The standard in the this group compared to the ones before is insane. My top four would probably have been my 10 if they were in a different groups. 'Think About Me' and 'Natural Blues' are comfortably in my top fifty songs ever.

RESULTS:

 

Wildcard Round

 

10. Le Youth ft. Dominique Young Unique - Dance With Me (53 Points)

 

 

Scraping in in tenth is a song from American proucer Le Youth (known in real life as Wes James), his highest peaking song in the UK and the last to reach the Top 100. I can't deny this is a tune :music: I'd never heard it before but certainly a discovery for me!

 

9. Moby - Natural Blues (55 Points)

 

 

I'm surprised this is so low because I honestly feel like there were tons of votes cast for this! A 2000 hit for American electronica musician Moby, I would say this is by far his most well-known songs, with its music video winning the MTV Europe Music Award for Best Video. For now, it's through to the wildcard round in ninth.

 

8. Lethal Bizzle ft. Diztortion – Fester Skank (57 Points)

 

 

Heding 15 years forward is Lethal Bizzle's madly catchy Fester Skank. It's original chart run where it peaked at #11 was fairly short, however he racked up quite a few more weeks after the tune was used in the BT adverts. A remix involving Fuse ODG, Chip, Stormzy & Wretch 32 was also fairly popular.

 

7. Brainbug - Nightmare (62 Points)

 

 

Don't kill me but I've no idea whether it's the original or the Sinister Strings Remix that reached #11, although one of them did and that's the one you've voted for. Released by Brainbug, aka Alberto Bertapelle (who unfortunately passed away in 2016), this was his highest-peaking single in the UK, with it also appearing in a number of soundtracks.

 

6. Miley Cyrus - See You Again (2008 Mix) (69 Points)

 

 

Just missing out on auto-qualifying (I say 'just', it's by just under 20 points :P ) is this rather funky bop Miley Cyrus released before she became the Miley we all know from 'Wrecking Ball'. The version which did chart (i think) is a Rock Mafia remix from 2008, the song being about teenage romance :rolleyes:

 

I'll keep the Top 5 tense for a bit longer ;)

YES for Brainbug! (and the Sinister Strings Mix is the original, confusingly enough)

 

good to see Le Youth and Lethal Bizzle through to the wildcard round too.

Auto-Qualification

 

5. Blur - Coffee & TV (96 Points)

 

 

No scraping this time round, as there is a clearly obvious Top 5, finished by this amazing(ly long) tune by Blur. From their sixth studio album '13', a song about alcoholism with the lead guitarist Graham Coxon singing lead vocals as opposed to Albarn. Apparently, it missed out on a Top 10 place because sales figures were not actually recorded.

 

4. P!nk - Family Portrait (100 Points)

 

 

At #4 is a song from P!nk's second album 'Missundaztood' (which Adele apparently loved), portraying her as a child looking at the arguments her broken family were having. It reached Top 10 in most of Europe, but unfortunately just missed out here.

 

3. Green Day - Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) (121 Points)

 

 

Even if you don't recognise the name, I can guarantee you've heard this song. A staple at events and parties, this is a song from Green Day's fifth album 'Nimrod', with a music video that also won an MTV Music Award. One of the band's most well-known songs I have to say!

 

2. Adele - Set Fire to the Rain (126 Points)

 

 

At #2 is one of the most famous #11s of all time, mainly because it reached #1 in America but didn't even get a Top 10 placing here. The second single from her second album '21', this song reached #1 in too many countries to name in this list but not here! There was also a lack of a music video, the only video available being a live performance.

 

1. Alanis Morissette - Ironic (154 Points)

 

 

And no surprise at Ironic being at #1 (although a little for me bc I don't remember it getting that many votes whilst Green Day seemed to get tons :unsure: ) Everyone knows this song, even if it is the butt of every joke seeing as it doesn't contain any correct examples of irony (although isn't that ironic in itself ;) ) Although that popularity has clearly helped it here, with it getting to #1!

Much more of a spread of votes on this one! :o

I also just realised this is the second sixth place finish for Miley Cyrus :lol: reminiscent of her constantly peaking at #11 with these singles.

 

Though I imagine Party In The USA should have no problems making the final..
