Shortlist for Pop Gem #99: One big hit

Which of your favourite one hit wonders are in with a chance of a Hall Of Fame place?

Each week we ask you to nominate your fave overlooked classics or huge hits of yesteryear for a place in our Pop Gem Hall Of Fame – where brilliant pop is rewarded.

This week's theme was ONE BIG HIT, or one hit wonders – tracks by acts who never again troubled the Top 40. Or, if your fave only had a couple of minor hits after the big one, we’d allow it; we’re not monsters!

We got your fantastic suggestions down to a Top 10. Who are you backing?

The final 10:

ARTIST	TRACK	PEAK POSITION	YEAR
AGNES	RELEASE ME	3	2009
SAM SPARRO	BLACK AND GOLD	2	2008
ALIZEE	MOI LOLITA	8	2002
RUI DA SILVA FT CASSANDRA	TOUCH ME	1	2001
DJ PIED PIPER	DO YOU REALLY LIKE IT	1	2001
STRETCH & VERN	I'M ALIVE	6	1996
CHESNEY HAWKES	THE ONE AND ONLY	1	1991
ALANNAH MYLES	BLACK VELVET	2	1990
THE REYNOLDS GIRLS	I'D RATHER JACK	8	1989
ANITA WARD	RING MY BELL	1	1979

And the winner is…

All will be revealed at 8pm on Friday (that's tonight FYI). Stay 'tuned'!
