There are some great songs on that list and not one of them is someone 'featuring' someone else. I'm guessing the average age of people on that forum is higher than it is on Buzzjack.

The deadline has now passed. Thanks to all those who voted. I will add up the scores tomorrow so if anyone would still like to vote,if they post their list on Monday,I will add their scores on at the end.

Sorry, I'll vote in the next round but it's just too daunting a task to even begin trying to narrow down such a long list ~

Apologies for being late.

For these results,I'm just going to give the points scores for the songs that didn't qualify. I will let you know the top first round points scorers after the final has finished. It will be interesting to see if the song with the most points in the first round goes on to win the final.

Edited January 18, 20196 yr by Sausage Rollo

I wonder how many points were necessary to qualify top 200. :w00t:

1 point

 

Baby D - Let Me Be Your Fantasy

The Beatles - I Feel Fine

Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas?

Alice Cooper - School's Out

Clean Bandit featuring Sean Paul and Anne-Marie - Rockabye

Drake - Nice For What

Doris Day - Whatever Will Be,Will Be (Que Sera,Sera)

Estelle featuring Kanye West - American Boy

Kylie Minogue - Hand On Your Heart

 

 

The Christmas no.1 from 2016 has just one point along with the best selling single from the 80s. 'Nice For What' was the only Drake single chosen where he is the lead artist. He will appear again as a featured act. Doris Day is still going at the age of 96. These 9 singles still did better than the 942 no.1s that didn't receive any votes.

 

 

I wonder how many points were necessary to qualify top 200. :w00t:

 

That will be revealed in due course.

 

School's Out is a classic! Shame on you all D:

Billie - Because We Want To

The Beatles - Hello Goodbye

Rosemary Clooney and the Mellomen - Mambo Italiano

Eminem - Without Me

Gabrielle - Rise

George Michael and Elton John - Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me

Gary Numan - Cars

Nicole - A Little Peace

Take That - Patience

 

 

'Cars' is the first of my own songs to fall by the wayside. 15 year old Billie Piper was the youngest artist to debut at no.1 with 'Because We Want To'. 'A Little Peace' is the most recent Eurovision winner to reach no.1. It's unlikely to ever happen again.

Althea & Donna - Uptown Top Ranking

Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star

The Beatles - Daytripper/We Can Work It Out

Beyonce & Shakira - Beautiful Liar

Dappy - No Regrets

JLS - Everybody In Love

The Tornados - Telstar

 

 

'Video Killed The Radio Star' is a classic new wave pop song. If you like it,I would recommend two of the follow-up singles 'The Plastic Age' and 'Elstree'. 'Telstar' from 1962 was years ahead of its time and could be regarded as the first synthpop no.1. 'Uptown Top Ranking' is a great one hit wonder.

The Animals - The House Of The Rising Sun

The Black Eyed Peas - Where Is The Love?

The Kinks - You Really Got Me

Lady Gaga and Beyonce - Telephone

The Move - Blackberry Way

John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John - Summer Nights

Phyllis Nelson - Move Closer

The Prodigy - Firestarter

The Real Thing - You To Me Are Everything

Steps - Heartbeat/Tragedy

Will Young - Leave Right Now

 

 

What do 'Video Killed The Radio Star' and 'Firestarter' have in common? They were both co-written by Trevor Horn. He and the rest of the Art Of Noise managed to get co-writing credits on 'Firestarter' after it used a sample from their song Close (To The Edit). The Kinks virtually invented both the guitar riff and punk rock in 1964 with 'You Really Got Me'. I thought 'Summer Nights' might get more than just 4 points. The other no.1 from Grease,'You're The One That I Want' didn't receive any votes.

Christina Aguilera - Beautiful

Brotherhood Of Man - Angelo

Busted - Crashed The Wedding

PSY - Gangnam Style

Cliff Richard and The Shadows - Summer Holiday

Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk

Lisa Stansfield - All Around The World

The Seekers - I'll Never Find Another You

Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger

Usher featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris - Yeah!

 

 

'Uptown Funk' and 'Gangnam Style' are both huge worldwide hits from the last few years while 'Eye Of The Tiger' starts with one of the most recognisable guitar riffs. 'Angelo' by Brotherhood Of Man came to prominence over Christmas when Shirley and Tina sang it in the Queen Vic in Eastenders.

The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night

McFly - Obviously

Peters and Lee - Welcome Home

Rihanna featuring Drake - What's My Name?

Shanks & Bigfoot - Sweet Like Chocolate

 

 

I haven't heard 'Welcome Home' for a long time,not in full anyway. I know the chorus is used in an ad. I'm glad someone voted for it. For a while in the 70s,you couldn't escape Peters And Lee. They were regulars on every light entertainment show,rather like George Ezra recently. It was always a job to hear Dianne Lee singing,she was always drowned out by Lennie Peters' big voice and was never given any solo lines to sing.

Chris Brown - Turn Up The Music

Rosemary Clooney - This Ole House

Melanie C - I Turn To You

Craig David - 7 Days

The Honeycombs - Have I The Right

Olive - You're Not Alone

Omi - Cheerleader (Felix Jaehn remix)

Rachel Platten - Fight Song

Elvis Presley - Good Luck Charm

Timbaland featuring Keri Hilson and D.O.E. - The Way I Are

The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name

 

 

'You're Not Alone' is one of the best no.1s from the 90s. No one voted for Shaky's 'This Ole House' but Rosemary Clooney's original version picks up 7 points. One hit wonder Rachel Platten is here and 'Have I The Right' by The Honeycombs is now the theme tune for the BBC sitcom 'Hold The Sunset'.

Beats International - Dub Be Good To Me

Duke Dumont featuring Jax Jones - I Got U

Europe - The Final Countdown

Nelly Furtado - Maneater

Jess Glynne - Don't Be So Hard On Yourself

Owl City - Fireflies

Rihanna - Diamonds

Shapeshifters - Lola's Theme

 

 

Europe's timeless classic gets eight points. Norman Cook had no.1s as Fatboy Slim and as part of The Housemartins but the one from him you chose was from his time with Beats International. 'Dub Be Good To Me' was his re-working of the SOS Band's 'Just Be Good To Me'.

The kinks deserved better.
