Two more songs have to go before we reach the top 10, but what are they? Well, in 12th place, it's the first track to fall that at one point was in our top 6. When we started on the final phase, there was set to be a rather surprising song amongst those making the grand final survivor - "Men's Needs" by Wakefield brothers the Cribs. They were increasingly standing out as a rather lesser successful act up against big names. I went for their biggest hit, but actually my favourite personally is "I'm A Realist", which for some reason was chart ineligible.
The other one we lose before the top 10 is one of my favourite songs in the whole survivor. We head west from Wakefield to the village of Balliff Bridge and another band with brothers in it - Britpop stars Embrace. "Come Back To What You Know" is a huge personal favourite of mine - IMO easily their best song - and was the biggest charting hit from their debut album, so I think it was fair enough to pick.

Into the top 10 we get, so let's have a drink to celebrate. What drink? Why "Tequila" of course!
Keighley band Terrorvision simply weren't a commercial act. They started releasing songs in 1992, continued throughout the 90s, managed to get to No. 21 with "Oblivion" and then in 1996 whilst they did manage a top 5 hit with "Perseverance", that was largely down to having a big fanbase and it rather crashed and burned. 1999 single "Tequila" was set to also be a rather limited success. Then, the band let Mint Royale get hold of it, add in some maracass, a kids choir, whistles and trumpets. It went on to become an absolutely huge hit, If you want to hear what the original sounds like, click HERE.
