July 1, 20205 yr Author 31-40 nAeLZs1JSR8 31. Kylie Minogue – Wow 85 points 32. Basshunter – Now You’re Gone 84 points 33. Alesha Dixon – The Boy Does Nothing 84 points 34. Utah Saints – Something Good ’08 83 points 35. Sara Bareilles – Love Song 72 points 36. OneRepublic – Stop And Stare 69 points 37. H ‘Two’ O feat. Platnum – What’s It Gonna Be 69 points 38. The Script – The Man Who Can’t Be Moved 69 points 39. Dizzee Rascal feat. Calvin Harris & Chrome – Dance Wiv Me 69 points 40. Leona Lewis – Better In Time 67 points Here we have another female X Factor winner kicking off this section. Leona's 'Better In Time' fails to repeat the success of 'Bleeding Love' which qualified in yesterday's heat. This isn't the last we will see of her today as 'Run' is still to come. Elsewhere, we lose Alesha's first proper solo hit at a respectable #33 but I would have liked it to finish a bit higher. Basshunter loses his final entry here and Kylie performs better today than she did yesterday with '2 Hearts'. I would have expected slightly better from 'Wow' though.
July 1, 20205 yr Far too many classics falling as expected but 'Wow' & 'Love Song' should be much much higher. :(
July 1, 20205 yr Author 26-30 smHe6-6LdII 26. The Saturdays – Up 112 points 27. Eric Prydz – Pjanoo 109 points 28. Katy Perry – I Kissed A Girl 94 points 29. The Ting Tings – That’s Not My Name 90 points 30. Coldplay – Violet Hill 89 points Here we lose the first of two Coldplay singles in this heat. The Ting Tings lose their final single while Katy Perry loses her #1 debut - this result and its early departure in the EOY Survivor really clarifies its lack of popularity on Buzzjack. :lol: The Saturdays lose their sole entry of 2008 at a decent #26 but I expected it to finish a lot higher judging by their popularity on BJ.
July 1, 20205 yr I even love 'Up' :lol: Pjanoo did well and I Kissed A Girl is really underrated here in BJ!!!
July 1, 20205 yr Author 21-25 qvuyYj5ROmk 21. Kings Of Leon – Sex On Fire 123 points 22. Duffy – Warwick Avenue 116 points 23. Gabriella Cilmi – Sweet About Me 113 points 24. Jordin Sparks feat. Chris Brown – No Air 112 points 25. Adele – Chasing Pavements 112 points The biggest artist of the last decade arrives at #25 with her breakthrough single. 'Chasing Pavements' finishes where I would have expected it to. It's a great little song and put Adele on the map but this was her warming up before striking gold with her second album. This section contains a few more UK breakthrough hits from Jordin, Gabriella and Kings Of Leon. Duffy's first of two appearances today is at #22. 'Mercy' is still to come!
July 1, 20205 yr Author The top 20 of 2008 in alphabetical order: Alphabeat – Fascination Beyoncé – If I Were A Boy Britney Spears – Piece Of Me Britney Spears – Womanizer Coldplay – Viva La Vida Duffy – Mercy Estelle feat. Kanye West – American Boy Girls Aloud – The Promise Guru Josh Project – Infinity 2008 Katy Perry – Hot N Cold Kelly Rowland – Work The Killers – Human Kings Of Leon – Use Somebody Leona Lewis – Run Pendulum – Propane Nightmares Pink – So What Rihanna – Disturbia Rihanna – Don’t Stop The Music Sam Sparro – Black And Gold September – Cry For You (You’ll Never See Me Again)
July 1, 20205 yr Omg that top 20 looks dope!!! I've voted for 13 out of those 20 songs so I am in for a good treat!!!
July 1, 20205 yr Author 20. Girls Aloud – The Promise 123 points xPrZ4yAdj8I 19. Estelle feat. Kanye West – American Boy 130 points Ic5vxw3eijY At #20 is 'The Promise'. :o I honestly thought this would become one of their qualifiers. It's generally held in as high regard as 'Sound...', 'Biology' and 'Call The Shots', no? I'm even more shocked 'American Boy' finishes higher than Girls Aloud considering how badly it did in the EOY Survivor. :lol: It has redeemed itself by finishing as high at #20!
July 1, 20205 yr Author 18. Kelly Rowland – Work 138 points 9uZczPvm4jk 17. September – Cry For You (You’ll Never See Me Again) 141 points deYCFCAK-RE At #18 is another of Kelly Rowland's singles that fails to make the cut. She still stands a chance of having one non-Destiny's Child qualifier to her name tomorrow. :kink: September makes a surprisingly high appearance at #17. :o
July 1, 20205 yr Never cared for that GA song so I am glad it didn't take a finalist spot!!! I love 'American Boy' but I am also aware of polarizing love/hate opinion in BJ!!!
July 1, 20205 yr oh no :drama: I love love both of those tracks!!! Good results for both of them though :clap:
July 1, 20205 yr Author 16. Duffy – Mercy 141 points y7ZEVA5dy-Y 15. Beyoncé – If I Were A Boy 143 points AWpsOqh8q0M Here we say goodbye to Duffy's second and final entry in this heat - and I assume the whole decade now. Sadly 'Rain On Your Parade' missed the EOY top 75 - it's by far my favourite song from her. At #15 we have Queen Bey - I'm surprised 'If I Were A Boy' failed to make the cut while 'Irreplaceable' was able to. We should be seeing more of her tomorrow. :kink:
July 1, 20205 yr Author 14. Pendulum – Propane Nightmares 146 points WPbeEtjo70g So I'm shocked this has managed to finish as high as #14. :o It definitely would have added some more variety to the qualifiers list so far if it bagged over a couple of dozen more points.
July 1, 20205 yr Author 13. Kings Of Leon – Use Somebody 148 points gnhXHvRoUd0 So this finishes 8 positions and 25 points higher than 'Sex On Fire'. I actually prefer 'Sex On Fire' out of the two but they are both cracking songs and a refreshing sound in the charts during a "souled out" 2008.
July 1, 20205 yr Author 12. The Killers – Human 160 points RIZdjT1472Y At #13 is The Killers with their second top 20 finisher of the decade (out of two eligible songs!) yet it is their second song to miss out on the top 10. I'm not a big fan of this one by them. I much prefer their 2004-06 singles.
July 1, 20205 yr Author 11. Rihanna – Don’t Stop The Music 166 points yd8jh9QYfEs At the unlucky #11 position is Rihanna's MJ-sampling 'Don't Stop The Music' which was a massive hit back in 2008. It is definitely one of her most loved earlier releases so I expected it to do well - it is a real shame it failed to qualify though and it was so close! Nevertheless, that doesn't mean we have a Rihanna-free top 10. :kink: In alphabetical order, the top 10 songs from 2008 making it through to the final rate are: Alphabeat – Fascination Britney Spears – Piece Of Me Britney Spears – Womanizer Coldplay – Viva La Vida Guru Josh Project – Infinity 2008 Katy Perry – Hot N Cold Leona Lewis – Run Pink – So What Rihanna – Disturbia Sam Sparro – Black And Gold Please join us tomorrow as Addy or me :kink: will be hosting the results for the final heat - 2009! :cheer: In the meantime I would love to know your opinions on the qualifying 10 songs.
July 1, 20205 yr Good to see Pink get through again-that’s 4 qualifiers which is pretty good. Shame Duffy and the Killers missed out. I actually thought Warwick Avenue would be higher than Mercy.
July 1, 20205 yr OMG at Propane Nightmares getting that high, I'd be sad they didn't qualify but I expected them out in like 36th *.*.* Yayy for Viva la Vida and Fascination. Boooo at The Killers not making it.
