1999 UK Official Charts Number One Hits SURVIVOR (Round 2)

[Haiku Rewrites]

Some of the first few to get their wings clipped and left without a prayer.

28 songs have survived onto Round 2! Britney Spears and The Vengaboys topped Moopy's vote. Will they be able to do it again? Ronan Keating on the other hand just scrapped through while his bandmates got the chop (Ann Murray FUMING their cover of her got 0 votes) and Lou Bega got 9 votes, ironically the same amount of names he listed in his song. Who is the Jessica of Moopy I wonder.

Results:
30. Westlife - Flying Without Wings (30th October) - Round 1 (13.3%)
31. Boyzone - When The Going Gets Tough (13th March) - Round 1 (6.7%)
31. Westlife - Swear It Again (1st May) - Round 1 (6.7%)
31. Robbie Williams - It's Only Us (20th November) - Round 1 (6.7%)
31. Westlife - I Have A Dream (25th December) - Round 1 (6.7%)
35. Chef - Salty Balls (2nd January) - Round 1 (4.4%)
36. 911 - A Little Bit More (23rd January) - Round 1 (2.2%)
36. Cliff Richard - The Millenium Prayer (4th December) - Round 1 (2.2%)
36. Westlife - Seasons in the Sun (25th December) - Round 1 (2.2%)
39. Boyzone - You Needed Me (22nd May) - Round 1 (0.0%)

Did you just give up on the poll?

I got halfway through typing it and while going to hit the p hit the enter button.

I'm typing it up fully right now

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

this wouldn't have happened on a French keyboard (probably still would )

OK POLL FIXED

VOTING OPEN

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Who can forget THE OFFSPRINGS

 

[RS]

14 is not enough

Sorry Praise You and Sweet Like Chocolate

 

[straightorbroken]

More were added after I voted Tough whittling it down to 14 though.

 

[straightorbroken]

Excuse me, but Lift Me Up was not there after even my first edit, DYOUKNOWHATTAMEAN?

Edit: oh wait it was and I voted for it . Phew.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

You can edit your vote.

 

[VoR]

I also fell for the post-publish edit. Fixed now.

Who can forget THE OFFSPRINGS

Motown’s best

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Ps @Haiku it's Wamdue not Warmdue

 

[BoysForSeles]

God that Martine McCutcheon song has always been FOUL.

 

[VoR]

I love it!

But it’s no I Got You or I’m Over You.

 

[straightorbroken]

The original and definitive moment.



Sending Shockwaves all around the music industry, but enough about her hair.

 

[VoR]

That Edyta Gorniak album is like Carole King’s Tapestry but for early 00s hits.

 

[straightorbroken]

I think I even prefer it to the Robert Miles version. The amazing instrumental bit that goes off 2 minutes in is just one of the peaks.

 

[VoR]

I love both versions in very different ways. The Edyta version is a tantalising glimpse into a world where Maria Naylor didn’t have the vocal capacity of an asthmatic sparrow.

 

[Inner Smile]

Fuck I love most of these tracks

 

[Inner Smile]

And I still think Genie In A Bottle is a classic

 

[Raining on Me]

God that Martine McCutcheon song has always been FOUL.

My brother had it as his wedding song in 2001. It was as horrible as you might expect

 

[Raining on Me]

Bring It All Back not as popular as I feared. GOOD.

More votes needed for Blame It On Michael Fish though please

 

[Devil]

Shocked (but pleased to be honest) that one of Ronan’s few decent efforts made round two.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

3 songs currently tying for 19th to 21st place (and at risk of getting the chop)!
