Yeah Emma Willis is at risk of becoming the next Holly Willoughby. 😂 Zoe would be the right fit for Tess’s role, no? Claudia’s position will be more difficult to fill successfully. It will have to be a female comedian who has her own distinct schtick… my mind runs blank. All I can think of is Jo Brand and Miranda Hart and I don’t think either would suit the role. 🤷 Someone like Joanna Lumley would be amazing but I don’t think she live presents ever. 🤷 -

Hmm I think both Girlicious and The 1975 would be more at risk of elimination before ABBA this round.
Pop Princesses (2004) 10 Christina Aguilera - Genie In A Bottle 09 Sugababes - In The Middle 07 Kylie Minogue - Spinning Around 10 Rachel Stevens - Sweet Dreams My LA Ex 10 Avril Lavigne - Complicated 05 Atomic Kitten - Ladies Night 09 Destiny's Child - Survivor 09 Girls Aloud - Jump 10 P!nk - Get The Party Started 10 Mis-Teeq - Scandalous 06 Jennifer Lopez - Jenny From The Block 03 Holly Valance - Kiss Kiss 06 Lumidee - Never Leave You (Uh Oooh!) 07 Christina Milian - AM To PM 08 Anastacia - I'm Outta Love 07 Delta Goodrem - Born To Try 07 Hilary Duff - So Yesterday 09 Kelly Clarkson - Miss Independent 10 Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Murder On The Dancefloor 10 Amy Studt - Misfit 09 Emma Bunton - Maybe 09 Stacie Orrico - (There's Gotta Be) More To Life 11 t.A.T.u. - All The Things She Said Seriously an impressive tracklist for a compilation album! Holly gets the -1 3 pts just for being gross in general. Everything else is enjoyable at a minimum. There's a noticeable dip in quality for me from J.Lo to Hilary Duff but thankfully it picks up again towards the end: that succession of Miss Independent > Murder > Misfit > Maybe > More to Life > ATTSS is just perfection! t.A.T.u. just had to get my 11 - though Rachel and Amy would've been my 'less predictable' picks.
01 Scissor Sisters - Take Your Mama 02 HAIM - I Know Alone 03 The Chicks - Not Ready to Make Nice 04 Blondie - Hanging On the Telephone 05 Erasure - So the Story Goes 06 ABBA - Hole in Your Soul 07 The Corrs - I Never Loved You Anyway 08 Atomic Kitten - If You Come to Me 09 Florence + the Machine - Queen of Peace 10 Ace of Base - Beautiful Life 11 The 1975 - Love Me 12 Girlicious - Over You Fantastic Scissor Sisters choice there! Not one I cared for at the time of release but the years have done it wonders. HAIM has another fantastic selection here - one of my absolute favourites from them! The Chicks continue to surprise me in the best way - am I becoming a fan? Another solid choice there from Blondie and one I'm not super familiar with *adds to 70s playlist* - while I still think ABBA are the frontrunners for the groups category, Blondie are showing up!!! Speaking of ABBA, another fab deep cut from them! Erasure delivering another strong entry as well! I like both The Corrs and the Kittens choices so it seems wrong to rank them 7th and 8th but it's a very strong round! If You Come to Me in particular is a marked improvement on The Tide Is High for me and a standout on their Ladies Night album. There are 3 particular AK songs that would definitely get high points from me so I'm intrigued to see if they get chosen. F+TM and Ace of Base not really aligning with my tastes as much this round but I'm sure that won't be the case for long. Not feeling The 1975 and Girlicious choices.
I have Hands Clean and Uninvited on regular rotation in my house. I need to delve into her discography tbh as I enjoy most of what I hear from her.
Aww shame to see Dire Straits out. Romeo & Juliet is one of my faves from them.
Looking forward to it! So much pop perfection omg.
Yeah if you want to cover her entire career then probably best in the music lounge. 😁 or split between the throwback forums. 🤷 I guess it’s up to you. 😅
Yes please @Jade !! I thought the same after your post that it’d be good to have a Pop Princesses/Pop Party series of rates so glad you want to do that kind of thing. ❤️ @matto as long as it’s 2000 onwards go ahead. 😊
01 Conan Gray - Killing Me 02 David Bowie - Young Americans 03 Shawn Mendes - Lost in Japan (Zedd Remix) 04 Ruel - Not What’s Going On 05 Nik Kershaw - Gone to Pieces 06 Fred again.. - Berwyn (all that i got is you) 07 Troye Sivan - Strawberries & Cigarettes 08 The Weeknd - A Lesser Man 09 Guitarricadelafuente & Troye Sivan - midsummer pipe dream 10 George Michael - Freeek! 11 Markus Riva - Forever 12 Eric Saade - Every Minute That Conan track was a fantastic discovery. Thank you whoever you are! Also loved the Bowie and Ruel selections! Turns out I do know (and like) the original version of that Shawn track - the remix was fab! Nik continues to be a great discovery. A far better Fred entry imo but no wow factor just yet. 7-9 are all just okay for me. Not a fan at all of that George track sadly nor the two below.
01 Chappell Roan - Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl 02 Kelly Clarkson - Gone 03 Kesha - Blow 04 Michelle Branch - You Set Me Free 05 Nelly Furtado & Tiësto - Who Wants to Be Alone 06 ROSALÍA - DIABLO 07 Lily Allen - Who’d Have Known 08 Toni Braxton - You’re Makin’ Me High 09 FKA twigs - Glass & Patron 10 Delta Goodrem - Sitting On Top of the World 11 LiSA - Gurenge (紅蓮華) 12 Nadia Oh - Taking Over the Dancefloor More fantastic selections from Chappell and Kelly! Both are highlights of their respective albums. Surprised Kesha is so high in my ranking but the song sounds better to my ears and I wasn't really blown away by the rest. The Michelle and Nelly selections were nice enough but nothing standout for me: round 1 choices >>>. ROSALIA's song was an interesting choice for sure. I can't say it massively appealed to me but it had its qualities. Much prefer this Lily track to URL Badman but still yet to see a song of hers I properly like. Toni is yet to wow me tbh but heading in the right direction at least. FKA's song had some nice parts but generally not my cup of tea oops. Delta was lacking for me here but I reckon she's got far better to come! The bottom two
