  1. Welcome to the sixteenth edition of Kill or Save! We are now back in the 90s, and I'm sure that my fellow KoS host TQR is excitedly waiting for this game to begin. Here are the links to the previous games if you want to relive the action: 50s No.1s 60s No.1s; 70s No.1s; 80s No.1s; 90s No.1s; 00s No.1s; 10s No.1s 60s No.2s; 70s No.2s; 80s No.2s; 90s No.2s; 00s No. 2s 70s No.3s; 80s No.3s Christmas Special 2023 KoS HoF The Rolling Stones — Paint It, Black Donna Summer — I Feel Love Nena — 99 Red Balloons Madonna — Vogue Gorillaz — Dare Gotye ft. Kimbra — Somebody That I Used To Know The Pogues ft. Kirsty MacColl — Fairytale Of New York Barry Ryan — Eloise Queen — Somebody To Love A-Ha — Take On Me The Cardigans — Lovefool Sophie Ellis-Bextor — Murder On The Dancefloor David Bowie — Life On Mars? Tears for Fears- Mad World These are the rules:  Each song starts with 20 points. You can vote once a day. Since we all live in different parts of the world with all sorts of different timezones, please add a date at the top of your votes to avoid any type of confusion (e.g. 18/9/24, 18th of September, Wed 18 Sept, etc.). Each day you can give 4 points and subtract 6 points to any song on the board, you can split your points between as many songs as you want. Placeholder posts are allowed, but if you don't edit your votes within 5 minutes, then the next person can go and do their votes. Consecutive votes are not allowed. Before voting, please listen to the songs of each round and vote according to your own opinions, don't vote for songs because they're high/low on the board or because of your opinions about the artist, only the song matters. Make sure you copy and paste the most recent voter's scoreboard when you take your turn to score. For your own ease, ‘paste as plain text’ to get rid of the previous poster’s formatting. Then, delete their +/- scores, add yours, adjust the song’s points total and make your scores bold These are the UK No.3 Hits of the 90s: There are 5 qualifying rounds, we begin with the no.3 hits of 1990/91, then 92/93 and so on. 4, 5 or 6 songs from each round will enter the Grand Final, where we will decide the "best" UK No.3 Hit of the 90's 1990/91: 28 songs: the last 4 songs will enter the final. 1992/93: 27 songs: the last 4 songs will enter the final. 1994/95: 29 songs: the last 5 songs will enter the final. 1996/97: 43 songs: the last 6 songs will enter the final. 1998/99: 41 songs: the last 6 songs will enter the final.

  19. Welcome to another edition of Kill or Save. I suck at presenting stuff so I'll just go straight to the rules. If you wanna revisit the previous games, here are the links to their respective topics. 60s No.1s; 70s No.1s; 80s No.1s; 90s No.1s; 00s No.1s, 10s No.1 60s No.2s; 70s No.2s; 80s No.2s; 90s No.2s; 00s No. 2s 70s No.3s Christmas Special 2023 KoS HoF The Rolling Stones — Paint It, Black Donna Summer — I Feel Love Nena — 99 Red Balloons Madonna — Vogue Gorillaz — Dare The Pogues ft. Kirsty MacColl — Fairytale Of New York Barry Ryan — Eloise Queen — Somebody To Love A-Ha — Take On Me The Cardigans — Lovefool Sophie Ellis-Bextor — Murder On The Dancefloor David Bowie- Life on Mars? We've done this 12 times before, but here are the rules regardless: Each song starts with 20 points. You can vote once a day. Since we all live in different parts of the world with all sorts of different timezones, please add a date at the top of your votes to avoid any type of confusion (e.g. 3/7/24, 3th of July, Wed 3 Jul, etc.). Each day you can give 4 points and subtract 6 points to any song on the board, you can split your points between as many songs as you want. Placeholder posts are allowed, but if you don't edit your votes within 5 minutes, then the next person can go and do their votes. Consecutive votes are not allowed. Before voting, please listen to the songs of each round and vote according to your own opinions, don't vote for songs because they're high/low on the board or because of your opinions about the artist, only the song matters. Make sure you copy and paste the most recent voter's scoreboard when you take your turn to score. For your own ease, ‘paste as plain text’ to get rid of the previous poster’s formatting. Then, delete their +/- scores, add yours, adjust the song’s points total and make your scores bold. As an example, here's a random vote from last game's finale: Here are the UK No.3 songs of the 80's: There are 5 qualifying rounds, we begin with the no.3 hits of 1980/81, then 82/83 and so on. 5 songs from each round will enter the Grand Final, where we will decide the "best" UK No.3 Hit of the 80's 1980/81: 28 songs: the last 5 songs will enter the final. 1982/83: 32 songs: the last 5 songs will enter the final. 1984/85: 31 songs: the last 5 songs will enter the final. 1986/87: 33 songs: the last 5 songs will enter the final. 1988/89: 32 songs: the last 5 songs will enter the final.  So with that out of the way, let the killing and saving begin!

    Kill or Save: UK No.3 Hits of the 80s

    The last time we saw Tears for Fears in a KoS game, they placed second in the 80's Number 2s. This time Curt & Roland managed to win the whole thing by being the ultimate compromise candidate. "Mad World" rarely moved throughout the final until the last few days of voting, where it received a huge amount of support since some voters had lost their favourite songs. Who would've guessed that a song with the lyrics "The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had" would be generally popular with deadpoolers? The Gary Jules version of this song might have had a higher peak in the charts, but the original now has the highly prestigious "Won the best UK number 3 of the 80s according to the deathlist forums"™ award, whilst the cover version was going nowhere, going nowhere in the 2000s No.1's game. The other artists in the top 3 were familiar faces in these games, since they already had some decent placements in previous KoS installments, so we can tell who are the forum favourites purely based on the final results of these games. Mad World peaked at number 3 for 3 weeks in November 1982, with only Culture Club's "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me", Eddy Grant's "I Don't Wanna Dance" & Dionne Warwick's "Heartbreaker" reaching a higher position. This is how the final round played out: 01 Tears for Fears- Mad World 02 Kate Bush- Running Up That Hill 03 The Bangles- Walk Like an Egyptian 04 The Vapors- Turning Japanese 05 The Damned- Eloise 06 Cyndi Lauper- Time After Time 07 Madness- Baggy Trousers (winner in my heart ) 08 Ultravox- Dancing with Tears in My Eyes 09 Tina Turner- We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome) 10 Queen- A Kind of Magic 11 Queen- I Want It All 12 Aztec Camera- Somewhere in My Heart 13 Roy Orbison- You Got It 14 Soft Cell- Say Hello, Wave Goodbye 15 Eurythmics- Who’s That Girl? 16 Bronski Beat- Smalltown Boy 17 Heart- Alone 18 New Order- Blue Monday 88 19 Yazoo- Don’t Go 20 Michael Jackson- Bad 21 Earth, Wind & Fire- Let’s Groove 22 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark- Souvenir 23 Jona Lewie- Stop the Cavalry 24 Womack & Womack- Teardrops 25 The J. Geils Band- Centerfold (spotify playlist for this game) We found these 25 singles kinda funny and kinda sad, these were the worst No.3's of the 80s according to us: Dennis Waterman with the Dennis Waterman Band- I Could Be So Good For You Fiddler’s Dram- Day Trip to Bangor Tony Capstick and the Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band- Capstick Comes Home/The Sheffield Grinder The Nolans- I’m in the Mood for Dancing Sheena Easton- 9 to 5 The Kids from “Fame”- Starmaker Julio Iglesias- Quiéreme Mucho (Yours) David Bowie & Bing Crosby- Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy Wham!- Young Guns (Go For It!) Adam & The Ants- Ant Rap Paul McCartney & The Frog Chorus- We All Stand Together Sarah Brightman & Paul Miles-Kingston- Pie Jesu Break Machine- Street Dance Joe Fagin- That’s Livin’ Alright Red Box- Lean On Me (Ah-Li-Ayo) Cliff Richard & Sarah Brightman- All I Ask of You Comic Relief Presents Mel And Kim- Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree George Michael- I Want Your Sex Cliff Richard- Some People Samantha Fox- Touch Me (I Want Your Body) Cliff Richard- I Just Don’t Have the Heart Liverpool FC- Anfield Rap (Red Machine in Full Effect) Milli Vanilli- Girl You Know It’s True D Mob ft.
