This is John's game. He is in charge. In this thread, John is always right. Whether I like it or not.

I'm not telling anyone else what to do, but I'm not arguing with John about John's game.

:lol: Well, this seems to all gone tits up then doesn't it, not taking sides at all here but everyone could name at least two MC Hammer hits surely, the first been Can't Touch this and the other one either been "Pray" or "Addams Groove".

Channel 4 are wrong as well, the One Hit Wonders according to everyhit.com (as of 2009) can be found at the link Nicola posted above: http://everyhit.com/record1.html

Chesney Hawkes doesn't count according to them, by that token regarding Chesney Hawkes & MC Hammer because "they're the only real known songs", you'd have to include Sydney Youngblood, Livin' Joy & Run DMC, to name a few

The everyhit site only counts them if they got to number 1 though.

Which is also silly. Not that I am arguing. At all.

I appear to have caused controversy. How new.

Whatever way I'd decided to do this people would've been unhappy, that's always the risk when you do most non-year games. BUT I like to think of the GHG as a bit of a democracy, with me just posting the threads/polls.

As such, if there is minimal objection, I am happy to include Chesney and Cornershop (even though I wouldn't count them myself). I did say at the beginning of this game that there was bound to be problems judging what a 'hit' is, so let's not all pull dimtimjims on this one *looks at Sidders*

What do we think of that?

New Radicals for me, purely for the "that's me made my money, I'm done" attitude :)

Well he's been writing hits for people like Ronan Keating ever since, so he obviously wasn't quite done with making money :)

For my opinion,

If you include MC hammer you have to include all the others.

As you say Jon, it's no biggie, if someone choose it then, let it be, it's not like anyone will vote for Sidders anyway! (joke)

The Wannadies gets my vote, i love that song from the 90's. New Radicals would have been my other choice.

That cinderella rockafella song was no 1 when i was born and is awful, glad no one is voting for that.

Does it? Oh well (actually they do say that they're only there if they had no other hit in the top 40, having said that you're right my song isn't in there at all & it got to number 37 so that pisses all over their article) :D

Fair enough, I know who I'm going for, Topher's excellent choice :)
