I'd have been happy for either of these two to win, and really the Top 2 was never going to be anything else was it? I did think all along What Do I Have To Do might just pip Devil as the "underdog" but you can't deny the brilliance of either song. Both are stone cold 10/10 pop classics.

Before I really thought about my scores I automatically assumed Better The Devil You Know would be getting my 11 till I realised I preferred Turn It Into Love, Word Is Out and What Kind Of Fool in that order, then these two rounding out my Top 5. (What? Don't look at me like that!)

I want to say a massive thank you to @P'NutButter for just how much fun this rate has been, it's been my favourite ever on here. You did our holy queen proud. The artwork and pacing of the reveals was perfect and I will miss my daily dose of drama in here (till the next time!)
 
Well thank goodness you lot got it right. Though I am curious as to how it averaged 10.74 with only 14 11's. I'm trying to do the math and it doesn't seem to add up.

Oh, and of course, excellent hosting P'nut. Though that's just a given at this point, obviously.
 
Wow what a high score Better The Devil You Know got!!!!! Rightfully so as the song is easily one of her all time greats and the beginning of a true icon in the making. As much as I like her earlier PWL work, much of it could have almost been sung buy any of their other acts. Devil however was well and truly made for Kylie, and it's impossible to think of anyone else (even Steps) from singing it. Kylie had well and truly begun her 2nd decade in music in style, and it showed that Kylie Minogue was truly here to stay. Well done for this rate @P'NutButter! It's been a blast! Next stop, the Deconstruction years!!!
 
@P'NutButter Honestly everything about this rate has been perfect, the artwork, the writeups and the pace has been fantastic it's crazy to think we were only at #58 11 days ago. Most of all you did our Goddess of Pop proud with your sublime hosting. Looking forward to the Deconstruction years now.

I forgot to mention in that highly incriminating video of me I was singing too more the reason to get rid of it plus my half sister filmed me unknowingly so even more reason. The Kylie version is more in my range and much more fab like myself.
 
In all seriousness... Is that score correct? With the numbers provided, the score I'm getting is 10.21 (Still record breaking. Sigh.) and any numbers that aren't listed in the write up would be between 6.5 and 10 and therefore make it lower than that. What kind of tricksies are afoot here?

I can't even begin to explain the travesty of the chart run and sales of Rhythm Of Love….

This top 40 run makes me want to cry given what we were used to previously:
9-16-18-20-21-21-17-21-25-27-33-24-29-33-40

It didn't even feel 300k either, just bizarre how sudden the turn around was.
 
Knowing my spreadsheet I've probably missed a couple of people off but I did also have a voter that wished to remain anonymous during the rate who scored 'Devil' an eleven too. The scores were right and the order is correct, but thanks for inquiring.

Anyway, thanks to all those that took part and I truly appreciate the nice comments and I hope you join the second part (I promise I'll not fuck up.)
