With the Tommy Richman song cracking the UK top 40 it gave me this idea - choose your favourite top 40 hits that share a title with an Oscar Best Picture winner!

 

Quite a few surprises here, the most common titles are Sunrise and From Here To Eternity with 3 appearances each and only one #1 single appears, courtesy of Little Mix. There was a top 40 called Sunrise for 3 years in a row!

 

(NB I've been pretty strict with exact titles with the exceptions of including/excluding 'The' from titles)

Spotlight by a mile. But I’m not familiar with the vast majority of those songs! Very good idea though, I’m surprised there’s so many
  • Author
Voted for Vangelis, Modern Romance, Primitives, Angel City, Star Pilots, Birdy, Neon Jungle & Tommy Richman.
Special mention to the band All About Eve <3
Modern Romance got my vote. A very varied selection of songs including many I don't know - gave the Giorgio Moroder one a play.
Voted for Vangelis, D:Ream (nice that one of their other hits apart from 'Things' gers a spotlight) and Birdy's 'Wings' (which has been used for a couple of films ('Labor Day', 'Winter's Tale)

Lil bump as I saw this thread the other week but didn't get around to voting in it until now :jump:

 

Voted for Vangelis, John Legend, Star Pilots, Birdy, XXXTENTACION (the one song I do shamefully really like from him x at least I'm not alone in voting for it!) and Tommy Richman. A few other pretty good songs on there too although as per usual with these polls a ton that I don't recognise by title.

 

I see Vangelis and Jennifer Hudson were tied for the win in this poll before I voted so broken that tie for now :magic:

Ooh nice idea, I went for Chariots of Fire, Crash (original obvs x shame it shares a name with a joke of a winner), In The Heat of the Night (forgotten dance banger) and Birdy's Wings. Haven't actually seen any of those films though x

John Legend - Ordinary People [2005, #4]

Jennifer Hudson - Spotlight [2008, #11]

Birdy - Wings [2013, #8]

Neon Jungle - Braveheart [2014, #4]

 

^ got my votes. Spotlight my overall favourite :wub:

Voted for Vangelis, Modern Romance and Star Pilots. Almost voted for Neon Jungle's attempt at big room house

 

Which reminds me - shoutout to DJ Sakin and friends - Protect Your Mind (Braveheart) who maybe should have been included.
