January 16, 20205 yr Golden Brown and Tubthumping out already?! This is already looking weird. The Stranglers released some brilliant singles. Tubthumpimg is great fun but I prefer this... H4758hDY9fY

January 17, 20205 yr Author 17 points Randy Crawford - One Day I'll Fly Away Def Leppard - When Love And Hate Collide The Glitter Band - Goodbye My Love Bruno Mars - Locked Out Of Heaven Rag'n'Bone Man - Human Sidney Samson - Riverside Taylor Swift - Shake It Off Urban Cookie Collective - The Key The Secret Kanye West featuring Jamie Foxx - Gold Digger L8vAz3uqKig 'One Day I'll Fly Away' from 1980 is Randy Crawford's biggest hit and was covered by Vaults for the 2016 John Lewis Christmas advert. Gary Glitter's backing band had a successful chart run of their own with six top ten singles from 1974 to 1976 including 'Goodbye My Love'.
January 17, 20205 yr Author 18 points Mariah Carey - We Belong Together Michael Jackson - Give In To Me Marillion - Kayleigh Outkast - Ms Jackson Steps - Better Best Forgotten 2 Hearts by Kylie Minogue was given 18 points by Auld Lang Peen but only reached no.4. OQ4oaLUilBc Fish wrote the lyrics to this song after splitting up with a woman called Kay-Lee to concentrate on touring with Marillion. The name Kayleigh as it's spelt didn't exist before 1985 but as a result of this single being so popular, it eventually became one of the top 30 names given to newly born girls. Although it's still Marillion's best known song,most of their fans are unlikely to put it in their top 50 songs by the band and I only gave it three points. Edited January 17, 20205 yr by King Rollo
January 17, 20205 yr Author 19 points Paula Abdul and The Wild Pair - Opposites Attract Altered Images - Happy Birthday Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocelli - Time To Say Goodbye (Con Te Partiro) Kelis - Trick Me Kym Marsh - Cry Queen - Somebody To Love Slade - Far Far Away S Club Juniors - One Step Closer U2 and Green Day - The Saints Are Coming kijpcUv-b8M I'm surprised that I'm the only person who gave points to 'Somebody To Love'. Elsewhere,we have the only top 5 hit for Altered Images and the first of three consecutive no.2 singles by S Club Juniors.
January 17, 20205 yr Author 20 points The B-52's - Love Shack Dr. Alban - It's My Life Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Pleasuredome M - Pop Muzik puFcUSfyTJM If I was basing my vote on the full 14 minute album version of this song,I would have given it 30 points but I only gave 20 points to this shorter,remixed single version. 'Easy Lover' by Phil Collins and Philip Bailey prevented Frankie Goes To Hollywood from becoming the first act to reach no.1 with their first four singles. We also have the excellent 'Pop Muzik' by M which reached no.1 in the US.
January 17, 20205 yr Have you included the 2 non eligible ones? I thought the cutoff would be 24 points but it looks like it will be 25 now.
January 17, 20205 yr Author My total doesn't include 2 Hearts as I checked that one before starting the results but it does include It's Not Right But It's OK as I didn't notice it wasn't a no.2 until Tuesday.
January 17, 20205 yr 'Gold Digger' and 'Ms Jackson' not making it :( (was I the only voters for those? I forget how many points I gave them)
January 18, 20205 yr Author 21 points Toni Braxton - Unbreak My Heart The Hollies - The Air That I Breathe Just Jack - Starz In Their Eyes The Supermen Lovers featuring Mani Hoffman - Starlight S Club 7 - S Club Party Cwt65tG2GI8 'The Air That I Breathe' is the Hollies' only top 5 single from the 70s. It was a cover of an Albert Hammond song from 1972. Hammond and his co-writer Mike Hazlewood successfully sued Radiohead in the 90s after claiming that their song 'Creep' bore some similarity to it. We also have Toni Braxton's 90s ballad and the Supermen Lovers' dance anthem.
January 18, 20205 yr Author 22 points Basshunter - All I Ever Wanted Harold Faltermeyer - Axel F 4-4-2 - Come On England The Kinks - Lola Zara Larsson - I Would Like Madonna - Beautiful Stranger Alex Party - Don't Give Me Your Life Britney Spears - I'm Not A Girl,Not Yet A Woman Simply Red - If You Don't Know Me By Now Sweet - Teenage Rampage NFwP2huyNzg From 1970,a classic from The Kinks. The album version mentions Coca-Cola which had to be changed to cherry cola for the single version to avoid it being banned by the BBC. Also on 22 points are Harold Faltermeyer's theme from Beverly Hills Cop,4-4-2's song in support of England at the 2004 European Championships and Simply Red's cover of the 1972 song by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes.
