Shortlist for Official Charts Pop Gem #69: Saucy
Each week, we start the search for your Pop Gem – those overlooked classics or tunes you haven't heard for a while that could do with another airing.
This week's theme was SAUCY. We wanted songs that were a little bit naughty, maybe kinda sexy or on the risqué side. Generally, if it was related to 'getting romantic', as our mums would say, it was a contender.
We thought long and hard about which of your suggestions should make up our shortlist, but after a lot of moaning and groaning, we thrashed things out and got it down to the final 14.
Which one are you backing to win? If you need a reminder of each song’s brilliance – not to mention its sauciness – take a look at our hot video playlist. Warning: your screen may steam up.
Also, check out our Spotify and Deezer playlist of every single Pop Gem we ever picked. Yes, the lot.
