough from Latch), helping his solo career to be huge in 2014. Poor Naughty Boy only had diminishing returns after this though, and I imagine most people will recognise this as a Sam Smith song now. If only he didn't release a sub-par Emeli Sandé collab (his millionth collab with her, by the way) as the follow-up. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/rip_zpsec10ede9.gif

 

Double Sir Newman in this section, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ed2305b7.png as we have his Rudimental collab next. For many Buzzjack users it will be best known for dethroning Loreen from the iTunes #1 spot, but also for being a brilliant tune in itself. It was great to have a new drum n bass act topping the chart and with a song as good as this one too. Really glad it's managed to stick in public memory too.

30. Miley Cyrus- Wrecking Ball 8.3 (7 of 29 for ’13)

29. Lorde- Royals 8.32 (6 of 29 for ’13)

28. Fun- We Are Young 8.442307692 (8 of 36 for ’12)

27. Swedish House Mafia- Don't You Worry Child 8.519230769 (7 of 36 for ’12)

 

And the last section before we count down the worst remembered songs of the last 5 years features 2 from 2012 and 2 from 2013.

Starting us off is Wrecking Ball which is a great song but has definitely one of the worst videos of the last few years. The video and Miley's transformation this year are probably the 2 reasons this did so well but I wish it was her #11 hits and 7 Things that were this big.

 

Lorde's amazing Royals slots in at 29 with a fantastic average of 8.32 and nearly became a shock qualifier. It's nice when a song like this becomes a big hit.

Fun are at 28 with their massive smash hit We Are Young which spent about a million years in the top 10 let alone the top 40. Anyway it did seem it would be more remembered a couple of years ago but like most of the biggest sellers from that year, the artist has just disappeared.

At 27 is the diabolical last single from Swedish House Mafia which only sounds good when it is slowed down

 

So the worst songs will be starting soon so please remember to submit votes in those sections :)

And this will be continuing this weekend with the countdown of the bottom 16. Predictions?

 

(And sorry for the major delay :kink: All my fault :kink:)

And we are back, continuing the results that even I forgot were still happening. Oops. Let's get on with it~

 

LEAST REMEMBERED

 

http://s9.postimg.org/u8m0ugl1n/Storm_Queen_Look_Right_Through.jpghttp://s9.postimg.org/mtwp22z63/Get_up_Rattle.jpghttp://s9.postimg.org/dbwy21dhn/220px_Stay_Awake_svg.pnghttp://s9.postimg.org/kqm9uezd7/image.jpg

 

16. Storm Queen - Look Right Through (MK Remix) 5.76

15. Bingo Players - Get Up (Rattle) (feat. Far East Movement) 4.28

13. Example - Stay Awake 3.52

13. Sam Bailey - Skyscraper 3.52

 

Storm Queen got a big club smash thanks to MK on the remix and ever since has disappeared again, having not released a single since. Unfortunately the song seems to be quite forgotten already too, it's one of my favourite songs of the decade but it was a bit of a non-#1 in the UK, though its chart run and sales were decent.

 

Bingo Players, whilst they were still a duo, got a #1 which didn't spent that long in the chart and wasn't anywhere near the top 40 sellers of the year. A few low sales January weeks and nothing else out secured its position however. Such a shame that it got a pointless rap added to it but it probably would've done worse in its instrumental form.

 

Not sure exactly how Stay Awake went to #1, but luckily it did, but unlike Changed... it was out the chart after 2 months signalling the start of Example's downfall. He would only go on to have one more big hit after this and that was as a featured artist.

 

Sam Bailey did a karaoke version of Demi Lovato hit Skyscraper, and turned it from a boring screechfest into a borefest. Which is an improvement but still not something I liked much.

Loved Stay Awake at the time :heart:

 

Example was never going to be as big as he was in 2011 though, he was everywhere that year!
