Posted June 16, 20178 yr danG, PeteFromLeeds and awardinary present... We're back! The return of the 'Ultimate' series is here, and this time we will be pitting most of the songs unlucky enough to miss the top ten by one place together in a race to find which song deserved a top ten peak the most. Every #11 peaking single from 1980-2016 will be included in the group stages. There are eight groups altogether and two groups will be open each week across four weeks. Simply vote for your top ten songs from the list below. The top five from each group will qualify to the final, and the next five will qualify to the wildcard round. If you wish to remind yourselves of the following songs, most of them are on the following Spotify playlist (thanks to The Hit Parade for compiling).

June 16, 20178 yr Like quite a few of these groups, it includes a song I like by an act I generally dislike and one I don't like by an act I do like. No names though. In this case, the Clubhouse having a hit in the early 80s are the same people who had a bigger hit in the 90s, but the song isn't very similar. Edited June 16, 20178 yr by The Hit Parade

June 16, 20178 yr +10 Freemasons Feat. Amanda Wilson – Love On My Mind (2005 had 4 dance tracks peaking at number 11 which is a lot, this is definitely the best of them for me) +09 Phats & Small – Tonite (Freemasons' two producers were of course both connected in some way to Phats and Small too, this is a very good tune, even if it is not really remembered and I only discovered it recently) +08 Nirvana – Lithium ('Yeah yeah-ee yeah') +07 Marina & The Diamonds – Primadonna (loved this at the time and still do, what a great tune) +06 Electric Light Orchestra – All Over The World (great uplifting song, I really like a lot of ELO's songs) +05 Lighthouse Family – Ocean Drive (what a classic of the easy listening genre this is, I assume this still a favourite of Heart type radio stations, surprised it only reached number 11) +04 Angelic – It'S My Turn (not one of the better trance songs of 2000 imo but still good though) +03 Stone Roses – Ten Storey Love Song (definitely one of my favourites from Stone Roses) +02 Gala – Let A Boy Cry (good tune, only heard this today, the vocal reminds me a lot of TaraElla's vocal style tbh) +01 Coldcut Feat. Lisa Stansfield – People Hold On (knew this as it was made into a remix in 2005, 'Lil Love by Little Love' which imo makes it much better, the original is still good though)
