February 15, 201510 yr Author #39: Love Runs Out by OneRepublic 0OWj0CiM8WU Year of release: 2014 Peak: #3 This was apparently going to be the first single from Native, but Ryan Tedder couldn't finish the chorus. "And you can't have a song without a chorus." he said. You can, actually. Simply do more or less the same line 24 times over, give it a title which is never said in the song, and you have a song without a chorus. A crap song yes, but still a song. And a number one single for two weeks, despite having far more deserving of the top spot competition in Won't Look Back and Superheroes for the second week at number one.
February 15, 201510 yr Author #38: Ready For Your Love by Gorgon City featuring MNEK 8B93tgRxMuE Year of release: 2014 Peak: #4 Gorgon City's first top 40 hit, this was the 59th biggest song of 2014. Unfortunately follow-ups Here For You, Unmissable and Go All Night all failed to replicate its success.
February 16, 201510 yr Author #37: Comeback by Ella Eyre KnnvfHz7qzA Year of release: 2014 Peak: #12 Ella Eyre's second top 20 as a lead artist, Comeback unfortunately missed the top 10 due to streaming.
February 16, 201510 yr Author #36: The Power by Snap! nm6DO_7px1I Year of release: 1990 Peak: #1 The first single by German band Snap!, this was number one for two weeks and was the tenth best-seller of 1990.
February 16, 201510 yr Author #35: I Will Never Let You Down by Rita Ora 50GQjUZ4P3M Year of release: 2014 Peak: #1 With this song Rita Ora tied Geri Halliwell for most number one singles by a British female (though they have since been surpassed by Cheryl Fernandez-Versini).
February 17, 201510 yr Author #34: All Fired Up by The Saturdays KdtIfp7WB0w Year of release: 2011 Peak: #3 2011: #14 The Saturdays's best single, All Fired Up peaked at 3 behind Moves Like Jagger and All About Tonight by Pixie Lott (ironically, Frankie Birdge from the Saturdays and Pixie Lott also competed in the recent series of Strictly Come Dancing, although this time Pixie came 6th and Frankie 2nd).
February 17, 201510 yr Author #33: Count The Saints by Foxes i4JzW2q9qjs Year of release: 2014 Peak: N/A An album track (in fact the highest in the countdown, not counting Mirror Man which is about to become a single anyway) from Foxes's glorious debut album Glorious.
February 17, 201510 yr Author #32: Not Giving Up by The Saturdays gBoXld4URfk Year of release: 2013 Peak: #19 I listened to this a lot when it was released, then kinda forgot about it during the summer, and got back into it in the build-up to the school run (in which I came 86th out of 149).
February 18, 201510 yr Author #31: What Are You Waiting For? by The Saturdays ahdmNS9Nkm0 Year of release: 2014 Peak: #38 The Saturdays's most recent single, What Are You Waiting For? was also their lowest-peaking.

February 18, 201510 yr Author #30: These Days by Take That I43R3jIFE74 Year of release: 2014 Peak: #1 Showing just how badly Do They Know It's Christmas? (2014) did, despite sales of under 65,000 copies These Days nabbed Take That their 12th number one ahead of it in the former's second week, serving justice, as this is much better than the fourth version of DTKIC.
February 18, 201510 yr Author #29: Happy by Pharrell Williams ZbZSe6N_BXs Year of release: 2013 Peak: #1 2013: #23 One massive hit (Get Lucky) wasn't enough, so a second (Blurred Lines) came up. So a third Pharrell Williams million-seller arrived: Happy, from the animated film Despicable Me 2 (and his band N.E.R.D. did a song for The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water, so he just might be wanting to repeat the formula for this, though it's not going anywhere right now.)
February 18, 201510 yr Author #28: Changes by FAUL & Wad Ad vs. Pnau Cj25UpcBDt0 Year of release: 2013 Peak: #3 Despite dropping out very quickly during its original run, this soon after soared back up and actually spent more weeks in the top 100 in its second run.
February 19, 201510 yr Author #27: Braveheart by Neon Jungle 3iJeEAZM5xk Year of release: 2014 Peak: #4 Neon Jungle's second single, this reached the top 5, and was one of the 100 best-sellers of 2014.
February 19, 201510 yr Author #26: Word Up! by Cameo MZjAantupsA Year of release: 1986 Peak: #3 This came to my attention after its cover by Little Mix (placed #164).
February 19, 201510 yr Author #25: Hall Of Fame by The Script featuring will.i.am. mk48xRzuNvA Year of release: 2012 Peak: #1 2012: #3 2013: #9 The Script's first number one, this unfortunately attracted a lot of hate on the site. Honestly, I don't get this Script vendetta (or the Something I Need vendetta either), especially considering that what knocked this off number one is the worst song of all-time.
February 19, 201510 yr Author #24: Don't You Want Me by The Human League uPudE8nDog0 Year of release: 1981 Peak: #1 One of the biggest-selling singles ever (and the third best-selling in the countdown), Don't You Want Me re-entered the top 20 in April after a campaign by a football club.
