January 11, 20232 yr Oh sorry about Five, it is in this list though: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=197172 I took it as a base for my votes Edited January 11, 20232 yr by perrobueno
January 11, 20232 yr I wonder how the Five song ended up in there, it didn't even come close to peaking at #5!
January 11, 20232 yr I must have mis-read the band name as the song's peak position when compiling the list ooooops
January 11, 20232 yr Author 9 points Amazulu - Too Good To Be Forgotten Darius - Rushes Nsync - I Want You Back Placebo - You Don't Care About Us Donna Summer - Down Deep Inside (Theme From 'The Deep') Travis - Coming Around Q2op_Jug2aM This song was too good to be forgotten by Skaky1981 who gave it 9 points. The original version by The Chi-Lites got to number 10 in 1974. If you play this clip, you will see it followed another number 5 that received votes on this particular episode of TOTP. Donna Summer's single from 1977 goes out but she has another one from the following year still left.
January 11, 20232 yr Author 10 points Bon Jovi - Keep The Faith Cheryl Cole - Parachute Guns N' Roses - Live And Let Die Bob Marley and The Wailers - One Love/People Get Ready OMC - How Bizarre Sia featuring Kendrick Lamar - The Greatest Turin Brakes - Pain Killer (Summer Rain) C2cMG33mWVY This was on my shortlist but didn't make my top 30. It was the only top 40 hit for New Zealand group OMC which stands for Otara Millionaires Club. The Bob Marley single is a medley, not a double A side. Three people voted for Cheryl Cole's Parachute but it still mustered only 10 points.
January 11, 20232 yr I must have mis-read the band name as the song's peak position when compiling the list ooooops Makes sense now :D anyway I was the only one who voted for it hahaha
January 11, 20232 yr Author 11 points Bananarama - Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye The Blow Monkeys - It Doesn't Have To Be This Way Foo Fighters - This Is A Call Crystal Gayle - Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue Jamelia - See It In A Boy's Eyes Iglu & Hartley - In This City Wet Wet Wet - Sweet Little Mystery 9pnp5HR751w From 1977, this was the first of two top 20 singles for the American country singer. Bananarama lose a second song but they have one left. It's the end of the road for Jamelia whose second number 5 goes out.
January 11, 20232 yr Author 12 points Daddy Yankee - Gasolina Emilia - Big Big World The Kinks - Apeman Rooster - Staring At The Sun Caterina Valente - The Breeze And I Wings - With A Little Luck Rx9wTuy2BRc I lose another song from my vote now, one of Wings' best songs. The Breeze And I is a one hit wonder from 1955. I've just had a listen to it, an interesting choice. I don't think I've heard it before.
January 11, 20232 yr Sad to lose my 8 and 9 pointers (Terrorvision and Darius) - but I hadn't been expecting either to have many other fans. Also surprised only one vote for One Love - it came close to my final list.
January 12, 20232 yr One song out today that I'm pretty confident would have been in my top 30 and that's Iglu & Hartly, really nostalgic song for me :heart: otherwise a bunch more I'm not familiar with but some more good tunes from Daddy Yankee (heard a clip of this being played live during ROSALÍA's concert recently lol), Bob Marley & The Wailers and OMC (the impact of the latter being mentioned in the Dead Men Talking remix of 'Fuck The Tories' :cheeseblock:) Also RIP Darius. I hadn't heard that Placebo song before but given it a quick listen now as I've enjoyed pretty much everything I've heard from them before - not bad but not their best, has a pretty weak hook.
January 12, 20232 yr One song out today that I'm pretty confident would have been in my top 30 and that's Iglu & Hartly, really nostalgic song for me :heart: HA! It was only voted for me. ;) It has always been one of my faves from the first decade of this century. :wub: I could have voted for Gasolina. It is sometimes played by my fave DJS on TikTok. I've already lost 4 songs, Sadly I'm gonna lose more by this weekend with 13, 15, 17 and 18 points all voted only for me. It's not my fault if I have unique taste. :drama: Edited January 12, 20232 yr by Jason
January 12, 20232 yr ^Unique bad taste, yes :D Placebo-You Don't Care About Us and Travis-Coming around are great songs
January 12, 20232 yr Some great losses in this sweep! Travis - Coming Around Bon Jovi - Keep The Faith Cheryl Cole - Parachute Guns N' Roses - Live And Let Die Sia featuring Kendrick Lamar - The Greatest Jamelia - See It In A Boy's Eyes Emilia - Big Big World Love all those, and I'm sad I wasn't able to give them any points so I'm glad that others did! Travis is probably my favourite of all those, back when they were at their peak and I remember it being in that run of 8 consecutive singles where each one peaked higher for them than the last :) Edited January 12, 20232 yr by Mangø
January 12, 20232 yr I hadn't heard that Placebo song before but given it a quick listen now as I've enjoyed pretty much everything I've heard from them before - not bad but not their best, has a pretty weak hook. Yeah it's good but not their best is a pretty accurate description of that. I'm still itching for the #11s rate because a certain Placebo song will get a LOT of points from me in that rate :wub:
January 12, 20232 yr Only two of my votes gone so far and I expected both of them to go early. Glad that The Wealdstone Raider had a point in the end :lol: Sun Goes Down, Candy, Parachute, Pain Killer (Summer Rain), This Is A Call, See It In A Boy's Eyes, In This City and Gasolina also all good songs in there that I didn't have room for in my vote, happy that they all got points at least even if some of them deserved better.
January 12, 20232 yr The Breeze And I is gorgeous - no doubt would have been a Buzzjack fave if released 60 years later :lol:
January 12, 20232 yr Author 13 points The Flying Lizards - Money Lindisfarne - Meet Me On The Corner Living In A Box - Living In A Box Ocean Colour Scene - Traveller's Tune Tiësto and Dzeko featuring Preme and Post Malone - Jackie Chan A J Tracey and Mabel - West Ten V - Hip To Hip / Can You Feel It? E-P2qL3qkzk This quirky cover of a Barrett Strong song from 1959 was the only top 40 hit for the new wave group. We also have the first hit singles for Lindisfarne and Living In A Box, both good songs. Traveller's Tune was the fifth of six consecutive top 10 hits for Ocean Colour Scene.
January 12, 20232 yr Author 14 points Akon - Belly Dancer (Bananza) Clean Bandit featuring Sharna Bass - Extraordinary Suede - Electricity ygHrqRx7Abg From 1999, this was the last of eight top 10 singles for Suede. With their two biggest fans on here not voting, it only scores 14 points. Clean Bandit and Akon both have one song left.
January 12, 20232 yr Author 15 points Ciara featuring Justin Timberlake - Love Sex Magic Iron Maiden - The Trooper (Live) Etta James – I Just Want To Make Love to You Liberty X - Holding On For You Kevin Rudolf featuring Lil Wayne - Let It Rock REM - Leaving New York The Surfaris - Wipe Out Vengaboys - Shalala Lala p13yZAjhU0M This classic 1963 instrumental was the only UK hit for the Surfaris. Elsewhere, we have an eclectic list from the Vengaboys to Iron Maiden.
