2011 was fine, just the wrong things reached #1. Jason Derulo ****blocking Bey from #1 after Glastonberry? Unforgivable.

well I meant in terms of #1s.
and I agree 2004 was TRASH too.

2012 is the absolute WORST. Rita Ora, why must you suck so much? And still get #1's! I HATE YOU.

Do you know that she, Cheryl, Alexandra, Pixie, Leona and Billie Piper are all tied with three number one singles?
Only QUEEN Geraldine has four.
jinzo, how many do I owe you?

Finally finished. That was both very invigorating and extremely rough. So many amazing #1's, so many terrible ones.
Ideal top ten (in chronological order)?
Pure Shores
Music
Independent Women Pt. I
Can't Get You Out of My Head
Crazy in Love
Toxic
Everytime
The Promise
The Fear
Poker Face
Bottom ten?
Against All Odds
It's Raining Men
Eternal Flame
Somethin' Stupid
Don't Cha
I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker
What a Wonderful World
I Kissed a Girl
Evacuate the Dancefloor
Part of Me
At a push, I would say give "Pure Shores" the win and bookend it with that Sandi Thom piece of garbage.

If you replace The Promise with Sound of the Underground, and The Fear with Smile that's a really strong top 10

Personally, I prefer the hook of "The Promise" and the satire of "The Fear." (But those other two are right up there for me as well.) Truthfully, I don't think either one has much of a shot.

Bad Romance, Hung Up, or CGYOOMH have a good chance of winning....
But two of those artists have better songs on the list. ![:-!](images/smilies/images/smilies/aol_foot-in-mouth.gif)

Yeah, with all these ATRL favorites up against each other, the results could end up being super boring. That's why I'm hoping for a "Pure Shores" victory. Whether or not it's actually the best song, it would be a fresh winner from a track that won't be making too many repeat appearances in future rates.

It would make a really nice winner. I mean, those other songs are so predictable. ![Doc](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/doc_zpsc886535c.gif) Even if I gave them 10, 8, 10.

Imagine if Tulisa sticks around on X Factor a couple more years, gets to #1 with Live it Up, and gets 2 other #1s thanks to future X Factor promo? The MELTDOWN.
I'll have a check how many you have yet to send in a sec! Jinzo's other half is taking him out today so I'll try and get a few more results onto the spreadsheet if I can.
And Supaspaz, not Pert of Me in last. ![deadbanana3](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/bananas/deadbanana3_zpsa2d36eca.gif)

It's legit top 3 material. Hell, it may be the very best song in this rate!

No, my ideal bottom ten was in chronological order. "Part of Me" is terrible, but there are other worse songs. If anything other than that Sandi Thom ****stain is last, we've done this rate wrong.

That's why Marina's never making it ANYWHERE EVER IN LIFE.

It was the first time I was listening to them and I felt absolutely nothing while doing it (except boredom)
I haven't even suspected that someone expects them to win ![:D](http://www.atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Sorry!
