  1. I prefer 'Boyfriend' to Pieces of Me'. That's one of the Mis-teeq songs I don't massively care for so not too bothered at that near the bottom. I do think Atomic Kitten is the best of the ones to drop out so far. I think it's a decent enough version.
  2. I went for VS first as wasn't crazy on that. I don't hate or dislike 'Sacred Trust' but I totally can see why people do lol.
  3. 'Dance With Me Tonight' is also fun but HSAB would be the higher of the two Olly tracks for me.

  5. George is also 7th in my rank that I've put together the other day. A great ballad from him that.
  6. Dont think I knew that either, all the while it being 'More More More' that is the track it's used from.
  7. Returning back to the chart almost 20 years later was Scottish Duo The Proclaimers with 'I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) which had peaked at 11 in 1988. They would re-record it again for the 2007 Comic Relief teaming up with comedians Peter Kay and Matt Lucus and that version would top the singles chart for 3 weeks. Scotland used it for their goal song in the current FIFA World Cup as well. 5 The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) (11/30 votes) 6 Micky Modelle V Jessy - Dancing In The Dark (9/27 votes) 7 The Game - Dreams (16/28 votes) 8 James Morrison - You Make It Real (11/32 votes) 9 Abs Ft Nodesha - Miss Perfect (11/28 votes) 10 Gareth Gates - What My Heart Wants To Say (21/30 votes) Vote your Least Fave
  8. 'Steal My Sunshine' to win <3
  9. Heading out third is Sugababes with 'Too Lost In You'. It was the second single taken from their third album Three. It was prominently featured in the Christmas movie Love Actually. The track gave the girls a seventh top 10 hit when it reached 10 in the chart! 3 Sugababes - Too Lost In You (14/29 votes) 4 MGMT - Time To Pretend (10/28 votes) 5 Linkin Park - New Divide (16/28 votes 6 Usher - Caught Up (17/31 votes) 7 Gwen Stefani - Wind It Up (12/29 votes) 8 Chris Cornell - You Know My Name (11/25 votes) 9 S Club 8 - Fool No More (9/30 votes) 10 Martine McCutcheon - On The Radio (12/33 votes)
  10. I like but don't love 'Caravan Of Love'. Thoroughly enjoy the unique sounding 'Rock Me Amadeus' though and I'd say would be in my top 5 from this year!
  11. I love 'Grenade'. One of his best personally.
  12. Not a fan of 'No Regrets'. Always found Dappy too irritating from a musical standpoint but I didn't mind him on Celebrity Big Brother at the time and think I would've preferred he won over the winner of that series.
  13. 'Heart Skips A Beat' would be in my top 10 I'd say. Catchy bop!
  14. MGMT's 'Time To Pretend' slips out in fourth spot. It was the lead single from their debut album Oracular Spectacular. Both this and 'Kids' were originally recorded and included on the 2005 EP Time To Pretend. The song peaked at 35, spending only 3 unbroken weeks inside the top 40 but sold enough to make it to 145th best selling song of 2008. The video contains references to Alejandro Jodorowsky's 1973 film The Holy Mountain and the 1954 novel The Lord of the Flies. It features an cameo by American singer-songwriter and producer Caroline Polachek! 4 MGMT - Time To Pretend (10/28 votes) 5 Linkin Park - New Divide (16/28 votes 6 Usher - Caught Up (17/31 votes) 7 Gwen Stefani - Wind It Up (12/29 votes) 8 Chris Cornell - You Know My Name (11/25 votes) 9 S Club 8 - Fool No More (9/30 votes) 10 Martine McCutcheon - On The Radio (12/33 votes) Vote Your Least Fave

  21. Great track. All of Nero's first 3 hits made my EOY that year. Another case of an act not having sustainable longevity after though.
  22. 'What Makes You Beautiful' was a great debut for 1D. I like several others of theirs but wouldn't class myself as a major fan though. 'Louder' is good too but it's roughly around the same for me as for you!
  23. I don't know if I would have got 'True Blue' being one of Madonna's #1's in the 80s if I was quizzed on it. It's okay but her other 80's #1's are far better (though not crazy on 'Who's That Girl' either actually). 'The Lady In Red' whilst I don't dislike it, it is pretty naff and plodding. Would've swapped this and 'A Spaceman Came Travelling' around positions wise and that is one of the really great Christmas songs to never be a regular top 40 returnee. Could really do with a new peak :( 40 feels unjust. (I did suddenly tweak that this was what most in here were talking about too!)
  24. Was between Love Inc and Sugababes (and MGMT) but settled on the former. A great top 4.
