Top 5 for best:

Hey There Delilah

Rule The World

Black & Gold

Hallelujah

In For The Kill

 

Shayne Ward for worst

Voted for my five favourites this week (shame I missed two of them :lol:):

 

Arctic Monkeys - Brianstorm

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

Manic Street Preachers - Your Love Alone Is Not Enough

Sam Sparro - Black & Gold

Take That - Rule The World

 

Lee Mead for least favourite

Jeff Buckley and Plain White T's for best, several other good ones though. Shayne Ward for worst.

Take That, Sam Sparro, KOL and Jeff Buckley for best and Lee Mead for worst - Jason Donovan's version I really like but this one? no thanks x

Voted my top 5 of the options: 'Low', 'Black And Gold', 'Wearing My Rolex', 'Foundations' and 'In For The Kill' (in roughly that order) :wub: Nice to see 'Low' and 'Wearing My Rolex' make the cut (I assume it's based on which songs had the most positive reaction? even if there's not a way to quantify that like with plug.dj woots).

 

'Footprints In The Sand' was my least favourite, which feels weird to say when I love most of her hits including 'Better In Time' but that one can be done without. Just voted that as I didn't mind 'Any Dream Will Do' and I like the other 3! (They wouldn't be anywhere among my favourites of the round though so I'm not bothered.)

Arctics, Manics, Take That & Jeff Buckley for the best.

 

Shayne Ward and Leona for the worst.

Obviously the shortlisting process isn’t perfect but we try to take into account both the reactions in the session and our wider sense of what the classics / most popular songs are, trying to avoid any genre bias. We don’t always get it perfect but there hasn’t been a week where anyone’s felt too aggrieved at the omissions or we’ve missed any really big contenders as far as I know!

 

Speaking of which, commiserations to this week’s near misses for nomination, in particular Ida Corr, Kid Cudi and The Noisettes.

Brianstorm, Your Love Alone is Not Enough, Rule the World, Black & Gold, Hallelujah and In For the Kill for best, Stop Me would've made it had it been here over Valerie.

 

Normally would vote reality show winners, but they can't come close to Rockstar :puke:

Just giving this a bump :)

'Rockstar' with the lowest votes in the least fave, at the moment :cheeseblock:

You’re very good at identifying the songs to include in the “worst of” selection each week! :lol:

 

Again lots if favourites in the first poll to choose!

It can't be often that Nickelback are the least hated option! :D

Indeed. Which is why it's a pleasant surprise to me!

It’s been close all week, and we’re now tied in both polls! :blink:
