In lieu of the previous SyncTube sessions' weekly polls cutting each week's songs down to a list of 10 options to vote for because no one volunteered to do the work to make such curated lists, for our Hot 100 #1s marathon I'm just going to post one of these threads each week allowing people to vote for whichever songs they want from the full list x

 

If you don't know what the above sentence is referring to don't worry, this thread is open to participation from anyone (although we're always open to new participants at our weekly listening sessions x), just post in the thread with up to 5 favourites and, if you want, up to 3 least favourites from the below song list. The song with the most favourite nods will get a play at the start of next week's session (and the song with the most least favourite nods will just have a permanent place on a wall of shame for funziez).

 

It was an easy second best poll win in a row for OutKast with 'Hey Ya!' following 'Ms. Jackson' to the top on 9 votes, having a rare clear lead over the field as the joint closest competition of Sean Paul's 'Get Busy' and Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' were both 3 votes behind. OutKast become the second act to have 2 wins on the poll following Simon & Garfunkel's wins in weeks 3 and 5. Over on the worst poll we had our first ever 3 way tie for victory as a late vote bumped Fantasia's 'I Believe' up to 4 votes, matching the tally of the already tied leaders D4L's 'Laffy Taffy' and Clay Aiken's 'This Is The Night'.

My votes for this week:

Best:

Coldplay - Viva La Vida

Flo Rida - Low (feat. T-Pain)

Justin Timberlake - What Goes Around... Comes Around

Nelly Furtado - Say It Right

Shakira - Hips Don't Lie (feat. Wyclef Jean)

Just missing out: 'Promiscuous', 'Umbrella', 'So What', 'Ridin'', 'Irreplaceable', 'Crank That (Soulja Boy)' (I wanted to fit that in as I assume it's unlikely anyone else will but I can't bring myself to sacrifice any of the 5 above x)

Worst:

Kanye West - Stronger

Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl

Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls

I feel like I can be more vociferous in my dislike of 'Stronger' given what Kanye has become personally, but I never liked it anyway x (though it is the best of the 3 songs here, the other 2 are absolute stinkers)
