There are some great suggestions here! If I went for one in particular it would be ‘Valerie’ by Mark Ronson and Amy Whitehouse, so well done Bikebuoy, you’re the winner – although it’s a numbers game and the more suggestions one makes, the greater the likelihood of being top dog eh?! 😉

Here’s my suggestion, not that it’s the greatest, but possibly the most apt and amazed it hasn’t already been nominated…

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene

2 billion views cant be wrong..

It’s not a competition, is it?

I’m just posting stuff I like and we’ve probably not heard in a long time…

Anyway, I’ve obliterated the thread, got carried away..

Hope it carries on though because there are some crackers on here.

Beatles wrote some good pop songs.

Why was this so popular back in 1991, the single that spent the record number of weeks (16) at number one in the UK and number one in a lot of countries?

Simply because of being in the film? I got absolutely sick of it in my late teens (still think he did better tunes than this), a bit like how I couldn’t stand hearing New Order’s Regrets for years after a year of my uni neighbour playing it all the damn time, or Travis’ singles off The Man Who album (a street neighbour this time)!

Ii don’t think it’s a competition. Just about what makes a great pop single that’s all.

Yes Jekyll, Billie Jean is a great example. If it’s on – I’m dancing.

I’ve been watching 80s pop videos on YouTube with my daughter today. She loved them and I must admit despite not liking much of it at the time I can see some brilliance now, especially compared to modern chart pop.
Having said that my perfect pop song is God Only Knows,can’t see how it could be improved

Awe crap… One Moar!
