Roba.

Votes are now in ^_^

'Ocean Of Eternity' and 'Don't Stop' sounding good from the new entries outside the top 20 to the top 75. I did like 'Sacred Trust' tbh but do realise it's very naff indeed in hindsight and it's very clear why GA won out and it was exciting to see a new girl group burst onto the scene in the process. Funny that there's a dance over of 'I Think We're Alone Now' when they covered it themselves a few years later. 'Sk8erboi' my favourite of the new entries overall. What an punchy anthem that was. Avril made a statement with her debut era. A lot of slushy stuff that was passable for me at the time like the Ronan and Lulu collab and S Club Juniors although the latter I'm not quite as fond of now whilst their other singles still sound good to me. Shame 'Family Portrait' missed out on a top 10 placing the week prior. My reshuffle of the top 10. 1. Feel 2. Sk8erboi 3. Lose Yourself 4. You're A Superstar 5. The Ketchup Song 6. If You're Not The One 7. Sound Of The Underground 8. Sacred Trust 9. Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word 10. The Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum)

Madonna again. Snow Patrol was no loss.

Okay will go to 'Kids' instead as whilst I do like it, I don't love it exactly and we ain't not getting a final 2 consisting of songs that have both won previously :lol:

So much nostalgia from this year aside from the lacklustre Christmas top 2. I do like 'Somethin Stupid' though for what it was but obviously not up there with Robbie's ultimate collabs or #1's. 'Gotta Get Thru This', 'Murder On The Dancefloor' and 'Lately' my personal faves in the Top 10, the latter is also one I bought on CD. 'What If' outside the top 10 too. Some really lovely ballads out around this time imo. The Feeder EP is also very good. I've only just listened to the other songs on it the other day for Julian's thread so will be posting in there soon to complete 2001. Dj Otzi flopping at Christmas. That 5 mins of fame was over quick lol.

2nd this week! Back over 200 posts again (206).

+5 APT. +4 The Emptiness Machine +3 2 Hands +2 People Watching +1 WILDFLOWER -1 The Door -2 Bad Dreams -3 Bed Chem -4 That's So True -5 Sailor Song Strong top 10 imo. Only the bottom 3 I'm not keen on particularly.

Seems we might be on for a repeat songs final 2 then.

A TV staple up to a certain point, was talking about Stars In Their Eyes hosted by Matthew Kelly the other day and feel like rewatching some of these. Did you watch it? What are some of your favourite ones from the show that you remember going into the 21st Century. Here's a clip of one I vaguely recall (not the best song pick though lol) YK6IC5cx0VY?si=WdFSwRoVHDB-22Ro

C4kd4_UFIIE?si=70X8gvuVb5eM2XVt 1OufFRhys2w?si=AdsjeXM3KYZCbQfu Also found an 5ive interview that took place from 06 despite their split years prior. yEcE2IJdlvA?si=y9zDDb5CE25R22xo Would've liked something like this back tbh if we couldn't get TOTP!

2005 or 2006 would be good ones to do.

'The Scientist' and 'I'm Gonna Getcha Good' are both fab!

They only did 3 for the 1992 one as well haha (one was outside the top 20 even).

Rude to skip a Dannii tune radio 2 <_< 'Die Another Day' not an Madonna essential / one I'd choose to listen to but it's fine.

Hopefully this can do well Wardy. Just checked and instantly recognise it via my sister being into the Final Fantasy games so will have heard it around the house. It's a sweet piece!

After a two month hiatus we finish off 2024 with Beyond The Black and as the song title says 'Is There Anybody Out There?.. that'll be a fan of this rock stomper 🤔 _PjhX07dsIg?si=BOD_AblxSqr3k9p-

They are racing through the 1992 one today. Hardly any of the top 20 played.

Am here for this at 2. Will just be listening along only though.

Artwork - Good Fave Track disc 1 - Mika - Grace Kelly Fave Track disc 2 - The Killers - Read My Mind (could be a toss up between 5 songs though). Overall rating - Very Good

Beyoncé ~ II Most Wanted (feat. Miley Cyrus) Chrystal ~ The Days Coldplay ~ FeelsLikeImFallingInLove Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Tiësto, Dido and W&W ~ Thank You (Not So Bad) Eliza Rose and Calvin Harris ~ Body Moving Gracie Abrams ~ Us (feat. Taylor Swift) this is worse than her higher charting hits imo, shame Taylor's featured on it :( ). Kygo and Ava Max ~ Whatever Myles Smith ~ Stargazing NewEra ~ Birds In The Sky Noah Kahan ~ Stick Season Sonny Fodera, Jazzy and D.O.D ~ Somedays Teddy Swims ~ Lose Control The Kid Laroi ~ Nights Like This The Weeknd and Anitta ~ São Paulo (mostly for that repetitive effect bit, jarring) YG Marley ~ Praise Jah In The Moonlight A lot more of the rap songs would likely be on my list but fortunately I either don't recall them or haven't listened to them anywhere or on my own accord and tbf if 'Lose Control' hung around for say only a month or something then it'd probably not be here actually.

Rank 1. Freak Like Me (BEST) 2. Round Round 3. Stronger 4. Blue 5. Shape 6. Breathe Easy (Accoustic Jam) 7. Just Don't Need This 8. Supernatural 9. No Man No Cry 10. Round Round (Alternative Remix) 11. More Than A Million Miles 12. Switch 13, Virgin Sexy 14. Angels With Dirty Faces (WORST)

Literally the same :lol:

Madonna this time but I don't care for 'Signal Fire' either.

Must've forgot 'Supreme' was released close to Christmas not to mention being inside the Christmas top 10 at that! Robbie along with Eminem, S Club and LeAnn my faves from it anyhow. Bob and Tweenies repping the novelty tv show hits there. I did like both at the time being a kid :P the latter show I watched a lot. The Craig song was nice enough for me but that's moreso for the song and melody rather than Craig's singing himself which was poor and we've touched on that Roy Wood/Wombles mess enough last year lol.
