  1. Beginning with the bland '911'.
  2. Vote your LEAST FAVE!
  3. Oasis for me this time.
  4. DJ Yanou, DJ Manian and Natalie Horler collectively known as German Dance trio Cascada are vanquished with their cover of 'Truly Madly Deeply'. Originally by Australian pop duo Savage Garden who peaked at 4 in 1998. Cascada's version went on to the peak at the same place in December 2006. It was the follow up to the mega summer smash 'Everytime We Touch'. 9 Cascada - Truly Madly Deepy (12/25 Votes) 10 Jennifer Ellison - Baby I Don't Care (12/27 votes) Vote your Least Fave!
  5. Basshunter was as basic as they come but I still enjoyed some of the songs. Admittedly preferred both of the follow up singles to 'Now You're Gone' though.

  7. 'Ring My Bell' grates on me too much with the 'Bell' empasis to enjoy it properly unfortunately but can't deny it's a disco tune nonetheless. 'YMCA' is a party anthem but not one I'd choose to listen to out of choice. It is fun dancing too and micking the moves at disco's though, obviously. 'Another Brick In The Wall' is an utter classic. Would be higher up my list!
  8. #134 1st (22/33 votes) Dance wins this survivor as Italian Electronic Music group Planet Funk's 2001 smash 'Chase The Sun' scoops 22 of 33 votes beating out a Spice Girl. Charting at number 5, it features uncredited vocals from Finnish singer Auli Kokka. The tracks melody is taken from Ennio Morricone's tune 'Alla luce del giorno' (English : 'In Daylight') from the score of 1969 film Metti, una sera a cena. The video was directed by Stuart Rideout and won best music video at the MTV Europe Awards. It's since been well known for being used in Darts competitions. 2nd (11/33 votes) Baby Spice aka Emma Bunton has to settle for runner up with 'Free Me'. Serving as the lead single from Emma's 2nd studio album with the same name and peaking at 5 in May 2003. She filmed the video in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Unlike her first album while on the Virgin Records label, Emma quit them and linked up with former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller and his label 19 Recordings. -- 3rd: Pink - Most Girls 13/28 votes (46%) 4th: Sugababes - Ugly 13/32 votes (41%) 5th: Flobots - Handlebars 14/32 votes (44%) 6th: Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock 10/25 votes (40%) 7th: Omarion - Ice Box 10/26 votes (38%) 8th: Dizzee Rascal - Dirtee Cash 11/28 votes (39%) 9th: City High - Caramel 11/29 votes (38%) 10th: Blue - Bubblin’ 15/31 votes (48%)
  9. Muse for the win here. Always preferred that and 'Knights Of Cydonia' to 'Supermassive Black Hole' personally (which is very good in itself too). Both of these two are great tracks though.
  10. Chicane is booted before the final with 'Poppiholla' a instrumental reworking of Iceland post-rock band Sigur Rós's 'Hoppípolla' which was released in 2005 and charted at #35 here in 2006. 'Poppiholla' gave Chicane his last top 10 hit in 2009 when it peaked at 7. It was used by Sky Sports across the next year for their usage of the Guiness Partnership. 3 Chicane - Poppiholla (14/23 votes) 4 Kate Bush - King Of The Mountain (11/25 Votes) 5 U2 - Elevation (11/27 Votes) 6 Puddle Of Mudd - Blurry (12/26 Votes) 7 Bloc Party - The Prayer (9/28 Votes) 8 Morrissey - Irish Blood, English Heart (13/30 Votes) 9 Nelly Ft Justin Timberlake - Work It (10/28 Votes) 10 Vengaboys - Uncle John From Jamaica (10/30) Vote for your Winner!
  11. Out first is Jennifer Ellison who first appeared in the now defunct soap Brookside up till 2003 as Emily Shadwick and was also a model when turning her hand to a brief music career covering Transvision Vamp's 'Baby I Dont Care' which peaked at 3 in 1989 with Jennifer's version reaching 6. She went onto Dancing On Ice in 2012 making the semi finals and also starred on Dance Moms UK version of the US reality TV hit series! 10 Jennifer Ellison - Baby I Don't Care (12/27 votes) Vote your Least Fave!
  12. More votes please.

    Weirdly enough I heard 'Well Well Well' in an old Eastenders episode from 2015 I was watching the other day lol. 'Sleepwalking' deserved to do a bit better than #20. On topic of X Factor Laura White's debut got to #32. Bands like OneRepublic and Maroon 5 went through a slump too in 2010 before having big hits again, 'lead singles All The Right Moves' #26 and 'Misery' #30.

    Considering they were coming off a huge era, #31 was the peak for MCR'S next lead single.
  15. One of Cliff's better songs agreed and another great Police track though they have several I prefer.
  16. I saw Dennis from Dr Hook in 2003 as part of a classmates birthday invite. Was a nice evening and so would've been the first time I heard 'When Your In Love With A Beautiful Woman'. I think it's nice enough albeit nothing special. Haven't heard the one above it and the Lena track is not for me.
  17. 'Dance Wiv Me' is tune. '4 Minutes' I liked then but not as mad on nowadays and don't seek out either.
  18. I vaguely recall the Kelis one as I charted that briefly. Might have heard the Remi one before but not too sure and Veronicas as well. Others I recognise but not familiar with the songs so look forward to checking them.
  19. Was tough between MGMT and Chicane, both are great but settled on the former. 'Starlight' is my overall fave from the list though
  20. Being away for over a decade Kate Bush made a comeback in 2005 with her sole single 'King Of The Mountain' taken from her 8th album Aerial. It charted at number 4 in October and thus became Kate's first top 10 single in nearly twenty years. The lyrics tell of extreme pressures of fame and wealth and also enquires about the possibility of Elvis Presley still being alive somewhere. 4 Kate Bush - King Of The Mountain (11/25 Votes) 5 U2 - Elevation (11/27 Votes) 6 Puddle Of Mudd - Blurry (12/26 Votes) 7 Bloc Party - The Prayer (9/28 Votes) 8 Morrissey - Irish Blood, English Heart (13/30 Votes) 9 Nelly Ft Justin Timberlake - Work It (10/28 Votes) 10 Vengaboys - Uncle John From Jamaica (10/30) Vote your Least Fave!
  21. Unpopular opinion perhaps but I like the Jennifer Ellison cover personally (and bought it too lol). Nothing amazing obviously but it's kinda fun for me and she sings it well enough. Of course the original is great though also!
  22. Am a Cascada fan for most but on this occasion I'm voting them out first as don't care for that cover, feels like a strange choice of song to turn dance too!

  24. What are some memorable celeb interview moments you can think of from 2000 to 2019?
