No 1 for 1 week in May 2017- Second favourite No 1 from 2017 on the rate and your second favourite Clean Bandit chart topper as well.

that's a very impressive finish for Promises. shame it has the dishonour of being one of the least deserving #1s of the decade from a sales and longevity standpoint but it is a very good song and still sounds amazing a decade on.

 

great but expected to see Ghost and Symphony in the top 40 as well. quite amazing how Clean Bandit managed to make a song as good as that then only a few years later release such duds as singles in Mama and Higher.

I will forever wish that Nero's #1 had been 'Guilt' instead (that would have been a 29 pointer for me in this if it was!) but 'Promises' is still great too. Likewise I massively prefer 'Glow' to 'Ghost' by Ella but still like 'Ghost' as well (sadly haven't really been that into anything from her beyond the first 2 singles). 'Symphony' is surprisingly low here but not complaining as it's very overrated, continuing to quickly clear out the last few songs that I am not a fan of!

'Promises' must be one of the most forgotten number ones of the decade.

 

'Ghost' still sounds great and remains Ella's best single for me.

 

'Symphony' is way too low, was definitely expecting it significantly higher.

Impressive finish for the brilliant Promises! I always felt it was a sadly forgotten hit but obviously not on here!

 

I don't really have a strong opinion on the other two, there's nothing bad to say about them but they're not personal favourites either.

Great to see Promises so high. I thought it would have finished somewhere between 100 and 51.

Getting through the good ones now, I'm glad Promises is well remembered here even if that's certainly not the case elsewhere! :lol: Ghost was easily the best ever debut X Factor single and I'm a fan of Symphony too, although I wish it and Rockabye could swap places here x

Impressed I've only lost three songs since the last stats update from Gezza, still got 9 of my top 11 to be revealed.

I don't get the love for Promises. I don't remember being a fan of it a decade ago and it sounds dated these days.

 

Ghost is one of the best XF-related singles ever. The magic of Ryan Tedder!

NO 26- 208 POINTS- Diamonds Rihanna (Voters: Alby- 5 points, Dot Branning- 25 points, Dircadirca- 1 point, Stonedragon- 11 points, Sid- 23 points, xajnipi- 17 points, Bjork- 28 points, Riser- 20 points, Gezza- 8 points, Vibe- 8 points, Nick F1- 9 points, Chrissmith276- 28 points, Ready For It- 25 points)

No 1 for 1 week in October 2012- Rihanna is now one of just three acts with two entries left as we near the top 20

NO 25- 219 POINTS- Call Me Maybe Carly Rae Jepsen (Voters: Sevenseize- 14 points, Josephstyles- 19 points, Ultra’s Version- 23 points, AH Gold- 26 points, Campbell- 28 points, Jason- 1 point, Bjork- 11 points, n4yr- 15 points, AaronTM- 14 points, Mango- 26 points, Garyfeld- 17 points, Gezza- 22 points, *Dandy- 3 points)

No 1 for 4 weeks in April/May 2012- An established Buzzjack favourite I’m surprised this missed the top 20 frankly!

NO 24- 223 POINTS - On The Floor Jennifer Lopez Featuring Pitbull (Voters: Josephstyles- 20 points, Jackjones- 18 points, Ultra’s Version- 16 points, Jade- 23 points, xajnipi- 14 points, n4yr- 10 points, Riser- 23 points, Danuary- 18 points, AaronTM- 20 points, Mango- 12 points, Vibe- 28 points, Brokenrecords- 16 points, Nick F1- 5 points)

No 1 for 2 weeks in April 2011- A bit of a return to form for Lopez after some years out of the top 10- thanks mainly to the “Lambada” naturally.

Three classics right there :wub: CMM deserves higher but I'm just happy it's top 30!

Shaping up for a fab Top 20! Please can “Hello” drop out tomorrow? That’s easily my least favourite of what’s left.

I'll do a recap tomorrow and look at what we have left in the top 20 plus the points league for you voters!

Diamonds will always be a step below the excellence of Only Girl and We Found Love.

 

On The Floor was great in terms of getting J Lo back on top but she's done much better. Unpopular opinion but Dance Again >>>>> On The Floor.

I'm another in the list of people here very surprised at how well Promises did but very pleased of course, great tune and a fairly unique number one! All the songs announced since that have been decent too.
