"I tossed up between this and 'Love Profusion' for this rankdown, since I'd limited myself to singles with videos (else I might've picked one of the club singles from 'American Life'). No lie, I definitely would've expected Madonna to fare better here given how popular she tends to be in Pulse games so to see her not even make the top half was a bit of a blindside. I also wonder how this warrants a #40 at all, never mind two of them..."Albie 3 SHOOTER 4 alexcuse 6 @trilogy 11 newpower 12 Az Paynter 16 willapted33 16 singingrulebritannia 16 @antigonerising 18 Ty 19 maine 23 Red 23 Adrian C. π 24 Juan Carlos 25Exclusive 26 π

Oh WOW. I thought this was going to make the top ten, and it didn't even make the top half.
Not complaining, though.

"This is another song that I have a nostalgic attachment to; I used to hear this a fair amount on the radio here, and it was her biggest hit in Australia (unlike the US where 'Don't Mess With My Man' was her biggest hit). I'm happy this was able to find some stability in the 20's toward the end, despite my low ranking - as I'd figured that it may have suffered from other material being much better known among the Pulse crowd."@antigonerising 5 Ty 7 @crapkuki23 12 SHOOTER 14 @doinktheclown 14 Albie 15 singingrulebritannia 15 Adrian C. π 15 @trilogy 20 Red 21 Exclusive 23 Sambalada 23 newpower 25 samoπ¦ 26 Juan Carlos 27 #LisaRinna 27 maine 28 Az Paynter 33 π

I thought this was kind of cute, but "Don't Mess With My Man" is definitely more memorable.

"This song was originally by English singer Black, whose version was released in 1986. Model-turned-singer Tina Cousins (also from the UK) released her cover in 2005 as the lead single from her sophomore album 'Mastermind'. She proved to be more popular in Australia than in her native UK, with her singles tending to find greater success here (this song was a top 20 in Australia, but did not crack the UK top 50). This was another interesting one to watch progress, since it started quite low and almost held on to the top half until the last ranking knocked it out. I'm a little sad for that final tanking."@crapkuki23 4 newpower 8 maine 8 singingrulebritannia 9 Red 9 Adrian C. π 10 Ty 13 @doinktheclown 13 Sambalada 14 willapted33 15 Juan Carlos 21 @trilogy 22 alexcuse 22 @antigonerising 23π

"As another electronic act, Kosheen were never 'big'. While they did manage to achieve a handful of hits in their native UK, they were never that successful here in Australia. This song and previous single 'Hide U' were able to reach the top 30 here (and top 15 UK, with 'Hide U' being a top 10 upon its 2001 re-release) and I remember regularly seeing the two songs' music videos on Rage (a local TV music video show). I was never all that into 'Hide U', but I liked 'Catch' a lot more. Seeing it blow up initially was exciting, and while I never thought it would be a dark horse contender to win I liked seeing something completely unexpected taking a hold in the top 10... and then it wound up being polarizing and here we are. Boooo."@trilogy 1willapted33 5 singingrulebritannia 6 newpower 7 Juan Carlos 7 Red 8 Albie 8 maine 11 @crapkuki23 17 π

"I'm not entirely sure how I know of this song (it may have been a Pulse discovery, I don't remember) but I like it. It was a big hit in Canada, and a top 30 in Germany but that's about it. I'd figured this one would end up being fodder for the bottom 10 watching it progressing, until some of the high rankings started coming through toward the end and it looked like it could actually get somewhere. Sadly it couldn't hold onto the top half once it caught a glimpse, and had to settle right outside."Adrian C. π 4 @doinktheclown 4 @trilogy 10 Juan Carlos 13 Albie 14 @antigonerising 14 π

I expected this reveal to be worse. I'll take this.
Unlike another certain song in this RD, it actually does something with its sample.

Rooting for "Slow Down Baby" to make the top 10. "Back To Basics" is such a criminally underrated record.

Rooting for "Slow Down Baby" to make the top 10. "Back To Basics" is such a criminally underrated record. I'm presuming this post to mean you're following along, so I hope you don't mind if I tag you in reveals? "Well... an Aussie managed to reach the top half at least! And James tells me that #1 is legit but it still took me the f**k OUT lmao. So yes, Michael Paynter hit the scene in 2008 with his debut single 'Closer' and I'm on a mission to shoehorn him into as many games as I can so here we are again. Despite promotion, this song suffered from a failure to launch. The follow-up 'A Victim Song' performed even worse, and thus would begin the cycle of Michael's label screwing him around until debut album 'This Welcome Diversion' never got released and he was eventually dropped (I maintain the belief that label incompetence was the major reason his career as a performer never became what it should have been). Watching this bounce around the middle was interesting; the Aussies were getting a raw deal so I could easily have seen this doing worse - I also don't think it's anywhere near his best so him tanking wouldn't have stung as much."Az Paynter 1maine 1Adrian C. π 6 samoπ¦ 8 Exclusive 12 SHOOTER 15 @trilogy 16 @antigonerising 16 Red 17 Juan Carlos 18 newpower 19 @doinktheclown 23 willapted33 23 singingrulebritannia 24 π
