May 20, 20196 yr Author 11. Gotye featuring Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know Average score - 7.923 (more 10s) Writer - Wally de Backer Top scores : 10 - AH Gold,Liam,Bjork,Dircadirca,dandy*,zeus555,Popchartfreak,Mark223,PeteFromLeeds,danG,xajnipi,coi,Jade Low scores : 0 - ThePensmith, 2 - King Rollo, 3 - Spiceboy This was voted last year as Buzzjack's favourite one hit wonder and it's the highest placed of the one hit wonders that made it to the final here. It uses a sample from the song 'Seville' by Luiz Bonfa. It spent five non-consecutive weeks at no.1 and was the best selling single of 2011. 8UVNT4wvIGY
May 20, 20196 yr So 50% of the top 10 belong to Britney or Madonna... The other 5 are a mixed selection, but they're all on my iPod, as indeed are Baby One More Time and Like A Prayer, so I'd be happy with any of those 7 winning.
May 21, 20196 yr Author 10. Britney Spears - Toxic Average score - 8 Writers - Cathy Dennis,Christian Karlsson,Pontus Winnberg,Henrik Jonback Top scores : 11 - Nick F1, 10 - marcinjaro,Liam,Jack,Rush,Jester,Spiceboy,Nimbus,oof,Popchartfreak,brokenrecords,ThePensmith,dj tim e,Mark223,Jade,Bre Low scores : 1 - jimwatts, 3 - King Rollo, 4.5 - Jason,coi From 2004,Britney Spears' fourth no.1. It samples the Bollywood song 'Tere Mere Beech Mein' and won Britney her first and only Grammy award. The song had previously been rejected by Kylie Minogue. LOZuxwVk7TU
May 21, 20196 yr Author 9. Madonna - Hung Up Average score - 8.013 Writers - Madonna,Stuart Price,Benny Andersson,Bjorn Ulvaeus Top scores : 11 - Rush, 10 - marcinjaro,AH Gold,vibe,Liam,N-S,Chapman,zeus555,Nimbus,Popchartfreak,dj tim e,Jack Jones,xajnipi Low scores : 0 - jimwatts, 0.5 - Jason, 1 - King Rollo And here's another sample,Dobbo. I think everyone will know this is from Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight). It was only the second time Benny and Bjorn had allowed one of their songs to be used. This is the highest placed song in the top 100 from this century. I would not have predicted this to be Buzzjack's favourite 21st Century no.1 single. EDwb9jOVRtU
May 21, 20196 yr Author 8. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody Average score - 8.026 Writer - Freddie Mercury Top scores : 11 - King Rollo,dj tim e,xajnipi, 10 - Scene,marcinjaro,vibe,Liam,Bjork,Chapman,dobbo,Chez Wombat,zeus555,jimwatts,Mark223,Jade,Bre Low scores : -1 - Jack, 4 - dandy*,JackJones And here is my own favourite no.1 single. It's the first song so far to receive three scores of 11. It might have been a possible contender to win this poll but there will always be a few people who don't like it at all or are just too familiar with it. Only four singles have spent a longer amount of time at no.1. fJ9rUzIMcZQ
May 21, 20196 yr #8 is higher than I expected for 'Bohemian Rhapsody' tbh, there's always been a noticeable minority of people on here who don't like it. It's really quite an unusual song to be so widely acclaimed!
May 21, 20196 yr Author 7. Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger Average score - 8.077 Writer - Noel Gallagher Top scores : 11 - Jester, 10 - marcinjaro,Bjork,N-S,M4NG0,Chapman,dobbo,Chez Wombat,zeus555,oof,ThePensmith,PeteFromLeeds,xajnipi,coi,Jade,Bre Low scores : 0 - Jack, 2 - Liam This spent just one week at no.1 in 1996 and was Oasis' second chart topper. It finished in 4th place when the Official Charts Company did their own public poll of no.1 singles in 2012. cmpRLQZkTb8
May 21, 20196 yr Well that's two of the best songs left going in one fell swoop :( Must admit, I do enjoy Rather Be/Somebody That I Used to Know but they feel quite absurdly high amongst all these classics, they haven't aged all that well.
May 21, 20196 yr I was going to say now watch all the songs above it be far inferior but DLBIA is incredible as well, if we take out Hung Up this is a solid top 10 so far.
May 21, 20196 yr Author 6. Shakespears Sister - Stay Average score - 8.115 Writers - Siobhan Fahey,Marcella Detroit,David A Stewart Top scores : 10 - marcinjaro,Liam,Bjork,M4NG0,Chapman,dandy*,oof,Popchartfreak,JackJones,Jade Low scores : 4 - vibe, 4.5 - Jason,coi This coincides nicely with Shakespears Sister performing the song on the Graham Norton show two weeks ago and releasing a new single this week with a tour to follow. 'Stay' spent eight weeks at no.1 in 1992,the longest running no.1 by a female group. YCYaALgW80c
May 21, 20196 yr I've always found Stay a little overrated but it's a very powerful song. Quite a few of my friends were all born when that was #1 due it's seriously impressive stint at the top.
May 21, 20196 yr Ah, gutted about Oasis going out but not too surprised I suppose. Tainted Love getting top five? I have to say I'm surprised.
May 21, 20196 yr The top 20 is panning out quite well, a great mix of styles and eras. Delighted to see Stay this high, I adored that back in 1992.
