June 5, 20169 yr Hmm...not exactly a vintage Winter NOW for me this one, and I've awarded a LOT of ones and twos, but it does have it's great moments nonetheless... CD 1 04 DJ Sammy & Yanou feat. Do - Heaven 07 Las Ketchup - Aserejé (The Ketchup Song) 07 Enrique Iglesias - Love To See You Cry (oddest positioning for a low charting hit on a Now album? Quite possibly. Pleasant song mind) 11 Sugababes - Round Round (still holds up well even to this day. And the first proper appearance of Xenomania on a NOW album too!) :wub: 03 Atomic Kitten - The Tide Is High (Get The Feeling) 08 Blue - One Love 09 Darius - Colourblind 08 Busted - What I Go To School For 08 Liberty X - Got To Have Your Love 05 Romeo feat. Christina Milian - It's All Gravy 08 Samantha Mumba - I'm Right Here 08 ABS - What You Got 03 Britney Spears - I Love Rock 'n' Roll 09 S Club Juniors - Automatic High 10 Kylie Minogue - Come Into My World (so disappointed the compilers didn't put on 'New Direction' for S Club Juniors before this because can you imagine the seguing from that into this song? Divine) 10 Jakatta feat. Seal - My Vision (so nearly my 11. Seal's vocals and the production on this is just lush) 09 Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Music Gets The Best Of Me 01 Kelly Llorenna - Heart Of Gold 01 Milk Inc. - Walk On Water 01 Jan Wayne - Because The Night 01 Lasgo - Pray -1 Scooter - Posse (I Need You On The Floor) (Errgh. I apologise to anyone who does love Scooter but even the then 13 year old me thought they were just noisy and repetitive) CD 2 10 Coldplay - In My Place 10 Oasis - Little By Little 08 U2 - Electrical Storm (one of the very few songs from U2's 00's renaissance years I can still enjoy now. The rest - 'Elevation' I am looking at you - were largely awful) 07 Chad Kroeger feat. Josey Scott - Hero 02 Richard Ashcroft - Check The Meaning 07 Eva Cassidy - Imagine 10 Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles 02 Badly Drawn Boy - You Were Right 05 Ronan Keating - I Love It When We Do 10 Appleton - Fantasy (so nearly my 11 as well, and had it been 'Don't Worry' it would have been. Still a tune mind) 08 Ms. Dynamite - Dy-Na-Mi-Tee 07 Beenie Man feat. Janet - Feel It Boy 03 Daniel Bedingfield - James Dean (I Wanna Know) 07 Eminem - Without Me (would've been a 9, nay 10 if this was 'Lose Yourself') 01 Puddle Of Mudd - She Hates Me 02 Bowling For Soup - Girl All The Bad Guys Want 07 Supergrass - Grace 02 Status Quo - Jam Side Down (how in God's name the Quo landed on a Now album this late in their career is beyond us, it's no 'Pictures of Matchstick Men' certainly) 01 Raven Maize - Fascinated 08 Who Da Funk feat. Jessica Eve - Shiny Disco Balls 06 Paul Oakenfold - Starry Eyed Surprise

June 12, 20169 yr Yes! SClub Juniors top 20 :yahoo: :wub: Aww I thought Busted would be top 10 :cry: Really really surprised Darius is top 10. :o Edited June 12, 20169 yr by Jason
June 12, 20169 yr Really glad that Darius, DJ Sammy, Vanessa Carlton, Eminem & Sugababes are top 10. Even a nice surprise to see Kylie there, even if it's with one of her worst songs. Hoping for a Sugababes WIN.
June 12, 20169 yr Ooh yay at S Club Juniors sneaking into the top 20! I can definitely see why it could be polarising but for me it's always been an ultimate guilty pleasure. :wub: 'Round Round' to win out of those left!

Atomic Kitten - The Tide Is High (Get The Feeling) u8CMsQ-p1ls Average Score: 7.10 Total Votes: 21 Highest Rating: 10 (bluesunstorm, Jimmy Jam & SamJudd) Lowest Rating: 2 (dandy* & darkstar79) In at #10 are girl group Atomic Kitten with their third UK #1 single, a cover of Blondie's 80s classic. The song managed three weeks at #1 in September 2002. Narrowly ahead it's Ms. DyanmiTEE-HEE with her second lead single & by far her most recognised track. It peaked at #5 & it would be another 9 years before she returned to the top 10, featuring on Katy B's 'Lights On'. Doing very well to get a rap song into the top 10 it's Marshall Mathers b.k.a. Eminem with his third UK #1 single 'Without Me'. He shares a similar statistic to Oasis in that all 8 of his/their #1s only spent a sole week at the top.

Darius - Colourblind fS4jg-Yv1XA Average Score: 7.23 Total Votes: 20 Highest Rating: 10 (Chez Wombat, Dobbo, Jason & SamJudd) Lowest Rating: 0 (darkstar79) 3 brilliant tracks next all in their own unique ways! BJ's fave Darius manages to finish in 7th with the gloriously epic 'Colourblind'. Despite finishing 3rd on Pop Idol that year he also managed to shoot straight to #1 with his debut single. He did manage 5 more top 40 hits (4 top 10) but hasn't been seen in the Charts for over a decade (come back Darius!!!) In front are Coldplay with their highest peaker at the time, the #2 'In My Place'. They would have to wait a further 6 years to score their first #1 but this one is my fave of theirs personally. Cracking the top 5 once again are Oasis, on another track with Noel on lead vocals & another #2 peaker. Along with their eight UK#1 singles, they've managed six #2s & three #3s, some discography right there that is!
June 12, 20169 yr Good to see Oasis cracking the Top 5! Little By Little is my favourite single from 'Heathen Chemistry'. :D Aslo happy to see Coldplay doing well too! Edited June 12, 20169 yr by gavindeejay

Another high finish however for 'Come Into My World', a track which peaked at #8 in late 2002. It also managed the highest 'lowest' score in the rate of 5 as of course no one hates Kylie :P Shock. Horror. A dance reworking of an 80s track that BJ DOESN'T hate :o 'Heaven' a cover of the Bryan Adams song finishes in 3rd position. It shot straight to #1 upon release & DJ Sammy wouldn't stay a one-hit wonder for long, managing three further top 10 hits. The track was last year voted the best dance track of all time in the Dance Forum & received by far the most number of 10's in the rate with a total of, conveniently 10. SO! We are left with A Thousand Miles Vs. Round Round. Who's it gonna be? Edited June 12, 20169 yr by Dobbo
June 12, 20169 yr 'A Thousand Miles', hopefully. Really don't think too much of RR anymore. I think it's aged quite badly. G'won Darius! Smashing that top 7! *.* There's a reason why we have the #1 Darius forum <3
June 12, 20169 yr Author And the winner is... 1. Sugababes - Round Round FHh86ySgKrA Average Score: 8.88 Total Votes: 21 Highest Rating: 11 (Nick F1, SamJudd, ThePensmith & vibe) Lowest Rating: 4 (Jason) 2. Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles Cwkej79U3ek Average Score: 8.55 Total Votes: 21 Highest Rating: 11 (Chapman, Jimmy Jam & MACMOORE22) Lowest Rating: 0 (Jason) Close but no cigar for Vanessa Carlton! The piano-led 'A Thousand Miles' put up a strong fight but ultimately falls just short. The track peaked at #6 in Summer 2002 & is generally well remembered to this day. She's remained a relative one-hit wonder on these shores, her only other visit to the top 40 being a feature on Counting Crows cover 'Big Yellow Taxi'. The song however is definitely one of the all time pop greats IMO! But a big congratulations to Sugababes who win their 2nd Now Rate with their second UK #1 'Round Round'. Following 'Freak Like Me' it became a chart-topper in August that year among the time they were among their most successful. It received ten scores of either a 10 or 11 & only two scores lower than a 7 so the sheer consistency of high scoring was enough to see it come out on top. By no means one of the highest winning scores but far from the lowest as well! Thanks to the 20 other participants in this rate! Stats will be up shortly followed by the final Now Rate I'm planning on hosting (in terms of editions, I still aim to carry out one last grand finalé so watch this space :P)
