June 7, 20223 yr Call Me teetered over into Eurocheese for me, though the synth riffs are fun. Axel F was OK until Crazy frog destroyed it. Nik Kershaw is always good, whatever he does, but I prefer Wouldnt It Be Good and The Riddle to this one.
June 7, 20223 yr Axel F is a tune in both original and Crazy Frog versions and I won't hear a word against it tbh
June 7, 20223 yr Axel F is a tune in both original and Crazy Frog versions and I won't hear a word against it tbh Hah! :lol: On behalf of all grown-ups forced to watch Crazy Frog when the kids were round, I can only say "Ring ding d-ding daa baa" Or something like that :D
June 7, 20223 yr All of those were decent but didn’t quite make my votes… wondering what will fall next for me, I was surprised to see that I had the most points still left in as thought I’d lost a few more along the way
June 7, 20223 yr Author NO 44- 87 POINTS Happy Xmas (War Is Over) John Lennon & Yoko Ono (Voter: JackJones- 10pts, Chez Wombat- 11pts, West- 4 pts. Jimwatts- 18pts, Gooddelta- 16pts, Daan- 18pts, Torple- 10pts) (#2 for 1 week in January 1981 behind “Imagine” by John Lennon) A new rate record of 7 voters for this one which dates back to the early 70s but after Lennon’s death shot to the runner up spot and is now a festive fixture on the charts. It’s also our 3rd favourite No 2 of 1980. Xbdyg51MVbg
June 7, 20223 yr Author NO 43- 95 POINTS Song For Whoever Beautiful South (Voter: JulianT- 15pts, AaronTM- 19 pts. Leonardo- 10pts, Jester- 13pts, AH Gold- 17pts, *Dandy- 4pts, Torple- 17pts) (#2 or 1 week in July 1989 behind “Back To Life” by Soul II Soul) Emerging from the remnants of the Housemartins, this was the first release from the new group. buCbZzlFu58
June 7, 20223 yr Author Top 40 will be revealed tomorrow but sadly our first 30 pointer will leave before we get there......
June 7, 20223 yr Love Lennon but War Is Over is a mess in my opinion - least favourite thing in the Top 50. My mid tier votes are dropping like flies - Song For Whoever is just so witty and charming. I’m wondering when Gezza’s going to bring out the Kryptonite for Superman - impressed at how high it’s flown!
June 7, 20223 yr I suspect Happy Xmas lost a few votes because it's an older song, maybe one day we'll need a rate of all the songs which peaked in a later decade so they get a fair crack :kink: The overplay thing as per all good Christmas songs doesn't help. Anyway it's the first loss from my top 15, but I'm guaranteed at least 20 songs in the final 40 so yay.
June 7, 20223 yr I’m concerned that O Superman’s time may be up soon :( So pleased it’s got this far!
June 8, 20223 yr oh looks like I forgot to vote for Song for Whoever :/ love the song, one of the best opening lines ever ("I love you from the bottom of my pencil case") can't believe I voted for Duran Duran twice, a band I kinda dislike, but forgot to vote for BS

June 8, 20223 yr Author NO 42- 96 POINTS Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Cyndi Lauper (Voter: JackJones- 2 pts, AaronTM- 23 pts, West- 11pts, Daan- 22pts, Bjork- 24pts, …Ready for it- 14pts) (#2 for 1 week in February 1984 behind “Relax” by Frankie Goes To Hollywood) Lauper’s cover proved her biggest hit and we like it enough to make it our 2nd favourite No 2 hit of 1984. 7-OJR1WbK2M
June 8, 20223 yr Author NO 41- 98 POINTS Another Day In Paradise Phil Collins (Voter: JackJones- 3 pts, JulianT- 25pts, Leonardo-7pts, Gooddelta- 15 pts, Bjork- 7pts, Torple- 11pts, …Ready For It- 30pts) (#2 for 1 week in November 1989 behind “All Around The World” by Lisa Stansfield) This isn’t our favourite Phil Collins 80s No 2 hit but it’s certainly …Ready for it’s favourite No 2 of the decade as they give this maximum points. ogskPBfu6xQ

June 8, 20223 yr Wow it's been ages since any of my votes dropped out! Pleasantly surprised to see 'Beat Dis' and 'Crockett's Theme' still in the running *.*
June 8, 20223 yr Wow I’ve absolutely crashed and burned on the leaderboard - lost 6 in 41-50! On reflection 25 was a bit high for Another Day In Paradise; it’s great but his other one left is better really. Pleased that O Superman lives another day!
