I’d kind of guessed before the round started that the current top 3 would be where they are (and rightly so), but I am stunned by the so far successful run of a Christmas song in July, great though it may be.

Cmon @Imelda, it’s a fucking Christmas song.  (Though best Christmas song’ is a fine idea for one of these lists!)

Edit: that’s funny TQR posting that at the same time.

Pretty good song what just got eliminated but it’s nothing like the the top 5 or so.  The six below BTO’s entry are garbage, and this contest doesn’t begin until they’re discarded.  In Sir Creep’s usual Humble Opinion.

We’re on course to smash through three rounds before the 00’s No.1s finish the first, despite the games starting within 24hrs of each other.

This set of songs is not really setting me alight. If I remember the middle round of 70s No.1s was less than inspiring

 

There are some good songs there but probably just enough to fill a top 5. Shocked that something as original as Loving You got junked so early

It's her voice that turns me off.  In places she sounds like a worn-out blackboard rubber.  Sends the dog running out of the room.

I have similar feelings regarding the Bee Gees and Stylistics!
