Strange to see 'I Could Be The One' so low, it feels really popular on this site. My favourite 2010s song in the list too.

 

*refreshes* How is 'Your Woman' this low?!

 

I enjoy seeing 'oof' in the lists of lowest scorers though.

Gorillaz' only no.1 single,featuring Shaun Ryder on vocals. It was supposed to be called 'It's There' but was changed after Shaun's Manchester accent made it sound like he was singing "it's dare".

93. Eric Prydz - Call On Me

 

Average score - 6.487

 

Writers - Eric Prydz,Steve Winwood,Will Jennings

Top scores : 10 - AH Gold,Jason,Mark223,danG,Jade

Low scores : -1 - ThePensmith, 0 - dandy*,dj tim e

 

Helped by its raunchy video,this spent three weeks at no.1 in 2004 before being replaced by Robbie Williams' 'Radio'. It then returned to the top of the chart for a further two weeks. It samples Steve Winwood's 'Valerie' from 1982 which only reached no.51 but was a top 20 hit when remixed in 1987. It's technically not a sample as Steve ended up re-recording his vocal after Eric played the demo to him.

Whitney and Oasis still the only losses for me.

Don't you worry child is such a modern classic

Call on Me is just a silly song, doesn't deserve to be in here

89. Manic Street Preachers - If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next

 

Average score - 6.692

 

Writers - Nick Jones,James Dean Bradfield,Sean Moore

Top scores : 11 - Chez Wombat, 10 - marcinjaro,Jester,Popchartfreak,coi

Low scores : 0.5 - Jason, 1 - Spiceboy, 2.5 - Scene,oof

 

Taking its inspiration from the Spanish Civil War,this was the first of the Manics' two number 1s. The title comes from a Republican poster showing a photo of a dead child killed by the Nationalists. It's also the longest title of a no.1 single which doesn't include brackets.

 

Fantastic song, great to see the Manic Street Preachers do so well here!

87. Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power Of Love

 

Average score - 6.795

 

Writers - Holly Johnson,Peter Gill,Mark O'Toole,Brian Nash

Top scores : 10 - marcinjaro,AH Gold,NickF1,King Rollo

Low scores : 1 - ThePensmith, 2 - Scene, 3 - Spiceboy

 

The third of Frankie's three 1984 no.1 singles,this spent one week at no.1 before inevitably making way for Band Aid's 'Do They Know It's Christmas?'. The Nativity themed video,directed by Godley & Creme,has led to the song often being played on the radio at Christmas. Some of the cover versions and talent show performances of the song have been decent enough but this is still the only version worth listening to.

I'm sorry, but Kylie was always better than Mad Donna. :P
