Shortlist for Official Charts Pop Gem #84 - Numbers

Which of your number-themed faves have made it onto our Pop Gem shortlist?

We're all about numbers at Official Charts. Counting, well, it's what we do. In celebration of not only that but also that we have just launched our brand-new advent calendar for 2015, we decided this week's Pop Gem theme should be NUMBERS.

You remember what a Pop Gem is, right? It's an overlooked classic or a huge hit from yesteryear that deserves a little more love, and admission into our Pop Gem Hall Of Fame, an elite line-up (kind of) featuring some of pop's most perfect moments.

You guys really got behind this one, but when it came to whittling them down to a final 10, it had to be this lot. Who are you backing?

The final 10:

ARTIST	TRACK	PEAK POSITION	YEAR
AMERIE	1 THING	4	2005
CIARA	1-2 STEP	3	2005
THE 411	DUMB	3	2004
MISSY ELLIOTT	4 MY PEOPLE	5	2002
LUNIZ	I GOT 5 ON IT	3	1996
ROBERT MILES	ONE & ONE	3	1996
BOBBY BROWN	TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME	3	1995

GEORGE MICHAEL	FREEDOM '90	28	1990
