Cedric Gervais - Summertime Sadness Martin Garrix - Animals The Saturdays - Disco Love Wilkinson - Afterglow ...but in what order? Find out this evening.
February 28, 20169 yr Poor It's My Party, Big When I Was Little and Somewhere Only We Know all missing the top 20 :( Also shocked neither Royals or Roar are top 10, thought both could have been contenders to win :o Any of a Burn/Youth/Summertime Sadness/Applause/Disco Love win would be great :heart:
February 28, 20169 yr Ugh. 'Roar' should've been an easy top 10. Really don't get how people can not like that song :snif:
February 28, 20169 yr Author 8. Martin Garrix - Animals gCYcHz2k5x0 Average Score: 7.39 Total Votes: 38 Highest Rating: 11 (Dobbo, Jason & mr_pmt) Lowest Rating: 0 (darkstar79, Fgiboy2511 & Iz~)  9. Ellie Goulding - Burn CGyEd0aKWZE Average Score: 7.32 Total Votes: 38 Highest Rating: 10 (Acidburn, Cody Slayberry, darkstar79, Liam, Taylor Jago & Ultraviolence1989) Lowest Rating: -1 (n4yr)  10. Chase & Status feat. Moko - Count On Me 91V0Cqx9TzM Average Score: 7.31 Total Votes: 37 Highest Rating: 11 (ML Hammer95) Lowest Rating: 0 (Rob S~)  Just making the top 10 by a very narrow margin is 'Count On Me', Chase & Status' second single from third album 'Brand New Machine'. It followed predecessor 'Lost & Not Found' into the top 10 but managed to peak higher at #5. In at #9 is comeback track and first EVER UK #1 single for Ellie Goulding, 'Burn'. The track spent three weeks at #1 in August/September 2013 and continued a hugely successful second era including Halycon & Halycon Days. She would achieve a second #1 in 2015. Just ahead and a track which I'm thrilled to see so high up is debut single from Dutch DJ Martin Garrix. The song shot straight to #1 in late 2013, beating off the likes of Lilly Allen & Ellie Goulding with questionable covers, one of my favourite chart moments to date for sure!
February 28, 20169 yr Author 5. Lady Gaga - Applause pco91kroVgQ Average Score: 7.53 [more 10's] Total Votes: 38 Highest Rating: 10 (bluesunstorm, Cody Slayberry, Dobbo, gavindeejay, gooddelta, Jade, Josh, Liam, Mackenzie, River Lea, Taylor Jago & Ultraviolence1989) Lowest Rating: -1 (ML Hammer95)  6. Wilkinson - Afterglow I9QGpHScGug Average Score: 7.53 Total Votes: 38 Highest Rating: 10 (darkstar79, Dobbo, Ivica, Jason, Jester, lewistgreen & Taylor Jago) Lowest Rating: 2 (Fgiboy2511 & Ultraviolence1989)  7. The Saturdays - Disco Love LmncQGy_7Lk Average Score: 7.41 Total Votes: 38 Highest Rating: 11 (bluesunstorm) Lowest Rating: 0 (dandy*)  Yet another top 10 placing for forum favourites The Saturdays this time with 'Disco Love', their 13th and still most recent top 10 official single which peaked at #5 in October 2015. It followed the disappointingly-performed 'Gentleman' in the 'Living For The Weekend' era but they haven't scaled the same heights since. In front is 'Afterglow', the highest peaking single for British DJ Wilkinson at #8. It featured uncredited vocals of Becky Hill and very unique music video detailing the lifetime statistics of a typical average couple. It was the only track in the rate to not receive a score lower than a 2. Making the top 5 yet again is Lady Gaga, although she wasn't quite able to win another Now Rate as 'Applause' lands four places short. This was her comeback single for third album 'ARTPOP' however it peaked at #5 just like in this rate. She would follow up with 'Do What U Want' but has yet to be seen again in the UK Charts since.
February 28, 20169 yr Author 3. Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know? bpOSxM0rNPM Average Score: 7.84 Total Votes: 38 Highest Rating: 11 (Chez Wombat, gavindeejay, Ivica, Jester & Luciano) Lowest Rating: 0 (bluesunstorm & JosephStyles)  4. Avicii feat. Aloe Blacc - Wake Me Up IcrbM1l_BoI Average Score: 7.53 [received 11's] Total Votes: 38 Highest Rating: 11 (Dan_, Iz~ & Sean Paul) Lowest Rating: -1 (Liam & Ultraviolence1989)  3 tracks finished on identical scores, however only one of these received 11's, which is Avicii's 'Wake Me Up'. One of the biggest songs of 2013, it debuted at #1 with sales of over 250,000 and spent 3 weeks at #1. It continued a huge year for Swede, following his first UK #1 earlier that year in 'I Could Be The One'. It proved a divisive track in this rate with only one song receiving more 11's but only three songs receiving more -1's. Earning bronze medal in this rate are the Arctic Monkeys with 'Do I Wanna Know?' the lead track from fifth album 'AM'. The track narrowly missed the top 10, peaking at #11 but managed an extremely length chart run thereafter. With five 11 scores, it received the most of any track in the rate.  So we are left with a final showdown between Summertime Sadness & Youth. Who do you think/want will/to come out on top?
February 28, 20169 yr Author Your winner is... :winner: 1. Lana Del Rey Vs. Cedric Gervais - Summertime Sadness akhmS1D2Ce4 Average Score: 8.07 Total Votes: 38 Highest Rating: 10 (bluesunstorm, Chapman, Cody Slayberry, Dan_, gavindeejay, Ivica, Jade, Jason, Jaspine Thompson, Jester, Josh, Luciano, Taylor Jago & Ultraviolence1989) Lowest Rating: 0 (Griff)  2. Foxes - Youth sx0x5aRPhgk Average Score: 8.01 Total Votes: 37 Highest Rating: 11 (dandy*) Lowest Rating: 1 (ML Hammer95)  Only the top two in this rate achieved an average of above 8 and it was an extremely close fight all the way through (not just between these but also Arctic Monkeys, Avicii & Lady Gaga at various stages!) However it is just about Lana Del Rey who triumphs, her first Now Rate victory! A valiant effort from Foxes sees her a still very impressive second. After featuring on two dance tracks in Zedd's 'Clarity' & Rudimental's 'Right Here' she went solo with 'Youth' in late 2013 which peaked at #14. The year after would see her improve on this success, managing a top 10 hit with 'Let Go For Tonight'. Youth was one of only 3 tracks in the rate to avoid any 0 or -1 scores. Summertime Sadness, originally an album track from the hugely successful 'Born To Die album', was remixed by French DJ Cedric Gervais in Summer 2013 and shot into the top 5 of the UK Charts where it notched up 6 straight weeks there. It became Lana Del Rey's highest peaking single here which is still held to this day. Despite not receiving a single 11 score in the rate, it picked up the most 10's (with 14) and only 4 scores out of 38 lower than a 6. Interestingly it's winning score of 8.07 is actually the second lowest of all Now Rates but it did what it had to to overcome the rest of the field in this one! A very worthy winner. Thanks to the 37 other participants in this rate. As always, poster stats will be up at sometime along with the next rate where we're going proper old school once again :magic:
