May 22, 20196 yr An all-around excellent top 5 there, both are those are undeniable classics from Madonna and are certainly needed right now as a reminder she was actually good once after her recent Eurovision performance :ph34r: YES at Heart of Glass as well, an absolutely wonderful song and I'm so glad it's held in such high regard on here (and the rest of the world obvs) :wub: Thanks for this Rollo, I enjoyed reading the results even though I didn't comment much!

May 26, 20196 yr King Rollo, thank you very much for your fantastic idea of Buzzjack's Ultimate UK Number 1. Thanks for your hard work, systematicity and dedication. I am happy I was a part of your project, as I voted in all the parts. I am truly satisfied with the results as my "11" is actually the Number 1. All the best!
May 26, 20196 yr I do think we need some sort of competition to follow this, number 2s probably not though, they aren't really as outstanding generally (although there are a few superb tracks) and we all know it would be won by Wonderwall :D
May 26, 20196 yr On the basis that Don't Look Back In Anger came top ten, I'd say it had a pretty good chance. What else do we think would challenge it? Ray of Light because they're all Madonna stans? Perhaps Ariana with One Last Time or NTLTC? Edited May 26, 20196 yr by coi
May 26, 20196 yr When I ran 90s number twos Common People won rather convincingly and Wonderwall finished 9th!
May 26, 20196 yr When I ran 90s number twos Common People won rather convincingly and Wonderwall finished 9th! That would be a fantastic winner to be fair! I'm guessing it would have been a while ago though because I can't see results like that happening now with these voters?
May 26, 20196 yr Author Vienna won the Radio 2 poll of no.2 singles a few years ago. That might have a chance or maybe Fairytale Of New York. As for the next poll,I think the lounge mods mentioned Ultimate Act or Ultimate Album when they were doing their survey on what people would like.

As for the next poll,I think the lounge mods mentioned Ultimate Act or Ultimate Album when they were doing their survey on what people would like. Those would be run in the lounge - if you want to run an ultimate number 2 rate there'd be no problem having that here at the same time.
