Flatline/Rock Steady top 2 for me please!
Right? Going by PopJustice you'd never know that I'll Stand By You was a number 1 hit and Biology/Call the Shots wasn't.
Wait, is it 'biggest single' or 'defining song'? Those aren't necessarily one and the same.
I vote defining song you are making my point clearer thank you.

Trouble with defining song is that it would be different for everyone. For instance, I'd say TLC's defining song is No Scrubs due to when I got into them, someone else would say Waterfalls.
I mean you're wrong on both counts, it's Creep.

My point exactly! Lol
My point is no one's defining song for Girls Aloud is The Promise.

It's still one of their least divisive numbers and would do okay for them... I think...

MY most define Girls Aloud song is On The Metro though...

Untouchable Album Version here!
Of course Untouchable is mine as well.
It should be the most representing, encapsulating, quintessential single of their career (if it wasn't already in part un)
Love Machine is it.
because Biology has been done to death
Let's take it back to your first thought on this rate 2.

@berserkboi - I still think The Saturdays should be represented by a solo effort in this rate, so I'd be more inclined to say Up or All Fired Up. All Fired Up is usually their highest rated song in any rate they're are involved in which I think is an element that should hold water when discussing a group's 'signature' song. Like why Pure Shores should represent All Saints for example.
This is just my two cents though, I'm not trying to say it has to be this way or not.

I always forget Sean Paul is even on What About Us. The version without him is where it's at.

Not Ready to Make Nice is in the rate, so no other 2000s song has a chance anyways.
Maybe this is controversial, but do acts like TATU and Las Ketchup really need to feature again? They had their signature song in the original rate and if they don’t have a good defining second song (because they were one hit wonders in most of the world) we shouldn’t be forced to rate them again. Just a thought.

THIS^^^
There is no good reason for One Hit Wonders whose signature song has already been used to feature again. We's be much better of including more than one song by acts with multiple signature songs or throwing in a few oddities like Flatline to make things more interesting.

I agree with the above points but unfortunately from my perspective Not Gonna Get Us was even bigger than All The Things She Said. That, however, might be only true for the Eastern Europeans so it's not really relevant to the rate discussion. By the way, I'm looking forward to part 2 so much, following part 1 was pure pleasure.
