Brilliant top 2 Stereo Love Telephone

Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina - Stereo Love Owl City - Fireflies Easy picks for me, fingers crossed for these two underdogs!

Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina - Stereo Love Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce - Telephone Owl City - Fireflies Lady Gaga - Alejandro

I'm voting for completeness, but personally find this a really weak rate. Plan B - She Said Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce - Telephone Katy Perry - Firework Flo Rida featuring David Guetta - Club Can't Handle Me 3OH!3 featuring Katy Perry - Starstrukk Owl City - Fireflies Tinie Tempah - Pass Out Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina - Stereo Love

Brilliant thread thanks so much. Getting everyone to vote via DM was genius, made it exciting having no clue what would be popular.

Take That - The Flood Mike Posner - Cooler Than Me Far East Movement featuring Dev & The Cataracs - Like A G6 Tinie Tempah featuring Eric Turner - Written In The Stars Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand Owl City - Fireflies B.o.B featuring Hayley Williams - Airplanes Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina - Stereo Love Example - Kickstarts Usher featuring Pitbull - DJ Got Us Falling In Love Cee Lo Green - Forget You Alicia Keys - Empire State Of Mind (Part II) Katy Perry - Firework Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce - Telephone Plan B - She Said Of my favourites in this rate, one (The Flood) is presumably on its way out and the two others (Stereo Love and Waving Flag) are against each other!

Feels like a pretty weak year to me, not too fussed about many of these matchups... Eminem featuring Rihanna - Love The Way You Lie Shout For England featuring Dizzee Rascal & James Corden - Shout Far East Movement featuring Dev & The Cataracs - Like A G6 Alicia Keys - Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand Owl City - Fireflies B.o.B featuring Hayley Williams - Airplanes Florence & The Machine - You've Got The Love Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina - Stereo Love Kylie Minogue - All The Lovers Helping Haiti - Everybody Hurts Cee Lo Green - Forget You Alicia Keys - Empire State Of Mind (Part II) Roll Deep - Good Times Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce - Telephone Plan B - She Said Taio Cruz - Dynamite Iyaz - Replay Adele - Make You Feel My Love Flo Rida featuring David Guetta - Club Can't Handle Me Lady Gaga - Alejandro B.o.B featuring Bruno Mars - Nothin' On You Example - Kickstarts K'naan - Wavin' Flag Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed Scouting For Girls - This Ain't A Love Song Jason Derulo - In My Head 3OH!3 featuring Katy Perry - Starstrukk Sidney Samson featuring Wizard Sleeve - Riverside (Let's Go!) Timbaland featuring Katy Perry - If We Ever Meet Again Mike Posner - Cooler Than Me Take That - The Flood

We Are Young felt like one of those songs that managed to appeal to pretty much everyone. Brilliant song, glad it's done so well.
