Actually, no, this bonus round is shit.

NEW BONUS ROUND

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 4 April 2004 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

(please do not answer the original bonus round.)

I'm going for USHER.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 4 April 2004 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Right. Of all those singles that were in the picks and didn't make the top 40, it would appear that only one features in the top 75, and that's the Distillers at #48. Running on that basis, scores are as follows:

Plagenhoef 295 (26)
Jellybean 277 (21)
Alex 269 (27)
Cis 264 (18)
Ed O 244 (40)

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Monday, 5 April 2004 10:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Who are i) The Ordinary Boys ii) Narcotic Thrust?

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Monday, 5 April 2004 10:55 (twenty-one years ago)

The Ordinary Boys are a moany British guitar band from somewhere like Woking. Their songs are like the Libertines but without the fun.

Narcotic Thrust are Dave Pearce Favourites.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Monday, 5 April 2004 11:02 (twenty-one years ago)

THE ZUTONS – You Will You Won’t #20 (I sympathise with Swygart's like of this song)
WILEY – Wot Do U Call It #18
G-UNIT – Wanna Get To Know U #7 (horrible, so obviously top 10)
BIG BROVAZ – We Wanna Thank You #5 (as above)
ORDINARY BOYS – Week In Week Out #29
22-20’s – Why Don’t You Do It For Me #33
AMY WINEHOUSE – In My Bed/You Send Me Flying #37 (not a singles artist, presumably)
NARCOTIC THRUST – I Like It #28 (a great single, but where would the justice be if it outcharted the amazing "Safe From Harm" from 2002?)
THE RASMUS – In The Shadows #3 (Hooray! I reckon this is a fantastic song, haterz be damned. And it's not even close to their best song)
MICHELLE McMANUS – Meaning Of Love #2
BEYONCE – Naughty Girl #8 (Go away, you are rubbish Beyonce)
PAUL VAN DYK – Crush #16
SPECIAL D – Come With Me #10 (Another one of my favourite Eurosingles from 2003... this is better than any Scooter song ever, and just as daft)

#33: Nelly Furtado
Bonus round: Usher
#1: McFly, still. Though should be The Rasmus on merit. "I've been WATCHING! I've been WAITING! IN THE SHADOWS!!!" = GENIUS.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 5 April 2004 11:06 (twenty-one years ago)

As I said above, but making it clearer (i.e. removing it from the context of my crowded post), Narcotic Thrust put out one of the best dance singles of 2002, "Safe From Harm". This is the follow-up, fine, but nowhere near as good as SFH.

Who charts higher next week -USHER?

― jellybean (jellybean), Monday, 5 April 2004 18:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Call it a day there, then?

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 07:16 (twenty-one years ago)

no.. not yet... I want to swap.. Michelle for #1.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 07:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Go on then.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 07:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, that's all. Michelle for #1. Meaning McFly not for #1. This is bsaed upon reading 5CIHH is one of the lowest-selling #1s of the last 12 months, leading to the idea it won't last two weeks but I'm probably going to be wrong wrong wrong wrong.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 09:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Early midweek rumours suggest that it won't be McFly. And that one of you will have broken the record for the most off with a prediction by 60 places.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 09:17 (twenty-one years ago)

That's what the oracle of Tooting Woolworths is saying too. But it was putting Twista at #1 last week.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 09:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Me and Rasmus, right? Heck, I've been busy...

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 09:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Narcotic Thrust have been around a while, they remixed Apollo 440's 'Krupa' when it was out ('96) and are generally hard house stalwarts with a bit of breakage thrown in - not much cop tho

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 11:11 (twenty-one years ago)

bugger, i won't even get a point for Rasmus then, tho my first instinct was to put them down for the top spot

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 11:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Zappi - nah, both HIM and Darude were from Finland if I remember right.

Lest we forget, the biggest Finnish hit before In The Shadows was by BOMFUNK MCS! Who were shit. Unlike The Rasmus, who are brilliant.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 11:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I dunno, they obviously have nothing to do with Alan Erasmus then...

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 11:21 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, midweeks are through, looks like The Rasmus story was a fake. Dreadful week for Michelle, Big Brovaz, and G-G-G-G-G-G-G-just fuck off already. Good week for Special D, though.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 13:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah, pants, just as I changed, 'n' everything.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 13:20 (twenty-one years ago)

'Freestyler' is surely better than 'In The Shadows'

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 13:24 (twenty-one years ago)

It's the week that crap dance struck back. Then again, the Zutons are doing alright too, so things can't be too bad. And if anyone can work out quite what it will take for the public to love Amy Winehouse, please let her know.

Still, it is a thin week this week. That's cos next week is going to be quite heavy-duty...

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 14:34 (twenty-one years ago)

that Zutons song...god it reminds me of some horrible glam-rock car-crash circa '74 - should be a good thing but isn't.

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

This is still better than the bloody Ordinary Boys.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 14:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, and the albums chart is its usual thrilling self.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 14:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Dreadful week for Michelle

can i be the first to make the "the fat lady really is singing" joke?

― zappi (joni), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 16:46 (twenty-one years ago)

No, you can't.

― Fishman, Tuesday, 6 April 2004 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)
