Yep, echoing the comments for Calum too, your hard work is not going unnoticed!

Voted!

Thank you Sergej!

Sure there's a chance that Sabrina could debut at #1 but it seems to be quite a rare feat to achieve lately, so it will all come down to the quality of the song. Hopefully it's a banger. EDIT: Just read that she's also releasing vinyls which will definitely help the cause!

I'm not really feeling it from that clip but I'll reserve judgment until I hear it in full.

Be my guest, that's not the song I sent 😆

I think we'd literally just be voting between Ruby and two different songs called Diamonds and that's it 🤣

^ Yeah exactly, and I had to draw the line somewhere! The list of "gold" and "silver" number ones really isn't extensive at all, it would have only added three songs: 'Silence Is Golden' by The Tremeloes (which would have been a bit contentious anyway), Freda Payne's 'Band Of Gold' and 'Silver Lady' by David Soul. Personally I wouldn't have voted for any of those (though I do quite like the Freda song).

One of these exact songs I tried to enter but it had already been taken! And another one of the songs was my next backup! So those two songs will probably score very highly from me 🙂

Completely new era?

MJ now lagging behind in 7th place, looks like it's going to be between All Saints, Chappell, Nena & Eiffel 65!

I couldn't make the Synctube as I play football on a Monday night. Give me the songs!

Tbh you could aim that comment at quite a few people in this round let's hope you pick a better Elton song if you're lucky enough to make it through to the next round!

I have to be honest I thought Tate would slowly fade away following 'Greedy' and 'Exes' and that whole era, but she's been consistently proving me wrong. It's quite impressive that she's had three singles debut top 10 since then, and is looking to do so again!

I flit between Creep and The Drugs Don't Work as my all-time favourite song, so either 33 or 28 years old.

#50 in Monday's mids, wonder if it can go top 40?

I do like 'I'm Good' a lot but surely you can't consider it superior to the original classique?!

MJ vs Chappell atm! I didn't vote for Chappell because it's too recent for me to pit it against timeless classics.

I think this is the closest anyone has come to answering this! I've also long wondered why Sweden has so many successful musical artists (let's replace the word "good" with "successful" to make the discussion objective rather than subjective, as it's pretty undeniable that Sweden has produced more internationally successful acts compared to other similarly-sized countries). I think pop music must be more in their culture compared to other countries but I'd love to know if anyone has any better theories. Also, Swedish acts being successful was the case long before Max Martin came on the scene, as evident from many of the acts mentioned (can we also include poor forgotten Neneh Cherry in the list?)

Pun only slightly intended but I can't decide if I like this or not 🫤

The instrumental is great but I agree with Lewis that the vocal is a bit jarring.

Post-album singles often go completely unnoticed these days so it makes total sense to me to release more pre-album tracks.

Suggested to me by @awardinary a while ago after 'Pink Pony Club' hit #1, let's see what Buzzjack's favourite is of all number ones which contain a colour* in the title. I've left the poll open for a week, after which one lucky song will be crowned the winner! *Disclaimer: before anyone comes at me for missing their fave, I didn't include gold or silver or more obscure shades of colour, and I didn't include a song with the word "blues" in the title, as it doesn't directly pertain to the colour blue.

Sup Jordan! 1 - It really is! And now clocks up a 5th week at the top! I wish it had a chance of being #1 officially too but it doesn't look like it will happen. 13 - I think I agree with you, both songs are solid. And from the clip I've heard of 'Sapphire', that sounds like it will be three for three 14 - No, sadly it's going completely under the radar, I haven't heard it played anywhere 😥 15 - Yes, that actually surprised me too! 19 - That is surprising for you, although I have to concede it's nowhere near the quality of 'I Had Some Help'. 38 - I really want to like this Calvin song but it just isn't doing anything for me, no matter how many times I hear it, which is a shame. Thanks 🙂
