March 2, 20223 yr oh Swing Out Sister-Breakout is the first big loss here, one of the best and most underrated bands of the 80s
March 2, 20223 yr I knew Bob Dylan wouldn't get through, but those are decent returns for him and also The Thompson Twins who I couldn't quite fit in my votes. I didn't realise Rita Ora had that Top 10s record - looks like she's since been joined by Jess Glynne on 13, with Dua Lipa on 12 and Adele on 11 perhaps likely to overtake at some point.
March 2, 20223 yr While it's still too low, I'm actually quite impressed Bob Dylan made it this far, least respect we can do for Rolling Stone's best song of all time :P It's worthy of that, some beautiful organ and wordplay throughout. Didn't realise how high these scores would be even lower down, wow.
March 2, 20223 yr 3 tracks I love there - as others have said Dylan deserved better but not unexpected; not a Rita fan especially but have a big soft spot for Let You Love Me and adore Breakout. :heart:
March 2, 20223 yr Too low for 'Mrs. Robinson' though I didn't expect that to do amazingly well tbf. Glad that Rita song is out, one of her worst.

March 3, 20223 yr well I suppose 40th is decent enough for LT if Levels could only have placed 26th but boo at neither Avicii song making it through. :(

March 3, 20223 yr Cornflake Girl was my @1 <3 definetely best @4 ever Sadly the EU tour has been cancelled and shes only playing the Uk/ireland dates
March 3, 20223 yr 3 more losses for me - Kiss the Rain, Cornflake Girl and Antidote. :cry: I love all 6 Swedish House Mafia singles from One to Don’t You Worry Child and I used to listen to them as a mini album.
March 3, 20223 yr Billie Myers is from Coventry?! I always assumed she was American for some reason! 'Cornflake Girl' is up there with Tori's best, it was close to getting points from me, shame to lose it this early really.
March 3, 20223 yr Love love love Kiss the Rain - such a shame it’s gone out Yeah it's a tune. I loved the follow up 'Tell Me' just as much tbh.
March 3, 20223 yr I’ve lots a number of my big pointers. Not a good round for me. I’ll be interested to see what survives !
