November 8, 20204 yr I'm not here for the Anne-Marie hate (unless it's for her latest era). '2002' isn't quite up there with 'Alarm' and 'Ciao Adios' but I do still enjoy it a lot. 'Make You Feel My Love' is obviously just stunning and deservedly high up on this list :wub:
November 8, 20204 yr That is a decent cover but Adele has much better songs on her debut Lots of great songs recently and then 2002, can't think of a worst song :D
November 8, 20204 yr Disappointed but not surprised at 2002 and Starships being here! Starships should be Nickis highest track here though hopefully! Make You Feel My Love definitely made Adele. 21s release was timed so well because her getting such a big X Factor boost in 2010 back when X Factor really dominated the charts. Perfect timing. Only Girl is one of Rihanna’s very best too! A brilliant song. I remember the week one chart battle too i imagine it was a similar event on this site to Kylie v Little Mix this week.
November 9, 20204 yr I didn't realize the original 'Make You Feel My Love' was from as recently as 1997, with it being a Bob Dylan classic I just assumed it was much older than that :o
November 9, 20204 yr 44. DANCE MONKEY- Tones & I (1,122,000) PEAK POSITION: 1 YEAR: 2019 An Australian No 1 for 24 weeks!!!! It also broke records in the UK when it topped the charts for 11 weeks (more than any other record ever by a female solo act) and dropped from 1-10 as it hit ACR (though its reign would have ended regardless). That made it the 8th biggest record in the UK last year, not bad for a song about busking, as she explained it “"I wrote this song when I was busking, and about the pressure that I felt to always be entertaining people on the street. And if they didn't like it, when they looked at their phones they could just click something else; ... we are all so used to being entertained at the click of a button." "So when you're busking on the street, .. to command your attention, people would be like: 'again! again!' .. 'more! more!' .. or they would just leave. So if you replace the lyric: 'dance for me, dance for me' with 'sing for me, sing for me,' it's pretty literal," q0hyYWKXF0Q 4iQxG8ZjYO8 How do you know how Much a Song has sold.. which website did you find this information from

November 9, 20204 yr Author 20. ALL ABOUT THAT BASS- Meghan Trainor (1,508,000) PEAK POSITION: 1 YEAR: 2014 Unsigned at the time of writing this track, Trainor was busy writing songs intended for other acts but this one ended up being kept for her debut solo single. It’s theme of self empowerment, “I didn't work this hard to hate on skinny people, I wrote the song to help my body confidence—and to help others", obviously struck a cord at it flew 33-1 on digital release and caused a cover version to slide 13-131 (remember when those held back big hits generated dodgy covers that people bought because they just COULDN'T wait?). Anyway it spent a month on top on the way to over 1.5 million sales. 7PCkvCPvDXk c-cRRs8uYgc
November 9, 20204 yr Author 19. FIREWORK- Katy Perry (1,517,000) PEAK POSITION: 3 YEAR: 2010 Launched with an “X Factor” appearance (when that meant something) this charged straight into the top 5 and eventually became the third top 3 for her during a rather purple patch. Its inspirational lyrics came with a promo filmed in Budapest. It was inspired by the book “On The Road” by Jack Kerouac which Perry had read “writing a song like this made me realise that anyone could be a firework, it’s just about you igniting the spark within yourself. I’m really proud of the song and it would be my favourite song on the album” Katy commented. QGJuMBdaqIw c630dt4u-Bg
November 9, 20204 yr I’m thinking Price Tag would have been around here had it been eligible. Do you have a rough figure for it Gezza？
November 9, 20204 yr 'Firework' still sounds great but 'All About That Bass' already sounds very much of its time. I actually preferred 'Dear Future Husband'.
November 9, 20204 yr I actually preferred 'Dear Future Husband'. Someone has to :basil: I still like 'All About That Bass' (as a bit of a guilty pleasure), 'Lips Are Movin' was better though.
November 9, 20204 yr Someone has to :basil: Sing along with me, sing, sing along with me. You know you want to.
