24. Rihanna - Only Girl (In The World)

 

 

 

Total Score: 31

Total Votes: 8

Average Score per Vote: 3.88 [24th]

Highest Score: 8 (Spinning Adam)

 

 

In last place in the final is Now 77 winner Only Girl. With the lowest overall score & lowest average score it couldn't put up much of fight. This leaves Rihanna with just We Found Love in the running.

Throwing all my support behind a Roger Sanchez win! :wub: My favourite song of all-time.

 

I'd expect nothing less than a 'Bad Romance' or 'Toxic' win but both are amazing so I would be okay with that.

Total Score: 47

Total Score: 52 [no 9's]

Total Votes: 11

Total Score: 52 [received a 9]

Total Votes: 11

Average Score per Vote: 4.73 [=16th]

Highest Score: 10 (Jonjo)

 

 

The first of 3 Britney tracks to fall is Now 58 winner, Everytime. Like Cry Me A River, it picked up solid points towards the end & along with its one 10 score received a 9 also to edge it ahead of the former.

18. Lily Allen - The Fear

 

 

 

Total Score: 53

Total Votes: 12

Average Score per Vote: 4.42 [19th]

Highest Score: 10 (HarryEzra)

 

 

Now 72 winner The Fear appears next. It picked up 12 votes & was a generally consistent scorer across the board.

17. Spiller feat. Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)

 

 

 

Total Score: 55

Total Votes: 13

Average Score per Vote: 4.23 [22nd]

Highest Score: 10 (Chapman)

 

 

In 17th is Groovejet (If This Ain't Love). The Now 46 victor earned 13 votes however due to its low average score per vote ends up within the bottom half.

16. Cher - Believe

 

 

 

Total Score: 57

Total Votes: 13

Average Score per Vote: 4.38 [20th]

Highest Score: 8 (Dobbo)

 

 

One of the earliest winners (of Now 42), Cher's Believe finishes in 16th. It was one of only two tracks to not score a 9 or a 10 (along with last-placer Only Girl) yet managed a good number of overall votes.

15. Fragma - Toca's Miracle

 

 

 

Total Score: 58 [fewer votes]

Total Votes: 8

Average Score per Vote: 7.25 [1st]

Highest Score: 10 (Dobbo)

 

 

Now 45 champion Toca's Miracle finishes in 15th despite earning only 8 votes, the joint second fewest. That fact meant it earnt the highest average score per vote in the entire final.

  • Author

14. Massive Attack - Teardrop

 

 

 

Total Score: 58 [more votes]

Total Votes: 9

Average Score per Vote: 6.44 [7th]

Highest Score: 10 (Taylor Jago)

 

 

Another early winner next, the winner of 40, Teardrop. Much like Toca's Miracle, it was an infrequent yet high impact scoring track, ending in 7th in the average score table. It edged ahead of the aforementioned song due to picking up 1 more vote.

  • Author

13. Spice Girls - Wannabe

 

 

 

Total Score: 59

Total Votes: 13

Average Score per Vote: 4.54 [18th]

Highest Score: 10 (vibe)

 

 

Next out is in fact the earliest song of all to feature in the final. Winner of Now 34, Wannabe was an early leading contender but it's votes & therefore score dried up in the mid to late stages.

12. t.A.T.u. - All The Things She Said

 

 

 

Total Score: 60

Total Votes: 9

Average Score per Vote: 6.67 [4th]

Highest Score: 10 (Riser & RobinJuanPersie)

 

 

Now 54 victor All The Things She Said just makes the top half. It picked up 60 points from just 9 votes putting it near the top of the average scorers list & is the first song in this rank to achieve 2 top scores.

11. Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone

 

 

 

Total Score: 61

Total Votes: 14

Average Score per Vote: 4.36 [21st]

Highest Score: 10 (Ultraviolence1989)

 

 

Just missing the top 10 is the Now 62 champion, Since U Been Gone. In contrast to the previous track it was a very frequent scorer, picking up exactly half of the total entrants' votes but ended 4th last in average scorers chart thus meaning it just falls short of the elite bracket.

So this leaves us with a top, top 10 of:

 

All Saints - Pure Shores

Britney Spears - ...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears - Toxic

Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe

Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne - Rather Be

Fatboy Slim - Right Here, Right Now

Lady Gaga - Bad Romance

Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris - We Found Love

Robyn & Kleerup - With Every Heartbeat

Roger Sanchez - Another Chance

 

 

Results to continue in roughly an hour, who will come out on top?

I really CAN'T at 'Everytime' being as low as 19... I was confident of a top 5 placing :\ WTH!?

 

Especially with that Fatboy Slim rubbish managing to make the top 10 :puke: :puke:

 

Yay for Roger though <3
