Excellent at the time, just as good now. A great surprise number 1 and the best BGT winner imo. I’d have this MUCH higher.

Not much there for me, saves me a massive queue this year.

Hallelujah is one of the few winners singles I actually like. Having said that it is cynically formulaic so I can see why you put it where you did. I’d have it few spots higher, but I can see why it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

You’re right, those weeks have never been added on.

Tender is the best new entry here, I never knew it was such a big seller in the first week and that Whitney wasn’t far behind! The Vengabus is cracking -,by far the best Vengaboys track and a pop classic. Also much love for the Cardigans.

I could quite imagine the Vengabus as a slow ballad like Tender.

Thanks for the points for Stacks! I struggled with this one as Wardy will attest to, so I panic entries one of my favourite old Pulp songs. I’ll be more inventive next time.

All Mine is superb so boo at losing it :(

Runaway is by far the best pic from these two too 10s - my fave Corrs song actually.

I have voted! One really great discovery.

Pulp a huge loss for me, with Cast and Mr President going too

I gave Lazy Days 5 of the other 6! As you say, really quite Britpop.

Opus III is a huge fave of mine, best song in the top 10.
