February 19, 20223 yr Gutted to see 'Here (In Your Arms)' out :( that was incredibly close to being my +25.
February 19, 20223 yr Think I've lost three of my votes so far (Hellogoodbye, Walk the Moon and Arctic Monkeys), all very good but not huge favourites, let's see how long this can keep up!
February 19, 20223 yr Author 33. Placebo - Nancy Boy 236pts Writers - Brian Molko, Stefan Olsdal, Robert Schultzberg Top points - rio309 25, Grandwicky 23, Achabaan 22 Placebo's fifth single and their second to reach the top 40. The group are still going and release their first album since 2013 next month. PBxuq_eWW94
February 19, 20223 yr Author 32. Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al 245pts Writer - Paul Simon Top points - Shoat 22, chartjack2 20, Leonardo 19 This was Boymetworld91's wild card but he didn't vote this time. It's still the highest placed wildcard but has his failure to vote cost the song its place in the final? It was Paul Simon's highest charting solo single, peaking one place higher than 'Mother And Child Reunion' from 14 years before. The title was inspired by the French composer and conductor Pierre Boulez mistakenly referring to him as Al at a party. uq-gYOrU8bA
February 19, 20223 yr Author 31. Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch 246pts Writer - Jimmy Pop Top points - Roba 23, JulianT 22, Chez Wombat 21, Brer 21 From 2000, this was one of just two top 40 singles for the American band. xat1GVnl8-k
February 19, 20223 yr Ah that’s really not a welcome set of results - love all 3 of those! The Bad Touch is fabulous and unique; You Can Call Me Al is a pop classic of the highest order and Nancy Boy is one of the best 90s Indie hits.
February 19, 20223 yr Author 30. The Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive 251pts Writers - Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, Maurice Gibb Top points - Leonardo 25, Uls2000 23, Dante77 21 From 1978, this was the second single released from the soundtrack to 'Saturday Night Fever'. It was the Bee Gees' eleventh top 10 single. fNFzfwLM72c
February 20, 20223 yr 'The Bad Touch' is a huge loss, what an absolute classic. It has some of the most humorous lyrics of any song ever. "Put your hands down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts" is probably my favourite line :D
February 20, 20223 yr Nancy Boy and, to a lesser extent, The Bad Touch are big losses. Pleasantly surprised Nancy Boy made it this high though
February 20, 20223 yr Darn it, knew my post would jinx it :kink: The Bad Touch is iconic, deserved to qualify x
February 20, 20223 yr Some of my votes falling like flies here oops - 'The Bad Touch' is a little higher than I would have expected tbf! But a shame to see 'Stayin' Alive' falling short as well as 'You Can Call Me Al'. 'Nancy Boy' was literally the last song I cut from my votes just because I am not as familiar with it as I should be.
February 20, 20223 yr Author 29. Kelly Rowland - Work 255pts Writers - Jason "Poo Bear" Boyd, Scott Storch, Kelly Rowland Top points - AaronTM 25, Nick F1 23, Shoat 23 From 2008, this was the fifth top 5 single for Kelly Rowland. 9uZczPvm4jk
February 20, 20223 yr Author 28. Beyonce - Halo 258pts Writers - Ryan Tedder, Evan Bogart, Beyoncé Knowles Top points - London 24, Alex! 23, ready for it 20, Bjork 20 Beyonce finishes just above her Destiny's Child bandmate with this song from the same year. It's her best selling single in the UK. bnVUHWCynig
February 20, 20223 yr Author 27. Harry Styles - Watermelon Sugar 269pts Writers - Harry Styles, Mitch Rowland, Tyler Johnson, Thomas Hull Top points - Dante77 24, chrissmith276 21, Jason 19, Nick F1 19, Dorothea 19 From 2020, this was Harry Styles' fourth and most recent top 10 hit. It reached number 1 in the US where it also won a Grammy award for best pop solo performance. E07s5ZYygMg
