March 22, 20196 yr Author 33. Mel & Kim - Respectable 166pts Writers - Mike Stock,Matt Aitken,Pete Waterman Top points - Scene 25,Nimbus 24,AH Gold 23 The second Stock Aitken Waterman produced single to reach no.1 and there would be many more to follow over the next few years. Mel sadly died just three years later. Kim was recently seen driving around the country with Midge Ure for a three part series on 80s music for BBC4. ykDsmAqExH8

March 22, 20196 yr The last 5 voters put Mr Probz out of the top 25. I'm pretty sure it was top 25 before Michaelking21 vote. :( Edited March 22, 20196 yr by Jason
March 22, 20196 yr I really hated Waves at the time. Now, I do like it as a nostalgic sort of track but there are so many better alternatives in the genre. Also, Nothing Really Matters is an INCREDIBLE ballad, gutted that didn't get even a modicum of Waves' success.
March 22, 20196 yr Author Yes,Waves was qualifying quite comfortably until the last few votes came in on Sunday.

The Saturdays featuring Sean Paul - What About Us 177pts Writers - Camille Purcell,Ollie Jacobs,Philip Jacobs Top points - Wall 25,M477h3w 25,miichaelking21 25 A hat-trick of maximum scores is still not enough for this to qualify. It was the Saturdays' 14th single and only number 1. vH-sqgv9RLQ
March 22, 20196 yr It is funny to remember how popular The Saturdays were here 10 years ago and now they can't be top 25 in this number ones popularity thing. Oh dear!
March 23, 20196 yr 'Waves' and 'What About Us' both only just missed out on my votes iirc, this was a much stronger set than the previous round.
