Posted January 1, 20241 yr The hall of fame so far: Ultimate Number 1 : Madonna - Like A Prayer Ultimate Number 2 : A-ha - Take On Me Ultimate Number 3 : The Killers - Somebody Told Me Ultimate Number 4 : Radiohead - No Surprises Ultimate Number 5 : Green Day – Boulevard Of Broken Dreams The time has now come to decide what the forum's favourite single that peaked at number 6 is. Once again, in the first round, you vote for your top 30 number 6 singles. Please put them in order from 30 points for your favourite down to 1 point for your least favourite. The 100 singles with the most points will go through to two semi-finals of 50 songs each and the top 25 from each semi will go through to a final of 50 songs. Each voter's favourite number 6 from their first round vote will be given a wild card into the semi-finals even if it didn't receive enough points from other people to qualify so there could be more than 50 songs in each semi-final. Here is a link to the list of number 6 singles. There are two weeks for you to vote so plenty of time to look through this list to make sure you didn't forget any songs that don't immediately spring to mind. http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=197173 Remember, your favourite song should be at the top of your list with your least favourite at the bottom. So if anyone starts their list with 1, I will assume that means 1st place, not 1 point. Closing date - Sunday 14th January

January 2, 20241 yr My initial selection gave me a list of 85 songs, how on earth was I supposed to whittle them down to 30? This was probably the most difficult rate to do! Ordinarily 'It Must Be Love' by Madness would have made my list but I don't agree it should be included because it originally peaked at #4, so it would have been included in the #4s rate. Just because a re-release peaked at #6, that shouldn't qualify it for inclusion in this rate. +30 Ash – Oh Yeah +29 Rainbow - Since You've Been Gone +28 Kylie Minogue – What Do I Have to Do? +27 Roxette – Listen to Your Heart /Dangerous +26 Madonna – The Power of Good-Bye / Little Star +25 Little Boots – Remedy +24 Embrace – Come Back to What You Know +23 Belinda Carlisle – In Too Deep +22 Billie Ray Martin – Your Loving Arms +21 Janet Jackson – Again +20 Eagle-Eye Cherry – Save Tonight +19 Lady Gaga – The Edge of Glory +18 Sia – Chandelier +17 Shane Codd - Get Out My Head +16 Macy Gray – I Try +15 Madonna – Deeper and Deeper +14 Genesis – No Son of Mine +13 MC Sar and Real McCoy – Run Away +12 Texas – Sleep +11 Tiësto – Red Lights +10 Chicane feat.

January 2, 20241 yr Author Darren, there are two number 6 singles called Miss Independent. Could you let me know if you are giving 3 points to Ne-Yo or Kelly Clarkson.

January 2, 20241 yr Author I spotted U2's Discotheque in the list in 1997 but did it not reach #1? Yes, it did. There might be a few errors in the list from 1990 onwards which hopefully most of the voters will notice before they post their lists.
January 2, 20241 yr I spotted that Bobby Brown 'Two Can Play That Game' is in the list for 1995 - that definitely reached higher than #6 so I've edited it out
