I'm glad its Top 40, maybe she finally has some name power to brag? It could be Sigala, but he's had a fair few flops himself It's very disappointing though... coming off the back of Wish You Well AND Better Off Without You I expected a banger. Maybe it was wise not to do a carbon copy of WYW at least not just yet, but at least a bit more power in the chorus and drop would go down well

:lol: I actually enjoy James Arthur's collaborations sometimes. It's his solo releases that put me off lately, but his first era is great!

Indeed, the inclusion of DC and Kelly songs has pushed a few big hitters down quite a bit including Irreplaceable and Formation as seen here. For comparison here's the last rate result positions compared with those revealed thus far: Also listed are their previous rate scores 32 06. Irreplaceable (8.11) 36 07. Sorry (8.11) 31 08.

Video Phone (4.65) Video Phone's popularity has increased by a factor of 0.01 since the last rate, given it's score is now 4.66! :lol: The impact of AF Idol

Lot's of XO discussion this week has led to me listening to it a few more times so... My vote this round goes to XO :lol: It's a nice song but a definite misfire as a single Fingers crossed for Sorry and Freedom making the Top 10!

40. Destiny's Child - Soldier (feat. T.I. & Lil Wayne) - 7.09 39. Kelly Rowland - Like This (feat. Eve) - 7.15 38. Beyonce - Broken-Hearted Girl - 7.16 37. Destiny's Child - Emotion - 7.272 (less 11s) 36. Beyonce - Sorry - 7.272 (more 11s) 35. Beyonce - Freedom (feat. Kendrick Lamar) - 7.4 34. Beyonce - Pretty Hurts - 7.5 (absolutely no 10s) 33. Beyonce - Baby Boy (feat. Sean Paul) - 7.5 (less 10s) 32. Beyonce - Irreplaceable - 7.5 (more 10s) 31. Beyonce - Formation - 7.54 Returning to the countdown, we see Beyonce being absolutely slaughtered :drama: Some great songs are eliminated here. The 1-2-3 punch of losing Sorry, Freedom, AND Formation here leaves us with just All Night left from the Lemonade era. Ironic considering how badly it performed in the Single of the Decade survivor... Also gone are some bops from Kelly and Destiny's Child, Emotion of which I kind of expected to be higher up although Top 40 is probably where I would rank it personally tbh.

Both Pitbull and both Benny collabs are great songs, I also enjoyed Five More Hours at the time but can’t say I’ve listened to it since

Also on the set list were songs like Use Somebody, Without You (U2), Boulevard Of Broken Dreams, Six Months In A Leaky Boat and more I love Under Pressure, one of my all time favourites. Although saying that, Rebel Rebel (my #3 I believe) is incredible too and is very high on my list. I would argue I prefer Rebel Rebel now, but Space Oddity does have a special place in my heart

Anne-Marie has a tendency to release either certified 10/10 bangers or absolute garbage and very little in between

#5 in Aus :cheer:

I adore Space Oddity! We sung it in our year 5/6/7 “choir”

Prepare yourself for more shocks x PSA: Results will continue on Sunday night, I’m away for the weekend and everything is on my laptop... at home

Partly true although XO and DIL are both listed as lead singles. XO was pushed as a single 3 days after album release and DIL 4 days Imo it should have been DIL then Blow and skip XO all together

To be fair DIL was also a lead single technically, I suppose so XO can target pop audiences and DIL the hip hop audience. But even then it doesn’t quite work. A misfire for sure but I suppose both songs still did reasonably well commercially, despite not being huge hits

This Is What You Came For 100%, miles behind the rest of these

I'm expecting the same Top 2 maybe in switched order, but I can see the Top 10 being shifted quite a bit with her latest two albums. I would like to see PDLM and Sober in the Top 10 still, I'm expecting Try to be higher this time although if it were up to me idk if it would even make my own Top 10

Jealous and Superpower are on par for me tbh, but my vote is going to Superpower this round!

Hey Mango! The Killers are doing really great this era :wub: I'm very excited for the album too! Savage Love has grown on me a lot :lol: Thanks!

Beyonce - Listen - 7.083 (more 10s) And that's it for Michelle! Her last song exits at #43. Not even cracking the Top 40 what a brave girl x Speaking of a girl, outpeaking it's remix/sample/whatever you wanna call it is the original Girl from Destiny's Child also missing the Top 40 along with some more notable hits. Theres some immediate shocks like XO, Listen, and to a lesser degree Flawless and Savage Remix, whilst I'm not overly surprised at Daylight and Deja Vu not doing overly well. Lot's more tiebreakers in this batch too, it seems they never stop :lol:

Very helpful *.* I didn't realise Blonde had been entered before, and pleasantly surprised that RAYE and Noonie Bao have had wins! I'm assuming it was before the song took off as this was after real hits were disqualified from entering? Same goes for Sigala I remember hype around the site for Jaded's In The Morning and enjoyed it so much to the point it actually made my personal chart despite not even knowing what BJSC was at the time! Obviously I wasn't clueless for long as I made my debut in 101 and will always remember basting out Sofia on the drive to uni :') I think for that reason alone it's my favourite BJSC winner, not in terms of a being the 'best' song here but as the one that means the most to me as it was my first real look into BJSC. thoughts & prayers is an incredible song also and would otherwise be my absolute favourite here.

An all time favourite is Break Free. Not only is a pop ANTHEM... it's a dance one too! :lol: I adored it when it was released and I adore it now. One Last Time is a very close second. It was a bop before and was just elevated after everything that happened, I can't listen to it without feeling emotional and there are very very very few songs that have such an effect on me. Both of them would be in my Top 10 songs of the 2010s for definite if not Top 5! I'm listening to her now purely because of this thread :wub: Euphoric

oof

What A Feeling is a classic dance tune I'll always associate with 2010s dance music - similar could also be argued for Run The World (Girls) ~ As we approach the Top 50 let's have a little bit of a breakdown! 119.
