It's SoundClash!

In this event we celebrate the one hit wonders of the 21st century so far.

In each round, two songs will go head to head to come out on top, with each credited artist only having a single UK Top 40 hit to their name. In each case, you're voting for your favourite song. The winning songs will then go into a grand collection of one hit wonders to be voted for once the opening rounds are complete.

These are the two songs going head to head this round;

Alexander Rybak – Fairytale {#10, 2009} 🇳🇴 

Alexander Rybak is a Belarusian-born Norwegian singer, songwriter and violinist who rose to international fame after winning the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest for Norway.

    Thought this could make for a good pairing! They're both fun songs that would top mostly anything in today's charts, and it was close for me, but I eventually gave in to my own logic and gave it to @H

Whilst I found it annoying initially and it still can be at times.. it's an easy vote for 'Shut Up and Dance' here. Controversial I guess but I really don't like 'Fairytale' aside from perhaps the music instrumentation oops.

Omg Fairytale by a massive amount, really dont like the overplayed song 'Shut Up and Dance'.

Both are in my all-time top 100 actually, but Shut Up and Dance is much higher, so Walk The Moon!

Now 'Anna Sun' I really liked when it was Radio 1 playlisted but I never warmed to 'Shut Up And Dance' - just screams forced fun to me!

Shut Up And Dance! Quite considerably far ahead for me!

However, they didn’t deserve to be one hit wonders! ‘One Foot’ in particular deserved to SMASHHHHH!

there are so many Walk The Moon songs I love, some of which I sent to Pop Factor!

Other than Shut Up & Dance I would always recommend:

Tightrope

Jenny

Iscariot (one of their only ballads)

I Can Lift A Car

Different Colours

Work This Body

One Foot

Surrender (gorgeous song that was used during Love Simon promo)

Tiger Teeth
