March 26, 20223 yr Yep, another three big losses, I actually can't believe 'Dirty Diana' is out this early, biggest shock so far :o easily one of Jacko's best.
March 26, 20223 yr 42 Aerosmith - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing 1059pts Writer - Diane Warren Top scores - chrissmith276 50, Mandali Cow 50, xajnipi 49, Mack 49 Low scores - AH Gold 1, brokenrecords 1, Daan 1 Average score - 22.5 Aerosmith were formed in 1970 but didn't have a hit single in the UK until 1989. Written for the 1998 film, 'Armageddon', this song is still their only top 10 hit. JkK8g6FMEXE Walk this Way was 1986 and a top 10. That surely counts towards Aerosmith as well as Run DMC? Sad to see Dirty Dianna out so early but can’t bear Savage Garden (from the last set).
March 26, 20223 yr Walk this Way was 1986 and a top 10. That surely counts towards Aerosmith as well as Run DMC? Yes, 'Walk With Way' is very much an Aerosmith song - if anything, I'd associate it more with Aerosmith than with Run DMC.
March 27, 20223 yr Author Aerosmith are not credited as artists on that one so it didn't appear on the list of their hit singles that I was looking at. It seems that only Steve Tyler and Joe Perry contributed to that version of the song.
March 27, 20223 yr Aw no at DD dropping out, echoing that it's one of his best songs. 'Jar of Hearts' is beautiful, Aerosmith overplayed but still a classic rock song and 'Truly Madly Deeply' likewise. Do love me some Savage Garden in general and wouldn't put that as their best song.
March 27, 20223 yr 'Dirty Diana' isn't quite one of my absolute fave MJ songs but it is great! 'Jar Of Hearts' has felt surprisingly avoidable in recent years, feel like it's actually been overshadowed a bit by 'A Thousand Years' despite having a higher peak. 'I Don't Want To Miss A Thing' is a classic of course. Gloriously OTT.
March 27, 20223 yr love both Dirty Diana and Jar of Glass the Aerosmith one, not so much, too sappy but of course Aerosmith were credited on Walk this Way https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/24519/aerosmith/
March 27, 20223 yr I loved the first 3 to drop out but have been less fussed about the others. Truly Madly Deeply is too cheesy for me (though love To The Moon And Back). November Rain would have been a much better addition to the final. Ah well.
March 27, 20223 yr Aerosmith are not credited as artists on that one so it didn't appear on the list of their hit singles that I was looking at. It seems that only Steve Tyler and Joe Perry contributed to that version of the song. What list of singles are you looking at? They're credited on Polyhex and on the OCC, and even the single cover says "featuring Aerosmith"!
March 27, 20223 yr Author I was looking at the Guinness Book Of Hit Singles. Also, the Aerosmith singles discography on wiki doesn't include it either.
March 27, 20223 yr No massive favourites out so far and I'd say that bottom few is right (though Where the Streets Have No Name certainly doesn't deserve to be last!), though I do really enjoy the endlessly singalong I Don't Want to Miss a Thing & have a soft spot for Truly Madly Deeply as well.
March 27, 20223 yr Author 41. Utah Saints - Something Good 1073pts Writers - Kate Bush, Jez Willis Top scores - Jason 49, marcinjaro 47, Uls2000 47 Low scores - xajnipi 2, blacksquare 2, Ansel 2 Average score - 22.8 Featuring a sample from Kate Bush's 'Cloudbusting', this was the second top 10 single for the Harrogate based duo. A remix took the song back to number 8 in 2008. ixMWhpg0iXU

Janet Jackson - Together Again 1075pts Writers - Janet Jackson, James Harris III, Terry Lewis, René Elizondo Jr. Top scores - AaronTM 49, vibe 48, Alex! 48 Low scores - Boymetworld91 1, Jason 2, Ansel 3, Dorothea 3 Average score - 22.9 Together Again spent ten weeks in the top 10 and is Janet Jackson's best selling single in the UK with about 800,000 copies sold. 69fx7n-D_nU
March 27, 20223 yr Out of all the 11 songs I had to listen to before voting due to not knowing/remembering them 'Together Again' was the one I recognised the most, turns out that is a song I know reasonably well but I guess never realised it was a Janet Jackson song. It's pretty good anyway although nothing mindblowing. I slightly prefer the '08 version of 'Something Good' but it's a banger either way.
March 27, 20223 yr Author 39. Seal - Kiss From A Rose / I'm Alive 1114pts Writer - Seal Top scores - Shoat 50, Jester 48, garyfeld 45 Low scores - vibe 3, Mark223 4, coi 4 Average score - 23.7 Kiss From A Rose was written by Seal in 1987 but as he didn't like it, he didn't present it to Trevor Horn until his second album was being recorded. It only got to number 20 in 1994 but was re-released the following year after being used on the soundtrack for the 'Batman Forever' film. That second release was a double A side with I'm Alive but I think it was Kiss From A Rose, which won three Grammy awards, that we were all voting for here. yivLt9cTaioEzjVUfQYqS8
March 27, 20223 yr The remix to 'Something Good' is much superior but the original is fine too. Like 'A Kiss From A Rose' as well and 'Together Again' is great too.
March 27, 20223 yr 'Something Good' is... something good but not something amazing. 'Together Again' is a great song and fully deserves to be Janet's best selling UK single. 'Kiss From A Rose' is a gorgeous song, always loved the melody and the lyrics.
