February 12, 20214 yr Author 30. Example - Kickstarts 236 pts Writer - Elliot Gleave Top points - Jason 24, dutch22 24, coi 22 From 2010, this was Example's second top 10 single. He has sadly not had any top 40 hits since 2014. T9yGcKlYAiw
February 12, 20214 yr Example was great when he was first around, that and Watch The Sun Come Up are both still fab. I thought MJ would do a lot better than that, that's comfortably one of my favourites of his! I was doing unbelievably well in terms of how many I had left until the last two which were the highest ranked ones I've lost - still got 19 in.
February 12, 20214 yr Damn some of my favourites from the list gone in that last group, especially Trash by Suede.
February 13, 20214 yr Oh a few dropping out in a row that I voted for - 'The Hills', 'Voulez-Vous' and 'Sleeping With The Light On'! All amongst those respective artists' best ^_^
February 13, 20214 yr Author 29. Earth Wind & Fire - September 243 pts Writers - Maurice White, Al McKay, Allee Willis Top points - Chapman 25, Uls2000 23, Leonardo 22 It's a pleasant surprise to me how well this song has done here. It was the first of four top 5 singles for the group from 1978 to 1981. A remixed version got to number 25 in 1999. Gs069dndIYk
February 13, 20214 yr Author 28. Whitney Houston - I Have Nothing 250 pts Writers - David Foster, Linda Thompson Top points - AaronTM 25, vibe 24, Campbell 23 The third top 5 hit for Whitney from the soundtrack to The Bodyguard. The song lives on with various divas performing it on talent shows to demonstrate their vocal range. FxYw0XPEoKE
February 13, 20214 yr Author 27. Britney Spears - Gimme More 250 points Writers - Nate Hills, James Washington, Keri Hilson, Marcella Araica Top points - Nick F1 25, ready for it 23, Jason 22 The first single taken from Britney's fifth album, 'Blackout'. It wins a tie-break over I Have Nothing by 19 votes to 18. elueA2rofoo
February 13, 20214 yr Author 26. U2 - Pride (In The Name Of Love) 251 pts Writers - U2 Top points - Mark223 25, Shoat 23, dutch22 23, marcinjaro 23 Written about Martin Luther King Jr, this was U2's first top 5 single. Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders sang backing vocals. LHcP4MWABGY
February 13, 20214 yr Author And so these are your 25 finalists. The song in 25th place scored 252 points so the last three songs were very close to making it to the final. One more point for U2 would not have been enough as they would have lost out on a tie-break. In chronological order: You Can't Hurry Love Mad World Time After Time What's Love Got To Do With It Material Girl Running Up That Hill Alone Blue Monday 1988 Buffalo Stance Return To Innocence Whatever Virtual Insanity One & One Paranoid Android No Scrubs Hey Boy Hey Girl Castles In The Sky Who Do You Love Now? Move Your Feet Take Me Out American Idiot Doctor Pressure S&M Budapest Physical The second semi-final will start on Monday.
February 13, 20214 yr 'Gimme More' missing out :cheer: I think 16 of my 20 have got through (though unfortunately 2 of the ones that missed out were my +20 and +21), pretty good ~ 'September' was another one of the songs I cut out which would have got a couple of points from me if I'd done a top 25 but that wouldn't have got it through anyway.
February 13, 20214 yr A pity to lose U2 at the end, but that's still a great final 25 from an already strong semi! 19/25 got my votes this round and the other 6 wouldn't have been far behind.
February 13, 20214 yr Pretty much all of my big favourites made it so yay! Shame about Right Here and September, but at least they weren't that close.
