Congrats Mattias I gave your entry 12 points so very happy with that as a winner. KAVARI was outside the top 10 just before I went to bed so I'm thrilled to have climbed back in there in the end, next to my favourite from Cathedral Bells at that. Thank you Brer, Addy and Harry for topping up the total of 'IRON VEINS' since I last commented! Great hosting job, Addy <3

So it was Cody behind my favourite entry ooh and 10 points in return *.* thank you <3 (+ to blacksquare, Severin + dhwe too since I last dropped in)

Pleased to be in the top 10 right now! This abrasive song and its equally striking video was so instant for me. I see it just got added to the 6Music playlist! ;o Thank you to uhsting, Dobbo, Ansel, Frank, Jim and Leww for the points so far - especially Dobbo for top marks.

Ready for a comeback after recent BJSC and Bop Idol flops x

This is going to be a loooooong week not knowing what anyone is voting for 😫 Submitted, here's hoping it was the right choice.

Phew, glad twigs was safe in the end

23 Atomic Kitten - Ladies Night avg: 5.34 👑 Pop Royalty: 10 (JosephStyles), 9 (gooddelta, lewistgreen) ❌ Pop Flop: 0 (Dobbo), 1 (blacksquare) A large portion of BuzzJackers chose to swiftly exit the Kitten Club on their roller skates so 'Ladies Night' has finished rock bottom of the first Pop Princesses rate. British girl-group Atomic Kitten - at the time comprising of Jenny Frost, Natasha Hamilton and Liz McClarnon - were approached by Kool & The Gang to cover 'Ladies Night' for a tribute album named The Hits: Reloaded, which also featured other y2k pop peers such as Blue, Liberty X and Jamelia. It served as the lead single from this project, as well as single #2 from the girls' then untitled third studio album, later named Ladies Night once they had the green light for the title track's inclusion. Lead single 'If You Come To Me' had reached #3 earlier in Q4 of 2003 and 'Ladies Night' rounded off the year with a #8 peak, out-charting the original Kool & The Gang version, which had peaked at #9 back in 1979. This U.K. chart placement was an 11th top 10 single for the girls but brought a run of 7 consecutive top 5s to an end. 'Ladies Night' would have the last laugh, as in 2021 it was revealed by the OCC that it had outsold 'If You Come To Me', thus taking the crown of top-selling Ladies Night single in the long run - plus it is their seventh biggest hit overall. I scoured the Wikipedia page of this song for any potentially fun trivia and instead the wording of "...they primarily dance in a row, with two rows of men behind them, though occasionally they are straddling the fellows" from the music video synopsis paragraph gave me a good chuckle. 'Ladies Night' is track 6 on Pop Princesses but its average fell short of this figure - with a 5.34 score, the only sub-6 result of the rate. Joseph was particularly ready to step out on this ladies night, with a generous score of 10, while Dobbo did not think the feeling was right, therefore assigning it 0.

thank you to the 28 participants who voted over the past few weeks... last place coming tonight

Switching to Stereophonics now

Well done both for the recent 39s, jumping back in today: Round 1: 36 (didn't get: Aretha Franklin) Round 2: 27 (didn't get: The Chiffons, Lynsey de Paul, Stevie Wonder) 3-in-10: 3 (Love Shack, (Meet) The Flintstones, Rock Lobster)

'Mary Boone', 'Nice to Know You' and 'Best of Both Worlds'

Thanks to everyone who has taken part so far. Final day to rate!

Submitted! Admittedly, it may be difficult to decipher the message, as the vocals are quite muffled and shoegazey - but there is one nevertheless

I was feeling quite anxious before my driving lesson so had a music video marathon of their uptempos and it indeed boosted my mood a bit 💞 ‘Biology’ choreography forever iconic

'Dilemma' is pretty nostalgic, the twinkly R&B production is very of the time and I heard it so much growing up. Excelly Rowland an eternally iconic music video moment! Similar to T Boy, 'Just Dance' didn't do much for me at the time, with 'Poker Face' instead turning me into a fan overnight. But I enjoy it more now than I did in 2009. 'Stan' is Eminem's magnum opus for me gripping, raw storytelling with a genuine cultural impact. Masterful Dido sample too of course.
