Life Got Cold
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/9a/Lifegotcold1.jpg/200px-Lifegotcold1.jpg
Coming in at no.16 we have the touching ballad and 3rd GA single, LGC. A song written by Oasis band member, Noel Gallaghar. Ironically LGC has been labelled a demo and sometimes female version of Oasis signature song 'Wonderwall'. At the time, LGC was huge for a 3rd single, peaking at #3 in the charts and broadening its fanbase to more sensitive types of people. Turns out nobody top three'd the song here on Buzzjack but instead was bottom three'd by 5 of our members giving it a total of a mere 200 Points.

Long Hot Summer

In at 15, we have Herbie-soundtrack and Chemistry 1st single, LHS. A song which quickly gained flop status by GA standards, peaking at just 7 and ending off on somewhat low sales. The song has been described as the perfect summer beat, a beat which critics felt lacked excitement and variety in the song. However, LHS does have a fan base and certainly isn't one of their worst singles according to Buzzjack, but is in fact labelled "under rated" by many of our members. Yet with every positive comes a negative and LHS was bottom three'd by 6 of our member, totalling it on a disappointing 211 Points

Can't Speak French
http://www.girlsalouddiscography.co.uk/CSFIntroCover.jpg
Nearing the 300s we have the 21week chart sitting Can't Speak French, a song thats had a bit of mixed bag with critics and on Buzzjack. Despite all its criticism, its ended up to be one of GA's best sellers even with just a peak of 9. The chorus is mostly misunderstood and the song overlooked, where lovers of the 3rd Tangled Up single have boasted it as 'pure genius', 'sensationaly groovy' and 'completely catchy'. It's scored top 3's with 3 of our members here, and not a single bottom three. Despite this it still finds itself on the deep end with a total of 290 Points.

Stuck in the middle, is the mixed reviewed NGA. A song praised by critics, as one of the songs of 2003 and a flawless follow up and 2nd single by GA. The chic song hasn't enjoyed the totally same reception on Buzzjack having been bottom three'd by 2 of its members. On a positive note the #2 selling single has been top three'd by 4 of our members, giving it a decent total of 296 Points.

Nearing the halfway mark, is the highest ranked of the GA single-covers, Jump. A song hated by critics but obviously not quite the same on Buzzjack, being top three'd by 3 of our members. Despite being labelled a mess-up of the original, the bassy song made waves not just in the UK where it peaked at 2 and sold over 200k to-date but also on global charts. Scoring itself 2 bottom three's by our members and a total of 302 Points

Jump should have been alot lower. and Whole Lotta History shoulda been a alot higher!

No Good Advice - how is it not top 5? See The Day, Jump & Whole Lotta History all too low aswell.

 

Long Hot Summer should be much lower and Walk This Way should have come last. It would have been nice to have seen The Show droped out by now aswell.

No major hiccups so far, but would probably have preferred to see 'Can't Speak French' closer to the Top 10.

Wake Me Up
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/0f/WakeMeUpCoverCD2.jpg/200px-WakeMeUpCoverCD2.jpg
Missing out on a top 10 ranking by only 2 points, is 8th GA single, WMU. The feisty song gave GA an 8th consecutive top 5, peaking at 4. It seems the quality and song itself has quickly been forgotten or is just maybe average in the eyes of Buzzjack, it scored just 2 top threes by our members and no bottom threes giving it a total of 304 Points

Love Machine
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/2e/LoveMachineCD2Cover.jpg/200px-LoveMachineCD2Cover.jpg
And scraping into the top 10 by just 4 points is yet another one of GA's unlucky no.2's, this one spending 2 consecutive weeks at no.2. Ahh, life is cruel. Anywayz the cheesy but catchy song was praised by fans and critics alike, calling it classy and original. It gave GA the edge, which other songs on the charts lacked. The points came out truly bizzare but the consistancy of how in-the-middle it was in many of the lists brought it to a total of 308 Points

Sound Of The Underground
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/52/Soundoftheunderground1.jpg/200px-Soundoftheunderground1.jpg
Filling the no.9 spot is the 1st and best selling GA single, labelled perfection by all of its critics and after spending 4 weeks at no.1, one would think this should be the most popular GA single - well for us here, it isn't. It managed 1 bottom three and 4 top three's giving it a total of 316 Points

The Show
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/80/THESHOW.jpg/200px-THESHOW.jpg
Arriving in at no.8 we have 5th GA single, and yes, another one which suffered from the #2-peak-curse. A song worshipped by critics, raving it as the best pop song at the time, they described the sassy attitude, top class production, catchy synths and positively rude lyrics are what made it perfect. The Show scored 3 top three's and 2 shocking bottom three's giving it a total of 322 Points

The Show is hideously overated but the other three finished in the correct posistions.

Never expected The Show to be higher than SOTU and The Promise at Top 7. :o

The Loving Kind
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4c/The_Loving_Kind.jpg/200px-The_Loving_Kind.jpg
Power pop ballad, TLK comes in at no.7. The girls's lowest peaking single only received praise from its critics, and even was said to be one of their best yet. With no bottom threes and 5 top three's, TLK was brought to a total of 351 Points

6
The Promise
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/36/The_Promise.jpg/200px-The_Promise.jpg
Filling the no.6 spot we have #1 selling single, TP. A song raved as classy, pop at its best and classic GA. Their longest running single managed 2 bottom threes and 5 top threes giving it a total of 354 Points

5
Untouchable
Creeping into the top 5, is the latest GA offering. Originally 6 and half minutes long the song received a bit of revamping for its released, reviews so far are extremely favourable and the song which is likely to become a great success scored 1 bottom three, 8 top threes and 375 Points

Sexy! No No No
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/af/SexyNoNoNo2track.jpg/200px-SexyNoNoNo2track.jpg
The synthy sass of SNNN places it all the way at no.4, the 1st single from Tangled Up had disappointing success saleswise but managed to win over the hearts of the fans, the song was a complete u-turn in the sound of GA and has been voted to be their best music video to-date. All in all, 2 bottom threes and 7 top threes gave it a total of 380 Points
