Goldfrapp - Ride A White Horse nFF8bubMc40 Average Score: 7.08 Total Votes: 25 Highest Rating: 10 (bluesunstorm, darkstar79, ThePensmith & Viper*) Lowest Rating: 0 (Jason) In at #10 it's Goldfrapp with their eighties-inspired Ride A White Horse. They were on a roll in the mid noughties, this track their fourth top 20 hit in a row. Just ahead of them it's one of the many guises of the evergreen You Got The Love. The original version finished in 2nd place in the Now 36 rate and this reworking also manages a high finish but with a far lower average.

Hi_Tack - Say Say Say (Waiting 4 U) VVGJ6f_pAdA Average Score: 7.25 Total Votes: 24 Highest Rating: 10 (gavindeejay, Griff & Nick F1) Lowest Rating: 1 (ThePensmith) Dutch group Hi_Tack sampled Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson's "Say Say Say" and found their way to #4 in the chart. It does very well here too avoiding any 0's & -1's. Embrace were a big deal back in 2006 and Nature's Law became their highest ever peaking song at #2. It also received more 10s than any other track in the rate so had its fair share of fans.

Gorillaz - Dirty Harry cLnkQAeMbIM Average Score: 7.40 Total Votes: 25 Highest Rating: 11 (Jade) Lowest Rating: 3 (Euphorique & Liam) Dirty Harry was the third release from massively successful comeback album Demon Days and was the only track in the rate to receive a lowest score of 3. Thunder In My Heart was originally a hit for Leo Sayer back in 1977, when it was remixed and shot to #1 under the reworked title "Thunder In My Heart Again".
December 27, 20159 yr Author 3. Sugababes - Ugly 4nD2vZfdzGg Average Score: 7.54 Total Votes: 24 Highest Rating: 10 (Acidburn, bluesunstorm, Chapman, gavindeejay, Liam & MerryFlynnmas) Lowest Rating: 1 (Griff & mr_pmt) 4. The Pussycat Dolls feat. will.i.am - Beep 1r9ghI7YcL0 Average Score: 7.48 Total Votes: 25 Highest Rating: 11 (Fgiboy2511) Lowest Rating: -1 (Chez Wombat) Just outside the top 3 are The Pussycat Dolls with their will.i.am-assisted single 'Beep'. This was the follow up to their two #1 singles but couldn't quite match them as it peaked at #2. Finishing in bronze position it's another girl group in the Sugababes, usual suspects within the top 10. Similarly, Ugly was the follow up to their huge #1 Push The Button but could only reach #3 in late 2005. Which means we left with Because Of You Vs. You Spin Me Round (Like A Record). The noughties versus the eighties - who wins?
December 27, 20159 yr Author And the winner is... :cheer: 1. Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) PGNiXGX2nLU Average Score: 8.16 Total Votes: 25 Highest Rating: 11 (Doboggan) Lowest Rating: 2 (darkstar79) 2. Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You Ra-Om7UMSJc Average Score: 7.92 Total Votes: 25 Highest Rating: 11 (Acidburn, gooddelta, Jonjowman, Liam, Rob S~, UltraChristmas & Viper*) Lowest Rating: 0 (Fgiboy2511) It is the eighties which comes out on top! Because Of You became Kelly Clarkson's third consecutive top 10 hit of 2005 and racked up an incredible seven 11 scores in the rate. However it couldn't quite do enough to topple an eighties classic in You Spin Me Round (Like A Record). This song was a #1 back in 1985 and has since been re-released on numerous occasions, the most successful being in early 2006 following Pete Burns appearing on Celebrity Big Brother that year. Of the 25 votes it received, 22 of them were a rating of 7 or more so it definitely earned its victory and of course it is the perfect winner in my eyes! Thanks to the 24 other participants in this rate, look out for a rather more recent edition coming up next.

December 28, 20159 yr I had no idea You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) was on Now 63! Definitely the best song on there, although the You Got The Love Now Voyager Mix is close behind. Edited December 28, 20159 yr by Taylor Jago
December 28, 20159 yr As if Dead or Alive beat Kelly Clarkson! :o Not complaning though, classic song and one of the few highlights on this album <3 Cannot believe Jose Gonzalez finished that low though, one of my favourite covers of all time, it's beautiful :(
