February 9, 20232 yr Author 37. Madonna - Dress You Up 223pts Writers - Andrea LaRusso, Peggy Stanziale Top points - marcinjaro 25, Bjork 25, vibe 24 Both of Madonna's songs in this semi-final have gone out today but she still has three more to come in the second semi. Dress You Up was produced by Nile Rodgers who also played guitar. It has the same number of points and votes as End Of The Line so it wins the tie-break by having two 25 point scores, End Of The Line has just one. mWtpd8mS5jw

February 9, 20232 yr OMG 25, 24 and 23 rd out !!! In a row !! They all seemed very popular in the votes!
February 9, 20232 yr The two Madonna songs are easily the best of that bunch, shame they didn't finish a bit higher, really hoping 'You'll See' will fare better in the other SF.
February 10, 20232 yr 'Like A G6' was the only one of those I voted for and even then I'm not going to pretend I really care about it being out, it's a really dumb song but a fun nostalgic one x
February 10, 20232 yr Now I also start to get robbed. Planet Funk and Alesha 😪 ‘The Boy Does Nothing’ is iconique for me. Brings back the best memories, and the lyrics are so stupid!
February 10, 20232 yr Author 35. Donna Summer - MacArthur Park 231pts Writer - Jimmy Webb Top points - jez1982 25, Leonardo 25, Mark223 25 The original version of MacArthur Park by Richard Harris failed to make it past the first round of the number 4 poll last year. Donna Summer's disco cover from 1978 has gone one stage further. Produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, it was an American number 1. lV1oafB3grM

Radiohead - Pyramid Song 234pts Writers - Radiohead Top points - dandy* 25, Jester 25, !!! 23, coi 23 With lyrics inspired by the Egyptian underworld, this was Radiohead's sixth top 10 single.

February 10, 20232 yr Author 33. Feeder - Buck Rogers 234pts Writers - Taka Hirose, Jon Lee, Grant Nicholas Top points - Roba 24, coi 24, Liamski689 22 This was a big hit for the Welsh band after their first ten singles all failed to get any higher than number 20.

February 10, 20232 yr Author 32. Dario G - Carnaval de Paris 250pts Writers - Paul Spencer, Scott Rosser, Stephen Spencer Top points - Cow Cow 24, xajnipi 22, Campbell 22 This song can be traced back to the Netherlands where fans of FC Utrecht based a chant on the melody to the folk ballad 'Oh My Darling, Clementine'. It was picked up by fans of Sheffield Wednesday who had played them in a pre-season friendly and then by other football clubs. Dario G's recording was used for the 1998 World Cup in France. dLB56lFYlBI

It was the only top 40 hit for her group. c_BcivBprM0
February 10, 20232 yr Because The Night is sublime. My 24 gone - quite surprised my 25 is still in but we’ll see if it’s gone the distance tomorrow. Pyramid Song is also beautiful. :heart:
February 10, 20232 yr Gutted at both Radiohead and Feeder going out just there, love both of them! Pyramid Song is beautiful and Buck Rogers is a banger, was great to watch live too. Only one of my top seven is still in here (I did expect Dynoro, Foo Fighters, Far East Movement and Fall Out Boy to leave at this stage though), really hoping it's done enough to get through.
February 11, 20232 yr I already raved about Now 49 in Rich's 00s personal chart #1s thread and now I can extend that here with the appearance of the beautiful 'Pyramid Song' :wub:
February 11, 20232 yr Two bonafide indie anthems out in Feeder and Radiohead. 'Because The Night' is a big loss too, always rated that song even if I didn't manage to find space for it in my votes.
February 11, 20232 yr 'Buck Rogers' and 'Pyramid Song' were two of the last ones I cut, the latter I'm just not familiar enough with (maybe if we do an album listenthrough for that album it'll click with me more x) but I did enjoy it when it popped up in the #1 albums sessions though not quite as much as a couple of their others that were played there! 'Because The Night' is pretty good as well, although tainted by the existence of a C*sc*da version tbh x
