Kimbra — Somebody That I Used To Know -6 16 OneRepublic — Counting Stars +4 09 Harry Styles — Sign Of The Times I haven't voted in over a week as I was getting bored and could see that non of my favourites were in with a chance (and the songs that were are ones I really don't like), but as we are down to the final 3 I'll happily cause a bit of honest disruption.

It didn't do that well in its heat did it? Those scores were fucking nonsense. Sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commtech Sio Bibble 2,044 Posted August 17 Well although I'm not particularly happy about the result, I have very much enjoyed the game, when we inevitably do a 2010s No.2s count me in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,396 Posted August 17 There it is. This marathon is over. The best UK No.1 hit of the 2010s is…King by Years & Years! Staggering, then, that you lot collectively decided to do things differently, opting instead to crown Somebody That I Used To Know, the artsy classic by Gotye, as the UK’s best chart topper from last decade. Featuring those wonky guitar samples, the dulcet tones of Kimbra and a melody from a nursery rhyme, how could one possibly arrive at a different conclusion? It has aged better than most, to be fair. And now it has won such a prestigious accolade as Kill or Save winner on Deathlist dot net, maybe Gotye and Kimbra can enjoy a well-deserved career relaunch. Here they are to play us out. Be sure to sing along with the fucking wall. Wonderful. If you’re that way inclined, I’d also suggest looking up the rest of Gotye’s internationally sucessful album Making Mirrors if you hadn’t already. Not all of it is brilliant, but all of it is interesting. Anyway, here’s how the grand final panned out for our top-25: Gotye ft. Kimbra — Somebody That I Used To Know OneRepublic — Counting Stars Harry Styles — Sign Of The Times Clean Bandit ft. Jess Glynne — Rather Be Daft Punk ft. Pharrell Williams — Get Lucky Years & Years — King Cee Lo Green — Forget You David Guetta ft. Sia — Titanium Lil Nas X — Old Town Road Ella Henderson — Ghost John Newman — Love Me Again Pitbull ft. Kesha — Timber Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg — California Gurls Clean Bandit ft. Zara Larson — Symphony Lady Gaga & Beyonce — Telephone Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars — Uptown Funk Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris — We Found Love Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa — One Kiss Lorde — Royals Owl City — Fireflies Camila Cabello ft. Young Thug — Havana Lewis Capaldi — Someone You Loved Pharell Williams — Happy Yolanda Be Cool Vs D Cup — We No Speak Americano Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper — Shallow And, as ever, here are the shittest 25 of the game: X Factor Finalists 2011 — Wishing On A Star Military Wives With Gareth Malone — Wherever You Are Helping Haiti — Everybody Hurts Cher Lloyd — Swagger Jagger X Factor Finalists 2010 — Heroes Joe McElderry — The Climb Robin Thicke ft. T.I. & Pharrell — Blurred Lines Gary Barlow ft. Commonwealth Band — Sing Psy — Gangnam Style The Script ft. Will.I.Am — Hall Of Fame Sam & The Womp — Bom Bom One Direction — One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks) Band Aid 30 — Do They Know It’s Christmas? Gareth Malone’s All Star Choir — Wake Me Up Sam Smith — Writing’s On The Wall Ed Sheeran — Sing The Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Choir — A Bridge Over You Charlie Puth ft. Meghan Trainor — Marvin Gaye Artists For Grenfell — Bridge Over Troubled Water Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee ft. Justin Bieber — Despacito Ed Sheeran — Shape Of You LadBaby — I Love Sausage Rolls Tones And I — Dance Monkey LadBaby — We Built This City Lil Dicky ft. Chris Brown — Freaky Friday Proud of you all for getting rid of LadCunty as swiftly as you did. Well done guys. Now, prepare for a bit of whiplash: for the next game, we’re rewinding all the way back to, well, the start of the UK charts: the 1950s. Even if this might be outside your musical tastes/knowledge, I do hope you’ll all be brave enough to join in with the fun there. It might be an education. It’ll definitely be a good laugh. 2 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clorox Bleachman 2,432 Posted August 17 I would have it in my top 5 so the result is good enough for me. Sure, it was overplayed to hell in 2012 in a way that no songs are now (due to radios being behind the times, in my opinion). I love progression in my pop, and the way the tension builds for the first 3 minutes is unlike much else. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
