46. Mark Snow - The X Files 82 pts

 

Stopped by : The Prodigy - Firestarter

Top points - jszmiles 24,JackJones 18,Chez Wombat 12

 

The huge popularity of the X Files in 1996 led to its theme tune being released as a single. It went straight in at number 2 and spent three weeks there.

 

I can't believe such classic and one of the most recognized movie themes went so low?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I Can't Wait and Barcelona are just ok and the other 3 are awfuk imo.

Stopped by : Shapeshifters - Lola's Theme

Top points - AH Gold 25,girlsaloudjunkie 24,SevenSeize 18

 

From 2004,this was a charity single for Sport Relief.

 

Was hoping Calvin Harris and Example could make it through but didn't think they would. Other than that, no major losses so far although a few from the lower end of my votes have dropped out already.

The second of two top 10 hits for Fifth Harmony. It was originally called 'Work' but the title was changed to avoid clashing with Rihanna's song of the same name which came out a few weeks earlier.

Top points - coi 25,Darrenj 21,Mark223 21

 

This spent six weeks in the top 5 in 2008. It returned to the top 20 four years later after a contestant on The Voice performed his version of the song.

 

The Man Who Can't Be Moved not qualifying?! :( It deserved to do so much better here!

Never knew that. Though 'Work From Home' seems to make much more sense as a title anyway given the overall lyrical theme of the song!
