February 15, 20205 yr 29. Blondie - Denis 164 pts Stopped by : Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights, Brian and Michael - Matchstalk Men And Matchstalk Cats And Dogs Top points - M4NGO 25,AH Gold 23,ThePensmith 17,vibe 17 Blondie's first UK hit single. It's news to me that it's a cover of a 1963 song by the splendidly named American doo-wop group Randy & the Rainbows. Their version was called Denise. Awww 'Denis' is one of my all time favourite songs :wub: But it's also news to me that it's actually a cover, never knew that :o Edited February 15, 20205 yr by M4NGO

February 15, 20205 yr Not impressed at losing This Girl, Denis and Funkytown in quick succession... 26th better not add to my disappointment
February 15, 20205 yr Author 26. Madonna - Justify My Love 168 pts Stopped by : Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby Top points - ready for it 24,marcinjaro 23,vibe 21 Madonna has been crowned this week as Buzzjack's favourite female solo act but she just fails to get all three of her songs through semi 2. This song was co-written by Lenny Kravitz and Ingrid Chavez with the latter having to sue Kravitz two years later to get a writing credit. Np_Y740aReI
February 15, 20205 yr Author So these are the 25 songs to qualify,in chronological order. The song in 25th place had a score of 179 points so there was quite a big gap between that one and 'Justify My Love'. Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever Vienna Crazy For You What Have I Done To Deserve This? Push It Slight Return A Design For Life Born Slippy Song 2 Bitter Sweet Symphony Sunchyme Ray Of Light Right Here Right Now Murder On The Dancefloor Like I Love You White Flag Lose My Breath Speed Of Sound Foundations Rolling In The Deep Pompeii Let Her Go Take Me To Church Anywhere Nothing Breaks Like A Heart
February 15, 20205 yr Good results on the whole there, shame my top vote was one of them but only 2 of my top 15 out!
February 15, 20205 yr Author I was quite relieved myself that Vienna qualified. It was outside the top 25 for most of the week but in the end it went through quite comfortably.
February 15, 20205 yr After my earlier disappointment, I'm quite happy to see possibly Madonna's 11th best #2 go out in 26th place... 18 of my nominations this round went through and I like most of the other 7 so I can't complain, it was just an extraordinarily strong selection to choose from.
February 16, 20205 yr How ironic that ice ice baby stopped Justify My Love !! I didn’t know this. Never knew Denis was a cover 😱
February 16, 20205 yr What's ironic about Ice Ice Baby stopping Justify my Love? I actually thought Justify my Love had been a #1 but maybe I'm mixing it with the US
February 16, 20205 yr Because she was went on to date Vanilla I’ve JML did go to number 1 in the states .
February 16, 20205 yr Pretty good results here aside from The Prodigy falling so far short, I think the rest of my top 15 all qualified.
