December 4, 20213 yr Author Pfff I actually don't mind the Robbie/Nicole version of 'Somethin' Stupid' but really @ it beating 'I Feel Fine'? I have to conclude the people voting in this just do not know any music from before the 80s xx Guessing these are the last two rounds then and they're just ignoring Rolf and the last 2 LadBaby songs? We have also yet to have a chance to vote on The Scaffold, Jackie Wilson, The Pet Shop Boys and Shayne Ward, so I think there will still be two more votes for 4th December, with or without Rolf.
December 4, 20213 yr We have also yet to have a chance to vote on The Scaffold, Jackie Wilson, The Pet Shop Boys and Shayne Ward, so I think there will still be two more votes for 4th December, with or without Rolf. Oh yeah, I think I somehow misread 1967 as 1968 oops! The actual last two rounds are up now and indeed they are those 4 songs plus the other two LadBaby ones.

December 5, 20213 yr Vote 17 - 1968 - The Scaffold - Lily The Pink 1986 - Jackie Wilson - Reet Petite 2019 - LadBaby - I Love Sausage Rolls Vote 18 - 1987 - Pet Shop Boys - Always On My Mind 2005 - Shayne Ward - That's My Goal 2020 - LadBaby - Don't Stop Me Eatin' I think 'Another Brick In The Wall' is my favourite Christmas #1 but 'Always On My Mind' is definitely up there as well (and 'Don't You Want Me')
December 5, 20213 yr Author Round 2 has now begun Vote A - 1989 - Band Aid II - Do They Know It's Christmas 2009 - Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name Vote B - 1981 - Human League - Don't You Want Me 2016 - Clean Bandit - Rockabye Vote A is a clash of the titans, with Rage being the contender who got the highest amoung of straight votes in round 1, and Band Aid II getting the third highest perecentage, but I'd guess the number of straight votes is a better measure of success and that Rage will probably win this one. In Vote B Human League gained both more votes and a higher perecentage of the vote in their voting than Clean Bandit did in theirs, so on the stats they should win, but they weren't massively ahead of Clean Bandit by either measure, so it could be close and it's possible that there could be a surprise here.

December 5, 20213 yr Author So for Round 2 it looks like they may have advanced just the winner of each of the 18 round 1 votes, in which case the contenders still in the competition are as listed below. The 80s come out as the most represented decade at this stage with 6 songs still in the competition, although the 00s are close behind with 5 still remaining. We've already said goodbye altogether to the 50s, the 60s and the 20s, whilst the 10s cling on for dear life with just the one representative, Clean Bandit. The oldest contender still in the competition is Mud from 1974 and the newest one is the aforementioned Clean Bandit from 2016. Slade had the highest number of straight votes for an eliminated contender, whilst Cliff Richard's Mistletoe and Wine had the higest percentage of their vote of any eliminated contender. I can see no pattern in how they are pairing the contenders in Round 2, so I assume they had a random draw or something. Contenders for Round 2 In order of which round 1 vote they won 1. Leona Lewis 2. Band Aid II 3. Alexandra Burke 4. Rage Against The Machine 5. Mud 6. Queen 7. Michael Jackson 8. Spice Girls (2B1) 9. Spice Girls 10. Spice Girls (G) 11. Clean Bandit 12. Human League 13. Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman 14. Girls Aloud 15. Band Aid 16. Shakin’ Stevens 17. Jackie Wilson 18. Pet Shop Boys In age order 1974 Mud 1975/1991 Queen 1981 Human League 1984 Band Aid 1985 Shakin’ Stevens 1986 Jackie Wilson 1987 Pet Shop Boys 1989 Band Aid II 1995 Michael Jackson 1996 Spice Girls 1997 Spice Girls 1998 Spice Girls 2002 Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman 2003 Girls Aloud 2006 Leona Lewis 2008 Alexandra Burke 2009 Rage Against The Machine 2016 Clean Bandit Edited December 5, 20213 yr by DanChartFan
December 5, 20213 yr Goodbye, Too Much, 2 Become 1, and tge honourary Xmas no 1s Out Of Your Mind and Hollier?? How exactly were Out Of Your Mind and Holler 'honourary Xmas #1s' :lol:
December 5, 20213 yr Author How exactly were Out Of Your Mind and Holler 'honourary Xmas #1s' :lol: I just looked, out of interest, and in Xmas week 2000 Holler was dropping three places to #46, whilst Out Of Your Mind was re-entering at #79. Maybe Holler would have sold more in xmas week if it had been 'Hollier' as Dong's slip of the keyboard rebranded it.
