Posted December 30, 2024Dec 30 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 Ultimate Number 6 : Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence The time has now come to decide what the forum's favourite single that peaked at number 7 is. Once again, in the first round, you vote for your top 30 number 7 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 7 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 7 singles. There are two weeks for you to vote so plenty of time to look through this list to make sure you don't forget any songs that don't immediately spring to mind. Bear in mind some of the singles on the list might have reached a higher peak position in separate chart runs so they would be ineligible. I've spotted Layla, Sealed With A Kiss and Leader Of The Pack on there, there may be more. http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=197175 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.

December 30, 2024Dec 30 As I just posted in the #7s thread: --- New to add for 2024 since the last update: The Weeknd & Playboi Carti - TIMELESS Charli xcx & Ariana Grande - Sympathy is a knife Lady Gaga - Disease Billie Eilish - WILDFLOWER Cynthia Erivo featuring Ariana Grande - Defying Gravity Kelly Clarkson - Underneath The Tree [i think we can assume Lola Young - Messy will improve on its current #7 peak] These peaked higher since the last update: 2014: One Direction - Night Changes (#6 since) 2022: Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock (#5 since) 2024: Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile (#2 since) and these should probably be taken out of the list too: 1972: Derek and the Dominos – Layla (#4 in 1982) 1975: Brian Hyland – Sealed With a Kiss (#3 in 1962) 1976: The Shangri-Las - Leader of the Pack (#3 in 1972) 1976: The Who - Substitute (#5 in 1966) 1985: Simple Minds - Alive and Kicking (#6 in 1992) while these are borderline cases: 1978: Bill Withers – Lovely Day (#4 in 1988 as a remix) 2004: Depeche Mode – Enjoy the Silence '04 (#6 in 1990 as the original)

January 1Jan 1 Working from the most recent songs backwards, this felt like quite a weak rate... until we hit the mid 90s. Think I longlisted more songs from 1996 than from all the years after 1996 put together! Ended up having to leave out so many classics. NB I've not chosen Enjoy The Silence seeing as it won the #6 rate! +30 Pulp – Disco 2000 (potential waste of the wildcard as this will likely get through anyway, but I can't risk it not!) +29 The Seahorses – Blinded by the Sun +28 Apollo 440 – Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Dub +27 U2 – One +26 The Smashing Pumpkins – Tonight, Tonight +25 Robert Miles – Fable +24 Simple Minds – Don't You (Forget About Me) +23 Alan Walker – Faded +22 Lasgo – Alone +21 Green Day – Basket Case +20 Cast – Live the Dream +19 Enya – Anywhere Is +18 Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit +17 DJ Quicksilver – Free +16 The Strokes – 12:51 +15 Wink – Higher State of Consciousness +14 Celine Dion – A New Day Has Come +13 All Saints – War of Nerves +12 Grandmaster Melle Mel – White Lines (Don't Don't Do It) +11 Meat Loaf – Not a Dry Eye in the House +10 Elton John – Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting +9 Alanis Morissette – Head over Feet +8 Blur – Stereotypes +7 Manic Street Preachers – Australia +6 Iron Maiden – Run to the Hills +5 Supertramp – The Logical Song +4 Queen – You're My Best Friend +3 Darius – Live Twice +2 MOP feat.

January 1Jan 1 Author 27 Rain 24 Stoned Love Hi Darren, there are two number 7s called Rain. Are you voting for Status Quo or Madonna?. Your vote is quite eclectic so I don't think I can assume it's Madonna. Also, is Stoned Love meant to be Stoned In Love by Chicane?
