The Promise by Girls Aloud is the most perfect pop song in the world. Change my mind

[Joannagorilla]

I love really good pop songs, by that I am not talking about lyrics, singing ability, deep relevance in terms of zeitgeist, I mean you hear it, you sing it, you want to hear it again. It makes you happy when it comes on.
Other Contenders for me are;
Love Sex Magic- Ciara
Sweet Dreams my LA ex- Rachel Stevens
Candy- Robbie Williams

I mean they're not up there with the White Album and Rumours but they're perfect examples of the genre.

YABU. For a start, Biology is better. It's 3 songs in 1.

I couldn’t stand Girls Aloud, vacuous crap.

Sugababes had much better songs. By a mile.

This Charming Man by The Smiths is the most perfect pop song of all time.

Sorry Op but your choices are naf, STOP and Spice up your life by the Spice Girls are the best songs ever. Good luck trying to argue otherwise 💋✌🏼

Not a fan of Pop/Girls Aloud but I would say that Biology is the perfect pop record by them!

I absolutely loved Girls Aloud but I never understood the hype around The Promise, it was OK but not one of their best.

No Good Advice was definitely the most underrated of all their songs, what a tune!

Sorry to disagree but I think you'll find
Don't leave me this way- The Communards, is far superior in every way.

Oh please! Dancing queen!!! That's a song you hear being played decades after it was released.

I heard someone say The Promise sounded like a new theme tune to Blankety Blank and now I can never unhear it.

’Promise I made, promise I made’
’Blankety blank, blankety blank’

Sorry.

Nope, sorry OP. It's definitely Tonight I'm Free by PJ & Duncan

A Little Respect by Erasure

And

MmmBop by Hanson

Perfect, short, and totally singalongable!

Obviously 'Teenage Kicks'!!

Nothing beats Mika's Dear jealousy 😁

Got to be Disco 2000 by Pulp

Well, Something Kinda Ooo is much better.
And then I'm going with:
Buck's Fizz, Land of Make Believe
Fantasy Island by Tight Fit
Dancing Queen and Lay All Your Love On Me, Abba.

Call the shots is better 😊

I was going to come on here and say "Hit Me Baby One More Time" by B. Spears, but yeah, "Teenage Kicks" is the most perfect pop song of all time, this thread may as well be closed now.

Noooo!

Surely Reach For The Stars by S Club 7 is the winner? 💃

Please don’t ask for a source but I seem to remember some “scientific analysis “ being brought to bear on this question and in fact the answer was “Whole Again “ by Atomic Kitten.

1975: Love to Love You Baby, Donna Summer
1985: Love to love you Baby, Bronski Beat
You're welcome 😎

DOTJONES 😃

most songs by Erasure.

You beat me to it! I always sing Blankety Blank to it. 😁

Ok Hit me Baby is definitely up there!

Also Say you'll be there
