Three girl group songs leave us before the top twenty - any guesses?

I like early Calvin but that song aged poorly to me.  Doesn’t hit hard enough!

Too low!

As a lowkey Calvin stan (post 18 Months), I was expecting better from this track but it was a bit underwhelming for me. I wanted to give it a good score but I couldn't get into it like his later releases. Lowkey feels like an unfinished demo :michael:

Why is there almost no digital footprint of Mini Viva left at this point?

That Daggers song was my favorite new discovery but it was destined to leave pre-top 20. Marina haters are strong so I'm not surprised at her flopping too. Why they chose those two songs instead of like... Oh No and Lies or something is kinda baffling but I love both so :michael:

I'm going to have to pan a certain song that was covered (and done better). :fan:

You got your wish.

TBH it would have been a fierce competition between that and MOTD!

Fair point, but he's always hard a hard-on for girl groups.

I know About You Now is basic as **** and an insult to Sugababes' earlier work, but I'll be damned if it isn't a flawless pop track. Y'all did her wrong! :jonny2:

I’m Not Alone deserved better :chick1:

Posted

Oh wow....a Reverie 11 making top 20

Posted

Miranda Cosgrove's About You Now is the superior version :cm:

How was prezil vote even allowed dd

 

Power & Control is kinda dated **** nowadays, but I Am Not A Robot deserved to be higher. Glad to see What Makes You Besutiful got sabotaged not just by me!

I'm comfortable to say that this is the only song from them I've actually ever listened to in fool. Not bad.
