Will probably run some of these weekly picking out a certain year for a bit to see how it goes lol.

Starting off I'm gonna turn back the time to this week in 2010 and this was the full top 10 for it.

1. Flo Rida Ft David Guetta- Club Can't Handle Me

2. Eminem Ft Rihanna - Love The Way You Lie

3. The Saturdays - Missing You

4. Yolanda Be Cool vs D Cup - We Speak No Americiano

5. Ne-Yo - Beautiful Monster

6. Travis McCoy Ft Bruno Mars - Billionaire

7. B.o.b. Ft Hayley Williams - Airplanes

8. The Wanted - All Time Low

9. Eliza Doolittle - Pack Up

10. Tinchy Stryder - In My System

New Entries / Re-entries

19. Ellie Goulding - The Writer (new to top 40, up from 45 week before)

31. Devlin - Brainwashed

Which ones are your faves and are there any you liked or didn't like that have changed around in your opinion now in 2025? Rankings are welcome!

The production of Club Can't Handle Me is quite poppy by Guetta's standard at the time - its female vocal in the chorus is nostalgic though!

Who would think Ne-Yo's producers Stargate would have got inspiration from Josh Wink's 90s anthem Higher State of Consciousness but it sounds like they did! Good tune!

Saturday's Missing You is a very nice song! The Wanted's All Time Low is great the emotive anthemic dance second half of the song is almost preceeding the Swedish House Mafia - Save The World/Don't You Worry Child style.

Times were very different back then. I quite liked Pack Up at the time for being quirky and different, but it wore off after a while. Some songs here I haven't listened to in over a decade! 🙃

Hate 'Club Can't Handle Me', and 'Missing You' is one of The Saturdays' worst (thankfully 'Higher' was a massive improvement)

I remember this week very well though, I was about to move to London for a new job - had everything packed on that Sunday and then decided against it

They were all tunes at that time (and some, for their time).

Guetta at his prime years 2009-2012 IMO. 'Club Can't Handle Me' is one of his highlights!

Always had a liking for 'Missing You' even if it wasn't exactly The Saturdays' best received track.

'Beautiful Monster' deserves some more recognition. Still boppin'.

'All Time Low'... the beginning of one of my all time high boy groups in the 21st century, The Wanted!

I quite liked 'Missing You' as well and was hoping it would hold on to #1 that week. The video was very nice. Can see why it's not one others are too keen on though.

Flo Rida's is fine and compared to what he would churn up later is an improvement on those (minus 'Good Feeling').

'All Time Low' is a solid debut for The Wanted as well. I perhaps should have posted this week a couple of weeks ago as by pure coincidence when they were sitting on top.. the band All Time Low were new in at 100 😯

Also quite liked 'Pack Up' back then too but now not quite as much and 'Love The Way You Lie' definitely deserved to be at 1 during that period but it made up for it being the best seller of the year.

Nice idea! My thoughts on these songs:

1. Flo Rida Ft David Guetta- Club Can't Handle Me - dreadful, this was one of the worst of this era - where them girls at was miles better

2. Eminem Ft Rihanna - Love The Way You Lie - also never liked this one, very ploddy and overrated

3. The Saturdays - Missing You - make that 3/3 so far, this is one of their limpest effort buts the music video was at least good

4. Yolanda Be Cool vs D Cup - We Speak No Americiano - basically a meme song now but don't mind it when i hear it

5. Ne-Yo - Beautiful Monster - now this is an absolute gem, in fact i loved all of his #1s except for closer

6. Travis McCoy Ft Bruno Mars - Billionaire - j'adore! this gives such amazing nostalgia vibes nowadays

7. B.o.b. Ft Hayley Williams - Airplanes - fantastic track, definitely the pinnacle of the rap verse sung chorus fad

8. The Wanted - All Time Low - loved this at the time and still do now, they were more consistent than both 1D & JLS with their singles too

9. Eliza Doolittle - Pack Up - another absolute fave from the time, even better than skinny genes which was also strong

10. Tinchy Stryder - In My System - meh, like some of his stuff but never go back to this one

19. Ellie Goulding - The Writer - this was a highlight of mine from her album, was glad when it finally made the top 40

31. Devlin - Brainwashed - no idea how this goes nor am I rushing to listen to it

Still gutted they've never released a song called The Wanted. All I Ever Wanted is the closest they came!

This was a few months into the 'club banger' era where so many songs were 'dance act x' or 'rapper x' feat 'singer x' or 'rapper x', with a song about the club, and often referencing capital cities.

I was gearing up for a move to Wales for a journalism course the following month so was just tieing up some loose ends at my family home, and it was also my last ever month working in the retail job I'd had for the prior seven years, so was a memorable period.

Ah yes, now I remember what I spent my free time in this specific week doing...producing this mash-up of the Flo Rida song with the 90s Grange Hill theme (with help from former Buzzjack poster Hitstastic). I was particularly pleased with how well the middle eight rap fit together. The original song is a bit throwaway, and I initially thought it was Nicole Scherzinger on the female vocal! I do still hear it on the radio from time to time though.

My other favourites in the top ten were Missing You, We No Speak Americano and Pack Up. Missing You I really thought would be the first No.1 for The Saturdays - and so did they; I don't think it was the first time they were thwarted by Flo Rida though, oops. I think it's a really nice production from them.

We No Speak Americano was very infectious dance, and an intriguing one to get to No.1 here. And Pack Up was a charming use of a very old sample.

Not too excited by the rest of the top ten but I do still listen to Airplanes, that was a nice guest vocal from Hayley and a good rap from B.o.B. I bought his album based on the strength of the singles.

I liked the clipped string intro of All Time Low by The Wanted but didn't find the rest of the song that thrilling.

Indeed I don't think it was!^ which was why it was funny when actually collabed yet that track only scraped the top 10! (Despite being better than most of their bigger hits)

As for myself I was just over a month away from going to Uni so was working at Argos most days to save up and of course enjoying the odd night out having recently turned 18.

Oh yeah 'The Writer is lovely as well. The first Ellie track I really liked a lot.
