How many times do I have to vote for U2?

Round 1: Year End Survivor #120
Goldtrix, because I don't remember it. I'm sure Hear'say will go first, but it's not deserved

I'm quite surprised that a song that was No.1 for 12 weeks gets so little attention on a music forum. We should talk about Ordinary, peeps... 😁

Top 100 Best Selling Singles Acts Of The 80s
Ultravox being the best here. Hymn, Loves Great Adventure, Dancing With Tears... And "that piano song"???? Few years ago a mate was talking about a programme he watched which had "that piano song" in it. When I questioned further he said. "You know.(Sings) Ohhhhhh. PIANO!" He had no idea it was called Vienna.

90s Top 10 Sales- Week by Week- 1998
I forgot what Bamboogie was, so I had a listen. It's okay, but I can see why I forgot it. Renegade Master is a cracking tune.

Isn't that what happens now when people listen to playlists on streaming? They're just playlists put together by people at Spotify or whatever. Not necessarily what people CHOOSE to listen to. So there is an argument for airplay there!?

On This Day...
As a previously huge Kylie fan, who watched it all fall away and I started to lose interest, it was a massive surprise to see Spinning Around and Light Years do so well. But it was great to have her back!!

Yes, Old Phone was No.1 for a week. The Big Top 40 FAQs state the chart is based on iTunes sales and Apple streaming, but Wikipedia throws in airplay from the stations that broadcast the chart... So who knows? At times it's not a bad chart to listen to, as some songs make it which are nowhere to be seen on the official charts, but at other times you have A Bar Song still Top 20 and four songs by Teddy Swims in the Top 40.

Although I prefer the Official Charts, the Big Top 40 has had better #1s, in my opinion

Over on the Big Top 40, Ordinary has NEVER been No.1, stalling at No.2 so far. But there has been three Ed Sheeran No.1s in the meantime (amongst others) Which would you choose?

Kylie Singles Clash- 2 Oldies but Goodies
Pretty certain she did Locomotion on TOTP, which was before JNSPP.

JADE - Plastic Box • 4th Single
I'm old school... Anything that makes the Top 40 is a hit to me.

I'm going to pick on Kylie here (as a massive fan)... After Padam went a bit viral, I think My Oh My was supposed to. The lyrics leant to people creating their own "Hi... I'm Kylie... I'm Gemini" whilst inserting their own name and star sign. Then Lights Camera Action seemed custom made for some catwalk style vids. All my own thoughts, but it felt that way to me.

JADE - Plastic Box • 4th Single
If we're really fair about Jade's chart successes... She has only released 3 actual proper singles. Angel smashed Fantasy flopped FUFN went Top 30 and spent 5 weeks Top 100. Plastic Box is only her fourth single as IT Girl and Midnight Cowboy were promo singles. So she's had 2 hits out of 3. That's not bad.

Top 100 Best Selling Singles Acts Of The 80s
Three good acts there, but my favourite of them is Tears for Fears. Tracks like Mother's Talk and Mad World stand out. Best Prince is 1999 Best Elton is I'm Still Standing (or I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues)

Friday Chart Predictions
Twenty One Pilots only dropping 4 places since Monday. Fingers crossed this means they will get their fourth UK Top 40 this Friday 🤞😁

Not sure if you meant this, but the way your post sounds right now is pretty offensive.

Song Covers SoundClash #73
I went for Pete Tong. It just sounded more interesting.

JADE - Plastic Box • 4th Single
A threat to what? Jade getting #1 on NMF? Jade going to No.1? (not going to happen) Jade going Top 20? Jade going Top 40? I don't think another female singer releasing a single on the same day as Jade is going to be any real threat at all?

Indie/Rock/Alt Track of the Week 2025: Week 24
Looking good for Tyler and Josh here. The taste 😀

Pop Track of the Week 2025: Week 24
I went for Calum Hood (though Blusher were not far behind). Manchild for the tie-breaker

Veronica Electronica • Remix Album
To be honest, I listened to the Skin remix that has been released and it didn't grab me. Certainly not in a way that I will shell out for a physical vinyl that I have no device to play on. I suspect I'll stream it on a car journey one day, but I'm not really that bothered by this. 🤥 Soz.

Kylie Singles Clash- 2 Oldies but Goodies
GTBC for me. I actually really like the song. Probably the best single from her debut.
