Guess there’s a small chance its streaming points did drop last week if its paid for sales increased. It moved 16-18 on the sales chart but on a slightly increasing market.

“Rover” by S1mba Not Top 10 but “Starbucks” by A Not sure if we’d count something like “Life On Mars”

Livin’ it up in survivor heaven is Ja Rule. This was the lead single from his 3rd album “Pain Is Love” which went on to be a huge success. Originally it only reached #27, but following the success of “Always On Time” it had a re-release and reached #5 in July 2002. 8th: Ja Rule featuring Case - Livin’ It Up 13/33 votes (39%) 9th: Destiny’s Child featuring T.I. and Lil Wayne - Soldier 12/30 votes (40%) 10th: Sergio Mendes featuring The Black Eyed Peas - Mas Que Nada 12/32 votes (32%)

Alesha has been brushed up: the Mis-Teeq singer, Strictly winner and BGT judge had a few big solo hits in the later ‘00s. “The Boy Does Nothing” reached #5 in November 2008 before hanging on in the charts for long enough to make the 2009 year end list. 5th: Alesha Dixon - The Boy Does Nothing 13/33 votes (39%) 6th: Sean Paul - Temperature 14/31 votes (45%) 7th: Feist - 1234 10/32 votes (31%) 8th: Cascada - What Hurts The Most 12/34 votes (35%) 9th: Nickelback - Someday 10/30 votes (33%) 10th: Westlife - What Makes A Man 21/33 votes (64%)

Kelly for me - I don’t think she needed to be here for a second time.

It’s the 1st ultimate in the 101-200 series! 😃

I only just found out that “(Don’t You) Forget About Me” wasn’t written by Simple Minds. It’s wonderful though - such a warm emotive track. I’ve come to appreciate “Seven Nation Army” even more over the years: I think it’s totally timeless and transcends its genre. And even the football and political uses haven’t spoiled it for me.

Glad you enjoyed this! One of the singles from this is right up with my favourite songs of the decade. I won’t say which as I’m planning to do a Muse singles rate sometime this year!

There was also this, where “Common People” and “Born Slippy” were 1st and 2nd respectively! https://www.buzzjack.com/forums/topic/256919-buzzjacks-favourite-no-2-of-the-90s/page/56/#comment-7234697

Winners so far have been 2 from the ‘80s, 2 from the ‘90s and 2 from the ‘00s. Which decade will be getting its 3rd win? I haven’t actually checked precisely what’s left but I assume it’s all from those 3 decades. “I’m With You” is nice but not a big Avril highlight for me. I don’t think the power ballad style entirely suits her, though I do like “When You’re Gone” a lot. “Basket Case” was a brilliant breakthrough hit for Green Day; such a bundle of energy.

A really strong little group here. I love the quirkiness of “Shifter” so it’s another electronic winner. 8 Timo Maas Featuring MC Chickaboo Shifter His last Top 40 and an excellent dance track: I love the stream of consciousness urban poetry style rhythmic vocal on this 8 Moby We Are All Made Of Stars Another captivating track from Moby: the swirling guitar part against the slightly robotic vocal line really make this great 7 Shakedown At Night Only Top 40 for this group formed by some Swiss brothers: a very strong dance track with an incredibly memorable riff 7 Cosmic Gate Exploration Of Space 2nd and last Top 40 for the German DJs: this is a really electrifying trance number and I enjoy it more than "Fire Wire" 7 4 Strings (Take Me Away) Into The Night 1st Top 40 for this Dutch vocal trance group and it's lovely: one of thode euphoric tracks with a soaring female vocal 6 Mary J. Blige No More Drama The title track from her album: quite a serious track after its dancehall style predecessors, but good and well performed 6 Holly Valance Kiss Kiss 924th #1 and 1st hit for this "Neighbours" actor based on "Simarik" by Tarkan from 1997: it's a very cleverly made track 5 Tiga And Zyntherius Sunglasses At Night Only Top 40 for this Canadian teaming up with a Finnish producer to remake the 1983 Corey Hart track: it's interesting 5 Tweet Oops (Oh My) 1st and biggest hit for US RnB singer Charlene Keys: I enjoy the pulsating production on this but the song itself is lacking 4 allSTARS* Back When/Going All The Way Their last hit: both of these are perfectly pleasant songs, though a little syrupy and nothing I will feel the need to revisit 3 Lisbon Lions Featuring Martin O'Neill And The Celt The Best Day Of Our Lives A song about Celtic winning the 1967 European cup: not sure why it was a hit now but for a football song it's not too bad 2002 Week 20: #1285 18/05/2002 Ronan Keating If Tomorrow Never Comes 1 {1}-2-4-5-5-10-12-15-17-20-23-29-33-46-58->15 #1286 18/05/2002 H And Claire DJ 3 {3}-12-26-37-47-55-63-49-34-37-69->11 #1287 18/05/2002 Nigel And Marvin Follow Da Leader 5 {5}-8-14-20-24-37-55-67-58-71->10 #1288 18/05/2002 Russell Watson And Faye Tozer Someone Like You 10 {10}-23-36-51->4 #1289 18/05/2002 Aaliyah Rock The Boat 12 {12}-26-42-55-65-67-75->7 #1290 18/05/2002 Hundred Reasons Silver 15 {15}-43-73->3 #1291 18/05/2002 Bellefire All I Want Is You 18 {18}-32-45-71->4 #1292 18/05/2002 The Cooper Temple Clause Who Needs Enemies? 22 {22}-53->2 #1293 18/05/2002 The Hives Main Offender 24 {24}-48->2 #1294 18/05/2002 Lost Witness Did I Dream (Song To The Siren) 28 {28}-49-75->3 #1295 18/05/2002 P.O.D.

That Grace Davies song is an absolute whirlwind! Had to go for that. Ariana 2nd - I think that style does really suit her. Limahl probably 3rd - not a bad cover.

Wow - my 1st ever song contest win. Thanks very much for all the votes - especially Wardy, Jade and Lewis for the 12s. Apologies if it was an obvious entry for some - I know it is from one of the most owned albums of the ‘00s decade. As a 16 year old I actually became hyper-obsessed with this album. I probably listened to it more times than Joseph’s listened to “As It Was”. My taste has thankfully become much more varied since but this particular track still has a big place in my heart. “White Flag” comes close but it’s my favourite Dido song bar none and I think the production is really special. So I felt I had to send it to this. Thanks all for indulging me and for the great other song picks, and Mangø for a brilliant hosting job!

Well this is nail biting - I know Lewis said he enjoyed “Take My Hand” in the listenthrough so hopefully that’s a positive sign!

I should have included “Labour” in the update as a recent-ish song: non mover at #99 this week. “Close To You” was indeed heading out: #97 was its low point.

Oh I didn’t have Jack down for M83 at all - thought Jim was a good shout. Great pick anyway.

The competition is hotting up but not for Sean Paul. “Temperature” was his 3rd US #1, but here peaked at #11 in March 2006. It has more than 1 billion Spotify streams and might now be considered his signature song. 6th: Sean Paul - Temperature 14/31 votes (45%) 7th: Feist - 1234 10/32 votes (31%) 8th: Cascada - What Hurts The Most 12/34 votes (35%) 9th: Nickelback - Someday 10/30 votes (33%) 10th: Westlife - What Makes A Man 21/33 votes (64%)

Marching out are Destiny’s Child featuring T.I. and Lil Wayne, who reached #4 with their 2nd single from their final album “Destiny Fulfilled” in February 2005. Despite peaking higher it was actually outsold by the follow up “Girl” which made the year end Top 100. 9th: Destiny’s Child featuring T.I. and Lil Wayne - Soldier 12/30 votes (40%) 10th: Sergio Mendes featuring The Black Eyed Peas - Mas Que Nada 12/32 votes (32%)

Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it now! 🥰

Despite all their digging for gold Kanye and Jamie only found a bronze medal. It samples the 1954 Ray Charles track “I Got A Woman” and was a US #1, but peaked at #2 here in October 2005. It was the #35 of 2005 but also the #110 of 2006 thanks to its strong downloads. 3rd: Kanye West & Jamie Foxx - Gold Digger 16/33 votes (48%) 4th: Max Graham VS Yes - Owner Of A Lonely Heart 14/32 votes (44%) 5th: Pink - Trouble 12/32 votes (38%) 6th: Ms Dynamite - It Takes More 16/33 votes (48%) 7th: The Manic Street Preachers - The Masses Against The Classes 9/33 votes (27%) 8th: BBMak - Back Here 20/30 votes (67%) 9th: Blue - Curtain Falls 15/32 votes (47%) 10th: Natasha Bedingfield - I Wanna Have Your Babies 15/31 votes (48%)
