HOW did this not finish at all in the Triple J like a version top 100?? I think it should've been #1! THIS IS A FREAKING MASTERPIECE!!

Its my top 5. 1 is dma believe for sure tho

[@the-other-mother7116]

@@Razzletazle what's the big fuss over DMA believe? I am from the US and i have been hearing Cher's Believe since it came out and i don't get what the fuss is about? I listened to DMA's version when they got the top spot and i just don't get it??
