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. We're now at the Final (yay) and the songs you have been voting for over the past 5 weeks have come together in one last group.

Simply vote for your top ten songs from the list below. We're in the Final so there's no Top 5 qualifying, it's a battle for positions!

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).

I've done the playlist for this. Again, 'Diva' and 'Hold Up' weren't available, whilst 'Toca Me' is only in a remix form and 'Holiday' is in a medley with 'Boulevard Of Broken Dreams' so you'll have to use your skip button.
