  1. qBSg4_WStsU 15. Red Blooded Woman 14. Get Outta My Way 13. Got To Be Certain 12. Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi 11. Some Kind Of Bliss Starting at #15 with the songs that just fall short of the top 10 is Red Blooded Woman, for a long time this was far and above my favourite song from the Body Language era, though more recently Slow and Chocolate have closed the gap on it. I have liked it from the moment I heard in in early 2004 though. Get Outta My Way was a slow burn for me, I remember hearing it here and there around 2010/2011 but failed to take much notice of it which is a shame as I love it now and almost put it in my top 10. I'm also surprised at how poorly this did on the charts, is there any reason why? The next two, both singles from Kylie's debut album crept up on me massively as I went through Kylie's PWL era singles I was a little familiar with Got To Be Certain but had never heard Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi until this year. I love them both and I think are a reflection of my fondness for the PWL era music. (I'm a massive Steps fan). And rounding things out at #11 just missing out is Some Kind Of Bliss, released as the lead from Impossible Princess in 1997. I don't have to many memories of this other than seeing brief glimpses of it in the television ads for Impossible Princess, the car and brief bit of the chorus really stuck with me though as I remember always being keen to track it down in the late 90's.
  2. #15 to #11 on the way shortly, which will bring me to my top 10!

    That prank on Vera did seem overly cruel.
  4. Would be great if this can stay top 20 now.
  5. Manic Street Preachers Ft Nina Persson - Your Love Alone Is Not Enough
  6. I presume she’ll get a bit of promo in Australia for this next week. She’s performing at the AFL Grand Final and whilst she’ll probably only perform one from the album it may still give it a boost for its second week.
  7. I thought they were. With Midnight Cowboy getting pushed back a week could we be getting one final remix Friday?
  8. I would've thought Umbrella would've gone close to winning. I'm guessing people are sick of it winning? Or even the logical answer is it's simply people's least favourite here.
  9. Favourite: Only In My Dreams (Though I know I'm on my own here) Least: Hard 2 Forget
  10. I love your commentaries alongside mine! Thank you for contributing this way. :wub: I think I felt that way for a while, but I've come back to it now.

  13. Omrp4QR_Rpo 20. Step Back In Time 19. Finer Feelings 18. Love At First Sight 17. Slow 16. On A Night Like This Leading off my top 20 is Step Back In Time which was released in October 1990 and peaked at #5 in Australia and #4 in the UK. This was another one that I was vaguely familiar with before the start of this year, being 2 when this was released I have no memory of it during it's chart run but I do have the odd recollection of hearing it here and there over the years. It's one I really enjoy now. Finer Feelings was another surprise for me as I can't really recall it from my album listen through at the start of the year (perhaps I should go back and check what I wrote), but I really like it. It was close to the top 10 for me initially but dropped as I myranking took shape. Love At First Sight is one I go through phases with, I like it, then love it, then get bored of it. I think I've reached that point now were I think it's a very strong solid pop song. Of all the songs in my ranking I think Slow was the biggest surprise for me, a surprise for how much it grew on me. If you'd have asked me twelve months or even 2 months ago where I'd expect it to place I'd say it'd be luck to crack my top 40. I use to have it on the same level as Can't Get You Out Of My Head, but unlike that one Slow really connected with me on my many recent listens. (I also found it interesting that the video concept for Slow was intended for Rachel Steven's debut solo single Sweet Dreams My LA Ex, as mentioned in her autobiography) (sorry if any spoilers). Finally just missing the top 15 is Light Years second single On A Night Like This. This was actually the very first and if I recall on physical Kylie Minogue single I ever purchased. I can still remember buying it at the shops.
  14. #20-#16 up shortly. Before kicking off the top 20 though here are the 20 remaining songs in alphabetical order. Any predictions on what #1 will be? Or what might miss the top 10? Better The Devil You Know Breathe Confide In Me Did It Again Finer Feelings Get Outta My Way Got To Be Certain I Should Be So Lucky In Your Eyes Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi Love At First Sight Never Too Late On A Night Like This Put Yourself In My Place Red Blooded Woman Slow Some Kind Of Bliss Spinning Around Step Back In Time What Do I Have To Do?
  15. Am I allowed to ask what those songs are? :lol: I have a feeling I know one of them.
  16. It’s between two songs for the best for me and two for the worst.
  17. I agree Lay Me Down deserved better.
  18. Boo, I love Every Little Thing. One of my favourites from the album.
  19. Great to see it finally reach top 40.
