Herbs Ranks the 2008 #1's
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.

dandy* ranks the UK #1 singles of 1979
'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!

The Final : End Of Year Survivor #136
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.

The Final : End Of Year Survivor #136
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.

Best Brits Moments of the 21st Century
- Flop Lead Singles
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.- Flop Lead Singles
Considering they were coming off a huge era, #31 was the peak for MCR'S next lead single.- dandy* ranks the UK #1 singles of 1979
One of Cliff's better songs agreed and another great Police track though they have several I prefer.- dandy* ranks the UK #1 singles of 1979
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.- Herbs Ranks the 2008 #1's
'Dance Wiv Me' is tune. '4 Minutes' I liked then but not as mad on nowadays and don't seek out either.- Bop Idol 6: BOP PARTY / Voting / Deadline: Saturday 21st February 2026, 23:59 GMT
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.- Round 8 : End Of Year Survivor #136
Was tough between MGMT and Chicane, both are great but settled on the former. 'Starlight' is my overall fave from the list though- Round 8 : End Of Year Survivor #136
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!- Round 1 : End Of Year Survivor #137
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!- Round 1 : End Of Year Survivor #137
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!- Round 1 : End Of Year Survivor #137
