Best Song of 2003: Heat #6

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Panjabi MC emerged victorious from heat #5, narrowly beating Junior Senior into second. They're joined in the next round by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kelly Clarkson and Girls Aloud's worst single ahem.

Heat #6 features some big hitters - nine top 5 hits! Today's tracks include a Depeche Mode cover, a Eurovision entry, and some construction workers with scant regard for health and safety regulations. Let the ticks commence!

• You get SIX TICKS over the three bits of the poll, unless you played the investigation game on the previous heat and told us all your new favourite (and why). Put your new favourite in the box below and get an extra tick for the next heat - do this on five or more of the eight heats and get an extra nomination slot for 2004!



• The top five in each heat will go through to the next stage. Make sure you rep for your faves in the comments!



• If you want to fill in the 'best song I only heard today' box later, change your vote (or tick too many by mistake), you can edit your votes by clicking on 'Poll #12345' then 'Fill Out Poll'.



• You have until Tuesday lunchtime to vote

[Poll #1484793]

Also, JESUS is this ever The Heat of Bitter, Bitter Tears. First run-through gave 10 ticks, and that was with me holding back! I even had to ditch eurovision!tATu. :( (I almost unticked Gurls Aloud instead on the ususal they-don't-need-my-help grounds, but really, as this is one of only two GA must-ticks of the entire decade for me, I just couldn't.)

Anyway, a coupla reps:


One of Ashanti's all-time best, laid-back and slinkily seductive. DESERVES MORE TICKS, DUDES.


Okay, this is one I won't even have a tick for myself, but: still an excellent party track, irresistably sing-alongable chorus and all.

(Also the Poor Javine is actually really good:)
