Well Tony was too far up my list for me to make a realistic challenge for the title now (11 extra points)

Might be a good scavy hunt category

15th August

Updated for Tony Bennett We are now between 2008 & 2015 both of which ended on 14 hits However the other year that ended on 14 was 2022 and at the same stage last year we still only had 4 hits

Tony Bennett - Not a hit here

Prices are now no cheaper than supermarkets and the stock has been dwindling for years. Competition from stores like B&M can't have helped either

Was that the day Errol Brown sacked his agent?

At this stage I am not too fussed about which of these qualify but all of the bottom four give I have reservations about Bachman -Turner Overdrive — You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet - This is overplayed as a generic seventies guitar track, not too bad but over exposed Greg Lake — I Believe In Father Christmas - when my daughter was in The Brownies the opening salvo of the festive season was the Rainbows/Brownies/Guides/Rangers/Trefoil Guild carol concert at a local church - one year a guide leader thought a rendition of this from the guide troop would make a good addition to the proceedings. I managed to keep a straight face for the performance (almost) Gloria Gaynor — Never Can Say Goodbye - Seriously is this the same woman who will proclaim "I Will Survive"? Hot Chocolate — You Sexy Thing - I quite like this but again it is probably over exposed

Remember - every brother has the potential to turn into a creepy uncle - pictorial evidence

I don't like being prescriptive on any issues of democracy

Discounting the top six qualifiers this means that 255 points have to be removed this is essentially about 5 days of voting but if everyone only downvoted the tracks outside the top six we could be done in two days. I am currently OK with the Top 4 but there last two places I think there will be a lot of churn Maybe this will finish over the weekend

I did put this on because I couldn't place it exactly It is like her bigger hits but without the catch. I am in no hurry to downvote it as there as still tracks that are bland beyond belief but it probably won't get any upvotes from me
