  2. Taio Cruz is next to go with 'I Can Be'. It was the fourth single released from his debut album ironically called Departure and peaked at 18 in May 2008. 7 Taio Cruz - I Can Be 15/28 votes 8 Babyshambles - f*** Forever 14/29 votes 9 Craig David - What's Your Flava? 11/28 votes 10 Daniel Bedingfield - Nothing Hurts Like Love 8/22 votes Vote Your Least Fave!
  3. Tie needs breaking.
  4. Glad no one noticed my blip of leaving Christina off here 🤭 rather than scrap the thread I've added her at the end with the year of it's EOY position in brackets (same with the other songs) Apologies if that confuses anyone!
  5. This. 'First Time' and 'Two More Years' probably my next two choices but they are both solid.
  6. Well.. my next vote is 'Sexyback' so prepare to be disappointed again lol. Sunshine's I barely recall though. I totally get why Taio's is being targeted but have always found it fairly nice. Did get to 9 in my chart too x
  7. Elton John's first single across his career 'Your Song' was a top 10 hit in 1970 and has been covered numerous times over the years including by Ellie Goulding who's version got to 2 in 2010. In 2002 though Elton re-recorded the track as a duet with Italian Operatic Pop Tenor Alessandro Safina in aid of Sports Relief and resulted in a peak of 4. It finds itself out in 7th here. 7 Elton John Ft Alessandro Safina - Your Song 12/30 votes 8 Flo Rida Ft Timbaland - Elevator 11/27 votes 9 DJ Luck & MC Neat Ft JJ - Masterblaster 2000 7/21 votes 10 Dane Bowers - Shut Up and Forget About It 19/28 votes Vote Your Least Fave
  8. Sunshine Anderson for me now but it's ok.
  9. Babyshambles highest charting single drops out in 8th spot. 'f*** Forever' peaked at 4 in August 2005 and comes off their debut album Down In Albion. Pete Doherty formed the band whilst on a hiatus from his other group The Libertines. 8 Babyshambles - f*** Forever 14/29 votes 9 Craig David - What's Your Flava? 11/28 votes 10 Daniel Bedingfield - Nothing Hurts Like Love 8/22 votes Vote Your Least Fave!
  10. 'Paradise' would be my fave and up there with Coldplay best. Mylo Xyloto is the only album I have of theirs (should attempt to get X&Y somewhen) and is very good. 'Somebody That I Used To Know', 'Feel The Love' and 'We Are Young' are all brilliant too and finished within my top 15 of the year. 'Some Nights' was my 1 of the year though as it had a slight edge in preference for me from the latter part of 2012. Really good run of singles Fun. had as I quite liked 'Carry On' too albeit to a lesser extent than those two!
  11. 7/10 very good for the artwork. Good but could be better overall as not as many standout faves. Disc 1 - t.A.T.u. with GA and XTM next in line. Disc 2 - Emma with Busted and Feeder closing out top 3.
  12. 'All The Small Things' is a rock tune. Like 'Still D.R.E' as well. 'Mama Told Me Not To Come' is... alright but not particularly cared for that. Like the 5ive song and bought Geri's (I know it's naff cheese but 7 year old self didn't care then haha). Actually bought all of Geri's singles from that one up to 'Calling'. Wouldn't say she was my top Spice Girl but that would suggest otherwise lol.
  13. Going to Babyshambles. Hadn't heard it before and didn't care for it much either so fairly easy choice as I like both the Ricky and Taio songs.
  14. Craig David ran out of flavours as 'What's Your Flava?' falls out 9th. It was the lead single from Craig's second album Slicker Than Your Average and peaked at 8 in November 2002. It was featured in the 2003 film What A Girl Wants and was also used in a commercial for Mattel's unsuccessful Flava Dolls and in 2007 for Popeye's Chicken commercials. 9 Craig David - What's Your Flava? 11/28 votes 10 Daniel Bedingfield - Nothing Hurts Like Love 8/22 votes Vote Your Least Fave!
  15. Sir Elton and Alessandro your time has now come.
  16. Flo Rida exits from his 'Elevator' in 8th. It was the second single from Flo's debut album Mail On Sunday and was produced by Timbaland who also features on the track. The piano intro features a melody based on the Halloween theme by John Carpenter and the second verse imitates the chorus of 'The Donque Song' by wil.i.am and Snoop Dogg. The video features cameos from DJ Khaled (another one), Rick Ross and Christina Milian among other rappers. 'Elevator' peaked at 20 in May 2008. 8 Flo Rida Ft Timbaland - Elevator 11/27 votes 9 DJ Luck & MC Neat Ft JJ - Masterblaster 2000 7/21 votes 10 Dane Bowers - Shut Up and Forget About It 19/28 votes Vote Your Least Fave
  17. A pop gem for sure though Carly would go on to better it with 'Run Away With Me' for me. That to someday do a 'Go' by Chemical Brothers would be great. Looks like the 6 left are almost the same for me too.
  18. 'Hot Right Now' is quite good but not one I've taken too much notice of. 'Beneath Your Beautiful' is lovely. Really hits in the feels that opening verse and the piano. Not a fan of Florence generally as her voice goes through me oops but I didn't mind 'Sweet Nothing' tbf so that being the higher of the two is good to see.
  19. Going back to bed is Daniel Bedingfield with 'Nothing Hurts Like Love'. It is the lead single to be taken from Daniel's second album Second First Impression and peaked at number 3 in 2004 and would end up being his last top 10 hit. 10 Daniel Bedingfield - Nothing Hurts Like Love 8/22 votes
  20. Garage duo DJ Luck and MC Neat didn't receive much luck in the second round as they are booted out with 'Masterblaster 2000' (initially titled 'On Da Street'). It became a second top 5 hit for them. It's an cover of Stevie Wonder's 1980 hit and samples the all star remix of 'No Diggity' by Blackstreet which in itself samples 'As Long As I've Got You' by The Charmels. 9 DJ Luck & MC Neat Ft JJ - Masterblaster 2000 7/21 votes 10 Dane Bowers - Shut Up and Forget About It 19/28 votes Vote Your Least Fave
  21. Another bump as noticed tie needs breaking x
  22. BJSC 4 times (Cathedrals, Madison Rose, Nabihah Iqbal and Lucia and The Best Boys)!
  23. Bump, more votes pls.
  24. Not one I particularly loved or really liked myself but it's quite good and a bunch of fun.
