In the lower 30s.

Iodine cements itself as my favourite track on Revolution In Me. Full. Body. Chills.

Well done @Sprockrooster, impeccable taste!

MAGIC | LADYHAWKE

Voted By: @Phonetics Girl (15) @sfmartin (3)
Year: 2008
Country of Origin: Aotearoa

sfmartin commentary:
This nearly snuck past me but I was reminded how I listened to this song religiously when it was first released. I adore the explosive opening and the chorus is tremendous. One of my favourite openings to an album. Once again steeped in 80s electro nostalgia. The instrumental is very Depeche Mode.

THERE'S A PLACE | SIOBHÁN DONAGHY

Voted By: @Runawaywithme (16) @RUNAWAY (2)
Year: 2007
Country of Origin: England
Appearance: 5th

Runawaywithme Commentary:
This song just melts me. It makes me so emotional it’s hard to listen to sometimes. Every element just feels so perfectly placed and Siobhan’s vocal performance here is literally angelic. There is something so magical in this song that it’s hard to describe… I’;d say just press play, shut your eyes and let Siobhan take you to another world.

MURDER ON THE DANCEFLOOR | SOPHIE ELLIS-BEXTOR

Voted By: @BubblegumBoy (14) @Crisp X (3) @4Roses (1)
Year: 2001
Country of Origin: England
Appearance: 8th

4Roses Commentary:
Merging camp and sophistication, Sophie manages to form a tune that would pack any dance floor.

[Ugly Beauty]

I can’t believe the classics are continued to be eliminated like this, makes me wonder what’s gonna reach the top.

 

[Runawaywithme]

The Siobhan Representation makes me happy. I'd say she's definitely one of my most important musician's to me and it's nice to see her get paid her dues with these legends.

 

[Phonetics Girl]

Magic is just nominative determinism.

I too am overwhelmed by the amount of classics. From now on, I'll slow down to 2 reveals at a time. Hopefully, I'll be able to drop in more often than 1-2 days a week, it really wasn't my intention to draw this out as long as I have.

I wondered when 'Murder On The Dancefloor' would make its appearance. Truly one of the greatest pop songs of the 2000s. It was on my list until I decided to give other Sophie songs points, knowing that others would vote for its Iconicness.

I forgot how fantastic 'Magic' is. I'll have to dig out my copy of the album. Great choice @Phonetics Girl and @sfmartin

Beyonce to Adele thank you thank you I love you thank you .gif

 

[Crisp X]

Happy to see Murder On The Dancefloor getting multiple votes! I don't really have much to say about it that hasn't already been said. In my case, it was (yet) another song and artist almost lost to my childhood memories that I one day found again by scouring early 00s radio station playlists. It's a testament to its power that I could vividly remember not only the song but parts of the music video (alongside Get Over You) for more than a decade after its heyday. Its disco revival sound is perfected and pretty much timeless. The song hasn't aged a day at all, which is the sign of a true classic!

The Murder On The Dancefloor music video is so iconic!!
