#69: John, I'm Only Dancing (Again) wVnu1WljoX4 Year of release: 1979 UK Peak: #12 Chart Run: {23-13-13-12-12-18-43-59} (15/12/1979 - 02/02/1980) Scores: 6 (richie), 5 (Joe.), 4 (popchartfreak, Severin, Acidburn, Taylor Jago), 3 (Colm), -1 (Dandy) Average: 3.625 Final score: 36.25 A re-recording of John, I’m Only Dancing taken from the sessions for the Young Americans album in 1974, the single became something of a surprise hit when it reached UK#12. Surprising in part, because the UK public had become accustomed to Bowie’s experimental leanings on recent works. However, the single capitalised on the popularity of the Disco scene in the UK. As time has passed this version has become something of a forgotten Bowie single. The 7” version is a substantial edit of the full 7 minute version that appeared on the 12”. Well what can I say? This is a bit of a shambles, really, and it sounds a lot worse than I remember. It drags on excessively, and the original is far superior. It's the only song to not have received a score better than 6 (although five others have a best score of 7) and no one has given this a better score than the original (which is actually quite well-liked and has finished very high). An utterly pointless disco remake of a perfectly good song.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/03229/bowie_mandalay_3229845c.jpg Over the course of his half-century long career, David Bowie had 69 top 50 hits, from Space Oddity to Lazarus. Following his death on January 10th 2016, we have been rating those top 50 hits in order to find the site's favourite Bowie song. 10 of you have voted, and now here are the results. Before we begin, here are a few facts about the results: All but 2 songs in the top 10 end in a fade-out.The longest title in the top 10 is of three words. The song in last shares its peak position with a song in the top 10.6 -1s were given. 23 11s were given. One song received both.No song has received more than 1 -1s. However, one song has received 6 11s.If a song received nothing but 10s, its score would be of 100. One song (the winner) has done better, with a final score of 104 and an average score of 10.4All but one of the songs who received a -1 are in the bottom 10. And as for the separate competition, with 16 points, here is your non Top 50 hit winner: kszLwBaC4Sw

I do hope the John Newman collab is better than "Blame". Looking forward to this!

Cool is fantastic! Much better than Heroes (We Could Be) in my opinion.

Thank you for all your rates, but the vote is now closed. Results will start soon. You can still vote for your 12 favourite non-top 50 hits, however.

Why is I Love You so low? I'd put it in seventh tbh. The four others are the worst on the album, so I'm glad to see them last.

1. Philip George - Wish You Were Mine (7th favourite of 2015) 2. DJ Fresh (feat. Ella Eyre) - Gravity (27th favourite of 2015) 3. OMI - Cheerleader (69th favourite of 2015) 4. Galantis - Peanut Butter Jelly (70th favourite of 2015) 5. Ella Eyre - Good Times (94th favourite of 2015) 6. Alesso (feat. Roy English) - Cool (117th favourite of 2015) 7. Alex Adair - Make Me Feel Better (peaked at #45) 8. The Prodigy - The Day Is My Enemy (didn't chart) 9. Avicii - Waiting For Love (19th least favourite of 2015) 10. Skrillex & Diplo (feat. Justin Bieber) - Where Are Ü Now (16th least favourite of 2015)

I love Let It Go, Lips Are Movin' and Perfect! For me, Perfect >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Drag Me Down.

Hotline Bling and Trap Queen are awful. I adore Don't Be So Hard On Yourself, Won't Look Back, The Hills and Easy Love! Cheyenne >>>>>>>>>>>>> Want To Want Me, personally. I'd honestly leave a party if it meant not having to put with the atrocity that is I'm An Albatraoz :puke2: Living Without You isn't bad.

God, what is wrong with you all? Firestarter already out? Voodoo Child (Pendulum Remix). I just feel that because it's a remix and subsequently produced by someone else, it's not really The Prodigy.

It's in the link in my signature (My EOY Thread 2015)

Secret Love Song, Peanut Butter Jelly, Say You Do, 7 Years, If You Leave Me Now, Stand By You and Sweet Lovin' :wub: :heart: Great chart!

I'm still furious Die Another Day isn't in this to be honest. Utterly horrific :puke: B-Day Song, Bitch I'm Madonna or S.E.X. to win.

Why is King so low? :angry: My favourite song of 2015, and in my top 10 of all-time :wub: :heart:

I Really Like You is really really really really really really good!

Do we have to nominate in every category?

Lodger has been in a tiebreaker and survived three times.

#15: David Bowie/Space Oddity {1969} Votes (round / tiebreaker): 2 / 3 Percentage (round / tiebreaker): 20.00% / 33.33% #16: Reality {2003} Votes (round / tiebreaker): 2 / 4 Percentage (round / tiebreaker): 20.00% / 44.44% #17: Young Americans {1975} Votes (round / first tiebreaker / second tiebreaker): 2 / 1 / 4 Percentage (round / first tiebreaker / second tiebreaker): 18.18% / 50.00% / 40.00% #18: Outside {1995} Votes (round / first tiebreaker / second tiebreaker): 2 / 1 / 6 Percentage (round / first tiebreaker / second tiebreaker): 18.18% / 50.00% / 60.00% As the tie being Young Americans and Outside is finally broken, we also see two albums depart in this round. In 18th we have Outside, which, while it includes Hallo Spaceboy, isn't an overly impressive album. Young Americans is at 17th, which is perhaps surprising. It houses its title track, Golden Years and Fame, a song which is seemingly way more popular with Americans than with us. Or with me for that matter. At 16th, we have Reality, which was released on September 16th 2003 when my little sister was six days old. Finally at 15th we have Bowie's second eponymous album, which was later renamed to the title of its most successful track, Space Oddity. Yet again, Lodger survives to a tiebreaker. #15: David Bowie/Space Oddity - 2 votes, 20.00% / 3 votes, 33.33% (tiebreaker) #16: Reality - 2 votes, 20.00% / 4 votes, 44.44% (tiebreaker) #17: Young Americans - 2 votes, 18.18% / 1 vote, 50.00% (first tiebreaker) / 4 votes, 40.00% (second tiebreaker) #18: Outside - 2 votes, 18.18% / 1 vote, 50.00% (first tiebreaker) / 6 votes, 60.00% (second tiebreaker) #19: Earthling - 2 votes, 28.57% #20: Hours... - 2 votes, 28.57% / 3 votes, 42.86% (tiebreaker) #21: Black Tie White Noise - 2 votes, 28.57% / 4 votes, 57.14% (tiebreaker) #22: David Bowie - 2 votes, 18.18% / 2 votes, 22.22% (tiebreaker) #23: Pin Ups - 2 votes, 18.18% / 7 votes, 77.77% (tiebreaker) #24: Tonight - 2 votes, 28.57% #25: Never Let Me Down - 3 votes, 42.86% Vote for your least favourite album and the two with the most votes will be eliminated!

Love the reference to Radio 1 always playing a version of Tiesto's "Wasted" with "Wasted" replaced by "Naked" :lol: Great chart! Secret Love Song is fantastic!

That's pretty much by default to be honest. I hope this stays far from the chart.

For anyone who hasn't yet voted, you have 34 hours left!

Vote to break the tie between these three albums. The two with the most votes (or one with the most votes if the two others receive the same number of votes) will be eliminated. Also the previous tiebreaker has been broken. The results for that one will be revealed in the results.
