The Bluemoon Song Cup 2024 - P70 Round 1 / CB /M29 - Oasis (Don't Stop) v Gwen Stefani (Hollaback Girl)

Gotye was definitely a grower for me. Didn't particularly like it at first but think it's very good now.
It reached number 1 in numerous charts all over the world and currently has 2.2 billion views on YouTube and nearly 2 billion on Spotify.

I don’t know if it’s particularly cool to like the Snow Patrol with it being so mopey an’ all and I can imagine it being the song of choice at a few funerals but I do like it. Won’t be having it at my funeral though. And it’s just edged out by the Gotye. Never heard anything else of his but thought this was great when it came out and quite possibly have it on a playlist somewhere

And The Sun is the best selling UK newspaper so don't tell me that numbers can't lie

Both excellent songs, snow patrol for me. Best match up in this round by far.

Wow 12 votes for that Rammstein thing

Some people like Rammstein and some people like generic beardy types with their guitars too high playing average country music.

Each to their own.

Not really sure how this thread operates, but Snow Patrol for me.

Just give a like to the video that Rob posted and your vote will count.

Good choice, BTW. ;-)

I have never seen the video to that Gotya song before. I always thought it was Sting singing the chorus. Always disliked that Chinese style intro and bit played throughout.
I've sang the Snow Patrol song a few times karaoke so that gets my vote

You "like"the video of your choice. The one with the most likes wins

Apparently that Gotye track was a big hit? First time I've been aware of it and not too impressed on first play.

As above I think Snow Patrol are bland and dull. Just read that this track is the most played on radio in the 21st Century- no wonder everyone looks so beaten down and defeated.

Given how much Gotye was played (past death) on alt radio in the US, I thought you were talking about that being the "most played". Just cannot stand that song, never have, and listening again today is not on my menu - a track I used to know.
