January 20, 20223 yr Is that Male Stripper song anything to do with the recent Purple Disco Machine song of the same name? I've lost at least 4 already, but given what they were (e.g. Proper Chrimbo) I'm not overly surprised!
January 20, 20223 yr Athlete-Wires is the biggest lost so far, lost classic :/ also surprised at how low Lenny Kravitz-Are you Gonna go my Way ended.
January 20, 20223 yr I've literally never heard of that 'Male Stripper' song - my musical knowledge from the mid-80s onwards is pretty good so it's quite rare these days that I come across a top 10 hit that I've literally never heard of! It's obviously not a song that ever gets talked about or played on the radio.
January 20, 20223 yr It was indeed sampled in the Purple Disco Machine song though (which IIRC was playlisted by Radio 1)! I didn't vote in this first round as per (will vote in the later rounds), I think 'Wires' is probably my favourite song that's dropped out so far as well.

January 20, 20223 yr Author 13 points East 17 - Thunder Lolly - Mickey Jimmy Nail - Crocodile Shoes Steps - Here And Now / You'll Be Sorry The Vamps featuring Demi Lovato - Somebody To You oejZKuaukig Written for the TV series in which he starred, this was the last of three top 5 hits for Jimmy Nail. Lolly's cover version of Mickey was one of two number 4s for her in 1999. Steps have two more songs to come.

January 20, 20223 yr Author 14 points Breathe - Hands To Heaven Bloc Party - The Prayer Alexandra Burke featuring Pitbull - All Night Long DJ Sakin & Friends – Protect Your Mind (For The Love Of A Princess) Jennifer Lopez - I'm Real Oasis - Who Feels Love? Prince and The New Power Generation – Gett Off Jimmy Ruffin - What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted Will Smith - Switch Usher - Climax cQywZYoGB1g This Motown classic reached number 8 when first released in 1966. It was a re-issue that got to number 4 in 1974. Jennifer Lopez, Oasis, Prince and Usher all have further songs to come.
January 20, 20223 yr 'What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted' - one of the best soul/motown songs for me, not that I voted for it mind but a classic and some other good bangers from Alexandra and Lolly there as well. 'Somebody to You' also one of The Vamps best but there was no way it'd get into the next round! Edited January 20, 20223 yr by Roba.
January 20, 20223 yr Author Mickey was her only #4 wasn't it? The other two made #7 and #10. Yes, my eyesight failed me there. The 6 in my Guinness Book Of Hit Singles for Viva La Radio looked like a 4. Anyway, it seems as they are wrong as the OCC says it got to number 7.
January 20, 20223 yr Author 15 points Adam and the Ants - Dog Eat Dog Neil Diamond - I Am...I Said Dave - Verdansk Kylie Minogue - 2 Hearts Ricky Martin with Christina Aguilera – Nobody Wants to Be Lonely The Style Council - Speak Like A Child Smoke City - Underwater Love e0BxHKlnhqY From 1980, this was Adam and the Ants' second hit single. All four of Kylie Minogue's number 4 singles received votes and 2 Hearts is the first to appear. Edited January 20, 20223 yr by King Rollo
January 20, 20223 yr Viva La Radio was one of the songs that entered in the infamous week where they failed to get sales from Virgin stores in time for the chart, so she'd have been announced at #6 on the radio but years later they retrospectively changed it to #7.
January 20, 20223 yr Author 16 points Amerie - 1 Thing Glen Campbell - Rhinestone Cowboy Electric Light Orchestra - Hold On Tight Eternal - Stay Eternal - Angel Of Mine Five Star - The Slightest Touch Sigma featuring Ella Henderson - Glitterball Tiffany - Could've Been The Verve - Love Is Noise UB40 - Kingston Town Robbie Williams - Strong UkekqVPIc2M From 1981, this was the last of ELO's fifteen top 10 hits. Two people decided to give 16 points to an Eternal song but not the same one. Robbie Williams has seven singles that peaked at number 4. Rudebox is the only one not to get a vote. Strong is the first of the other six to appear.
January 20, 20223 yr Author I've just noticed that someone else voted for I'll Be There but they put Michael Jackson down as the artist so I had it in two different places. It now has more than 15 points so gets a temporary reprieve.

Ah, that explains it, thanks.
January 20, 20223 yr Robbie Williams has seven singles that peaked at number 4. Rudebox is the only one not to get a vote. Strong is the first of the other six to appear. I must be one of the few people in the world that thinks 'Rudebox' is an absolute banger!
January 20, 20223 yr I’m responsible for handing Strong 9 of its votes lol. Let’s hope No Regrets finishes much higher - I didn’t give Angels, Supreme, Feel or Come Undone anything I’m afraid. Does Robbie have more #4 singles than anyone else with 7 or is that someone like Elvis or Cliff?
January 20, 20223 yr Author I'm not sure who has the most. Just using ctrlF on the list now, I see Elvis has just two and Cliff Richard six.
