Stay is mega-mega-tune. Choose Life is still the only song I know that non-abreviatedly mentions "compact disc players".

Always loved that "whooooa whoooa" at the beginning.

Ditto

A bit off-topic but just like in EURO 2016, England has qualified to the final stages of this year's U-19 and U-17 European championships to be held later this year in Germany and Azerbaijan respectively. Scotland has also qualified for the U-17 final phase. This year's U-19 European championships will also decide which five teams will compete at the 2017 U-20 World Cup in Korea.

Freed From Desire is a total jam but I prefered other Gala tracks like Let A Boy Cry and especially Come Into My Life.

"Portugal" Walk The Moon "Papua New Guinea" Future Sound Of London by the way, even if Rodriguez screaming around like a Latin American politician doing a speech gets a tad too annoying, Ecuador is still a monster of a tune

Give me your hand and come with me Let's go on a trip to search for the magic sounds of Ecuador! Ecuador! Listen to me! Let's go on a trip to search for the magic sounds of Ecuador! Listen to me! Now, yes!

Free is a beast of a tune if there was ever one. I also like several of Ultra's tracks like Found A Cure, New Kind Of Medicine, the Stars On 54 track and her t.

Proper tune. I didn't know that video, only the one where Ruth-Ann is in the bathroom.

411. "Take Care" Drake & Rihanna (2 weeks) Reached #1: 26 February 2012 UK Chart Peak: #9 "Take Care" gave Drake his first #1 in my chart and Rihanna's sixth. The song samples the Jamie XX's remix of Gil Scott-Heron's version of "I'll Take Care Of You", originally recorded by Bobby Bland in 1959. -zzP29emgpg

410. "Sexta-feira (Emprego Bom Já)" Boss AC (3 weeks) Reached #1: 5 February 2012 A very spot-on poignant yet humorous take on the social-economic crisis in Portugal, especially the unemployment among the young population, "Sexta-Feira" became Boss AC's third #1 in my chart. It ended up also as my year-end #1 of 2012, the only Portuguese song to date to do so. wqlurzmr5nU

409. "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" Kelly Clarkson (3 weeks) Reached #1: 15 January 2012 UK Chart Peak: #8 "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" became Kelly Clarkson's fourth #1 hit in my top, also topping the charts in Belgium, Slovenia and the USA. It was one of her new songs that were leaked online before the album's release in 2011. Xn676-fLq7I

408. "All I Ever Wanted" Airborne Toxic Event (2 weeks) Reached #1: 1 January 2012 California indie-rock band The Airborne Toxic Event scored a surprise #1 in my chart with "All I Ever Wanted". They went on to have 4 top 20 hits in my chart between 2012 and 2013. Their only UK chart hit was 2008's "Sometime Around Midnight". 43IpE8AsmMQ

407. "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" Áurea (3 weeks) Reached #1: 11 December 2011 Originally recorded in 1931 by Ozzie Nelson, "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" has been covered multiple times, most notably by Cass Elliott but also by The Beautiful South, Erasure, Robbie Williams, Ella Fitzgerald and Eddie Vedder. A cover by Portuguese singer Áurea Sousa was used in Christmas TV campaign for a mobile company and its seasonal arrangements made it the perfect material for a Christmas #1 in my chart. vZ1lnu254k4

406. "Wherever You Will Go" Charlene Soraia (1 week) Reached #1: 4 December 2011 UK Chart Peak: #3 "Wherever You Will Go" was originally a 2002 global hit for US band The Calling, hitting #10 in my chart. Used in a Twining TV advert, a version by British singer Charlene Soraia topped my chart. Her only other entry in my chart was "Ghost" that hit #18 in 2012. olr9vY7FFs0

405. "Wonders" The Sound Of Arrows (2 weeks) Reached #1: 20 October 2011 Swedish dance-pop duo The Sound Of Arrows scored their second #1 of the year with "Wonders". If Amy Winehouse hadn't died, they would probably have a third one with "M.A.G.I.C." which peaked at #2, held off on the topspot by the re-entry of "Back To Black" in August. fK0_PVaF8Pg

404. "We Found Love" Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris (3 weeks) Reached #1: 30 October 2011 UK Chart Peak: #1 First single from her "Talk That Talk" album, "We Found Love" became Rihanna's fifth #1 in my chart, as well as giving Calvin Harris his first chart-topper. The track is one of Rihanna's most comercially successful hits, selling one million copies in the UK alone and also topping the charts in Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the US, where it is her longest-running #1 to date. hyKjhDFNgcs

403. "Big" Sneaky Sound System (1 week) Reached #1: 23 October 2011 Australian electro-pop act Sneaky Sound System had two previous entries in my chart with "Pictures" and "UFO" which reached #38 in 2008 and #35 in 2009, respectively. By the time they hit #1 in my chart with "Big" the group was just down to Angus MacDonald and singer Connie Mitchell. In 2013, an Australian newspaper placed Mitchell #18 in a list of Australian best singers of all-time. bxqucQ9WqjE

402. "Papi" Jennifer Lopez (2 weeks) Reached #1: 9 October 2011 UK Chart Peak: #67 One of the stand-out tracks from the "Love?" album, "Papi" became Jennifer Lopez's fourth #1 in my chart, even bettering the #2 peak of the smash hit "On The Floor". 3p5P-E_Cwjg

Still a great listen

So this means that roughly one third of all the million selling singles come from these last ten years.

For die-hard Tori Amos fans, it must still be hard to accept that her biggest UK hit is a remix that pretty much repeats the same lines over and over again.

Sorry. Trouble should definitely be in it.
