really hope it's A-ha

2. A-ha - Take On Me

165 points - 12s: …ready for it, dandy*

 

 

The winner of Buzzjack's Ultimate UK Number 2 Single in 2020, in which 100 finalists were given a rating by each voter, finishes as the runner-up in this rate!

1. Robert Miles - Children

180 points - 12s: Chez Wombat, Brer, rio309, Danuary, Cow P, chrissmith276

 

 

And it's the winner of the recent 20th Century Retro polls, from the EOY top 10s of each year of the 90s, to take the crown here! :cheer:

 

Thank you to all who voted and commented. The #3 sessions will commence next Sunday, with a new thread coming soon!

meh results

Children is a great dance track but it's far from being the best #2 ever :/

I put A-ha in 3rd place and Robert Miles 4th so that's not the worst outcome.

 

Thanks Jim for adding up the scores.

Thanks Jim! Quite surprised at Children beating TOM but I guess the song that won the week of death with Common People and Born Slippy was always going to do very well.

My top 2 being the top 2 *.* Brilliant stuff

Really happy for the top 2 as they inspired some songs/scores I loved.

 

Take On Me -> Blinding Lights

Children -> here's a video instead:

12 Confide in me

10 Murder on the dance floor

8 Fairytale in New York

7 Take on me

6 God only knows

5 Children

4 Let it be

3 Take me to church

2 Starboy

1 feel good inc

O Alice Deejay Better off alone

 

 

Awesome winner! Having only voted in the final, I didn't know what the format of the heats was... but yes, if Children had to beat the 1995-1996 #2s to qualify then it deserves to win for that alone!

Yass the correct winner *.* and great 2nd place too. I am surprised to see 'Let It Be' so high though, would have expected it to lose out to 'God Only Knows' out of the older songs on here. Also disappointing to see 'Starboy' in dead last but did well to get to the final I guess!
