Thanks for the tag.
Well I don't know if you will like my votes. But I try to do this there are very nice songs on your list.
Most of all I like that Fun Boy Three is here. I own some songs from them because of a sampler. How prominent are they in the UK?
P.S. Who are peaches? And why they're here with a cover of clout (which was a cover aswell I know)?

Peaches were an Australian girl group. I didn't realise they'd be so obscure - Should have saved them for PJOP rounds!
What is Fun Boy Three?

The lead artist on that Bananarama track, which gave Bananarama their first hit.

Ha! I now feel like Rose in The Golden Girls asking 'who's Hitler?'
Should've known that!

Fun Boy Three is really fun!
What I know of them:
There is A Message To You Rudy (The Specials - the band before Fun Boy Three)
And:
I love that one!
And It Ain't What You Do It's the Way You Do It
For me at least a 10 :-)!

Just to be sure (as I'm not all that familiar with the band): which version of the Mis-teeq song should we rate here - Youtube or Spotify?
Depending on circumstances, sometimes I use one playlist sometimes the other - and suddenly my notes didn't seem to match the song, so I got suspicious...

Didn't realise the version on the video was very different. Do you know which was the official release version @londonrain? Wikipedia doesn't specify...

The YouTube version was released first but the Spotify remix is the most well-known one. The remix is the version that was promoted.
You can rate whichever version you prefer, though.

Okay let's go with the remix then. Does this mean i have to change the video link?

Yes. The two versions are quite radically different.
Wouldn't this be sorta unfair to other songs, which don't have the luxury of fishing with a two-version net?

It’s pretty standard practice for a lot of rates, though. (For example, @Ray has made it clear in his Pet Shop Boys rate that he doesn’t care which version of the songs you rate.)
Mis-Teeq in particular had an irritating habit of using their videos and performances to plug two versions of their song at once. In the videos above you can still hear them start with the original version before switching to the remix. The version on the Spotify playlist is just the remix.

I agree. The true original edit never made it onto the album and is not on any of their compilations. I assume it’s on the single but I’m not even sure of that.

'Why' has been updated! Anything else not quite right, please let me know. Thanks for your help and feedback with all this everyone, really appreciate it!

UPDATE
- A different song has made it to the top as we enter the second week of voting
- A particularly spiteful score has caused one of my faves to plummet (snif!)
- The bottom 3 are pretty much set it stone at the moment although they keep trading places. The kiiiiii if one of them gets an(other) 11!
- Someone's commentary compared one of the numbers here to something from Paula Abdul so paging @Jeffo to join the voting!
