About Song of the Decade
Prepare for a trip down memory lane with Song of the Decade – Absolute Radio’s mighty mission to find your favourite song from the first decade of the 21st Century.Coldplay’s ‘Yellow’ gave us goose-bumps in the festival fields, we shook it like a Polaroid picture to Outkast’s ‘Hey Ya’ and Kings of Leon’s ‘Sex on Fire’ roused us and propelled them to the top of the charts. And whether it makes you laugh, cry or reminisce, we want to know which song of the decade you think should be included in our almighty countdown.
The Noughties brought us a variety of incredibly talented new acts, like Amy Winehouse’s ‘Rehab’, outstanding slices of pounding pop with Kylie’s, ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head’ and global Rock-god genius from the likes of U2 and their track ‘Beautiful Day.’
They’ve all produced music with real staying power and every song since the turn of the millennium which reached over 75 in the Official UK charts is listed. From Keane to Kylie, Beyonce to Britney, Kasabian to Coldplay, Robbie to Rhianna, The White Stripes to Will Young - it’s up to you to choose a winner.
Once you’re registered as an Absolute Radio VIP, you can vote for as many songs as you like; we reckon the decade of music was so good – you’re going to need more than one choice! Please note that you can only vote for each song once and multiple votes from the same IP range will be invalidated.
Once we’ve gathered up all your votes, a Top 100 countdown will lead up to the announcement of the nation’s Song of the Decade, which will be live on the Christian O’Connell Breakfast Show on Friday 11 December. Voting closes at 8am on Monday 7 December, so get your thinking caps on, flick through your iPod playlists and get voting!
