I first discovered this on Glee when the character Quinn was, of course, deciding whether to keep her baby Wow 40 years, such bold subject matter indeed and I really enjoy the strings in the production too.

'Break Free' was released 12 years ago today! 🚀 happy birthday to one of her biggest pride anthems

It is - ‘You Won’t Forget About Me’ had a 6.97 average!

17 Dannii Minogue & The Soul Seekerz - Perfection avg: 5.91 👑 Pop Royalty: 10 (Josh!), 9 (gooddelta, ElectroBoy) ❌ Pop Flop: 1 (Henessy Lake), 2 (jimwatts) Dannii Minogue and The Soul Seekerz were searching for perfection but ultimately had to settle for a 5.91 average. Minogue began her transition to dance label All Around The World with the single 'You Won't Forget About Me', as featured in the Pop Princesses 2 rate. Her next move was following it up almost an entire year later, towards the end of 2005, with a new single named 'Perfection'. The origins of this song are similar to 'You Won't Forget About Me' as it began its life as an instrumental track. Soul Seekerz member Simon Langford was inspired to sample 'Turn The Beat Around' by Vicki Sue Robinson after watching the end credits of The Specialist, which features the Gloria Estefan version. He phoned songwriting partner and fellow Soul Seeker Julian Napolitano about his idea and Napolitano went ahead and completed a large chunk of the instrumental. Gerald and Peter Jackson, the writers behind 'Turn The Beat Around', have songwriting credits on 'Perfection' due to the use of the sample. Dannii's label All Around The World approached the Soul Seekerz as they wanted to use their instrumental as part of a track for Minogue. They agreed, so the next job was to put pen to paper and create some lyrics for what would become her new single 'Perfection'. Minogue worked alongside Rob Davis and Therese Grankvist on the lyrics. Davis was a founding member of the glam rock group Mud and already had some Minogue kudos, as a writer and producer for Kylie's 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head'. He was also part of the writing team for other notable early 2000s dance chart-toppers 'Toca's Miracle' by Fragma and Spiller's 'Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)', featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Grankvist is best known as the vocalist on StoneBridge's floorfillers 'Put 'Em High' and 'Take Me Away', under the mononymous Therese. All components were now complete and a video, directed by Rob Kaplan, was shot. Minogue can be seen dancing on a yacht and rocky cliff top throughout. Dannii had experienced a neat little run of top 10 hits, with five in a row from 'Who Do You Love Now?' to 'You Won't Forget About Me', however 'Perfection' brought this to an end when she stalled at #11 on the U.K. Singles chart. It was her 13th top 20 single here. Minogue was the third highest new entry on the chart this week - behind Arctic Monkeys debuting at #1 with 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' and McFly making #3 with 'I Wanna Hold You'. Josh! found 'Perfection' to be as flawless as its name, awarding it 10/10. However, I'm sure Henessy Lake could happily give this up, as a score of 1 was its lowest.

Spotify has updated and I see Charli xcx’s ’Wink Wink’ is back in today (#149) after initially dropping out post-Day 1 streams!

This is track #3 on the latest Now album. I think I count 26 appearances for her now from 'Problem' onwards? Oh Ari the hit-maker you are

Funnily enough Now 67 is the last time both Chemical Brothers and Paul McCartney appeared in the series! 'Do It Again' and 'Dance Tonight' respectively. A particularly nostalgic volume for me as I got it for my birthday that summer along with my first iPod *.*

I wouldn't classify myself as much of a K-Pop fan but 'La Di Da' has held up really well for me as a post-contest grower! I think its synth-pop elements and infectious, rapid pace have kept me coming back. I can see why it was a landmark moment for the genre in the contest. The beautiful 'Wetlands' was my 18 so I was delighted that won 130, definitely ended the year on a high

Yes well done John for the double 39! 🥳 today's game: Round 1: 33 (didn't get: Jesus Jones) Round 2: 39 3-in-10: 3 (Sometimes, Blue Savannah, A Little Respect)

Love that Nero managed to achieve a chart-topper! I remember being obsessed with 'Me & You' during early 2011; its instrumental was often used as a soundbed. 'Guilt' has actually emerged as my long-term favourite of theirs though and I rewarded it greatly in the recent #8 singles rate in the chart forum. 'Promises' doesn't have as striking an identity as those other two for me, but it's still another good example of its genre. 'Heart Skips A Beat' has held up as one of Olly's best songs for me! I particularly love the instrumental but the lyrics feel well-suited to him too and I can't help but stan "vibes keep going up and down like a see-saw, should've just taken her to the cinema to see Saw" from Rizzle Kicks' part they were replaced with Chiddy Bang for a U.S. push which was vastly inferior. Preston from the Ordinary Boys was one of the songwriters on 'Heart Skips a Beat' and I remember his band recently bringing out a Christmas song with Olly, so that's nice they kept up that musical connection almost 15 years later. Some of the lyrics of 'No Regrets' feel very of their time (a Pippa Middleton reference following the Royal Wedding) or have just aged like milk ("I'm a changed man now, Chris Brown" who is still generating terrible headlines...) but overall, it's okay. I admire them throwing everything at the wall with that key change!
