26. Linkin Park - What I've Done 98 points

27. Calvin Harris - Acceptable In The 80's 95 points

28. Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby 95 points

29. The Fray - How To Save A Life 94 points

30. Justin Timberlake - What Goes Around... Comes Around 90 points

 

 

It's a shame to see The Fray unable to make top 20 at least. Such a powerful song from 2007. :heart: We also lose one of Calvin's earliest hits. We also lose a couple more indie/rock hits.

21-25





21. Foo Fighters - The Pretender 112 points
22. Fergie feat. Ludacris - Glamorous 109 points
23. Arctic Monkeys - Brianstorm 104 points
24. Timbaland Presents One Republic - Apologize 103 points
25. Hellogoodbye - Here (In Your Arms) 100 points


Amazing result for Hellogoodbye! :o Bagging 100 points and finishing top 25 ahead of a lot of more remembered songs. We also lose some big hits from Timbaland/OneRepublic and Fergie here. A couple more indie/rock hits fall out too. I always thought 'The Pretender' was more early/mid 00's than 2007 oops. :lol:

 

20. JoJo - Too Little Too Late 118 points

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

19. Mika - Grace Kelly 125 points

 

 

 

 

Kicking off the top 20 is JoJo and my personal favourite from her - 'Too Little Too Late'. It finishes three place higher than her debut single in the 2004 results. This track would've been a worthy qualifier in my opinion. Mika is next up with his breakthrough single 'Grace Kelly'. I'm actually shocked it is this popular on here. :o

 

 

18. Gwen Stefani feat. Akon - The Sweet Escape 125 points

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

17. Mason vs. Princess - Perfect (Exceeder) 128 points

 

 

 

 

We lose Gwen Stefani's final entry of the decade here - #18 is far too high for this effort from her in my opinion but it was a massive hit... her highest-peaking solo hit in fact! I'm shocked 'Perfect (Exceeder)' has managed to finish this high!

 

16. Kate Nash - Foundations 128 points









15. Timbaland feat. Keri Hilson & DOE - The Way I Are143 points





At #16 we lose Kate Nash's one and only hit. It definitely fit the music landscape of 2007 but feels very dated now. I never really choose to listen to it lol. At #15 is a song I've never liked and am astonished it has managed top 15. :o Thank God it isn't top 10! :kink:

 

14. Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend 144 points

 

 

 

 

I sensed Avril would do well in this heat. :D Avril has two entries in this heat and it is the biggest hit of the two - 'Girlfriend' - which ranks lowest! :o To be honest her follow-up is the superior song. :kink: Will Avril be able to get a second qualifier into the final rate?

 

13. Fergie - Big Girls Don't Cry 146 points

 

 

 

 

Shocked! :o :o I thought this would be a shoe-in for the top 10! This was definitely Fergie's best chance of getting a solo qualifier but it was clearly not to be. :(

 

12. Mark Ronson feat. Amy Winehouse - Valerie 149 points

 

 

 

 

This has done amazingly - as I expected - but I was really hoping and predicting it to be top 10. :drama: :( So close!

 

11. Take That - Rule The World 152 points

 

 

 

 

It is Take That who finish at the dreaded position for this heat! It is a lot better than their #23 position for 'Patience' and their even lower position for 'Shine' but sadly it doesn't finish in one of the qualifying spots. The track is actually tied with tenth place on points but rules are rules. :P Take That still have a chance tomorrow with 'Greatest Day'.

 

 

In alphabetical order, the top 10 songs from 2000 making it through to the final rate are:

 

 

Amy Winehouse - Rehab

 

Avril Lavigne - When You're Gone

 

Britney Spears - Gimme More

 

Freemasons feat. Bailey Tzuke - Uninvited

 

Girls Aloud - Call The Shots

 

Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love

 

Nelly Furtado - Say It Right

 

Rihanna feat. Jay-Z - Umbrella

 

Robyn with Kleerup - With Every Heartbeat

 

Sugababes - About You Now

 

 

This is my first time seeing these results! :o Sugababes now have FIVE qualifiers, Britney gets her fourth one, Girls Aloud bag their third one, Avril and Nelly Furtado get their second ones and the rest get their first! Fantastic to see 'Bleeding Love', 'Umbrella', 'Rehab' and 'Uninvited' qualify. :wub: This qualifiers list is VERY strong. I think this may be the first all-female qualifiers list also (in terms of lead artist)?

 

Join yours truly tomorrow as I countdown the 2008 results. :cheer: They will commence at 7pm! In the meantime feel free to share your opinions on these results.

Thanks Scene for doing this.

 

I was so happy Freemasons qualified :wub:

You're welcome. I'm over the moon Freemasons made it in. Such a fantastic dance cover.

I can reveal that once again the #11 of today's heat is just ONE point from making the top 10. :drama: Find out later. :kink:

67. Scouting For Girls – Heartbeat 9 points

68. Taio Cruz – Come On Girl 9 points

69. Chris Brown – With You 6 points

 

 

First off it's a shock that nobody was here for the Sugababes' 'Girls' which is part of the zero points club - especially since five of their singles have qualified! In the bottom section of the songs that actually did receive points, Chris Brown's 'With You' is bottom of the pile. I honestly think it would rank a lot higher if he didn't turn out to be so despicable - the same can be said for 'Forever' which lands at #52. We last saw Take That yesterday being one spot away from the top 10; today they crash out at a very low #64. Ne-Yo continues to finish low in these heat results but he still has his big hit 'Closer' to come. Elsewhere, we lose the amazing 'Beggin'' far too soon. Basshunter loses his first of two entries today - as do Madonna and Girls Aloud (the latter I'm very shocked to see so soon).

Omg so many songs are way too low!!!

 

PCD, Jennifer Hudson, Madonna, Chris Brown, T.I!!!

 

41-50

 

 

 

 

41. Rihanna – Take A Bow 66 points

42. Flo Rida feat. T-Pain – Low 62 points

43. Kanye West – Love Lockdown 59 points

44. The Ting Tings – Shut Up And Let Me Go 59 points

45. Wiley – Wearing My Rolex 58 points

46. Nickelback – Rockstar 58 points

47. Ne-Yo – Closer 56 points

48. Madonna feat. Justin Timberlake – 4 Minutes 48 points

49. Mint Royale – Singin’ In The Rain 46 points

50. Alexandra Burke – Hallelujah 45 points

 

 

Kicking off the top 50 is the biggest-selling song of 2008 - 'Hallelujah'. Perhaps Alexandra will have more luck in tomorrow's heat? We also lose Madonna's final entry of today - that is quite a poor result for her after the success she experienced in the 2005 and 2006 heats. Ne-Yo loses his final entry of the year while Rihanna loses her second of FOUR songs featured today. We also lose some big hits from 2008 - 'Low' and 'Rockstar'.

Definitely didn't expect Uninvited to qualify for 2007! Wonderful to see though.

Madonna and Ne-Yo not finishing top 40 is shocking!!!

 

 

Scouting For Girls :puke: both should have 0 points. Unnecessary band and so incredibly bland!
