Jim ranks the 2009 UK #1s
Bland cover, Joe has a good voice but wasn't my choice for winner. Stacey or Olly like Paddington would have been my preferred choices too. That 'Islands In The Stream' version isn't anything great obviously but since it was made for the cause I don't dislike it as such.

10 Years of Dobago: A Reflection
Wow I forgot I sent that. Result is fair though, a decent enough dance track and again unsurprisingly sounds like something you'd enjoy but 18 is very generous. Pointed and was a fan of 'Diane' and 'Thumbs' too.

Round 6 : End Of Year Survivor #139
Rihanna departs with 'Rehab' which was the fifth and final single from her third album Good Girl Gone Bad and features Justin Timberlake. The song was written and produced by Justin and Timbaland while Rihanna began accompanying Timbaland on JT's Future Sex/Love Show tour. Critics noted similarities in structed parts of 'Rehab' to Justin's hits 'Cry Me A River' and 'What Goes Around... Comes Around'. The track ultimately peaked at 16 in the charts in November 2008. 6 Rihanna Ft Justin Timberlake - Rehab (15/30 votes) 7 Mis-teeq - Can't Get It Back (10/31 votes) 8 Britney Spears - 3 (13/31 votes) 9 Craig David - All The Way (16/28 votes) 10 Irv Gotti Presents Ja Rule, Ashanti, Vita and Charlie Balitmore - Down 4 U (8/26 votes) Vote your Least Favourite

Round 4 : End Of Year Survivor #140
Joe and Mystikal drop out in 8th with 'Stutter'. It was the third single to be taken from Joe's third album in 2000 and peaked at 7. There is an original slowed version of the track that used no samples however a double take remix uses the sample of 'Passin Me By' by the Pharcyde which itself samples 'Summer In The City' by Quincy Jones. There was an lawsuit from J-Swift over the sampling of 'Passin Me By' without crediting his name in 2001 but the suit later got dropped due to failing to respond to allegations. In the video actress Natashia Williams plays the girlfriend of Joe and also portrays the evil twin sister. 8 Joe Ft Mystikal - Stutter (10/27 votes) 9 N-Dubz - Strong Again (9/26 votes) 10 Rik Waller - I Will Always Love You (26/31 votes) Vote Your Least Favourite!

'Strong Again' was one of the few N-Dubz songs I rather liked tbh, though not a fan of them overall.

Round 3 : End Of Year Survivor #140
Not strong enough to make it out of round 2 is hip hop trio N-Dubz made up of cousins Dappy and Tulisa and fellow friend Frazer. 'Strong Again' was the sixth single released from their debut album Uncle B and reached 24 in February 2009. It was produced by Fraser T. Smith and Kano! 9 N-Dubz - Strong Again (9/26 votes) 10 Rik Waller - I Will Always Love You (26/31 votes) Vote Your Least Favourite!

Mis-teeq are next for the chop with 'Can't Get It Back' which is the second single taken from their second album Eye Candy and gave the girls an seventh consecutive top 10 hit peaking at number 8. It's a cover originally released by another girl group from America called Blaque at the end of 2001 and samples 'We're Going To A Party' by Evelyn Champagne King 7 Mis-teeq - Can't Get It Back (10/31 votes) 8 Britney Spears - 3 (13/31 votes) 9 Craig David - All The Way (16/28 votes) 10 Irv Gotti Presents Ja Rule, Ashanti, Vita and Charlie Balitmore - Down 4 U (8/26 votes) Vote your Least Favourite

I think you got me and Viper mixed up there on the 3 score 🤭 I can respect it's slick production but it's not done much for me. Do like one or two of Rachel's other singles after though. Enjoy both 'I'm Outta Love' and 'Spinning Round' though for the latter I was always into and do prefer the sublime 'On A Night Like This'!

10, 9, 8... 3rd out here is Britney Spears.. Released as part of Britney's second Greatest Hits compilation The Singles Collection in 2009, '3' the sole track from it and gave Britney her 20th top ten hit over here when it peaked at 7. The single became her fourth of five US #1's. It's written about threesomes and referencing American folk singing trio Peter, Paul and Mary during the chorus as sexual slang. 8 Britney Spears - 3 (13/31 votes) 9 Craig David - All The Way (16/28 votes) 10 Irv Gotti Presents Ja Rule, Ashanti, Vita and Charlie Balitmore - Down 4 U (8/26 votes) Vote your Least Favourite

Out first goes Rik Waller who took part in Pop Idol 1 and made it the final 10 but laryngitis forced him out of the show leading to Darius Danesh replacing him. Rik signed with EMI records label shortly after and released his debut album From Now.. and the first single from it was a cover of 'I Will Always Love You' originally by Dolly Parton and was made even more famous with Whitney Houston who took it to no.1 for 10 weeks in 1992. Rik's version peaked at 6 and he subsequently followed up with another cover in Labi Siffre's '(Something Inside) So Strong' which charted at 25. Also in 2002 He appeared on Celebrity Fit Club however he was kicked off the show when caught binge eating! 10 Rik Waller - I Will Always Love You (26/31 votes) Vote Your Least Favourite!
