[Poll #1432757]

*Bob's 'Can We Fix It' was nominated, but technically only number one for a few days in 2001 so I've slotted in firm 2001 chart-topper Mambo No.5 in its place as requested. The fact that this is out of alphabetical order is symptomatic of my spreadsheet-organisation skills rather than any deep conspiracy.

2001

More than the previous lot, this is stuff that I associate with arguing about on ILM. I think that being on the minor side of the arguments on the two big songs has hardened my heart - where I can see that hearing CGYOOMH (and to an extent Digital Love except that you don't, really, hear them) in the intervening years would have softened "I remember this!" to "I like this", I've gone "Oh, that bloody song" instead.

haha the 'minor' side may also be known to historians as the losing side :)

[Edit: now I have a spare tick, after finding out that 'Cry' is actually the sort of Michael Jackson song that deserves having Jarvis Cocker waggling his bum at it, rather than 'Earth Song', which is ace :( ]
