#40 | Diana Vickers - 'The Boy Who Murdered Love' (AVG. 7.63)

 

Up next is the 2nd single from Diana Vickers. It's always been my least favourite from her (amazing) album and I was completely baffled as to why it's chosen over practically anything else from the album. It clearly has it's fans though!

(click the link and let me know whether you agree or not!) was a complete missed oppourtunity! :'( We could've had that as the 2nd instead :drama:

 

 

#39 | One Direction - 'Steal My Girl' (AVG. 7.6)

 

Up next and finishing ahead of their best single (whatever, Buzzjack. What. E. VER), we have the rather annoying 'Steal My Girl'. Thankfully they have a few more songs ahead of this.

 

 

#38 | JLS - 'Beat Again' (AVG. 7.66)

 

Aaaaaand here we have J ust L ike S hit's debut single. Just relistening to this now as I'm writing and I forgot how much of a bop it is tbh. I knew I liked it somewhat, but I got tired of it pretty quickly and now I've not heard it for a while, it's actually very good! It was always a solid debut effort and I remember thinking this would be huge in America at the time (lolololololololol). Thankfully Ms. Burke delivered a genuine pop classic the same year though and reminded us all as to why she won <3 (that song is rightfully still to come, too!)

 

 

 

#37 | Leona Lewis/Avicii - 'Collide' (AVG. 7.68)

 

This song is really under appreciated amongst her discography. It's such a jam! It's a complete shame Syco messed the release of this up. Something to do with Avicii wasn't given a credit for it and being really annoyed as he wanted to release 'Fade Into Darkness' (which this song clearly samples) or something like that, all without his permission (although Avicii

lamfoooooo - P.s. I did not know this until now!). Either way the whole thing was a big fat MESS and not the hot sort of mess you'd expect :( Such a shame as it really deserved to be huge </3

 

 

 

#36 | Rebecca Ferguson - 'Backtrack' (AVG. 7.72)

 

And that's it. No more Rebecca Fergie-Ferguson! I'm really not a fan of her voice (always sounds like someone's trying to be sick to me) although this is definitely her best, so well done Buzzjack on that one. :)

 

Ohhhh I like all of these. I adore that Diana track, Steal My Girl is my favourite 1D track and Collide is certainly one of Leona's best for me. Backtrack is Rebecca's best but I wouldn't want to see it any higher really.

 

Beat Again is fun, but I'm so glad 'She Makes Me Wanna' has won out of the JLS tracks.

I absolutely love Backtrack :P

...shocked and appalled :snif:

 

 

Also thank god Cher Lloyd is out :cheer:

'Steal My Girl' is lovely :wub: 'Beat Again' is LISTENABLE for a JLS song but i'm glad their best one is still to come.

 

I don't really know the Rebecca F songs and 'Collide' is interesting ;o not sure i've ever really enjoyed it but it's a nice listen ~~

Some Cher Lloyd just came on my shuffle, and it's a real shame nothing after Sticks & Stones charted. Although I'm not as fan as find her personality very off putting, Oath is such a jam, and easily would have gotten a 9 from me in this rate. And Sirens is stunningly flawless, probably would have been one of my 11s :wub:

I wish >

I wish >

Yes yes yes!

 

I adore 'Nothing's Real But Love', definitely would have been one of my top faves (and therefore would've made the top 40 oops!) if I'd rated :wub:

The Afrojack remix of Collide>>>>>

That breakdown gives me life *.*

'Sirens' more than likely would have been an 11 for me too if it was included. What a beautiful song :wub:

Oh if only I saw this when the rate was open.

 

Damn!

Oh if only I saw this when the rate was open.

 

Damn!

Are you a Misha B / Alexandra Burke fan? :o

Oh I of course love Collide, but I adore Fade Into Darkness a lot more and it shares the same Penguin sample. Oh and it least impressive in the chart, near the bottom of the top 200 I think :no:

#35 | Alexandra Burke - 'The Silence' (AVG. 7.74)

 

'The Silence' is the next of our tracks to leave us. Once hearing the album I always thought this would make a great single choice. But I imagined it without a messy re-release schedule. Her vocals towards the end of this song are incredible and showcase why she is one of the strongest singers we've ever had on the show. Such a gorgeous track.

 

 

#34 | Ella Henderson - 'Yours' (AVG. 7.76)

 

So up next is another act from X Factor who is highly regarded as having one of the best voices on the show. I however, disagree. I find her voice horrible a lot of the time. I find it too warbly and it just sounds like she's gargling water, but she's released one jam so I can't complain. This is not that jam unfortunately. It's a nice enough song, but I really would appreciate it a lot more if sung by someone else. I believe this charted after being used in a huge scene on Hollyoaks, and Syco (?) noticed and decided to push it as a proper single. I think it did very well too. So kudos to her. (Although I still think 'Pieces' should've been released as a single at some point!)

 

 

#33 | Sigma - Glitterball (feat. Ella Henderson) (AVG. 7.8)

 

Just like that, we lose another Ella song. This time it's the collaboration with Sigma. A song I have never got the fuss over, despite liking Sigma's previous stuff (and 'Coming Home' which came after). Again, I just think it's her voice more than anything. Her voice is for a very acquired taste. You're either gonna like it, or you're not.

 

 

 

#32 | Olly Murs - 'Dear Darlin'' (AVG. 7.82)

 

At #32 and after managing to stay a little while since his last dropout, we have Olly Murs' 3rd single from his 3rd album, 'Dear Darlin''! A song which seems to appeal to the more "casual" fans. It seems to be the one that gave him the most credibility, which he seemed to lose with the release of 'Hand On Heart' as the 6th single. Such a euphoric and uplifting bit of production in the final half of this song. I think I'd have placed it a few places higher, personally.

 

 

 

#31 | One Direction - 'Kiss You' (AVG. 7.83)

 

Now it's time for some pure, unadulterated POP. JUST PURE POP. Got to hand it to One Direction, when they get it right, they get it SO RIGHT. 'Kiss You' is a JAM and is their second best single for me! The chorus is packed with a punch. Such an enjoyable piece of pop music which doesn't tend to take itself to seriously. Something which the charts kinda lack nowadays </3

 

Yes now we're getting to the luscious ones <3

Kiss You as low as 31 :snif: :snif: :snif: that saddens me greatly. It's their best song imo. Absolute classic :wub:

The big one there for me is The Silence, which is an amazing ballad, I don't know why they waited until the re-release to release this though.

 

Eeeeek top 30 time!

Just re-listening to 'Overcome' (album) for the first time in what must be 5 years and 'Good Night, Good Morning' is still a TUNE! Seriously missed singles opportunity there.

 

01. 'Bad Boys' [X Factor - 1st single etc...]

02. 'Good Night, Good Morning' [Feb-time]

03. 'All Night Long' [bGT - May-time] *Remix*

04. 'Broken Heels' [Aug-time]

05. 'The Silence' [X Factor - Oct]

 

That's how that era should've originally gone, imo. <3

I always stanned for 'What Happens on the Dancefloor', even though she's hardly in the song!

 

Also 'Nothing Matters But the Girl' <3

The big one there for me is The Silence, which is an amazing ballad, I don't know why they waited until the re-release to release this though.

 

Eeeeek top 30 time!

It was actually planned as the 2nd single I think, but Broken Heels happened. I think the main consensus amongst her then stans was that they didnt want her to become too much like Leona, gjven the amount of comparisons between the pair.

 

Totally understandable, but passing on The Silence in January/december and leaving some amazing ballads off the album was a huge mistake.

 

The Silence is way too low for me. It's Alexandra's 2nd best for me and has stood the test of time for me
