January 20, 20223 yr I don't think I've seen a song I voted for yet. Some great number 4s have fallen though (some total noise scored points too!!).....the following I have a real soft spot for: Cliff Richard - Carrie, Sean Paul - Get Busy Zoe - Sunshine On A Rainy Day Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna Go My Way Athlete - Wires McFly featuring Taio Cruz - Shine A Light Breathe - Hands To Heaven And these three were very close to scoring votes from me: Electric Light Orchestra - Hold On Tight Eternal - Stay Five Star - The Slightest Touch I was also the one to give the Jacksons - I'll be there points, so glad to see I wasn't actually the only one!

January 20, 20223 yr So many people (including me) sad to see Wires go out early, but evidently virtually none of us were bothered enough to vote for it! With the Oasis and Jimmy Ruffin songs dropping out now, I've lost at least half of the songs that I could have lost at this early stage. Unique taste...?
January 21, 20223 yr Author 17 points Big Fun - Blame It On The Boogie The Bee Gees - For Whom The Bell Tolls Coldplay & Rihanna - Princess Of China Diddy-Dirty Money featuring Skylar Grey – Coming Home The Glitter Band - Angel Face Olly Murs featuring Demi Lovato - Up The Orb - Toxygene Pitbull - I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho) Stereophonics - Pick A Part That's New Nj0oziPZDTk This was meant to be a remix of Oxygene Part 8 but it was rejected by Jean-Michel Jarre as there was hardly any trace of the original recording. Instead, The Orb released it as a single themselves and it gave them their highest chart placing. Gary Glitter's backing band had six top 10 hits of their own and Angel Face was the first of them in 1974. Edited January 21, 20223 yr by King Rollo
January 21, 20223 yr Author 18 points Atomic Kitten - Love Doesn't Have To Hurt A Great Big World featuring Christina Aguilera – Say Something The Bay City Rollers - I Only Wanna Be With You Kate Bush - King Of The Mountain Kula Shaker - Tattva Shawn Mendes – There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back Roachford - Cuddly Toy Steps – Say You'll Be Mine / Better the Devil You Know S Club 8 - Sundown Sugababes - Red Dress Texas / Texas featuring The Wu-Tang Clan – Insane / Say What You Want (All Day Every Day) Robbie Williams - Supreme F8xk_AkeP5c From 2005, this was Kate Bush's first single release for 12 years and her first solo top 10 hit since Running Up That Hill in 1985. The Bay City Rollers cover of I Only Want To Be With You is here, the original version also got to number 4 and is still to come. Elsewhere, there is an abundance of 2000s pop acts. Edited January 21, 20223 yr by King Rollo
January 21, 20223 yr 'Up' is the first one from my votes dropping out, gave 4 points to it. I Like the Shawn, Sugababes and Texas tracks from that last bunch and plenty more good'uns that I didn't comment on yesterday too.
January 21, 20223 yr Author 19 points Elton John - Song For Guy Kelis - Caught Out There Lighthouse Family - Lifted Rod Stewart - Angel / What Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made A Loser Out Of Me) Gwen Stefani featuring Eve - Rich Girl Sunblock - I'll Be Ready Simon Webbe - No Worries yJ_H28GoaCs From 1978, this is the first of three Elton John number 4s to receive votes. Mainly an instrumental, Elton had written it the day before his record company's 17 year old messenger boy, Guy Burchett, was killed in a motorcycle accident. The Lighthouse Family's 'Lifted' also appears, they have another song to come.
January 21, 20223 yr I gave a high score to No Worries by Simon Webbe which is a real forgotten gem. Other highlights in 17-19: Lifted Say Something King of the Mountain There’s Nothing Holding me Back Supreme Princess of China Up Edited January 21, 20223 yr by JulianT
January 21, 20223 yr 'Lifted' another one of my votes out :( 'Caught Out There' and 'No Worries' are fab too. In fact I'd say NW is the best solo single from any of Blue. The album was solid too.
January 21, 20223 yr Author 20 points AC/DC - Highway To Hell Backstreet Boys - Shape Of My Heart Dire Straits - Money For Nothing Jason Derulo - It Girl Fox - S-S-S-Single Bed Peter Gabriel - Games Without Frontiers Shakira - She Wolf U2 - Stay (Faraway, So Close!) scdZEL1xySc From 1980, inspired by the Pan-European TV show, this features vocals from Kate Bush who appeared earlier today. We also have the quirky S-S-S-Single Bed by Fox from 1976 and Dire Straits excellent Money For Nothing from 1985. Highway To Hell only got to number 56 when first released in 1979. Its number 4 peak came in 2013. U2 have five number 4 singles, four of which received votes and Stay is the first of those to appear.
January 21, 20223 yr U2 actually had six number 4s: the three from the 1980s which are still in, two from the mid-2000s, and Stay (which I didn't think had any other voters). I nearly gave some points to Highway To Hell.
January 21, 20223 yr Oh no I gave 'Dog Eat Dog' all of its points :nocheer: the quickfire chorus took a bit of getting used to when I was first delving into Adam's discography but it's a firm favourite now!
January 22, 20223 yr Author 21 points Basement Jaxx - Rendez-Vu Blue - All Rise Cher - Gypsys, Tramps And Thieves Jamiroquai - Canned Heat Mika - We Are Golden Alexander O'Neal - Criticize TQ - Westside 7gK5iPbd7Hg From 1987, this was Alexander O'Neal's highest charting single. That's also the case for Rendez-Vu by Basement Jaxx. Just two points ahead of Simon Webbe are his group, Blue, with All Rise.
January 22, 20223 yr Author 22 points Clean Bandit - Stronger Donovan - Catch The Wind Eminem - We Made You Girls Aloud - Wake Me Up Loud Luxury featuring Brando - Body Modern Talking - Brother Louie Madness - Embarrassment The Raconteurs - Steady As She Goes Stan Ridgway - Camouflage Kelly Rowland featuring Eve - Like This P23Gqn6y8AI This song was written about one of the band member's sisters who had been shunned by the rest of her family for becoming pregnant with a black man's child. Like Robbie Williams, Eminem has seven number 4 singles. Four of them received votes but none of them have done very well and We Made You is the highest placed. Edited January 22, 20223 yr by King Rollo
January 22, 20223 yr Author 23 points Jonas Blue featuring William Singe - Mama Earth Wind And Fire with The Emotions - Boogie Wonderland Dr Kucho! & Gregor Salto featuring Ane Brun – Can't Stop Playing (Makes Me High) The Streets - Fit But You Know It Ed Sheeran featuring Chance the Rapper & PnB Rock – Cross Me god7hAPv8f0 This was one of four top 5 singles for Earth Wind And Fire. On the list, the only song in between their two number 4s is Girls Talk by Dave Edmunds. The Emotions still have their own song to come. Edited January 22, 20223 yr by King Rollo
January 22, 20223 yr Author 24 points All Saints - I Know Where It's At Abba - Does Your Mother Know Mariah Carey - My All Johnny Cash - A Boy Named Sue DNCE - Cake By The Ocean Galantis - No Money Ocean Colour Scene – Hundred Mile High City Martha Reeves and the Vandellas - Dancing In The Street Rocker's Revenge featuring Donnie Calvin - Walking On Sunshine Robbie Williams - Come Undone 68Uv959QuCg In retrospect, it's a surprise that this only got to number 28 when it was first released in 1964. Its number 4 peak came in 1969. Mariah Carey has five number 4 singles. Four of those received votes with My All the first to drop out. Does Your Mother Know is the only Abba song to peak at number 4.
January 22, 20223 yr Walking On Sunshine paid dust :/ sure it's not as well known as its late 80s namesake, but its production was years ahead of its time.
January 22, 20223 yr Some strong departures in the 24 point group! Bit surprised ABBA and All Saints didn't get a bit higher. Always pleased to see OCS in a rate but this is far from one of their best songs imo
