April 9, 20232 yr 8th Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of R-BT2yzXP8w Highest Pointer/s : Yobnedor, chartjack2, Chapman (11) Lowest Pointer/s : Jessie Where (0) Average Score : 6.86 'Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of' was the follow up single to BD in 2000 and peaked at number 2. It managed to pick up 3 sets of 11's and a 0 as well to prop it to 8th place here. Awful song. I can't see anything good or worthwhile about it. 'City of Blinding Lights' is alright though, and I'm happy to see 'Elevation' make the top 5!
April 9, 20232 yr Author So 'Electrical Storm' gets a 10 and a 9.5, but it gets beaten on a tiebreak by a song which gets a 10 and no 9.5 because it has more 9s well anyway, it's done well to be the highest non-Top 3 hit here. I hazard to assume you are confused as to how a song with one 9.5 didn't win out lol even when the other didn't get a 2nd 10 or 9.5 to give ES the advantage?
April 10, 20232 yr Yeah I share Jim’s confusion - why would the song with a 9.5 lose the tiebreak over the song without? :lol: Not that it matters really who was 6th and who was 7th. :D
April 10, 20232 yr Didn’t participate in this as I only know a handful of the songs, but Stuck In A Moment is great. Deserved better.
April 10, 20232 yr Author Yeah I share Jim’s confusion - why would the song with a 9.5 lose the tiebreak over the song without? :lol: Not that it matters really who was 6th and who was 7th. :D Yeah. I guess since both got 7.1 I'll change it over in that case. I was basing it off the fact that one got a 10 and a 9.5 whilst the other got two 9's instead with the 10 but I suppose that doesn't matter as much when deciding a tie breaker lmao. They'll be another tie breaker in the top 5 but that will be straightforward.
April 10, 20232 yr Author Changed 'Electrical Storm' and 'City Of Blinding Lights' places around now but doesn't make a difference as they both missed the top 5 obviously. For clarity neither song received an 11, both got 1 10 and 'Electrical Storm' got a 9.5 despite not getting another 9.5 nor a 9 whereas 'City Of Blinding Lights' didn't get a 9.5 but two 9's instead. So despite that I've cleared up the confusion and just given ES the advantage as it had the .5. I'm never quite sure what one does in those types of situations being totally honest.
April 10, 20232 yr Remaining... Vertigo Beautiful Day One (Ft Mary J Blige) Elevation Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own Will get into the top 5 tomorrow! My prediction; 5. One 4. Vertigo 3. Sometimes You Can’t Make It on Your Own 2. Elevation 1. Beautiful Day

Haha sorry didn’t mean to cause you hassle! Wardy’s prediction could well be right but maybe either Elevation or SYCMIOYO can pull off a surprise.
April 10, 20232 yr Author Haha sorry didn’t mean to cause you hassle! Wardy’s prediction could well be right but maybe either Elevation or SYCMIOYO can pull off a surprise. Nah it's fine I guess I probably should have looked into that more when I was working it out lol.
April 10, 20232 yr Author 5. Vertigo 98W9QuMq-2k Highest Pointer/s : Jessie Where (10) Lowest Pointer/s : Torple (03) Average Score : 7.4 'Vertigo' became the band 5's (4th if you exclude LMC but since I included it here..) UK #1 single in 2004. It is one that is quite widely remembered from their 00's singles but falls out 5th here as it didn't get a single 11 pointer unlike the song that came in 4th which did at least manage that.
April 10, 20232 yr Author 4. One (Ft Mary J Blige) ZpDQJnI4OhU Highest Pointer/s : Tafty³³³ (11) Lowest Pointer/s : dandy*, awardinary (05) Average Score : 7.4 (got an 11) Released in April 2006 and missing out on getting the band another chart topper is their re-do of 'One' with this time teaming up with RnB legend Mary J Blige. The band had already charted with 'One' all the way back in 1992 which peaked at #7. It did have the fortune of getting an 11 which 'Vertigo' sadly did not which puts it one place higher whilst sharing the same average score.
April 10, 20232 yr The original One is great but it’s a really good remake and think turning it into a kind of duet does give the song an added dimension.
April 10, 20232 yr Author Both are on a similar level for me but I guess the 06 one I'm more biased towards as I think it's great as a duet and Mary does a splendid job on it.
April 10, 20232 yr Author 3. Elevation 19KstSgU-c0 Highest Pointer/s : awardinary (11) Lowest Pointer/s : dandy* (03) Average Score : 7.8 'Elevation' comes third and that's also where it peaked in the UK Chart too in July 01 as the 3rd single from All That You Can't Leave Behind. It was Wardy's favourite here as he awarded ( ;) ) it his 11. It made for a good contender though and it certainly backed up comments saying it was one of their stronger releases with that top 3 placement. Two songs left battling it out and both passed the 8.0 average scores point too but who wins... find out tomorrow!
April 10, 20232 yr Author Also for me I'd count 'Elevation' (or 'City Of Blinding Lights') as my winners since those both got 9 from me and nothing got a 11 or 10. Be interesting to see what comes out on top or whether it's very predictable.
April 10, 20232 yr Author Recap up to 3rd 3. Elevation 7.8 4. One 7.4 (1 11) 5. Vertigo 7.4 6. Electrical Storm 7.1 7. City Of Blinding Lights 7.1 (did have a 10 like ES but also two 9's but no 9.5 which ES did receive despite that one not getting a 9 or a 2nd 9.5 or 10 so on basis of one of them getting a 9.5 regardless ES wins) 8. Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of 6.86 9. Take Me To The Clouds Above 6.8 10. Walk On 6.33 11. Windows In The Skies 5.66 12. I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight 5.36 13. Magnificent 5.0 14. All Because Of You 4.9 15. The Saints Are Coming 4.83 16. Get On Your Boots 3.0
