November 21, 20222 yr Oh wow - Torn not making the top 10 is the biggest shock of the entire rate for me. I thought that would stand a real shot at winning the whole thing as it's so popular across people will very varying tastes.
November 21, 20222 yr well that just wont do, Torn and FBS are both 90's super-number one tracks in the main chart that counts - mine! :o Torn not top 10 just seems so wrong!
November 21, 20222 yr Well I already know what Rich's last vote went to now ;) 'Torn' out is a surprise. I'd have expected that to be top 5 at least. I do like it and it's a classic but I actually prefer 'Shiver' to it but both great songs. 'Right Here Right Now' is an anthem too and tbh might have been one of the last 10 I cut but I can't remember now.
November 21, 20222 yr It was difficult to choose a favourite here but 'Right Here Right Now' has always been such a mesmerising piece of dance music for me and felt like the one after some deliberation :wub: my favourite may be out but still plenty to root for at least with 3 of my top 5 still in the game. Now that Natalie is out I am clinging on to hope that Tammy Wynette can finish as the highest female vocalist here, that would be another retro swerve a la Dusty in the 80s #2s :D (better not underestimate the power of Madonna in these games though!)
November 21, 20222 yr 5 of mine making the top 10 then. Pretty good going although I do have a feeling I didn't vote what might be the top 2 here but we'll see. Edited November 21, 20222 yr by Roba!
November 21, 20222 yr Dead last, ha at having only one song left in the top ten, but at least I got one. Asbolutely astonished Torn missed the top ten, thought it was possibly even a top three dark horse as I couldn't think who it wouldn't appeal to in some way. Just seems it didn't attract many super high scores. Better Off Alone in the top ten :cheer:
November 21, 20222 yr Back up the voters chart I go with those two! I'm afraid I missed the point when Right Here Right Now was universally declared as the Fatboy Slim single above the other three from the album, but they're all great. I worked in retail for most of the year after Torn's release and would normally hear it on the commercial radio station twice if not three times on a 6-hour shift, so that was enough for it not to appeal to me - sorry! I have 8 intact in the top 10... and we still await the rogue appearance of You by S Club 7 :D
November 21, 20222 yr I have 8 intact in the top 10... and we still await the rogue appearance of You by S Club 7 :D Stardu St Club 7!
November 21, 20222 yr Oh no, I was hoping those calls for it not to be top 10 wouldn't be true :cry: Right Here Right Now is a beautiful dance song, the strings, synths, and video combination is absolutely mesmerising, I much prefer it to Praise You as good as that is too. Torn is great too, I'm not that surprised it's not top 10 if just because the rest of that top 10 all feel very fitting there, I'm most surprised at Wonderwall still to come, I thought it's overexposure would've grated on a few people but clearly not! I'm predicting Common People, Justified and Ancient and Ray of Light to be the top 3 though I'm not sure in what order they'll come :thinking:
November 21, 20222 yr Going to predict... 01. Justified and Ancient 02. Common People 03. Children 04. Ray Of Light 05. Born Slippy 06. Bittersweet Symphony 07. Wonderwall 08. Better Off Alone 09. A Design For Life 10. Music Sounds Better With You
November 21, 20222 yr I think 01. Common People 02. Justified and Ancient (only one here I don't immediately know I don't think) 03. Wonderwall 04. Children 05. Born Slippy 06. Bittersweet Symphony 07. Ray Of Light 08. Music Sounds Better With You 09. A Design For Life 10. Better Off Alone Edited November 21, 20222 yr by Roba!
November 21, 20222 yr :o I suddenly have more faith in 'Common People' winning too if some voters didn't know 'Justified and Ancient'. Take a trip to mu mu land pronto!!
November 21, 20222 yr Oh poor Torn Robbed by Aqua in 1997 and Now robbed by Buzzjack :/ Did deserve top 10 over Stardust, what is that doing in the t10 And even above KLF or Madonna Sadness :/ About right for Fatslim boy
