UK No 2s of 2013

"Happy" by miles

on musical quality alone it's between t-swift and disclosure but probably gonna vote "ding-dong!" on principle

Oh man I had totally forgotten about Ding Dong. Joyous times.

The best is White Noise by some distance, it just felt like it kicked something off this year.

Oh man I had totally forgotten about Ding Dong. Joyous times.

or the BBC DEATH SONG as the mail called it iirc

if it was called BBC DEATH SONG i'd've voted for it here

"Happy."

have heard one (1) of these songs, not counting ding dong

top 5: White Noise, Happy, ...Trouble, Berzerk, maybe Story of My Life or Bruno. But yeah, gotta vote "Ding-Dong!"

There was no Ding-Dong on Now 85 or Now 86. It's a disgrace.

Tempted to vote p!nk since I don't think many others will but gotta be honest & vote disclosure

Worst prob passenger but few things have pissed me off more recently than that Chris Martin glottal stop cunt going "oh-oh, it's a passion" on the bastille travesty

Thatcher was 87 when she died, maybe that's why xp

"so good to me"

good lord that "let her go" song is terrible. they've recently started playing the hell out of it over here too :(

Has to be 'Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead' for me!

What version of Ding Dong is the one that made it to the charts and why? I know Glee made a version of it, is that the one?

Oh, ok it seems like it was the original version of the song. That's interesting.

Following the death of former United Kingdom Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on April 8, 2013, anti-Thatcher sentiment prompted campaigns on social media networks to bring Ella Fitzgerald's version of the song to the top on the UK Singles Chart. By April 9, 2013, the campaign instead targeted the 1939 film soundtrack version of the song after The Official Chart Company confirmed its eligibility.[6] The next day, "Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead" had reached number 10 in the midweek charts, and was "on course to be one of the top three sellers by the end of the week".[7] Ruth Duccini and Jerry Maren who portrayed Munchkins in the 1939 film said they were upset by the campaign.[8] On April 12, 2013, the BBC announced that it would not play the track in full on Radio 1 during The Official Chart on Sunday 14 April, but would carry a news item explaining why the song was in the charts during which a short clip would be played.[9] The move prompted accusations of censorship, heightened by the BBC's status as a publicly funded broadcaster. Padraig Reidy of Index on Censorship said "The chart show is a show of record. They should have played the song without comment [...] It's only 51 seconds long and everyone would have forgotten about it this time next week."[10] The song entered number two in the UK Singles Chart on April 14, 2013 ― for the week ending date April 20, 2013 ― selling 52,605 copies, kept off the top spot by Need U (100%) by Duke Dumont and singer A*M*E.[11] The Daily Mail claimed that the "Ding Dong" song was profiting Andrew Lloyd Webber, a Conservative supporter, who received royalties from a theatrical version of the song.[12]
In Ireland, the song also broke into the charts, where it became the oldest song ever to re-enter the chart when it appeared at number thirty three on the Irish Singles Chart on 11 April 2013.[13]

Malinchak and Pharrel for me out of these.

any vote that isn't disclosure is wrong

So Good to Me still gives me warm fuzzies every time I play it.
