"Adele Eater" :lol: now there's an image I've got in my head that I'm not sure I wanted!

It won't be cold for long if they roll it in the deep (fat fryer).

I think Julian's suggestion of 50pts down to 1pt is a good one. Each voter is still giving a score to every song in the final and each vote will have the same weight as the others. So if the majority are OK with that, I'll use that format for the number 4 singles next year.

 

I don't see much wrong with Adelita's vote or anyone else's. He gave 23 songs a score of 6 or more.

25. Aztec Camera - Somewhere In My Heart

 

Average score - 6.811

 

Writer - Roddy Frame

Top scores : 11 - Achabaan, 10 - Jester, Mango

Low scores : 1 - jszmiles, 2 - vibe, 3 - Alex!, detonate

 

It's a pleasant surprise to see this song finish in the top 25. It was the only top 10 single for the Scottish group who split up in 1995. I would recommend their 1983 singles Oblivious and Walk Out To Winter if you don't already know them.

 

wow didn't expect Aztec Camera to get so high in this *.* used to hear that loads when I was younger, great tune

 

(Oblivious is every bit as good too!)

 

Somewhere In My Heart finishing top half is great to see, such a good song!

24. Darude - Sandstorm

 

Average score - 6.83

 

Writer - Ville Virtanen

Top scores : 11 - JackJones, danG, coi, 10 - Chez Wombat, Nick F1, Chapman, Tawdry Hepburn, Mack, Bré

Low scores : 0 - Shoat, 1 - DarrenJ77, rio309, Achabaan, Adelita

 

This was the first of three top 20 hits for the Finnish producer. It's still played at many sports grounds including Tottenham Hotspur's stadium every time they score a goal.

 

Top half for Sandstorm as well! It was very difficult deciding which song to give my 11 to but went for that in the end, a true dance classic! :heart:
I'm very glad I did decide to quickly look up the Aztec Camera song rather than just hitting it with a 5/10 for not recognising the title :lol: great song, quite surprising it's finished ahead of certain other songs that you'd expect to be heavier hitters though! Great to see 'Sandstorm' in the top half as well *.*
What a pleasant surprise to see 'Somewhere In My Heart' finish in the Top 25 *.* that's one of the defining songs of the 80s for me, such a tune.

Surprised One & One Only got to #29....

 

now fingers crossed for Missing to score top 10

From 1984, this was one of four top 10 singles for Bronski Beat with three of them peaking at number 3. A remix returned the song to the top 40 in 1991.
