December 10, 20222 yr Going against the grain of opinions and saying a good top 2 imo but Lene in the top 2 would've been preferred in place of one of these two.
December 20, 20222 yr 1st Place i1L2lToMlB4 Taking the win of this set with 20 votes [58.82%] is Mary Mary with 'Shackles (Praise You)'. The song peaked at #5 in June 2000 and is still to this day a much loved classic. They are also regarded as a one hit wonder despite looking up Polyhex and noticing they actually had another single make top 40 which I've never heard of and lasted one week in the 30's before sliding to 55 and out. 2nd Place owJHNSF9bm0 Finishing in runner up podium is Girls Aloud with 'Love Machine' which peaked at #2 in September from their 2nd album What Will The Neighbours Say? It picked up 14 votes [41.18] and gave Mary Mary a decent fight but not close enough. I'd rank it probably in the middle of their discography and the video is great too. 3rd Alicia Keys - No One [48.39%] (15 votes out of 31) 4th Toploader - Dancing In The Moonlight [40.00%] (14 votes out of 35) 5th Ordinary Boys - Boys Will Be Boys [43.59%] (17 votes out of 39) 6th Take That - Greatest Day [40.00%] (14 votes out of 35) 7th Darren Hayes - Insatiable [34.21%] (13 votes out of 38) 8th Akon Feat Kardinal Offishall & Colby O’Donis - Beautiful [32.35%] (11 votes out of 34) 9th Wayne Wonder - No Letting Go [30.00%] (9 votes out of 30) 10th The Game Feat 50 Cent - Hate It Or Love It [46.43%] (13 votes out of 29)

December 21, 20222 yr Will there be a 41-50 champion of champions? :) Edit - we haven’t finished #50 yet oops! Good thing you mentioned as I forgot about that part :lol: yeah I'll do that when #50's finish up. ^_^ Edited December 21, 20222 yr by A Roba's Tale
December 31, 20222 yr 1st dhZUsNJ-LQU Correct me if I'm mistaken but is this the first time Oasis have won a 2000's Survivor? :o Released in June 2002, 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' had to make do stalling at #2 behind the Elvis and JXL track. Absolutely brilliant song anyhow so can't say it's not deserved really. It also wins the battle of preferred #2 peaking songs that made up our top 2 from 2000 and 2002 respectively! Runner Up Qnynn_O71f0 Putting in an impressive battle and at a couple of occasions it appeared very equal, Samantha Mumba's 'Gotta Be You' picked up 14 votes to land in runner up place. It was Samantha's debut single which ironically also reached number 2. It's a fun pop track and she never really put a foot wrong for me. What's a pretty interesting discography stat is that all her releases between 2000 up to 2002 were all top 10 hits and then she seemed to just up and left without putting out any more songs to trouble the charts again. 3rd Blue - If You Come Back (16 Votes Out Of 36) [44.44] 4th Cassie - Me & U (11 Votes Out Of 30) [36.67] 5th Simon Webbe - Lay Your Hands (16 Votes Out Of 28) [57.14] 6th Jay Z Ft Beyoncé - 03 Bonnie and Clyde (14 Votes Out Of 31) [45.16%] 7th Eminem - We Made You (10 Votes Out Of 31) [32.26%] 8th Ne-Yo - Because Of You (8 Votes Out Of 36) [22.22%] 9th Basshunter - All I Ever Wanted (8 Votes out of 32) [25.00%] 10th Sean Paul Ft Sasha - I'm Still In Love With You (11 Votes out of 39) [28.21%]
December 31, 20222 yr P.S. bear with as I put together the Ultimate Survivor now ^_^ will be up soon.
December 31, 20222 yr Mumba did release other songs but they either only charted in Ireland or not at all. Incredibly consistent with her UK hits though like you say.
December 31, 20222 yr Mumba did release other songs but they either only charted in Ireland or not at all. Incredibly consistent with her UK hits though like you say. Oh yeah I was referring to top 40 there. It's cool that she achieved peaks ranging from 2-6 only during those two years and then either miss top 40 with one song or not chart as you mentioned.
January 9, 20232 yr 1ST 18 VOTES OUT OF 35 [51.43%] EqkBRVukQmE In an EXTREMELY close battle and I say this because an hour ago Arctics very likely would've lost out but a couple more voters since swung in their favour to win this Survivor. The track was their 2nd consecutive #1 single as well, topping the chart in Jan 2006 and knocking Shayne Ward off after 4 weeks. The song is about prostitutes x and it's a great song as well. One of their better efforts for me so a deserving winner. 2ND 17 VOTES OUT OF 35 [48.57%] gnhXHvRoUd0 as alluded to in the paragraph about the Arctics we almost had KOL take the win but alas the tide did suddenly turn by the time I close the poll. From looking at this particular thread to see where 'Use Somebody' came last time it was in a Survivor (which was the 13's of the respective years which Scene posted in 2020).. it turns out they finished in... wait for it... 2nd as well :lol: and what's funny about this is that the song also peaked at number 2 officially in 2008. So they are in some ways like the modern day Sam Ryder when it comes to stalling here (#2 in official chart, Eurovision and a handful of peoples 2022 EOY's including mine x). Airplay did over kill it for some too but clearly not enough for them to finish 2nd in TWO different 2000's Survivors! 3rd Jakatta - American Dream (18 Votes Out Of 36) [50.00%] 4th Tinchy Stryder Ft Amelle - Never Leave You (15 Votes Out Of 35) [42.86%] 5th Blue - Guilty (19 Votes Out Of 36) [52.78%] 6th Leona Lewis - A Moment Like This (15 Votes Out Of 35) [42.86%] 7th Oxide and Neutrino - Bound 4 Da Reload (Casualty) (13 Votes Out Of 34) [38.24] 8th Ant and Dec - We're On The Ball (11 Votes Out Of 28) [39.29%] 9th Westlife Ft Diana Ross - When You Tell Me That You Love Me (11 Votes Out Of 28) [39.29%] 10th Sam and Mark - With A Little Help From My Friends (12 Votes Out Of 29) [41.38%]
January 22, 20232 yr 1st (22 Votes Out Of 34) [66.67%] JDKGWaCglRM Taking the win in the 5th installment of the Ultimate Survivor we see Pink with her first UK #1 'Just Like A Pill' rack up 22 votes of 34. Highly regarded as her best song and deservedly I think. 2nd (11 Votes Out Of 34) [33.33%] Lf0tUnUB27I Runner up sees Sugababes and 'Hole In The Head', a big banging pop tune from them which made it's way to #1 in October of 2003. I'd say this is a superb top 2 although I did expect to see it a bit closer than it ultimately was tbh but still very deserving! 3rd Mary Mary - Shackles (Praise You) (23 Votes Out Of 34) [67.65%] 4th The Killers - When You Were Young (11 Votes Out Of 30) [36.67%] 5th Oasis - Stop Crying Your Heart Out (10 Votes Out Of 29) [34.48%] 6th Madonna - Sorry (14 Votes Out Of 36) [38.89%] 7th Tomcraft - Loneliness (11 Votes Out Of 36) [30.56%] 8th Kesha - TikTok (9 Votes Out Of 36) [25.00%] 9th Shakira - Underneath Your Clothes (13 Votes Out Of 37) [35.14%] 10th Dido - Here With Me (12 Votes Out Of 39) [30.77%)
January 22, 20232 yr Correct winner out of the final 2 (Tomcraft was my favourite of the 10 and I'd probably also rank P!nk behind The Killers though).
January 23, 20232 yr Amazing top 2 and amazing winner. I had trouble splitting the two, so I’m happy either way.
February 1, 20232 yr 1st Kelly Rowland - Work (Freemasons Remix) [22 Votes Out Of 36] [61.11%] 10PvTykHCOI Kelly Rowland released 'Work' in January 2008 which peaked at 4 in the process. The remixed Freemasons version of an otherwise bland song was the perfect recipe to making the song a success. It managed to pick up 22 of 36 votes and was expected to landslide but the runner up wasn't too far behind pretty much all the way. It's Kelly's best song for me so a well deserved win here. 2nd Bon Jovi - It's My Life (14 Votes Out Of 36) [38.89%] vx2u5uUu3DE In an surprising turn of events Bon Jovi not only made the final but they also gave Kelly a good run for her money in this battle. It was obvious they wouldn't overthrow her to win though. 'It's My Life' reached number 3 back in June 2000 and became the bands 14th top 10 hit as well. This is a much better result for the rockers after their 90's classic ballad was sadly booted out quite early on in a survivor! 3rd Richard X Vs Liberty X - Being Nobody (18 Votes Out Of 33) [54.55%] 4th Christina Millian - When You Look At Me (16 Out Of 36 Votes) [44.44%] 5th Faith Hill - There You'll Be (16 Votes Out Of 41) [39.02%] 6th Britney Spears - Gimme More (13 Votes Out Of 34) [38.24%] 7th Razorlight - In The Morning (14 Votes Out Of 33) [42.42%] 8th N.E.R.D. - She Wants To Move (8 Votes Out Of 33) [24.24%] 9th McFly - I'll Be OK (12 Votes Out Of 29) [41.38%] 10th Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah (13 Votes Out Of 39) [33.33%]
February 14, 20232 yr 1st NU9JoFKlaZ0 (29 Votes Out Of 36) [80.56%] Green Day race ahead to win this Survivor. 'Wake Me Up When September Ends' was written about Billie-Joe's father and it's quite clear throughout the songs lyrics and how much depth and meaning it has overall. Peaking at #8 in June 2005 it became the bands 4th top 10 single despite being around for over an decade. 2nd zrFI2gJSuwA [7 Votes Out Of 36] [19.44%] Which leaves one hit wonder Madcon with their cover of the Frankie Valli classic 'Beggin'. Taking the song to number 5 in 2008 and selling over 600k. It clearly has a lot of fans here to take it to the final 2 here! 3rd Maroon 5 - Makes Me Wonder (17 Votes Out Of 34) [50.00%] 4th Ciara Ft Justin Timberlake - Love, Sex & Magic (15 Votes Out Of 36) [41.67%] 5th Ronan Keating - Lovin Each Day (18 Votes Out Of 36) [50.00%] 6th S Club - Say Goodbye / Love Ain't Gonna Wait For (13 Votes Out Of 33) [39.39%] 7th Beyoncé Ft Bun B & Slim Thug - Check On It (11 Votes Out Of 32) [34.38%] 8th Donell Jones - U Know What's Up? (10 Votes Out of 27) [37.04%] 9th Brian McFadden - Real To Me (16 Votes Out Of 34) [47.06] 10th Westlife - Unbreakable (12 Votes Out Of 36) [33.33%]
