I just can't at Believe Again flatlining at 10, only marginally ahead of Almost Here :o Shocked that Predictable and Mistaken Identity finished behind that too.

Wish You Were Here (and, well, the rest of the top 10) coming above Believe Again literally renders this all null and void.

 

Seriously, HOW? It's basically everyone's favourite. Screw you all. You don't deserve Delta.

8 8.92 Innocent Eyes

The title track from Delta's debut album, Innocent Eyes was the third consecutive #1 for her in Australia, and third consecutive top 10 hit in the UK also, peaking at #9. Delta has stated that it's one of her personal favourite tracks from the album, and lyrically it is autobiographical, which Delta has dedicated to her family. It was also performed on Neighbours, where Delta starred as Nina Tucker.

 

7 8.94 Wings

Wings is Delta's current single, and the first from her upcoming fifth studio album. It was her first #1 single in Australia in 8 years, since In This Life reached the top spot in 2007. Overall, it is her 9th #1 single, an impressive record particularly for someone now well over 10 years into their career! Wings is currently receiving a UK push, the first Delta single to get one since Almost Here in 2005 :o

6 9.00 Out Of The Blue

The first single from Mistaken Identity is also the highest as the album fails to get a single song into the top 5 (although it's my favourite Delta album for sure :heart:). Out of the Blue was the sixth consecutive #1 for Delta in Australia and also her fourth UK top 10 hit, peaking at #9 here (although it dropped rapidly after that). I'm personally very surprised to see it this high but I won't complain, it's gorgeous :wub:

 

5 9.06 Not Me, Not I

Another surprise for me, the fourth single from Innocent Eyes makes the top 5 here in the rate. Not Me, Not I was Delta's only UK release to miss the top 10 (peaking at #18) but was a chart topper in Australia of course, where it broke the record for most #1 singles from one album! It received two scores of 11 as well as only one score below 8, very impressive!

4 9.17 Sitting On Top Of The World

Delta's comeback single in 2012, Sitting On Top of the World is an uptempo track that kickstarted the Child of the Universe era in style. Following a four year break after I Can't Break It To My Heart, this track was released and peaked at #2 in Australia, and became the first Delta song to get a multi-platinum certification since Predictable (despite having three #1s in between these songs!).

 

3 9.25 Born To Try

Whilst I Don't Care was Delta's first single, Born To Try was the song that kickstarted not just Delta's career, but also her piano-based singer/songwriter sound that we all know and love today (as opposed to the bubblegum pop sound of its predecessor). Born To Try was the first single from Innocent Eyes, and it soared to #1 in Australia and #3 in the UK. It is seen mostly as Delta's signature hit, helped by it being performed by Delta on Neighbours, in the role of Nina Tucker. It remains her biggest seller in Australia, being certified triple platinum.

Amazed to see In This Life so high, lovely to see Not Me, Not I sneak into the top five <3

2 9.50 In This Life

In This Life was the first single released from Delta the album in 2007, and it became her 8th #1 single Australia. The song is an uplifting song, featuring Delta's letter-ending of "love and light" in the chorus, with the lyric "you give me love, you give me light". According to Delta, the song "reaffirms new beginnings, celebrates perseverance, and rejoices in moving forward". It received positive reviews upon release, and was subsequently given a single release in the US to promote the Delta album over there. I'm delighted to see it so high up here, a Delta classic in my eyes!

 

1 9.72 Lost Without You

Delta's second hit single tops the countdown here with an impressive average of 9.72. Lost Without You received no score lower than 8 and had four scores of 11. It was the first Delta song I heard many years ago, and the song that made me obsessed with her :wub: Lost Without You was Delta's second top 5 hit in the UK, as well as her second #1 in Australia. Furthermore, it received a remix and a US release in 2005, although it failed to impact beyond #18 on Billboard Adult Contemporary. A worthy winner for sure in my opinion!

'Lost Without You' is the definitive Delta song for me, I fell in love with it the moment I heard it and went to buy the album immediately. Glad it won. :D

 

I wouldn't put 'Sitting On Top Of The World' that high, although it has grown on me in the last year.
