July 12, 20159 yr Author Alrighty. For the final time - 2005 results: The columns are labeled as: Position / Last Year's Position / Playoff Position / Artist / Song / Points 60 34 - Coldplay - Talk 95 59 NE 15 Goldfrapp - Ooh La La 111 58 NE 21 Girls Aloud - Long Hot Summer 116 57 NE 22 Kanye West - Diamonds From Sierra Leone 116 56 41 14 Gorillaz - Dirty Harry 118 55 50 5 Killers - Smile Like You Mean It 121 54 RE 23 Rachel Stevens - So Good 132 53 46 17 Mariah Carey - It's Like That 141 52 NE 13 Rachel Stevens - I Said Never Again (But Here We Are) 143 51 NE 25 Sunset Strippers - Falling Stars 143 50 NE 16 Green Day - Holiday 144 49 26 - Natalie Imbruglia - Shiver 147 48 NE 18 Britney Spears - Do Somethin'' 147 47 42 6 Black Eyed Peas - My Humps 148 46 45 24 KT Tunstall - Other Side Of The World 149 45 20 - Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies) 153 44 NE 19 Jem - They 157 43 32 - Sugababes - Ugly 158 42 35 - Girls Aloud - Wake Me Up 159 41 RE 8 Charlotte Church - Crazy Chick 159 40 30 - Daniel Powter - Bad Day 167 39 23 - KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See 169 38 48 1 Black Eyed Peas - Don't Phunk With My Heart 170 37 44 4 Scissor Sisters - Filthy/Gorgeous 172 36 NE 20 Foo Fighters - Best Of You 172 Were we continuing on with 2005, these songs below 35th place would not autoqualify back for next year. As it is, it doesn't really matter so much but it's nice to see where things would have gone. Pleasingly, this isn't ALL of the playoff qualifiers although there's a very large amount of them. Autoqualifier Talk brings up the rear quite soundly though, it never really got going with two other Coldplay songs to compete with. Most of the low ranked qualifiers, indeed all of the 'extra 10' fall out here too, albeit with Best Of You only a point off, although we also lose playoff winner Don't Phunk With My Heart, and top 5s in Filthy/Gorgeous and Smile Like You Mean It.  The biggest autoqualified casualty here is unfortunately Arcade Fire's indiekid anthem of utter gloriousness Rebellion (Lies), which has stayed afloat well in the past few years but couldn't get the votes to reach anywhere near its previous highs in this competition. Shiver and Suddenly I See are unfortunate surprises here too. 35 43 10 Audio Bullys - Shot You Down 173 34 28 - Royksopp - What Else Is There? 178 33 RE 7 Ciara - Goodies 178 32 40 3 Ciara - 1, 2 Step 179 31 29 - Coldplay - Speed Of Sound 187 30 18 - Pussycat Dolls - Stickwitu 190 29 36 2 Gwen Stefani - Rich Girl 190 28 37 9 Bravery - An Honest Mistake 200 27 27 - Oasis - The Importance Of Being Idle 202 26 22 - Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends 204 25 39 11 Mylo vs Miami Sound Machine - Doctor Pressure 210 24 NE 12 Ashanti - Only U 210 23 33 - Jennifer Lopez - Get Right 212 22 19 - Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot 219 21 15 - Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl 235 20 31 - Mariah Carey - We Belong Together 237 19 24 - 2pac (feat. Elton John) - Ghetto Gospel 242 18 25 - Rihanna - Pon de Replay 261 17 21 - Gwen Stefani - Cool 277 16 17 - Stereophonics - Dakota 292 Yep, that's right, I am expanding the playoff cut-off point to a top 15, so we get to keep some more songs for an extra round. In the limbo space between this though, there are a few notable things, although it's mostly stayed somewhat the same, and that's it's good to cut the older years loose after a while, we have a very nice performance for Only U, which was a surprising qualifier for me from the off, and despite only coming through in 12th there, it's just narrowly become the highest playoff qualifier, drawing with Doctor Pressure (Only U has one more vote but they're basically even) and definitely the highest new entry. Highest re-entry goes to Ciara's Goodies, one point below the much jammier 1, 2 Step.  15 13 - Kanye West (feat. Jamie Foxx) - Gold Digger 295 14 11 - Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You 308 13 14 - Pussycat Dolls (feat. Busta Rhymes) - Don't Cha 311 12 7 - Gorillaz - DARE 322 11 16 - Chemical Brothers - Galvanize 324 10 6 - Coldplay - Fix You 336 9 10 - Killers - Somebody Told Me 341 8 9 - Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor 349 7 5 - Kelly Clarkson - Behind These Hazel Eyes 355 6 12 - Amerie - 1 Thing 399 Despite all the extra changes though, the top 15 has mostly remained the same as it was last time, just reshuffled, with Galvanize replacing Hollaback Girl, which I think has got to be QUITE the upgrade. In any case, the playoff qualifiers are a lovely mix of various anthems from this year that have pretty much all remained timeless to this day for most people, it does read like the best list of classics from that year and I wouldn't have it any other way. 1 Thing is the biggest mover, climbing up 6 places to ALMOST secure an automatic spot, although I'd guess it has a good advantage in the playoff rounds anyway. 5 8 - Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc 405 4 3 - Kelly Clarkson - Since You Been Gone 408 3 4 - Sugababes - Push The Button 417 2 2 - Girls Aloud - Biology 430 1 1 - Madonna - Hung Up 450 So, going straight to the final are the same top 4 as last year, with the top 2 in the same order, as I pretty much expected they would be, plus the best track in this whole line-up - Feel Good Inc just sneaking in ahead of 1 Thing as the last slew of votes came in. Thank you guys, that's made me very happy that it is almost certain of going out on a high. The other 4 tracks are also great tunes, I wouldn't argue with any of them really. So.... good job! Now let me prepare 2006.
July 12, 20159 yr Hooray for the final / playoff expansions putting 'Feel Good Inc.' straight to the final and allowing 'Gold Digger', 'DARE' and 'Galvanize' to progress *.* Pleasing to see The Bravery going out as a would-be AQ after just missing out last year.
July 12, 20159 yr YES for 'Galvanize' smashing it this year :dance:Â and 'Feel Good Inc.' joining the autoqualifiers :music:
July 12, 20159 yr Wrong Green Day song is higher there. Pleasing results for Galvanize & Doctor Pressure :)
