The only song there I would've liked to tick which missed out is 'Rich Girl'. Maybe 'Hey Baby' but not really. No idea how No Doubt stumbled upon 'Don't Speak' and 'Hella Good', the rest of their material just doesn't match up!

Gwenny Gwen Gwen obv is awesome on her own despite filler last album and refusal to release the only great song on it.

Early Winter's timetabled for release next year I think - if had been on the schedule for before xmas I would have included it here but sadly not :(

I'm kind of shocked that 'Rich Girl' is doing so badly - I wonder if it's the sentiment, the supposedly annoying "interpolation", or something else?

it's everything else being so damn good!

Yeah same as Cis - I love it and didn't tick it! It's the worst of the LAMB singles which charted, ie worst in a field where all are winners. Also vote splitting between it and 'Let Me Blow Ya Mind'!

No. No. No. All kinds of wrong. 'Fiddler On The Roof' is sacred and should not be "reworked" into pop songs.

Nothing is more "sacred" than pop songs.
