My first one out - adore I Wanna Feel! I never knew about the Bedingfield lyrics :o

'Burn' marked a point where I started losing interest in Ellie :( she's had some good moments since then but way less consistently.

 

'I Wanna Feel' is a good'un :music: didn't fit that into my votes but I have managed to include some of the 2014 dance invasion.

Meh to those last three. In fact I actually find 'I Wanna Feel' one of the lowlights of all the 2014 dance music.

 

Personally I think Ellie Goulding's earliest stuff was her best i.e. Starry Eyed, Lights... even by 2013 there's nothing that really stands out to me among her music.

NO 158- 29 POINTS

 

 

Vossi Pop Stormzy (Voters: Dircadirca- 27 points, Mack- 2 points)

 

No 1 for 2 weeks in May 2019- Finishing with a facial apparently- here’s Stormzy exiting the rate.

 

 

Fight Song Rachel Platten (Voters: Ultra’s Version- 24 points, King Rollo- 1 point, AaronTM- 4 points)

 

No 1 for 1 week in September 2015- Down and out for Platten.

 

 

It's My Birthday Will.i.am Featuring Cody Wise (Voter: Riser)

 

No 1 for 1 week in July 2014- Another Will.i.am song leaves the rate- he has 3 left- I can also reveal that this is the highest placed No 1 on the list to only get votes from 1 person- so your 30 pointers are safe….for a few days anyway.

 

Still not lost anything yet!

 

'Vossi Bop' is my favourite from that batch. Never been keen on 'Fight Song' (feels surreal to remember that was a #1) and most solo will.i.am stuff hasn't aged brilliantly.

Didn't enjoy any of those three really so I'm happy to see them leaving at this point.

That answers my question then, very interesting! I'm surprised that I wasn't the only voter for some of them, amazingly still got 29 of my 30 left (with the only loss being near the bottom of my vote as well)

So close to getting a clean sheet all up to top marks, didn't think Stormzy would be the one to break it :lol:

I actively dislike 'Fight Song', waste of a #1 imo.

 

Vossi Bop probably holds up the best out of those three but Stormzy has made better.

Still haven’t lost any votes yet either, god my tastes are so generique. :drama:

Yeah 'Fight Song' doesn't even sound like a number one when you listen to it now.

 

I do quite like 'It's My Birthday' but it sounds very of its time.

 

Not a fan of 'Vossi Bop' at all, I prefer most of Stormzy's other singles.

Cody Wise :cheeseblock:

So Don’t Go was the only song I saved from nul points - think I stand by that. Rudimental’s These Days is the other that I might have given a point had I known nobody else would.

 

Surprised no Drake at all has appeared to this point!

The lyrics “f*ck the Government AND f*ck Boris” from Vossi Bop dates is now as it was from the period that Johnson wasn’t part of the Government.

Gosh, 'It's My Birthday' was truly horrendous. :puke2:

I forgot that I gave that many points to It's My Birthday :lol: I'll stand by it though, still a fave of mine!

NO 155- 30 POINTS

 

 

Turn The Music Louder (Rumble) KDA Featuring Tinie Tempah & Katy B (Voters: Dircadirca- 20 points, coi- 4 points, Brokenrecords- 6 points)

 

No 1 for 1 week in October 2015- Another Tinie exit but incredibly he has another 3 entries left here.

 

 

Good Times Roll Deep (Voters: Jade- 24 points, Rabbitfurcoat- 6 points)

 

No 1 for 3 weeks in May 2010- Jade’s first loss and off course Roll Deep are now out of the running!

 

 

Beautiful Monster Ne-Yo (Voters: Dot Branning- 23 points, Riser- 7 points)

 

No 1 for 1 week in August 2010- Ne-Yo’s penultimate track leaves us here.

 

Finally one of my votes drops out and it's a big one :lol: no regrets, very of its time but it always puts me in a good mood :kink:

Ah that's a shame, I actually like all three of those. Roll Deep is the most of its time but like 'Replay' the nostalgia value is strong here.

 

Naturally since it actually got my votes 'Beautiful Monster' is my favourite of the three.

Three good songs in there!

 

And indeed the second of my votes heads out, but again it was fairly low down and the only two I've lost were my +4 and +3 :D Rumble was already a great dance tune even before Tinie Tempah and Katy B added their vocals to it, the finished product was even better and I'm still amazed to this day that it managed to beat One Direction to the top! One of the last big successes for held-back releases.

 

Good Times and Beautiful Monster are both quite forgotten now and understandably so considering their sound but still decent tunes as well!

All of my votes are still in, I'm very curious to find out who else gave my 12 pointer at least 19 more points as I was sure that would be out by now if not only getting points from me...!

 

The KDA and Roll Deep songs are good but both very of their time, I would not have called Jade giving 24 points to the latter *_*
