My favourite version of 'Something Good' is the '08 incarnation too but I like it in any form really, including the Kate Bush original

 

Quite like 'Kiss From A Rose' too

Kiss Me was one of only two top 40 hits for the American group. The release of their second album was delayed by the collapse of their record label and they disbanded in 2004 but got back together in 2007.

This was Gorillaz' debut single, the first of their five top 10 hits. The title comes from the song's similarity to the theme music of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It features rapping by the American, Del the Funky Homosapien.

36. Girls Aloud - Biology 1137pts

 

Writers - Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins, Lisa Cowling, Giselle Sommerville

Top scores - West 49, brokenrecords 49, London 49

Low scores - Bjork 2, King Rollo 2, Dj Cheeky Magpie 2, Brer 2

Average score - 24.2

 

After a run of eight consecutive top 5 singles was broken by 'Long Hot Summer' only reaching number 7, Biology returned Girls Aloud to the top five. It was taken from their third album, 'Chemistry'.

 

Kiss Me is nice but was overplayed to destruction by my local radio station.

Biology is one of Girls Aloud’s best - a really well composed and interesting song structure.

Clint Eastwood is fantastic - I don’t think the Gorillaz ever beat it despite having a number of other brilliant songs.

Together with wizzard, Biology was the weakest link

 

Clint Eastwood and Kiss me are nice

Biology is a pop masterpiece - very pleased it even made the top 50 - and a 36th place showing. I love how the Girls Aloud team experimented with pop.

35. Madonna - Don't Tell Me 1137pts

 

Writers - Madonna, Mirwais Ahmadzaï, Joe Henry

Top scores - Dante77 50, blacksquare 50, vibe 50

Low scores - Brer 1, jimwatts 2, coi 2, chartjack2 2

Average score - 24.2

 

Don't Tell Me was the second single to be taken from Madonna's 2000 album 'Music'. The three 50 point scores mean that it wins a tie-break over Biology.

34. Muse - Supermassive Black Hole 1138pts

 

Writer - Matt Bellamy

Top scores - chrissmith276 48, coi 48, MandaliCow 47

Low scores - JackJones 2, chartjack2 5, Bjork 7, London 7

Average score - 24.2

 

This was the first single taken from the 'Black Holes And Revelations' album. It's still Muse's highest charting and only top 5 single. With its first round score 16 points below the cut off point, it's done very well as coi's wild card to finish as high as 34th in the final.

33. William Orbit - Barber's Adagio For Strings 1156pts

 

Writer - Samuel Barber

Top scores - Jason 50, rio309 49, Dante77 48, AH Gold 48, Mark223 48, Daan 48

Low scores - Achabaan 1, Roba 3, SevenSeize 3

Average score - 24.6

 

The American composer Samuel Barber wrote his Adagio For Strings in 1936 and it was first performed in 1938. William Orbit's nine minute ambient electronic version appeared on his 1995 album 'Pieces In A Modern Style'. It was remixed by the Dutch DJ Ferry Corsten for the 1999 single release.

 

Not absolutely wild about any of those, though if Muse’s follow up “Starlight” had been a #4 hit that would have received a huge score from me!
love Adagio for Strings, maybe even more the Tiesto version that came later

Biology is by far Girls Aloud’s best single.

 

Shame Clint Eastwood is so low as well :(

Yeah Starlight is by far and away my favourite Muse track together with Unintended. All the others I can live without.
