Roba.

Robyn Fenty to go! The Manics song was great. Shouldn't have gone that round!

Manics fall at 5th in a very close round with their 2007 lead single 'Your Love Alone Is Not Enough' with an helping hand from The Cardigans lead singer Nina Persson. It comes off the album Send Away The Tigers and is reportedly written about the disappearance of their band member Richey Edwards who vanished in 1995 and the title track is specifically the words used in the note left before that occurred. It hit the charts in May of 2007 and ended up at 2 behind 'Beautiful Liar' by Beyoncé and Shakira! 5. Manic Street Preachers Ft Nina Persson - Your Love Alone Is Not Enough (9/32 Votes) [28.12%] 6.

Going for 'Yellow' to win!

Dropping out before the final we have Canadian star Shania Twain with 'I'm Gonna Getcha Good' which is the lead single from Shania's fourth album Up and comes after the hugely successful and spread out across 3 years album Come On Over which spawned countless big radio hits which we all know well. This one came out in October 2002 and peaked at number 4 and is ever the catchy number which sees Shania in a dystopian futuristic setting ie like in a video game where she's riding a motorcycle out of a secret location and cruising the city as other stuff happens as the video goes on. There are SIX versions of the video too including red and green remixes. Filming took place and was shot in London! 3. Shania Twain - I'm Gonna Getcha Good (15/30 Votes) [50.00%] 4.

Not decided yet!

:hi: all, we are back with an album to check out as part of our listenthrough and review/comments for a week and we decided to go for an act who has their own artist forum on the site in the form of Sugababes with their 2002 album Angels With Dirty Faces. This one came with the mega hits in 'Freak Like Me', sampling 'Are We Friends Electric' by Gary Numan and Tubeway Army and 'Round Round' as well as 'Stronger' and 'Shape' which the latter uses the sample of Sting's 1993 song 'Shape Of My Heart'. It reached number 2 in the charts. We thought this would be a great album to go over as it's one of the best girl group albums! dSAGsiVSoeE?si=PUgUB-uVgA7Ihqp_ FHh86ySgKrA?si=R4LMtO-jdXL4TLpZ SQ7iZ-cxyA0?si=EVFjngudbHrbTeok dCDXh2Fc284?si=fldf3qKFn5sFRl-f IpzFuRQ-1hY?si=us28H9WQ1QYB1vwz Total length : 54 mins, 23 secs

Week 44 Island In The Sun > Chop Suey! > The Legacy > Don't Need The Sun To Shine (weaker than the singles before it but still find this pretty nice) > Closer To Me (and whilst I get the drab comments.. I also really liked this too oops and bought it at the time) > Rock The House > Why Can't You Free Some Time > Young Fresh N' New > I'm So Crazy > We Fit Together Week 45 : pretty solid bunch for the most part and wouldn't usually put Slipknot bottom but that one didn't stand out as particularly interesting. Fallin (can't really be anything else on top, just an excellent debut and each part is grand) > Bohemian Like You > Would You Be Happier (the amount of times this played in the car, nice little wistful track) > Rapture > Stay With Me > Dreams > I'm Real > Waiting > That Day > Livin' It Up > Party Hard > Are You Lookin' At Me > Letter 2 My Unborn > Boiler > Left Behind.

This was my AQ trance entry to BJSC in 2018. Worth putting here as it was a lush discovery for me. WvOnvyd8Zr0?si=TZc-nEPzns2NhjUd

Week 42: In The End > Flawless > Has It Come To This? (didn't know they were around in 2001, well it's a solid debut from them too) > The Trees/Sunrise (both very pleasant, liking the instrumentation on each) > Since I Met You Lady/Sparkle Of My Eyes > You Rock My World > Drawing Rings Around The World > Brown Skin (nicely sung but not really doing much for me overall) > Please Save Me > When It's Over (it's no 'Every Morning and rather uninteresting too) > U Got It Bad Week 43: One Night Stand > I'm A Slave 4 U > Halfway Around The World > Because I Got High > Izzo (H.O.V.A.) > The Block Party (this is different for what I expecting from Lisa and in a positive way!) > Bouncing Flow (catchy rap track) > Course Bruv > Sambuca > Where The Party At > Loving You (Ole Ole Ole)

Just checking a couple from the last set as didnt comment on those. 'Lonely Days' isn't one I knew of Bee Gee's I don't think but is sounding good again from them. 'Apeman' is quite good too!

Perhaps surprisingly 'The Great Beyond' is R.E.M.'s highest charting single in the UK peaking at number 3 in 2000. I say surprise because lots of their other well known tracks get played on radio instead of this yet charted lower. It's a song recorded for the Man On The Moon film which is a biographic film and the title comes after the band's 1992 song and sees Jim Carey portray who the film is based around - Andy Kaufman who was a American entertainer and performance artist. Others that star in the film include Danny DeVito and Courtney Love. R.E.M. lose out in 6th place in this survivor! 6. R.E.M. - The Great Beyond (10/33 Votes) [30.30%] 7. Eminem - Cleaning Out My Closet (9/29 Votes) [31.03%] 8. Pitbull - Hotel Room Service (10/30 Votes) [33.33%] 9. Daddy Yankee - Gasolina (12/39 Votes) [30.77%] 10. Atomic Kitten - If You Come To Me (9/36 Votes) [25.00%] Vote Your Least Fave!

Well done to Lana on a 2nd round win!

It would have won had it not been in already yeah. It is my Least Fave though and feel she has better songs that came after it! Anyhow closed now. Next round will be up in a bit!

Misteeq - One Night Stand A - JGAG

Week 40: What Would You Do? > Family Affair > First Date (just as good as the stuff that came before for me) > Right On > Step On My Old Size Nines > Thinking It Over > I Want Love > Androgyny > Come What May > Jus 1 Kiss (nice production but feels too repetitive and lacklustre otherwise) > Bad Boy For Life > Music (found this very boring oops, seems wrong saying that about anything of Marvin Gaye's but doesn't do anything for me) > Chain Reaction (I'm not massive on the original either, it's good but nothing too special but this version was uneccesary) Week 41: Candy (agree on top song this time around, think I got the cd of this for either myself or my sister at the time, really nice track anyhow) > Fat Lip (this and 'Candy' so far ahead of the rest here) > Venus And Mars > Respectable > 2 People > Here I Come (Sing DJ) > Sven Sven Sven > Let's Get Back To Bed – Boy! > It's Over > You're My Mate (naff personified)

Actually pretty difficult as I'd say 'I'm Gonna Getcha Good' is my fave Shania track and then 'Tears Dry On Their Own' would be my 2nd Fave Amy song after 'Back To Black'.. Have voted Amy though as like to help out the underdog and I do just slightly prefer IGGG!

Out in 4th with a whopping 23 Votes from 29 is Robbie Williams with his 2003 single 'Something Beautiful' which comes off his album Escapology. The video is inspired by the reality shows like Pop Idol and there were people vying to impersonate Robbie himself and even his dad Peter takes part in being on the judging panel! 4. Robbie Williams - Something Beautiful (23/29 Votes) [79.31%] 5. Kanye West Ft Lupe Fiasco - Touch The Sky (18/33 Votes) [54.55%] 6. Shaggy Ft Samantha Cole - Luv Me Luv Me (16/29 Votes) [55.17%] 7.

Gonna need that tie breaking!

Congrats to Jim :cheer: Well that's some comeback for me this time round getting all but one wrong :lol: really really enjoyed this one anyhow. Thanks for hosting Mango!

Well 19 stumped me for ages. 'Sugar Sugar' was my initial guess but good thing I changed it and weirdly the "portrait" went past me for 20 at first too but of course a duh and would've kicked myself otherwise!

Well 'Go West' never came to mind but Village People definitely made sense and now the song does too lol. Oops. My guess was ToTo- Hold The Line which is completely inaccurate of course ddd. Adele was clever and Foreigner took some time, had 'Love Of The Common People' for a while but it came into place being that!

Also I think in the back of the Snow Patrol one I didn't notice for ages but I think those are Patrolers in the back. It did look like they were going in a opposite direction to chasing!
