Loads of big singles in that batch, meaning there wasn't that many to choose from that weren't top 40 singles. Still, four album tracks left us. "Goodbye" from "Let It Ride" rather fittingly leaves us first. Then, we go much more recent with "Said I'm Sorry" and "Butterfly On A Wheel" both leaving. Finally, as our featured song, one of the better tracks to have been featured so far from "Truth Be Told" IMO - "Love Equals".

With two of their most instantly recognisable classics in that round, I assumed the top 2 was a given. How wrong I was! Thankfully both did at least survive, and a truly wonderful discovery ended up topping the list. At the other end, we lost "Be Myself" and "Step Inside Your Love" from "Truth Be Told" - which really does seem to be their weakest album. Joining them are two earlier tracks - "On An Island With You" from their debut album "Change Giver" and from "A Maximum High", our featured song "Out By My Side"

[matthew_dixon]

This round, you all agreed that "A Hole" from "Let It Ride" should be bottom. I gave it a few more points, but I can't say I'm sorry to see it go either. "Truth Be Told" loses another one comfortably - "Laughter Lines".

Then it's time for a bit of an upset, as our first top 40 hit falls! I do have to admit, of all of their top 40 hits, this is one of the weakest - a one off single from 2003 called "Why Can't I Be You?", the last top 40 hit they ever had.

Finally, we lose "Better Days" from "Instant Pleasures".

You can stop tagging me, please. I'm not a big enough fan.
