April 26, 201510 yr 2004 1. Special D - Come With Me (fave) 2. O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei 3. Ferry Corsten - Rock Your Body Rock 4. 3 Of A Kind - Baby Cakes 5. Eamon - F*** It (I Don't Want You Back) 6. Gunther & The Sunshine Girls - Ding Dong Song 7. Nina Sky - Move Ya Body 8. FYA feat. Smujji - Must Be Love 9. LMC vs. U2 - Take Me To The Clouds Above 10. J-Kwon - Tipsy The year I first started getting into the charts so some great early memories :) 2005: 1. Daddy Yankee - Gasolina (fave) 2. Sunset Strippers - Falling Stars 3. Caesars - Jerk It Out 4. Nizlopi - JCB Song 5. The Bravery - An Honest Mistake 6. Herd & Fitz feat. Abigail Bailey - I Just Can't Get Enough 7. Phantom Planet - California 8. Inaya Day - Nasty Girl 9.

April 27, 201510 yr Author Voting has now closed, so let's take a look at which 10 songs have made it through to the final 75. We'll start with 2004: In fifth we have a song I was really rooting for to make the final, so I'm very glad it has. Such a forgotten gem :heart: 'Move Ya Body' becomes the only urban jam to make the top 5 (poor Khia and 3 Of A Kind could only make the top 10) 5-jdIBz_3zI Next up, an undeniable indie classic, a genre buzzjack seem to be getting behind more of lately, with 'Mr Brightside' being top 10 in pop-dominated Record of the Decade year after year. It's quite good actually but wouldn't get points from me. It ties with Nina Sky on points but beats it to fourth on more +10s, not that it matters as both are in the final. tuK6n2Lkza0 In the top 3 was a song I really did not expect to be anywhere near this high, but trance anthem 'Now We Are Free', which samples the Gladiator soundtrack gets more than enough points to make it here! :heart: The artist appropriately is called Gladiator and unsurprisingly had no other hits. Which makes it difficult to find on YouTube unless you include Izzy's name in the search. EgoXkfs6uhM The only UK #1 in this section comes from the really famous band U2 with one-hit wonders LMC who everyone completely forgot about after this song. Not that U2 actually did anything here, they just forced LMC to credit them for using a sample despite the more prominent Whitney sample not having an artist credit (though of course the vocal was re-recorded) v9J9WgJY1H0 The winners of 2004 then are O-Zone with the iconic 'Dragostea Din Tei', better known as 'Ma ya hi' and 'Numa Numa'. Basically the 'Gangnam Style' of the 00s except they never had another hit. jRx5PrAlUdY Here is the full recap of 2002, including the songs that didn't qualify for the final: 1 O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei 92 2 LMC vs. U2 - Take Me To The Clouds Above 81 3 Gladiator feat.

April 27, 201510 yr Another excellent winner, shame Come With Me didn't make it but at least it was comfortably outside the top 5 & didn't just miss.
April 27, 201510 yr Author Now we go to 2005 and see which 5 songs qualified: No near misses here as Inaya Day is 13 points ahead of the #6 (DHT 'Listen to Your Heart') with Scott Mills fave 'Nasty Girl'. If only it swapped chart runs with The Notorious B.I.G.'s song of the same name though. 6R4hsN6snFc Next is a band who came top of BBC Sound Of and then went on to have one big single. Still better than Michael KiwanWHOka anyway. And the song is great too which is what matters the most really. O8vzbezVru4 Well this was never going to miss the final really, the song was unbelievably massive, with 13 weeks in the top 10 but it could only peak at #2. Still very much remembered, unlike any other songs he released. gH476CxJxfg And another indie band making the final :o Caesars make the top 2 with the catchy 'Jerk It Out' KBobN-r4tag Sunset Strippers top the list then, proving that rip-off versions can be more popular than the originals (poor Cabin Crew only make #16 here). Not that they're much different anyway. 2c1Y34vgrI8 Here is the full recap of 2005, including the songs that didn't qualify for the final: 1 Sunset Strippers - Falling Stars 101 2 Caesars - Jerk It Out 88 3 Daniel Powter - Bad Day 87 4 The Bravery - An Honest Mistake 86 5 Inaya Day - Nasty Girl 80 ---- 6 DHT feat.

April 27, 201510 yr Thank gosh jerk it out got through as forgot to vote for it :cheer: Would have been my +10 if I saw it
April 27, 201510 yr Pleased to see Jerk It Out, Are You Gonna Be My Girl and An Honest Mistake all make it through
April 27, 201510 yr UGH! I MISSED THIS ROUND AND THIS WAS THE ROUND I WANTED TO DO THE MOST! :cry: :cry: FFS. (Yay at Sunset Strippers and Daniel Powter making it though <3)
April 27, 201510 yr How typical. None of my faves made it through yet Bad Day gets through. WHEN WILL YOU ALL LEARN TO HAVE TASTE
April 27, 201510 yr I can't tell you how amazed I am to see Gladiator make the top 5!! I genuinely only thought I'd be the only one voting for it, I only even became aware of it because of its presence on Now 58 all those years ago. Awesome to see it get a lot of fellow Buzzjack love, it really is one of my last genuine dance faves of the whole decade. A 2000/2001 release would have had it chart much higher but sadly it arrived a bit too late to get a stronger release.
