March 27, 20169 yr Rooting for P!nk or Nelly. Happy to see Faster Kill Pussycat and Voodoo Child get into the top 10, but poor Buttonz!
March 27, 20169 yr Smile, Maneater, Pump It, SOS and Voodoo Child to all make the top 5 please :music: I think VC is the least likely to make it but I'm hoping it can!

The Black Eyed Peas - Pump It ZaI2IlHwmgQ Average Score: 7.11 Total Votes: 33 Highest Rating: 11 (Riser) Lowest Rating: 0 (Jason) Narrowly achieving a top 10 finish are The Black Eyed Peas. 'Pump It' was the fourth release from fourth album 'Money Business' and continued their fine chart success in the UK, securing another top 3 hit. Rogue Traders are an Australian pop-rock band and 'Voodoo Child' became their signature hit when it charted internationally a year after release in their home country. In fact, the song peaked higher in the UK, at #3. Fun fact: the song samples Elvis Costello's 'Pump It Up', a similarly-named track to the one 'Voodoo Child' finishes just in front of. The band would only have one other visit to the UK top 40 later in 2006. In eighth are previous Now Rate winners under one of their many guises, The Sugababes. The track was the first to feature the Keisha-Heidi-Amelle line-up following Mutya's departure a few months prior to its release. It followed precedesors 'Push The Button' & 'Ugly' into the top 5, peaking at #4 and became the group's 11th top 10 single.

The Kooks - She Moves In Her Own Way pquhYpGHrlw Average Score: 7.66 Total Votes: 32 Highest Rating: 11 (Iz~ & Jason) Lowest Rating: 0 (bluesunstorm) The Kooks were one of the many bands to profit from the indie surge that occurred in mid-noughties. 'She Moves In Her Own Way' was one of six singles from their debut album to chart in the top 40, this one at #7. Despite the album never reaching #1, it is certified 4x Platinum in the UK. One of the biggest & most iconic songs of the decade finishes in 6th. 'Crazy' became the longest-running #1 single since Wet Wet Wet's 'Love Is All Around', a title it would hold for only a year. It was also the first ever song to top the chart solely on downloads. The duo would request for the song to be removed from all music stores as to avoid it overshadowing the album, resulting in a rather amusing chart run post it's spell at #1. It became the best selling single of the year & proved one of the most divisive in this rate with two 11's and -1's apiece. Only 2 more top 40 visits followed for Gnarls Barkley. Another UK #1 single lands in 5th, also from a previous Now Rate victor. 'Smile' was Lily Allen's debut single and managed a fortnight at #1 in July 2006. A highly successful album campaign would follow & ultimately she has managed 2 further #1 singles along with 7 other top 10 hits including features.
March 27, 20169 yr Author 3. Rihanna - SOS IXmF4GbA86E Average Score: 8.12 Total Votes: 33 Highest Rating: 11 (Liam) Lowest Rating: -1 (Jason) 4. Paul Oakenfold feat. Brittany Murphy - Faster Kill Pussycat gyTPfifzqjo Average Score: 7.98 Total Votes: 33 Highest Rating: 10 (bluesunstorm, Chapman, Jade, Jason, MACMOORE22 Nick F1, ThePensmith & Ultraviolence1989 Lowest Rating: 2 (Fgiboy2511) Next we have a real surprise making it as high as fourth! DJ Paul Oakenfold's career has spanned multiple decades, yielding success under numerous monikers. After achieving top 10 singles under the acts Perfecto Allstarz, Grace, Elementfour & as simply, Oakenfold, 'Faster Kill Pussycat' would be his final appearance in the UK top 100. The song, which peaked at #7, featured the vocals talents of actress & singer Brittany Murphy - her only appearance in the UK charts, 3 and a half years before her untimely death in late 2009. The song was one of only four tracks to avoid a 0 or -1 score. In third place is someone who is no stranger to success in these rates, with 3 wins under her belt among many other top 10 appearances. 'SOS' was Rihanna's third single and peaked at #2 behind Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy', whilst becoming her first US #1. The track sampled Soft Cell's 'Tainted Love' and elevated her career to new heights which would only be improved upon in the following years. The top 3 songs really were in a league of their own in this rate, all of them receiving thirteen 10 scores but alas we are down to only 2 tracks remaining: So it's between Maneater VS. Who Knew. Place your bets/support!
March 27, 20169 yr Author Right you are T Boy! 1. Nelly Furtado - Maneater PLolag3YSYU Average Score: 8.42 Total Votes: 33 Highest Rating: 11 (Chapman, MACMOORE22, SamJudd & ThePensmith) Lowest Rating: 0 (Jason) 2. Pink - Who Knew NJWIbIe0N90 Average Score: 8.39 Total Votes: 33 Highest Rating: 11 (HarryEzra, T Boy & Ultraviolence1989) Lowest Rating: 0 (darkstar79 & Fgiboy2511) An all-female top 3 concludes with an extremely narrow win for Nelly Furtado! The top 2 swapped places all the way through the course of the rate but the Canadian just shades it in one of the closest winning victories in Now Rate history. Who Knew was the second single to be taken from Pink's fourth album 'I'm Not Dead' and managed a top 5 chart position in the UK as well as being a worldwide success both critically and commercially. She has managed six top 10 hits since including a second UK #1 with 2008's 'So What'. However, earning her second victory in a Now Rate following 'Say It Right' on Now 66 is Nelly Furtado with 'Maneater'. Taken from her most successful album by far in 'Loose' the track became her first UK #1 in June 2006 and reinvigorated her career. Oddly, the track only peaked at #16 in the US, massively overshadowed by both 'Promiscuous' & the aforementioned 'Say It Right'. The song received the most 11's in the rate with 4 and only three scores from thirty-three lower than a 7 so despite not being one of the highest outright winning scorers of its rate ('Say It Right' for example scoring a 9.21 average) it did all it had to do to fend off the competition so a congratulations in most definitely in order! :cheer: Thanks to the 32 other participants in this rate. We're ticking them off nicely now & the next one is a very recent edition so I shall expect an even bigger turn out :P

March 27, 20169 yr Yay I picked a winner again! God bless Nelly Furtado I was OBSESSED with the 'Loose' album in 2006. Where the hell did 10 years since that came out go?
March 28, 20169 yr Snow Patrol and Fall Out Boy are WAY too low! Keane did well though to make the top 15, and I'm especially pleased that the Black Eyed Peas made the top 10, didn't think they would! Love 9/10 of the top 10 and the top 3 is really outstanding, so a great result overall. Thanks as always Dobbo!
