Commentary: I'd much rather not. I have no problems over-sexualised songs but this one is just crap. I see no redeeming qualities in this.

Peak: 02

Chart Run: 2-5-8-16-26-42-58-(x)-80 (8 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Sooner Or Later (#35)

 

 

Commentary: I don't mind Blue but I don't think Ducan was the best in the group. This sounds very Disney and not like a chart hit at all. Pleasant but not something I'd listen to.

Rating: 6.5/10

Peak: 14

Chart Run: 14-29-44-61 (4 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

Peak: 16

Chart Run: 16-26-34-40-53-72 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

Chart Run: 19-36-45-58-67-68-62 (7 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: By far my favourite version of Band Aid. From Dizzee's iconic rap to Bono belting out that famous line. I believe this is the first song I ever owned.

Chart Run: 2-1-2-4-12-27-33-38-44-64 (10 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: X-Factor winner songs are a guilty pleasure of mine and I do quite like this one. However, I always forget how this one goes until I'm listening to it. Does seem like a weird winner though, I think he has one of the worst voices.

Seagulls Ska - Tom Hark (We Want Falmer)

 

Peak: 17

Chart Run: 17-45-47 (3 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: A completely useless single which was to try and force the Brighton & Hove Albion to build their new stadium. It finally worked... 6 years later in 2011. The song isn't that bad and works well to the famous football tune.

Rating: 6/10

 

 

 

Soul Central ft Kathy Brown - Strings Of Life (Stronger On My Own)

Chart Run: 86-92-(x)-6-13-28-30-41-54-74 (9 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: This is a really great dance tune. Not one I was familiar with beforehand but I'm glad I've discovered this. I imagine the instrumental would be the better version though.

Peak: 04

Chart Run: 4-8-26-47 (4 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A
