Forever is over is utter garbage, cannot believe it even made the top 100. Also cannot believe that their team thought this was the single to go with over Ego as the lead... Erm what!?!?

Forever Is Over is very average but it's still better than the awful Not Giving Up.

85 | Fifth Harmony (ft. Kid Ink) - Worth It | 6.25 (more 11's)

At #85 is the first of two 'on hiatus' Fifth Harmony songs to feature. 'Worth It' was released as the 2nd single from their first studio album and was their first proper breakthrough single, being a fairly sized hit in both the US and the UK. I remember thinking prior to this single that they were never going to make it at all, so I was surprised to see this do as well as it did. I always thought it was a shame they didn't follow it up with any other single - 'This Is How We Roll' would have been perfect and is the smash hit that never happened!!

At #84 is a one hit wonder Xenomania produced anthem from Mini Viva. 'Left My Heart In Tokyo' was a fair hit in the UK, peaking at #07 and initially having some staying power - what a bizzare chart run for it however! Unfortunately subsequent singles 'I Wish' and 'One Touch' flopped completely and they were never heard of again. Britt Love continued to make music which had little to no success and Frankee joined M.O for a number of years until leaving the group last year.

At #83 is the second Pussycat Dolls single to drop out, 'When I Grow Up' was released as the lead single from their second studio album 'Doll Domination' and the first without Carmit. It was a hit in both the UK and the US although not quite as big as hits from their debut era. I always find that people either love or hate this song - there's no middle ground really. I loved it at the time but I wouldn't say it is one of my faves from them anymore and not one I go back to too often.

When I Grow Up is a PHENOMENAL pop song and that's WAY too low for it :(

Forever is over slaying way more than I expected 😮😍 one of my favourite girlband songs ever *.*

 

Black heart still in as well 😮

At #82 is another one hit wonder (in the UK at least, in the US they have had three #01's!) Wilson Phillips with 'Hold On'. It peaked at #06 here and recently had a bit of a revival thanks to the movie Bridesmaids, personally that's what introduced me to the song. It even re-charted in 2011 at #63 for a couple of weeks thanks to Bridesmaids! It's a pleasant enough song if very 90's sounding and is just a lot of fun. I don't know how you could give this particular song a -1 but each to their own!

At #81 is the first single by the Sugababes to drop out! 'Run For Cover' was released as the third single from their debut album 'One Touch'. It wasn't a huge hit for them however it is fondly remembered of by fans of the original lineup of the girls - who only actually released one album worth of material. It is a nice ballad and showcases their vocals perfectly even if I'm not as crazy about it as others are.

That's all for today. I shall try and do some more tomorrow! :D

'Worth It' is very of it's time I think. It's ok, but has dated pretty quickly imo. Ew. That Mini Viva song is overrated. Always has been. The vocals make it so boring! :(

 

'When I Grow Up' is what I call a structured mess! The production is all over the place but it really works. So good. Wilson Phillips song is a classic. So big! 'Run For Cover' is one of SB best. It's a shame it never really took off properly. :(

If anyone has time or patience to do this, would someone be up for doing a Boyband version of this and then throwing the top 25 of each rate into a big rate?

 

Basically throw every boyband uk top 40 hit from the 90's onwards and get Buzzjack to vote for minimum of 10 and maximum of 40 from that list and get them dwindled down to a top 100 to rate?

 

Just an idea. If someone does fancy doing this, lemme know either via here or PM! :D

Haha as if I gave "Hold On" a 10 😂 It's a tune, I too was introduced to it by Bridesmaids. I didn't expect it to last so long here though so I'm pleasantly surprised that my tactical 10 worked.

 

I can't believe "When I Grow Up" had such longevity in the chart! I do enjoy it but it is so of its time, although a lot of PCD's music is.

Mini Viva would have been a -1 for me, probably the most obnoxious song on here oop

 

'Not Gonna Get Us' is wayyyyy too low, it's so much better than 'All The Things She Said'! 'Hold On', 'When I Grow Up', 'Worth It' and 'Push It' deserved better too.

That Mini Viva song is overrated. Always has been. The vocals make it so boring! :(

 

I really like the song and l love Xenomania's production on it but I see what you mean about the vocals. I think it would be so much better with Girls Aloud's vocals on it instead.

A lot of the songs in this rate were played on Radio 1 today for Radio 1's Greatest Hits! Pure Shores, Black Coffee, Push The Button, All Fired Up, The Promise, No Good Advice, Independent Women Part 1, Wannabe, Scandalous, and Move :wub:

Wilson Phillips beating Mini Viva AND When I Grow Up????

 

Really shocked at some of these songs that are getting -1s too. No accounting for taste!

The only casualty so far is Run For Cover .

 

Easily their best song (apart from Stronger)

Imagine being DEAF enough to give that a 1 omg, what a tune

 

 

:lol: this made me cry laughing as I am actually deaf and I scored it a 1 :lol:
