Two songs, left. It’s close. Which won?

Comments or no top 2.

Hopefully Move is #1 but I think it might just end at #2.

Move to win please :cheer:

YAY at DNA not being top 2, always found it overrated so now I don't mind which of the remaining tracks wins. :D

Yesss! And the winner is ‘Move’, which scores SIXTEEN 11s! This RNB infused track, despite selling less than ‘Wings’ and ‘Cannonball’ remains their most memorable hit after Black Magic. Congrats ‘Move’, you never get old <3

 

(sorry if you got missed off the scores roundup, that was a lot of 10s and 11s to include, I THINK I got everyone.)

Sorrrry. It's always best to post if you changed them, as I'd probably already compiling the spread sheet! :(

-1s for Black Magic, DNA and Love Me Like You.... no.

 

I'd have preferred Move to be like 3rd or 4th but it's an amazing song as shown by my 10 <3

Yay, the correct winner - nice one Buzzjack!

 

Catchy as it is, 'Black Magic' winning wouldn't have felt right as it's little more than a faceless attempt at a radio hit done right, whereas 'Move' was inventive and made a statement about the group's sound, while being equally as infectious in the process. I agree with Joe that the song just doesn't seem to age, and I imagine its appeal will hold up better than most of their back catalogue in years to come.

 

A very strong top five and an enjoyable rate overall. Cheers for doing it, Joe! :D

YEYYYYY Move so deserves the top spot!

So relieved DNA didn't win. I can see why you all love it but it's just so incredibly boring for me. Black Magic coming second really did surprise me though!

Ugh. Move winning is just about the worst possible result for me. Compared to Black Magic, DNA (and Wings, which was sadly never in contention) which are dripping in melody it's so flat and tuneless. I'm not really a fan of their more R&B tracks anyway (or the genre in general) so I'm obviously not the target audience, but to see two undeniable pop smashes lose out to it saddens me.

Really couldn't argue with any of the order of the top 4 tbh. Any of the four would've been worthy winners, imo. 'Salute' is just a smash. Always has been! So pleased it's become pretty much a staple in their discography. 'DNA' is pop perfection as is 'Black Magic'. Seriously 2 of the best pop songs in the last 10 years at least! 'Move' is also brilliant for how unique and how much of a risk it is/was for any artist, never mind a girl group from X Factor launching a second album. It's definitely the one that's aged the least, I agree. <3

 

Thank you so, SO much for doing this Joe. Really loved it.

 

If anyone else fancies hosting a rate of some sorts in this forum, then just send me or Robot (or Casey, but he's never here so you'll probs never get a reply :heehee:) a PM and we'll seeeee! :D

Thanks Joe! *.* Move is a VERY worthy winner. <3

Amazing result, "Move" and "Black Magic", either one would have been the perfect winner, but glad it was "Move" that won in the end, they continue to get better with each album and are just well brilliant. They haven't put a foot wrong yet (apart from the dire "Word Up")
