Sophie Ellis-Bextor: Singles Rate (2026) Results
There'll be centuries for other lovers, but not for us #40. Circles (Just My Good Time) (ft Busface) - 6.466 Highest Scores: 8: (gooddelta, Viper, AllStarBySmashMouth), Lowest Scores: 5/5.5: (Nina West, Scene, JosephStyles, Jade, HarryGarfield, dandy) Kicking off the top 40 is a collaboration effort between Sophie Ellis Bextor & Australian production duo Busface. Released in March 2005 and underperformed on the major charts by peaking at #96 on the UK singles chart and at #63 on the Australian chart. Sophie is credited here as Mademoiselle E.B. on all releases of the single. This is a breezy little dance pop number with Sophie lending her vocals to yet another dance track, but the results here are less than memorable than some of her other collaborations. #39. Death of Love - 6.6 Highest Scores: 7/7.5: (gooddelta, Josh!, Jessie Where, Viper, ....readyforit, AllStarBySmashMouth, Liam.k, dandy), Lowest Scores: 5/5.5: (HarryGarfield, Jester) At #39 is 'Death of Love', released in April 2017 as the 4th and final single from her 6th studio album 'Familia'. The accompanying video was shot in San Sebastián del Oeste, Mexico, and released earlier the same month. A sophisticated synth laden ballad with a strong beat and Sophie's elegant vocals really adds to the atmosphere of the track. A stunning little number, but perhaps not quite as memorable as the album's previous singles, but still good though. #38. Love Is You - 6.625 Highest Scores: 8/8.5: (gooddelta, Mango, Jessie Where, dandy), Lowest Scores: 4: (Scene) At #38 is a full circle moment for Sophie Ellis Bextor with her cover of the 1977 Carol Williams disco song 'Love Is You' which was also used as a sample on her collaboration with Spiller back in the year 2000 which was her debut hit. This version was released in August 2018 as the lead single from her first compilation album 'The Song Diaries'. This is a cute little number that serves as a nod to her breakout hit 'Grovvejet (If This Ain't Love') and Sophie does it justice and keeps the disco flavour while updating and refining it for the modern era. #37. Taste - 6.687 Highest Scores: 8: (Josh), Lowest Scores: 5: (Nina West, Jessie Where, dandy, Jester) Rounding off this bunch is 'Taste', released in May 2025 as the 4th single from her 8th studio album 'Perimenpop' and was written by MNEK, Jon Shave and Sophie herself. This is an okay song but not as strong as some of the other singles from the album, due to its undercooked chorus, despite the confident lyrics, it doesn't quite pop in the way that it should.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor: Singles Rate (2026) Results
A glass of champagne in a candy rain theaudience - I Got The Wherewithal (Official Music Video) - YouTube 45. I Got The Werewithal (theaudience) - 5.821 Highest Scores: 8: (Jade), Lowest Scores: 4: (Viper) The first of 3 'theaudience' singles to drop here and at the bottom of the list is their debut 'I Got The Werewithal', released in October 1997 and peaked at a mere #170 on the UK singles chart. A cute little 90's Indie pop track with sharp witty lyrics and dramatic production that showcases the band's post britpop style effectively. Perhaps it doesn't quite stand out enough when compared to her solo stuff,, but an okay little starting point. 44. f*** With You (ft Bob Sinclair & Gilbere Forte) - 6.1 Highest Scores: 9: (Paddington James), Lowest Scores: 4/4.5: (Nina West, HarryGarfield, dandy, Jester) At #44 is one of Sophie's non-album collaboration efforts. 'f*** With You' released in April 2012 as the 5th single from Bob Sinclair's sixth studio album 'Disco Crash' & made minor impact on the charts worldwide by peaking at #35 in Belgium (Flanders), #144 in France & #76 in Russia. This is a typical and formulaic dance pop disco affair and Sophie does bring her usual classy charm to an otherwise forgettable number. 43. I Know Enough (I Don't Get Enough) (theaudience) - 6.357 Highest Scores: 8/8.5: (Jade, AllStarBySmashMouth), Lowest Scores: 5: (Nina West, HarryGarfield, dandy, Jester) At #43 is the fourth and final single from Sophie's britpop band 'theaudience' with 'I Know Enough (I Don't Get Enough)', released in July 1998 and featured on their self-titled and only debut album and peaked at #25 on the UK singles chart, making this their highest charting single. High energy and quite catchy little indie rock number and one of their better releases. 42. The Deer & The Wolf - 6.406 Highest Scores: 8.5: (Scene), Lowest Scores: 4.5: (Jester) At #42 is 'The Deer & The Wolf' released in August 2014 as the fourth and final single from Sophie's 5th studio album 'Wanderlust'. It was co-written by Ed Harcourt and Sophie herself with production handled by the former. The song was remixed under the name of 'The Deer & The Wolf (Role Reversal)' for the 'Wandermix' edition of the album. This is a solid little bop from Sophie's 5th album that saw her return to her indie pop roots with its quirky and twinkly pop rock sound and upbeat energy. 41. If You Can't Do It When You're Young (theaudience) - 6.428 Highest Scores: 8/8.5: (gooddelta, Scene, Jade, AllStarBySmashMouth, Jester), Lowest Scores: 4: (Josh!, HarryGarfield) Rounding off this bunch of results at #41 is 'theaudience's' second single 'If You Can't Do It When You're Young; When Can You Do It'. Released in February 1998 and reached #48 on the UK singles chart, becoming their first single to crack the UK top 100 charts. Another polished Indie pop sounding track from the band with strong vocals and a solid hook. Not much else to say about this really other than its fine, but not entirely all that memorable, I guess this type of sound just isn't for me.

Maxi Shield dies aged 51, RIP
A much loved-star of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under star has died at the age of 51. Maxi Shield has died just five months after publicly announcing their cancer diagnosis. They had been due to perform at Mardi Gras in Sydney with the show promoted on social media just three days before the sad announcement. Drag star Wigs By Vanity confirmed the tragic news on their Instagram, sharing: “It’s with the heaviest of hearts that we share the news that our dearest sister, Maxine, has passed away. “We are all mourning the loss of an incredible icon, friend, and our beloved sister. Thank you for the laughs, the cackles, and the magic you brought into our lives.” “I will cherish every second of our 30-year friendship, and I’m so grateful that I was a part of your chosen family. You will be forever loved and deeply missed. I love you old girl.” Just five months ago during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Maxi shared they'd suffered a “very scary” health issue. The star was taken to hospital after an “issue with a swollen gland” pushing on blood vessels in her throat. Maxi later confirmed that tests later revealed “this little swollen thing on the side of my throat is cancer” with a “70-80 per cent treatment rate.” They had undergone chemotherapy to try and shrink the tumour, with the latest round starting in January. On 30th January, they posted: "We are stronger we think! This is my 29th day since my last treatment. As you know, the first few weeks were tough. It’s probably the worst I’ve felt over this whole experience. But each day I’m feeling a little better.. still coughing like a lunatic and predominantly relying on the “rig / tube” for food / supplements. Hopefully in 4ish weeks that will change, but like everything, it’s baby steps and listen to your body." Drag star Universal Sydney also posted a statement, saying: “We are shocked and deeply saddened by the news of our beloved Maxi Shield’s passing. “In all my years in this community, there has never been a time I can remember when Maxi wasn’t an iconic presence (and she’d absolutely smack you for reminding her of that). Maxi worked across every queer venue in Sydney, touching hearts not only across the country but around the world through her appearance on Drag Race Down Under. “This Mardi Gras will feel different. It will be more solemn, as so many of us gather carrying the space left by her smile, her quick wit, and her remarkable spirit.”
