Magic FM are doing a compilation or chart or something of "the nation's favourite lovesongs." The advert heavily features Leona Lewis' cover of 'Run' by Snow Patrol so obviously they will be wrong but I thought it might be time, in the wake of the end-of-year-poll madness, for some essential poptimist groupthink.

[Poll #1343130]

The results of the poll are only viewable to me for future orga-polling purposes. I obvs. did not actually think this through very well with regards to the second question so please just put any answers in the comments.

"songs about the messy business of human relationships"

This is why I nominated Ashlee Simpson's "Better Off."

But there are also ur-love-songs, songs that seem archetypical. The only one I could bring myself to nominate (sorry I picked two) was Olive Oyl's "He Needs Me."
