We only have two charts left of the 2010s (and it doesn't seem likely we'll get anything new at #1 apart from a song about sausage rolls) and I thought it'd be an interesting idea to do a miniseries of polls/votes to determine what, exactly, is TiBB's favourite UK #1 of the decade :think:
The obvious route would be to just go year by year, and say "pick your five favourites from 2011" etc, but there could be - and indeed probably are - years that are much stronger than others and we therefore have to sacrifice some serious contenders whilst nobodies scrape through elsewhere. There are also a grand total of 33 chart-toppers from the year 2010, whilst this year we have only had eleven (no wonder this year's felt agonisingly slow) and it's not really fair to let them both have the same number of automatic qualifiers for the final.
So instead, I'll randomise the entire list of #1 singles and create polls from there. I know this is also at risk of messing up the rounds, but... I just really can't be arsed to start a whole "Top Song of _____" format of voting because it'd take too much time and I want to start TiBB's Top Song of 2019 next week, anyway. And it's a bit clunky having 2 or 3 songs per year duke it out instead of letting it all be mixed up.
Disclaimer: I'm removing charity singles from the mix because, let's face it, nobody looks back on "Helping Haiti - Everybody Hurts" or the Military Wives with anything more than a shrug and a little bit of remorse.
