Madonna, Kylie and Dua all finishing in the bottom 5 of something on BuzzJack seems a little off brand!

I think 'Electricity' was the only one of the bottom 5 that I voted for! I didn't get the hype at first but it was a real slow burner.
Bedtime Story is bloody brilliant and brave - I love it and whilst I don't love the video, I applaud M for always taking chances....

Dannii Minogue finishes ahead of her sister and also Sheryl Crow whose similarly titled song failed to qualify. The single was her first top 5 hit and is still her best selling single in the UK.

48. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Youngblood 169pts

 

Writers - Calum Hood, Ali Tamposi, Andrew Watt, Ashton Irwin, Luke Hemmings, Louis Bell

Top points - Jason 25, Mark223 21, chrissmith276 16

 

From 2018, this was the Australian group's third top 5 single, spending 40 weeks in the top 100 and eight weeks at number 1 in their own country. It has the same number of points and votes as 'All I Wanna Do' and so wins the tie-break by having one 25 point score.

 

I'm glad Naughty Boy finished that low, it's never been my favourite of his, he's done so many better songs than that despite Beyonce's presence on it.

 

Dannii, on the other hand, finishes criminally low with one of the best pop songs of the 90s :wub:

Runnin’ is a fantastic tune for me, and Sick And Tired is another beautifully crafted song (probably my favourite of Anastacia’s actually). I gave both of those middling points.
Lost two of my votes there, Anastacia just scraping in (it's not as good as 'Left Outside Alone' but still a good tune) and 5SOS ending up surprisingly high up my votes, I'm not a big fan of them in general but 'Youngblood' is by far their best song and has aged really well imo.

Lost a few from my votes in that batch!

 

+11 Anastacia - Sick And Tired

+05 Naughty Boy featuring Beyonce and Arrow Benjamin - Runnin' (Lose It All)

+01 Dannii Minogue - All I Wanna Do

 

I agree with Bray that 'Sick And Tired' isn't quite as good as 'Left Outside Alone' but very punchy nevertheless and a solid second favourite of hers. 'Runnin' (Lose It All)' is really atmospheric <3 it was huge for Naughty Boy to get Beyoncé on one of his songs *.* and like Anastacia I think Dannii's done better but good enough to scrape in.

I'm probably one of the few people whose favourite song with Beyoncé on it is Runnin' so am sad to see it go!

Although they had one other top 10 single, this is certainly the song that Swing Out Sister are best known for. Martin Jackson left the group in 1989 and they have continued as a duo ever since, releasing eleven albums in total.
