July 17, 20223 yr Author Voting is now closed so let's talk a rundown of the honourable top 10 hits of this year. #10 – 52 – Alicia Keys – You Don't Know My Name {18}-26-44-54-60-54R(282)->6 _ST6ZRbhGiA Leading off "The Diary Of Alicia Keys" it made US #3 but could only be a minor top 20 hit in UK. It was produced by Kanye West before he got famous and won a Grammy award for best R&B song but I don't really see the fuss here.
July 17, 20223 yr Author #09 – 57 – Flaming Lips – Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Part 1 {18}-33-54->3 ZdDHi5SSIlM Well there always has to be a token random indie song doing well in one of these then I guess. I'd never heard of this song before. Apparently the album it is from is a concept album about a Japanese woman's battle with cancer. Which I guess makes it a unique chart hit.
July 17, 20223 yr Author #08 – 62 – Lemon Jelly – Nice Weather For Ducks {16}-30-48->3 mZyL_uH4z90 Another odd chart hit here, the only top 20 hit out of 5 top 40 hits for Lemon Jelly who were an electronic music duo. They had their album get nominated for Mercury Music Prize but soon fell off and went on hiatus since 2008.
July 17, 20223 yr Author #07 – 63 – Muse – Hysteria {17}-43-62-64-65-72->6 3dm_5qWWDV8 Perhaps one of the band's signature hits but you wouldn't tell from its pitiful chart run although the album had already been out when this got a single push. A big stadium rock anthem which I thought would've challenged for a top 5 placing here but oh well.
July 17, 20223 yr Author #06 – 73 – Royksopp – Eple {16}-34-51->3 qczr6Z2qtpE Another electronic duo now, perhaps a much more well known one however as despite taking a long hiatus they are still going now. 'Eple' is an excellent piece anyhow which I'm impressed managed to get as high as #16 anyhow though I think it had some help from being used in TV/adverts(?)
July 17, 20223 yr Author #05 – 75 – Plummet – Damaged {12}-19-13-21-28-26-39-53-63-74->10 eaWO9HBU7Aw And I'll cheer on the trance records while we're still able to get justice for them in this contest so a big yay for this reaching the top 5 here! :cheer: Plummet (rather than Plumite as was misspelt) were an American duo who covered this song from similarly named vocalist Plumb.
July 17, 20223 yr Author #04 – 78 – Foo Fighters – Times Like These {12}-29-42-59-74-58R(231)->6 rhzmNRtIp8k An already very well known Foo record, this must have also been helped here by the recent prominence of the song being covered for charidee in 2020 taking it to UK #1 whilst the original track which followed up #5 hit All My Life couldn't quite break the top 10.
July 17, 20223 yr Author #03 – 82 – Nelly Furtado – Powerless (Say What You Want) {13}-27-29-24-28-30-37-46-56-63->10 RDCWO47tKIM Not a Nelly Furtado song I'm familiar with actually as it was before I got into pop music and not quite as big as I'm Like a Bird, however a lot of you rated it very highly and it ends up on the podium. It led the album "Folklore" 17 years before Taylor Swift's album of the same title.
July 17, 20223 yr Author #02 – 94 – Linkin Park – Numb {14}-26-36-41-54-66->6 kXYiU_JCYtU One of the band's signature hits so much that it could end up here in this contest again in 2004 in remixed form, it also re-entered the top 20 in 2017 for tragic reasons. The song remains incredibly popular with over a billion hits on both Spotify and YouTube but despite having enough points to beat the winners of 2000-2003 it couldn't quite challenge...
July 17, 20223 yr Author #01 – 135 – No Doubt – It's My Life {20}-32-44-61-63-73-73->7 ubvV498pyIM With a very convincing victory having received 17 votes and 135 points, the most for any of these 00s contests so far. No Doubt took the Talk Talk song and made it their own giving it a bit more edge and it has since become one of their signature hits. The band would soon go on hiatus while Gwen Stefani had a big solo career. Full result: #01 – 135 – No Doubt – It's My Life #02 – 94 – Linkin Park – Numb #03 – 82 – Nelly Furtado – Powerless (Say What You Want) #04 – 78 – Foo Fighters – Times Like These #05 – 75 – Plumite – Damaged #06 – 73 – Royksopp – Eple #07 – 63 – Muse – Hysteria #08 – 62 – Lemon Jelly – Nice Weather For Ducks #09 – 57 – Flaming Lips – Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Part 1 #10 – 52 – Alicia Keys – You Don't Know My Name #11 – 48 – Placebo – The Bitter End #12 – 41 – Linkin Park – Faint #13 – 41 – Counting Crows feat. Vanessa Carlton – Big Yellow Taxi #14 – 36 – Ja Rule feat. Ashanti – Mesmerize #15 – 35 – Dizzee Rascal – Fix Up Look Sharp #16 – 31 – Darkness – Growing On Me #17 – 31 – Radiohead – 2 + 2 = 5 #18 – 26 – Sugababes – Shape #19 – 23 – Thrills – Big Sur #20 – 23 – Dandy Warhols – We Used To Be Friends #21 – 21 – Ultrabeat – Feelin' Fine #22 – 20 – All American Rejects – Swing Swing #23 – 18 – Mark Ronson – Ooh Wee #24 – 16 – Blink 182 – Feeling This #25 – 16 – Mock Turtles – Can You Dig It 2003 #26 – 15 – Justin Timberlake – Senorita #27 – 15 – Javine – Surrender (Your Love) #28 – 15 – Scooter – Weekend #29 – 11 – Red Hot Chili Peppers – Fortune Faded #30 – 07 – Massive Attack – Special Cases #31 – 04 – White Stripes – I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
July 17, 20223 yr Great to see Flaming Lips in the top 10, Plummet in the top 5 and Linkin Park with a big score.
July 17, 20223 yr Yay for Linkin Park, The Foos, Plummet and the Flaming Lips! Shame Placebo just missed the Top 10. As for It’s My Life, I do like No Doubt generally but to me it’s just pretty much a straight cover of the original and I can’t see all that much merit in it, sorry!
July 17, 20223 yr Oh great number one voted in No Doubt. Love 'It's My Life' :wub: Also great to see 'Numb' 2nd.
July 18, 20222 yr It's My Life is an outstanding cover of an already great track and not surprised to see it win this as it was always a song I was amazed was never a top 10! A very eccentric top 10 there with Flaming Lips, Lemon Jelly & Royksopp. And great to see Plummet in the top 5 although it deserved even higher.
July 19, 20222 yr Mostly a very good top 10 there, particularly love to see 'Nice Weather For Ducks', 'Eple' and 'Damaged' <3 No Doubt is an ok winner, don't think I'd have voted for it nor do I see how it's enough of a standout to be so far ahead at #1 though! 'Fix Up Look Sharp', 'Ooh Wee' and 'I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself' deserved better (tbf I'm not sure the latter would have made my votes but it is definitely worth more than a total of 4 points).
