While I was researching this game I decided to see what happened to the artists that I didn't know, was very surprised when I learned that Frederik got involved in cannabis trafficking in the Philippines and then got murdered.

Was waiting for Jimmy Carter to die before I created this, but we're nearing mid-December and he's still here, so here it is. The Rules (Mostly copied from DP ): Make a list of 10 political candidates and order them from most likely to least likely. You get 10 points for first place, 9 for second, 8 for third, etc. You can pick Presidents, Vice Presidents, Prime Ministers, Deputy Prime Ministers, Dictators, Parliamentarians, Royals, Supreme Justices, Losing Candidates, etc. They can be from any UN member state, and from any election within said nations. One extra point is awarded for unique picks. One extra point is awarded for murders/unnatural deaths, as long as you don't commit them yourselves... You can't pick someone who will be executed. Send a minimum of 2 subs, you can send more subs later if your picks die prematurely. Your picks need to have an English Wikipedia page (you can't create one for the purposes of this game) Although I prefer having English obits, it is not a requirement. Anything that convinces me that your pick is dead is enough. Send me your teams via PM or post them below. Entries close on December 31st. Good luck!

ffs had problems making this thread and had to do this intro tons of times so I got lazy and copied the last one , so no, the rule doesn't apply to this one.

1960/61: the last 5 songs will enter the final 5/1/25 22 Bobby Vee - Take Good Care of My Baby +2 21 Elvis Presley - Stuck on You +1 21 Anthony Newley - Strawberry Fair +1 (+1 for how insane it is) 20 The Avons - Seven Little Girls Sitting in the Back Seat 20 Freddy Cannon - Way Down Yonder in New Orleans 20 Emile Ford & The Checkmates - On a Slow Boat to China 20 Perry Como - Delaware 20 Jimmy Jones - Handy Man 20 Cliff Richard & The Shadows - Nine Times Out of Ten 20 Johnny & The Hurricanes - Rocking Goose 20 Connie Francis - My Heart Has a Mind of Its Own 20 Nina & Frederik - Little Donkey 20 Matt Monro - Portrait of My Love 20 Cliff Richard & The Shadows - Theme for a Dream 20 Helen Shapiro - Don’t Treat Me Like a Child 20 The Shadows - The Frightened City 20 Clarence “Frogman” Henry - But I Do 20 Cliff Richard & The Shadows - A Girl Like You 20 Billy Fury - Halfway to Paradise 20 Petula Clark - Romeo 20 Cliff Richard - When the Girl in Your Arms Is the Girl in Your Heart 17 Tommy Bruce & The Bruisers - Ain’t Misbehavin’ -3 17 Johnny Burnette - You’re Sixteen -3

Sorry for the delay, I got busy and I couldn’t get no sleep until it was very late. Well, there you have it! After 3 months of killing and saving songs we decided that Insomnia by Faithless was the best UK No.3 hit of the 90s. A very appropriate win for a very 90s song with one of the most iconic drops in music history. In the qualifying round, Insomnia got little support at the beginning, but as the round went on the song rose like yeast and remained comfortably in that round's top 6. And in the final it was a similar story, a few points at the start and then it was a permanent fixture at the top of the table. So even if the group was Faithless, the KoS voters were faithful to them. Going through the list, No Doubt and Fatboy Slim yet again reach the Top 5 after doing it in the 90s No's 1s game, so I'd say those 2 are the forum's favourite 90s artists that haven't won a game yet. Insomnia originally peaked at Number 27 in 1995, but a re-release a year later got the song to number 3 for 1 week in October 1996, with the Spice Girls “Say You’ll be There” and Boyzone’s “Words” reaching a higher position. This is how the final round played out: 01 Faithless - Insomnia 02 No Doubt - Just a Girl 03 EMF - Unbelievable 04 Annie Lennox - Little Bird/Love Song for a Vampire 05 Fatboy Slim - Gangster Trippin 06 Suede - Stay Together 07 The Waterboys - The Whole of the Moon 08 Youssou N’Dour ft. Neneh Cherry - 7 Seconds 09 Everything But The Girl - Missing (Todd Terry Remix) 10 Erasure - Blue Savannah 11 Roxette - It Must Have Been Love 12 Savage Garden - To the Moon and Back 13 Shania Twain - That Don’t Impress Me Much 14 Spin Doctors - Two Princes 15 Stereophonics - The Bartender and the Thief 16 The Sisters of Mercy ft. Ofra Haza - Temple of Love (1992) 17 Suede - Trash 18 The Seahorses - Love Is The Law 19 Radiohead - Paranoid Android 20 Enigma - Return to Innocence 21 Shania Twain - Man! I Feel Like a Woman 22 The Source ft. Candi Staton - You Got The Love (Now Voyager Mix) 23 Lauryn Hill - Doo Wop (That Thing) 24 Luther Vandross & Mariah Carey - Endless Love 25 Billy Joel - The River of Dreams (spotify playlist) Even if my top 3 favourite songs didn't make the final, I still think we did a decent job with this song selection (still angry about Scatman though). And these were the dark forces we fought in the clear moon light, the worst No.3's of the 90s. John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John - The Grease Megamix Michael Bolton - How Am I Supposed to Live Without You 2 In A Room - Wiggle It 49ers - Touch Me Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart Right Said Fred - Don’t Talk Just Kiss Shabba Ranks - Mr. Loverman Inner Circle - Sweat (A La La La La Long) Boyzone - So Good Mighty Morph’n Power Rangers - Power Rangers The Rembrandts - I’ll Be There for You Oasis - Whatever R. Kelly - She’s Got That Vibe East 17 - Hey Child Goldbug - Whole Lotta Love Steven Houghton - Wind Beneath My Wings Peter Andre - All About Us Mariah Carey - Always Be My Baby Babybird - You’re Gorgeous Vengaboys - We Like to Party! (The Vengabus) Celine Dion & R. Kelly - I’m Your Angel Cleopatra - Cleopatra’s Theme Boyzone - Every Day I Love You Will Smith - Miami Five - Got The Feelin’ Thank you all for voting and making this game work, 60's game will be up soon. (No Beatles songs btw, so no heated Fab Four discussions this time)

I'm coming to say that I got a little problem irl and I'm probably not going to be able to finish this game and start the 60's one until late tomorrow. Sorry in advance.

I'll play again

Forgot to post earlier, drol won the 2024 Electoral Deadpool.

Nigel McCrery as my new sub please.

John Capodice was a 2024 DDP pick, does he still count as a hit? https://metro.co.uk/2025/01/02/ace-ventura-general-hospital-actor-john-capodice-dies-83-22280555/
