Shortlist for Pop Gem #92: Songs About Love
Every week we ask you to nominate a new song for our Pop Gem Hall Of Fame – either an overlooked classic or huge hit from yesteryear that needs some more recognition.
This week we were dimming the lights, putting some bubbly on ice and buying a box of your favourite chocolates – yes, it's Valentine's Day. Our theme was SONGS ABOUT LOVE – they could be romantic ballads or euphoric bangers, so long as there was love at its heart.
As ever, we could only fit 10 in the shortlist, and here's who we went for. Who are you backing for a place in the Pop Gem Hall Of Fame?
The final 10:
ARTIST | TRACK | PEAK POSITION | YEAR |
TAYLOR SWIFT | LOVE STORY | 2 | 2009 |
SUGABABES | TOO LOST IN YOU | 10 | 2003 |
RONAN KEATING | LOVIN' EACH DAY | 2 | 2001 |
SAVAGE GARDEN | TRULY MADLY DEEPLY | 4 | 1998 |
MARIAH CAREY | DREAMLOVER | 9 | 1993 |
SONIA | YOU'LL NEVER STOP ME LOVING YOU | 1 | 1989 |
KIM WILDE | YOU CAME | 3 | 1988 |

GIORGIO MORODER & PHIL OAKEY | TOGETHER IN ELECTRIC DREAMS | 3 | 1984 |
