Here we have the sublime, gorgeous ballad 'Better In Time', the far superior A side to 'Footprints in the Sand'. I still hear this on the radio occasionally, it's fair to say it's become a fondly remembered Leona song. Somebody remove Scene's Leona mod position for that 3! :P

 

Beautiful song, really happy it went top 20 :wub:

Well I for one class 'Broken Heels' as Alexandra's best... total TUNE. :wub:

 

'Better In Time' is up there with my Leona favourites, it's a highlight of her singles discography for me.

'Better In Time' is stunning. So, SO beautiful and really under appreciated. It's always been a standout from the 'Spirit' album for me, so when I heard news that it'd be the second single I was ecstatic. <3 Really happy to see it received so well on here as I thought it'd get lost in the shuffle a bit. :wub:

Up next it's Olly Murs' highest entry in this countdown and deservedly so too, imo. I really don't understand why I love it so much, but it's really one of my favourite songs by him. I think this retro sound really works in his favour and he manages to deliver with it. It's as MOR as they come, but it's so catchy and just a generally strong pop song in it's own right. Pleasantly surprised by it's position in this countdown.

 

Love Dance With Me Tonight, great to see it do so well!!

:lol: I've just always found it a bit too beige. The follow up to Bleeding Love should've been Take A Bow.

Glad to see Better in Time make the top 20. Looks like Little Mix are gonna have quite a few singles in the top 10 at this rate.

Oops, missed 18! Coming in a second....

So here we have Diana Vickers debut single and last song in this rate. The rather infectious 'Once'! Such a different type of pop song than what you'd expect from someone coming from X Factor at the time. She waited a while to release something, but if you've heard the album, you'll understand why it took so long... it's GREAT. 'Once' stormed it's way to number 1 here in the UK and went onto to be her only decent sized hit. She tried to replicate it's success with an inferior version, but that flopped and "only" went top 40.

Despite this rate taking part on the Little Mix forum, Little Mix seem to be one of the most popular artists on Buzzjack at the current time, so it's not a huge surprise that they've still got so many songs left in the rate. However, 'Salute' falls just short of the top 15. 'Salute' was lucky to have done well in the charts in the end, after 'Word Up's failure to do much, support was somewhat muted for 'Salute', however, it all changed when they put on a typically fearsome performance on X Factor, which had them shoot into the top 10. 'Salute' has now become one of their signature singles, more remembered to casual audiences to some of their higher sellers. How many of Little Mix's 5 remaining songs will make the top 10...? Will one of them win?

'Salute' deserved top 10! :( Such an epic, female power anthem! Loved every single performance I've seen of this!

The 5 Little Mix songs still in: DNA, Black Magic, Secret Love Song, Love Me Like You, Move. The correct 5 for sure. Great to see Leona's Christmas anthem still in!

 

Also, Once is great! After it went to number 1 I thought she'd have a much longer career in the charts. :/

Once is a completely flawless song, shame it didn't go top 15, I almost gave it one of my 11s. I too expected Diana have a really long successful career after the success of Once, and SFTTCT, but for whatever reason it never happened :(

 

Salute is an absolute banger, and my favourite LM single, which considering how strong their others are says a lot! Really hoped it would be top 10/5, but I knew of the 6 LM songs left in it would probably be the first to go. I could see DNA coming top 10, and SLS, Move, LMLY, and BM all in the top 6, and Move and Black Magic taking 2 and 3 but I still expect Bleeding Love to win

Great Countdown so far. Did Laura White's 'You Should Have Knwon' not qualify?

Salute, Once, Better In Time & Broken Heels... all incredible! http://forums.denden.co.uk/images/smilies/icon_love.gif

 

Dance With Me Tonight is definitely one of Olly's best too.

 

Aww at Night Changes being met with so much indifference, it's a lovely song. Story of My Life is my favourite 1D ballad though.

Just listening to SFTTCT for the first time in ages. First thing, WOW what an album fantastic, forgot how much I loved it. Second thing, this was six years ago? wow time flys!!

Great Countdown so far. Did Laura White's 'You Should Have Knwon' not qualify?

 

It should have been included in the countdown seeing as it peaked at #32, but it looks like it got overlooked.

Ahhhh. I knew there'd be an omission or two haha. Sorry about that :( It wasn't left out on purpose. But with so many songs, I knew something would be missed out :lol:

Y'all the voting thread was open for a month! Now is not not the time to think of omissions :P
