Catching up on this so far, interesting to read the thoughts when some of the songs here are discoveries.

A few of what I'd rank in my top 10 have appeared so far. I don't disagree with some of the comments about Party Rock Anthem, but it became big as I was close to finishing uni, and definitely has a nostalgia hit it wouldn't have had if released a year or two after, think it'd be a definite top 5 for me.

Also enjoy The Wanted (comfortably my favourite of theirs), Wretch 32 (to a point, preferred his other couple of big hits but good) and Example (though preferred his 2011 output) - all top half and top 10 contenders for me.

Most of the songs I'd rank towards the bottom have appeared, Swagger Jagger would comfortably be my #31 and a contender for bottom position in all years.

Oh right I've got what you mean. Was getting mixed up with being in a band going to 1 and then a achieving a solo #1 but yeah your right with Adele lol.

I should imagine she will be right at the end anyhow.

Potentially, though I’d hate to give too much away.

I remember Cher standing out among the other identikit ‘Factor’ alumni, but I couldn’t recall Swagger Jagger before listening again, which is never a good sign. The verse is actually good though and has a certain energy, but the chorus is awful, so maybe 19th will be about right for me too. I’ll wait to see what else is to come.

That Cher Lloyd song is godawful.

However, she did not deserve the hatred she got back in the day.

Swagger Jagger was absolutely dreadful. I wasn’t a big Cher Lloyd fan when she was on the show but this song turned her into a novelty act.

The military wives wherever you go , it did what it needed to but otherwise its just like every other charity single and not great

Party Rock anthem is still a bop, yes it hasn't aged very well but its still a bop and still gets the reactions intended 15 years later

I actually really enjoy Swagger Jagger , was it the right lead single probably not she definitely went on to have so much better , ( my person favourite being None of my business) but its a fun bop that worked for Cher Lloyd and I still go back to it occasionally

I’m also not a swagger jagger fan, tbh not really into Cher Lloyd as a whole however Sirens is utterly brilliant!

Swagger Jagger is terrible but in quite a way it's difficult to not admire it, it's quite unfathomable as a concept yet it's just so audacious and bizarre that I can't dislike it. She was a total one trick pony, but she was an entertaining X Factor contestant on a huge year for the show and her debut was a song suitable of her divisive style on the show.

Party Rock Anthem is an absolute time capsule and I think the ultimate example of that dance-pop banger sound that was popular in the mid to late download era, it doesn't hold up great, but it's classic brainless fun.
