Posted February 28Feb 28 Welcome, after a long pause I like to introduce my 4th big countdown. 😉My previous rankings were :- all 100 ABBA songs (from the best to the worst)- Top 100 songs from girls groups- Top 100 Eurovision songsI started with 2000s, because it's my favourite decade in music and many my favourites were successful in UK official chart. Also my finished weekly "Gražios Dainos" charts for 2000-2003 years helped very much in compilation of this countdown. In my dreams I wish to do the similar lists for 70s, 80s and 90s. Only songs from UK top 40 are legal for this countdown, so somewhere near 85-90 % songs are well-known and can bring your interest to my hitlist.Top 5 songs are very predictable, but you can try to name the singers/groups with 4 and more hits in this list.
February 28Feb 28 Author Before a main countdown we have a small bonus part. Please, don't judge me for it.In 70s, 80s, 90s my favourite song from decade was represented in UK Top 40. Let's listen my # 1 from 2000s. This "blonde ladies anthem" was the highlight in YVA career and spent 11 weeks at # 1 in my weekly chart.YVA - Brunetes Blondines (2007) - 10/1010/10 is very rare score, but you will see six (!!!) songs with the highest mark.
