Those goons at NOW TV decided recently it would be a splendid idea to set up an online poll to determine the greatest pop song (that has featured on a NOW album) in the past 30 years...

.. unfortunately, as anyone can vote unlimited times, sneaky Wanted & JLS fans have rigged the poll.

Of nearly 1450 votes cast so far,over a third (501) are for The Wanted 'Chasing The Sun'.


Oh dear, what a mess... though feel free to add to the mayhem by all means :

Multiple votes for Robson and Jerome is surely the way to go with this.

Omg!!! Are U serious? People can vote as many times as they like? ... EPIC FAIL!!!

I wouldn't even know where to begin with the greatest song however I can confirm Chasing The Sun wouldn't even some close.

Oh yes indeed ! Though we'll have to make this a joint effort and get as many DS posters to vote for Robson & Jerome to make this work.

I've done my bit.

'Up On The Roof' by Mr Green & Mr Flynn is now in fifth place .. though some Leona Lewis fanboys are trying the same trick.'Bleeding Love' is gaining votes.

it is the sort of list I would expect to be there. I think Baby One More Time by Britney will be high up.

I spotted two spelling mistakes already. Hardly a poll worth caring about.

Considering how many votes have been cast so far in the first week, yep, it's not exactly earth-shattering.

Worth rigging all the same though.

I am really fed up with everything being decided by public vote, because those who do take part in this stuff tend to be the lowest common denominator demographic and are constantly pandered to across the media.

It's always so predictable and depressing.

How come Madonna is on the poll, I thought she'd never featured on a "Now" album...

Either way my vote is going to 2 Unlimited - NO NO, no no no no, no no no no, no no..

Off topic but I was looking to but the NOW 00s CD from iTunes, I have one song from the CD but now it's gone from iTunes? Is this a glitch or has it stopped going on sale?
