The UK had other singing competition shows? :coffee2:

Pop Idol directly led to American Idol!

 

As we head into the Top 40, let's look at how many songs are left from each year:

 

2008: 11/12

 

2009: 9/12

 

2010: 10/12

 

2011: 6/12

 

2012: 4/12

 

And y'all tried to tell me 2010 was the weakest year! Looks like I was right! Again!

Beat of My Drum is still in, right?

 

I lowkey lost.

Wait, I liked this St. Etienne song better than the other one.  How did it place lower? :eek: 

 

And I don't remember anything about that Nero song, but based on the score I gave it, I must've liked it :-x

Deserved better, it's a bop :WAP:

I actually liked quite a few songs but I tried to be harsh so my faves could go further :skull:

No big loses today other than Olly Murs. I kinda bopped to Heart Skips a Beat back then. It even made me download his album and bop a bit :chick1:

 

The way my faves all still here. I was expecting all of them to go out early like usual with these rates :skull:

Down with the trumpets was fun

I’m surprised this was knocked out so early, even if this (or their other song in this rate) doesn’t rank among their best songs

A soupcon of Fiona, a heaping cup of Scissor Sisters! These voters weren't there...

Two of my favorite artist, and yet, it felt more like Regina Spektor meets The Pretty Reckless (their pale imitations)

Sad to see a Saint Eitienne song go.  I hadn't gotten into their later stuff aside from the album last year (a bit of a snooze... sorry), so I'm gonna check out their 2010s era stuff, maybe its more trashy dance.

Couldn't participate in this rate due to work, but glad to see Taylor Swift's songs getting kicked OUT!:clap3:
