Shortlist for Official Charts Pop Gem #82: Karaoke Classics
It's that time of the week again where we ask you to nominate overlooked classics or big hits of yesteryear for a place in our Pop Gem Hall Of Fame.
This week, we were after your KARAOKE CLASSICS – your signature tune whenever you have a mic in your hand. Be they storming bangers or heartfelt ballads, sung pitch-perfect or hopelessly out of tune, we wanted your fave go-to karaoke track.
Lots of suggestions came in that were actually million-sellers – well, it figures that the biggest hits are the ones you want to sing! But, as we know, Pop Gem is all about the underdog (kind of) and million-sellers, as lovely as they are, are not invited to the Pop Gem party!
Here's who we went for in the end. Who are you backing?
