March 29, 20223 yr The mere presence of Kiss Me in this rate upsets me. Awful song! Just bought tickets today to see Muse for the 7th time... but think Supermassive Black Hole is their worst song and can't believe it's their highest charting by far 🤦♂️ By contrast Don't Tell Me is one of my faves by Madonna. And Adagio for Strings is superb. Would also have given the Barber original or the Tiesto version a load of points.
March 29, 20223 yr Yeah Starlight is by far and away my favourite Muse track together with Unintended. All the others I can live without. Unintended is gorgeous! The song that first got me into them

And Adagio for Strings is superb. Would also have given the Barber original or the Tiesto version a load of points. Well I agree with the 4th of those points :kink: my opinions are pretty much the exact opposite for the first 3 haha. I'd never heard 'Don't Tell Me' before this rate and I could certainly have done with continuing to have not heard it. I guess I can respect 'Biology' for being quite inventive for the standards of the genre but it's never really done anything for me as a song. Both of my bottom 2 out in quick succession there.
March 30, 20223 yr Gutted my fav 'Don't Tell Me' is gone - for me, it's by far the best song on the list; it's sublime - the strings are just beautiful. It got a few top marks, but and some really low ones too, which surprised me, it's a genuinely great track.... I wonder if people who gave it 1 point voted because they didn't like Madonna? Puzzles me because it's brilliant. Edited March 30, 20223 yr by Dante77
March 30, 20223 yr Don't Tell Me is one of Madonna's best crafted works, each detail is perfection :wub:
March 30, 20223 yr Author 32. Taylor Swift - Blank Space 1167pts Writers - Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Shellback Top scores - ready for it 50, London 50, Alex! 47 Low scores - Jason 1, Dante77 2, vibe 2 Average score - 24.8 From 2014, this was Taylor Swift's fifth top 5 single. It spent seven weeks at number 1 in the US, replacing 'Shake It Off', making Taylor the first female artist to succeed herself at the top of the chart there. e-ORhEE9VVg
March 30, 20223 yr 'Biology' is far too low :nocheer: not my top GA song but love its unusual structure
March 30, 20223 yr Author 31. Bruce Springsteen - Dancing In The Dark 1168pts Writer - Bruce Springsteen Top scores - Leonardo 48, jimwatts 48, Dj Cheeky Magpie 48 Low scores - Alex! 4, Dorothea 4, Mango 6 Average score - 24.9 Up to this point being more of an albums artist, this was Bruce Springsteen's first top 30 single. It won a Grammy award for best rock vocal performance. 129kuDCQtHs
March 30, 20223 yr Not too bad a result for Bruce. I hope Born In The USA does just as well when we get to a #5s rate.
March 30, 20223 yr Author 30.

It featured samples from 'You're No Good For Me' by Kelly Charles and 'Funky Nassau' by The Beginning Of The End. svJvT6ruolA
March 30, 20223 yr Losing some pretty good ones now (ahem, including the above), Clint Eastwood & Supermassive Black Hole are both great if not either artist's best and Barber's Adagio for Strings is one of my favourite dance songs :'( Beautiful trance and classical combination.
March 30, 20223 yr poor Blank Space, should also have been 7 weeks #1 in the UK one of Taylor's bestest, great lyrics love Dancing in the Dark too love Prodigy but much prefer the singles from Fat of the Land or Experience and even Invaders Must Die
March 31, 20223 yr 2 of my favourites out in the last 3 there (and I like the Bruce song a lot too) although I saw a fair few low scores for The Prodigy so #30 is a little higher than I expected, will happily take that! Gutted my fav 'Don't Tell Me' is gone - for me, it's by far the best song on the list; it's sublime - the strings are just beautiful. It got a few top marks, but and some really low ones too, which surprised me, it's a genuinely great track.... I wonder if people who gave it 1 point voted because they didn't like Madonna? Puzzles me because it's brilliant. I like plenty of Madonna songs ('Frozen' is one of my favourite songs of all time), I just really didn't like this one. You can predominantly blame Mirwais rather than Madonna for that because the main reason I wasn't a fan was the instrumental. Just sounded really choppy and discordant to my ears? (I was just wondering for a moment if that may have been YouTube having a bad quality upload but just listened to the iTunes preview of the song and it still sounds as bad as I remember).
March 31, 20223 yr I really liked Don’t Tell Me when it came out but I think it was so overplayed in 2000/01 that I really never ever wanted to hear it again. After a 21 year break… it’s good, and quite different from Madonna’s other singles at the time. But I still don’t think it stands up that well to most of this final 50. I thought Blank Space would do better but for me that’s about right for it. It’s not my favourite Prodigy song but glad to see it Top 30. The Bruce song is a classic but that’s a decent result.
March 31, 20223 yr Author 29. Aretha Franklin - I Say A Little Prayer 1174pts Writers - Burt Bacharach, Hal David Top scores - garyfeld 50, chartjack2 48, Dante77 46, Ansel 46 Low scores - Mark223 2, Mack 6, Grandwicky 6 Average score - 25 I Say A Little Prayer was first recorded by Dionne Warwick whose version reached number 4 in the US. Aretha Franklin and her backing singers started singing it as a warm up for the recording sessions for their next album. Realising that it should be recorded properly, Aretha's record label put it on the B side of her single, 'The House That Jack Built'. As an A side in the UK, it is one of five top 10 singles by Aretha spread across 27 years. TDyiREoBw0o
March 31, 20223 yr Author 28. Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever 1186pts Writers - Billie Eilish, Finneas O'Connell Top scores - NickF1 49, rio309 48, Bjork 47, detonate 47 Low scores - Mango 1, Mack 1, London 1, JackJones 1 Average score - 25.2 As well as being the most recent song in the final, this is the only one from the last seven years. It's a sixth top 5 single for Billie Eilish. 5GJWxDKyk3A
