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.

Paparazzi I'm Not Alone

Would happily have exchanged the first two in this top 10 for virtually anything between 11-20!

Calvin Harris - I'm Not Alone Lady Gaga - Paparazzi

A. R. Rahman featuring Pussycat Dolls & Nicole Scherzinger - Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny) Beyonce - Halo Lady Gaga - Paparazzi Lily Allen - The Fear

Paradise and Hello too low!

Lady Gaga - Poker Face David Guetta featuring Kelly Rowland - When Love Takes Over Lady Gaga - Paparazzi Lily Allen - The Fear Calvin Harris - I'm Not Alone La Roux - Bulletproof Beyonce - Halo Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror

Coming to this a long way into proceedings so apologies if repeating but the first artist that came to mind when I saw this is Bloc Party - The Prayer #4 So Here We Are #5 Both ahead of Flux and Banquet The earlier mention of White Stripes is a really good shout too.

Fireflies and Sign Of The Times two of my faves. Thought Harry might get a bit higher, though I know I'm in the minority thinking this is the best song he's ever done.

Veronicas - Untouched Saturdays - Just Can't Get Enough Lady Gaga featuring Colby O'Donis - Just Dance Cheryl - Fight For This Love Journey - Don’t Stop Believin' La Roux - In For The Kill Michael Buble - Haven't Met You Yet Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name (probably my 2 faves in the rate!)

Viva La Vida Human

Really enjoyed this thread. Superbly strong top 15 in the final rate. Thanks also for posting the earlier round votes under the different voting system - I'd been wondering how different they'd be (less than I expected, it turns out)

Just realised that if I'd been voting from Round 1 of this rate, Sex On Fire would have been knocked out long ago!

Viva La Vida Sex On Fire

Arghhhh this is my favourite quiz format of all but wasn't able to be online for the last few days and just seen I've missed the chance to play!

With Every Heartbeat Without You Now

With Every Heartbeat - Robyn with Kleerup Umbrella - Rihanna featuring Jay-Z

Are You With Me? and Wild Thoughts finished equal in this rate but very much at opposite ends of the spectrum in my personal rate 😂

With Every Heartbeat - Robyn with Kleerup Umbrella - Rihanna featuring Jay-Z Grace Kelly - Mika Rehab - Amy Winehouse

Foundations - Kate Nash Umbrella - Rihanna featuring Jay-Z Grace Kelly - Mika Here (In Your Arms) - Hellogoodbye Rule The World - Take That About You Now - Sugababes Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs With Every Heartbeat - Robyn with Kleerup

Always loved this song, albeit not quite as much as Children. It seemed to get widespread support in the earlier rounds so a bit surprised it's not made the top 20
