THE 1000 UK NUMBER ONE POLL - RESULTS

Metal Guru, has it been just like a silver studded sabre tooth dream?

Got motion, restrained emotion, been driving, Detroit leaning, no reason, just seems so pleasing, gonna make you, make you, make you notice...

For here am I sitting in a tin can, far above the world; planet earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-space.jpg

At school they taught me how to be so pure of thought and word and deed; they didn't quite succeed...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-itsas.jpg

I've played all my cards and that's what you've done too, nothing more to say, no more ace to play...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-winne.jpg

My loneliness is killing me, and I must confess I still believe, when I'm not with you I lose my mind, give me a sign...

There's a man outside in a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-arefr.jpg

Another one that stayed outside the 100 for ages before rallying in the second half. If there's any pattern, then I'd say that Pop Kids voted first, Boomers in the middle, then another clutch of Pop Kids towards the end.

32. Under Pressure - Queen & David Bowie (21/11/81)
379 points, 10 votes

Turned away from it all like a blind man, sat on a fence but it don't work, keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn, why, why, WHY...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-under.jpg

Of the 10 votes this received, 7 placed it in their Top 10.

And if the way I hold you can't compare to his caress, no words of consolation will make me miss you less...

Good showing for the Walker Brothers, whose other hit placed at #62.

30. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen (29/11/75, 21/12/91
)
398 points, 13 votes

He's just a poor boy from a poor family, spare him his life from this monstrosity...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-bohem.jpg

As the 1991 double A-side with "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" only polled one vote, I decided to combine the two, meaning that there was a total pool of 996 singles. (My Sweet Lord, Jailhouse Rock and One Night also made #1 twice apiece.)

And now just look at me as I'm looking down on you, no I'm not being flash, it's what I'm built to do...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-geno.jpg

Let me lay it on the line, I got a little freakiness inside, and you know that a man has gotta feel with it...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-freak.jpg

But shoot it in the right direction, make making it your intention...

When I'm drivin' in my car, and the man come on the radio, he's tellin' me more and more about some useless information, supposed to fire my imagination...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-satis.jpg

And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed, they say it's my fault, but I want her so much...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-allth.jpg

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes, I have to turn my head until my darkness goes...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-paint.jpg

I'll be there to always see you through, I'll be there to love and comfort you...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-reach.jpg

This was Top Five in the early stages, before slowly slipping.

We kissed after taking vows, but that night on our honeymoon we stayed in separate rooms...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-bando.jpg

There's a dark secret in me, don't leave me locked in your heart, set me free...

20. Crazy In Love - Beyoncé (12/07/03)
477 points, 18 votes

Tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress; you ain't there, ain't nobody else to impress...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-crazy.jpg

Between the two of us guys, you know I loved you more...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-ihear.jpg

Put the needle on the record, when the song beats go like this...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-pumpu.jpg

ILM, I kiss you for this.

Since you've been gone I can do whatever I want, I can see whomever I choose; I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant, but nothing, I said nothing, can take away these blues...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-nothi.jpg

Love is all I bring, inna me khaki suit and ting...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-uptow.jpg

Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free, at night I lock the doors, where no one else can see...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-intot.jpg

Sippin' on coke and rum, I'm like so what I'm drunk, it's the freakin' weekend baby, I'm about to have me some fun...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-ignit.jpg

Tonight make it magnificent, tonight, make me tonight...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-atomi.jpg

From this point on, you'll start to see noticeably bigger jumps in the number of points. The Number One got nearly twice the number of points than this.

The five years we have had have been such good times, I still love you, but now I think it's time I lived my life on my own, I guess it's just what I must do...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-donty.jpg

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on, leave them burning and then you're gone...

10 The Model / Computer Love - Kraftwerk (06/02/82)
657 points, 20 votes

She plays hard to get, she smiles from time to time, it only takes a camera to change her mind...

Can I just say: where are all the electric guitars?

Little things I should’ve said and done, I never took the time...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-alway.jpg

You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone, just you wait 'til I get you home...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-weste.jpg

Bloody hell! It's two in a row!

Don't touch me please, I cannot stand the way you tease...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-taint.jpg

The second cover version in the Top 10, and the highest placed song to score no #1 votes from anybody.

The Model: 1.
Always On My Mind: 2
West End Girls: 0 (highest: 3)
Tainted Love: 0 (highest: 2)

You had a temper like my jealousy: too hot, too greedy...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-wuther.jpg

An early runaway winner, this spent most of its time in the Top Three before dropping in the last two or three days.

Once I had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out to be a pain in the ass...

ihttp://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-heart.jpg

And mother always told me be careful of who you love, and be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth...

Ooh, fallin' free, fallin' free, fallin' free, fallin' free, fallin' free...
