This was not a hit until it was remixed with a sample of Human Nature by Michael Jackson added on. It was one of nine top 40 hits for SWV from 1993 to 1997. They reformed in 2005. SWV stands for sisters with voices.

36. Soft Cell - Say Hello Wave Goodbye 209 pts

 

Writers - Marc Almond, David Ball

Top points - Borza 25, Achabaan 24, King Rollo 22

 

This is Soft Cell's finest song, in my opinion, much better than Tainted Love which did so well in the ultimate UK number 1 single final. I would recommend the 12 inch version which starts with a wonderful three and a half minute oboe solo, or is it a clarinet? I'm not sure. A remixed version reached number 38 in 1991.

35. Michael Jackson - Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough 209 pts

 

Writer - Michael Jackson

Top points - Chapman 24, garyfeld 23, Scene 22

 

Michael Jackson has already been mentioned twice today and here he is again. This was his first single as a singer/songwriter. It wins a tie-break over Say Hello Wave Goodbye by 24 votes to 14.

 

Say Hello Wave Goodbye is only the second song out that I gave points to in this semi and the first that was one of my original nominations. I prefer it to Tainted Love as well.
MJ is the first big loss here for me, one of the few songs in this round that I really love. Boo.
BBE, Fragma and Kim - all were my top 10. too early to gone
Starting to lose some of the ones I really like now, Soft Cell following on from BBE

34. The Weeknd - The Hills 215 pts

 

Writers - Abel Tesfaye, Emmanuel Nickerson, Carlo Montagnese, Ahmad Balshe

Top points - coi 25, JulianT 24, Dot Branning 21, Bré 21

 

This is the highest placed of the three wild cards. The single spent 20 weeks on the chart before it reached its number 3 peak position.

 

Deserved better but I guess that is an ok position for a song that only one person voted for in the first round.

33. ABBA - Voulez-Vous/Angeleyes 218 pts

 

Writers - Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus

Top points - Scene 21, JulianT 20, AH Gold 18, Borza 18

 

Voulez-Vous was certainly the dominant A side here and I'm sure the song that you were voting for. Recorded in Miami, it's the only Abba song recorded outside of Sweden. It was the group's eleventh consecutive top 5 hit.

 

Another 2 of my faves gone! And nope I was mainly voting for Angeleyes. :) I read somewhere that at the time Angeleyes proved to be the preferred track and it was in fact thanks to that that the single made the Top 3.
