Hoping for improvements for No More Sad Songs (top 5?) and Reggaetón Lento. And a high debut for Think About Us.

21 4.46 'Word Up!'

 

Lowest: Lee (0), Chapman (-1)

Highest: UltraReputation (10).

 

 

Last place, again. I actually think as far as charity covers, go, 'Word Up' is cute! I gave it a 6, which it fully deserves to me. It's something I'd go back to more than, say 'I Just Can't Get Enough' or 'Walk This Way'. The video is a hoot, too. (That doesn't mean something from Salute should absolutely not replaced this.

Yeah WU is one of my fave charity cover singles. It's so much fun! But a deserving last place.

The extended mix of 'Word Up' goes OFF. Shame it's last place again, but not surprising given that the girls don't really have any total duds (well, released as singles anyway).

20 5.6 'Cannonball'

 

Lowest: Tawdry Hepburn & blacksquare (0)

Highest: CardiiB (9.5), PAJ88 (9)

 

 

And keeping the trend of finishing bottom 2 is their coronation, winning single 'Cannonball'. It's such a simple yet effective winners single. One of the very best for me. I understand why they wanted nothing to do with it in the past, but I feel like they could get away with performing this on tour again and people actually be in awe of the performance! So beautiful. :wub:

I'm still p***ed at Word Up! for ridding 'Nothing Feels Like You' of single status.

Word Up definitely a worthy last place.

19 6.6 'Little Me'

 

Lowest: CardiiB (3)

Highest: Euphorique, Cqmerqn, PAJ88, Tawdry Hepburn, Jade (8) SamJudd(8.5)

 

 

Not a huge surprise that this one is out, it's usually one of the first to leave. As always, cute song, never should have been a single.

'Little Me' is a much better ballad than 'Change Your Life', forever dismayed at Buzzjack placing this lower than it.

18 6.64 'Change Your Life'

 

Lowest: Tawdry Hepburn (2) colinn (3) & shindymindy (4)

Highest: Rossco (10) & Liam (8.5)

 

 

Next to leave us is the cute bop, 'Change Your Life'. It's becoming a bit of a thing for LM to have at least one of these huge, empowering pop anthems on their albums. They seem to be getting better with each era too. I really love this. It's pop at it's purest :wub:

There were only 0.04 average points in it!

How Ya Doin' to drop next I predict. Also do agree that 'Little Me' shouldn't have been a single, it nearly killed the era, 'Towers' should have been the X-Mas single for that year, followed by 'Nothing Feels Like You/Word Up' as the comic relief single and then have 'Salute' as the final single.

I'll always dislike 'Little Me' more than 'Change Your Life' simply because the former robbed so many potential single choices, whereas DNA was a pretty weak album overall. Having said that, they're both cute songs, just bottom of an otherwise stellar single discography.

The exact same placings as previously then!

Cannonball is better than both Little Me and Change Your Life and that's the tea

Nope, How Ya Doin is still here!

17 6.98 'How Ya Doin' (Feat. Missy Elliott)'

 

Lowest: Lee (2)

Highest: JosephAvery (10) Colin, Slick,...ready for it (9)

 

 

 

Another one of the usual suspects here, 'How Ya Doin', one of the girls' only two singles not to be certificated. I would have ago at you all, because to me this is a perfectly serviceable bop, bit to be honest, a 6.98 average is great, and probably slightly more than it deserves, and the songs about all pretty much deserve to be where they are.

I'll always have a soft spot for How Ya Doin - definitely their most underrated single. It's a cute homage to the nineties. bop~
