Pop Gem shortlist: Loved but overplayed
Which of your overplayed faves will get a place in the Hall Of Fame?
Every week we ask you to nominate your Pop Gems – those overlooked classics or big hits of yesteryear that deserve a place in our Pop Gem Hall Of Fame.
We wanted to know which songs you loved so much that you’d overplayed them – and so wanted to send to Room 101 so you couldn’t listen to them any more (this worked much better in our heads, honestly).
This week, we allowed million sellers to join the party. Well, they get played pretty regularly, don’t they?
Here’s the 10 multi-played classics in with a chance of a Hall Of Fame place. Who are you backing?
The final 10:
ARTIST | TRACK | PEAK POSITION | YEAR |
CARLY RAE JEPSEN | CALL ME MAYBE | 1 | 2012 |
RIHANNA | WE FOUND LOVE | 1 | 2011 |
ADELE | ROLLING IN THE DEEP | 2 | 2011 |
ALPHABEAT | FASCINATION | 6 | 2008 |
AMY MACDONALD | MR ROCK & ROLL | 12 | 2007 |
ROGUE TRADERS | VOODOO CHILD | 3 | 2006 |
JAMES BLUNT | YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL | 1 | 2005 |
YAZZ | THE ONLY WAY IS UP | 1 | 1988 |
TINA TURNER | WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? | 3 | 1984 |
DEXY'S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS | COME ON EILEEN | 1 | 1982 |
And the winner is…
We'll be announcing the Pop Gem around 8 tonight – don't miss it. Head to Facebook and Twitter for the result!

Compared to Someone Like You, Rolling In The Deep is rarity.
