2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Comment: I kinda miss the X Factor Finalists songs. It's quite fun to watch them back and see how many you can remember. The songs were pretty average but who isn't glad to see Eoghan Quigg get a number 1?

Kardinal Offishall ft Akon - Dangerous

 

Peak: 16

Chart Run: 56-43-46-32-21-16-16-18-23-26-34-54-39-48-49-41-47-60-70-73-87-90-91-86-83-100 (26 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Numba 1 (Tide Is High) (#84)

 

 

Comment: I can't believe this missed the top 10. This is massive and holds up surprisingly brilliantly seeming most of Akon's stuff sounds cheesy now. Kardinal is really underrated.

Same Difference - We R One

 

Peak: 13

Chart Run: 13-30-66-97 (4 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Shine On Forever (Photo Frame) (#100)

 

 

Comment: I have no recollection of them ever having a career after X Factor. Hearing this I'm glad I never. So bad that even one the Disney shows like Camp Rock would reject it.

yay someone else who hates that Same Difference song :cheer:

 

Quite a few people on here seem to love it, for some reason :wacko:

BandAged - Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth

 

Peak: 03

Chart Run: 3-13-73 (3 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Comment: With king of the 2016 UK album chart, Aled Jones teaming up with Terry Wogan (R.I.P.) for a charity single it was never going to be a masterpiece but it's pleasant enough. There has certainly been worse songs for charity.

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

 

Peak: 02

Chart Run: 99-65-81-(x)-74-(x)-59-96-(x)-99-(x)-98-50-50-49-43-30-2-7-22-33-40-51-75-90-86 (22 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Everybody Here Wants You (#43)

 

 

Comment: I do really like the song Hallelujah. I prefer this verison to the Alexandra Burke one but John Cale's from Shrek is my favourite. This version if still great to listen to though. It's such a shame that Buckley died so young, he had such a great voice.

2009

 

Coming soon.

A very interesting year this one, as it was the year I joined high school.

Only 28 one hit wonders though. There was 60 in 2000, 2001 & 2002.

You missed one from 2005...

 

Freeloaders vs The Real Thing - So Much love To Give

 

The Philip George - Wish you Were mine of its day but much better imo :)

It makes Camp Rock look legendary compared to them. Awful in every way.

Thanks, I'll have to go back and look at that at some point. :D

Kevin Rudolf ft Lil Wayne - Let It Rock

 

Peak: 05

2nd Highest Hit: I Made It (Cash Money Heroes) (#37)

 

 

Comment: It already sounds very dated, but this is one sounded amazing at the time. It is a bit cheesy really with Rudolf desperately pretending to be cool but it's a song I thoroughly enjoy. This might not be the last we see of Wayne is this countdown.

2nd Highest Hit: Electric Feel (#22)

 

 

Comment: I've never had any strong feelings for this song. It's listenable but a bit forgettable. However it lead to one of my all-time favourite songs "Opposite Of Adults" by Chiddy Bang which makes me like this song much more.

Kid Cudi vs The Crookers - Day 'N' Nite

 

Peak: 02

2nd Highest Hit: Erase Me (#58)

 

 

Comment: I remember on our last day of primary school we had a party and they played this and every single person loved this more than any other that was played. One of my all time favourites that I still listen to regularly. Like I Took A Pill In Ibiza, when you listen to the lyrics it doesn't sound like the song that needed a dance remix but it works so well.

Tommy Reilly - Gimme A Call

Comment: This is a bit rubbish, he should stick to the guitar. Like Twin Atlantic without any personality.

Peak: 01

Chart Run: 1-3-23-51-81 (5 weeks)

Comment: As far as Comic Relief songs go, this isn't my favourite but this is actually a surprisingly decent cover version. They've done much worse.

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Comment: I thought this was overplayed and irritating at the time but it's sounding amazing right now. If this was released today, I think I would have gotten into this more.

2nd Highest Hit: Seventeen Forever (#89)

 

 

Comment: This song is totally uncool but I absolutely love it. The whisper-like verses build up perfectly to the always catchy chorus.

Steve Angello & Laidback Luke ft Robin S - Show Me Love

 

Peak: 11

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Comment: The Sam Feldt version from last year was bearable but a bit boring and Robin S's original is a classic tune but this version is at least on a par with that version. My love of the Swedish House Mafia may make this the definitive version for me.

Comment: I always thought this had flopped. :o This is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, not even good novelty but it still has some charm.
