Madonna's 'Hung Up' named best gay hit of 2005
Published Wednesday, Dec 21 2005, 11:04 GMT | By Neil Wilkes
Madonna's latest single 'Hung Up' has topped a GaydarRadio poll to find the best gay hits of 2005.
Almost half of all voters named the track, which samples ABBA's 'Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (A Man After Midnight)', their favourite of the past year.
“It’s amazing how a woman old enough to be the mother of most of our listeners still holds the admiration and affection of so many gay men," said station manager Robin Crowley. "It’s been an amazing year for gay music and a tough choice to choose the top 10 hits, but Madonna proves again why she is such a world wide mega star despite the naff hair and dodgy outfits on her recent video – maybe she’ll pick up some more sensible clothes in the M&S sales in January.???
The top ten in full:
1. Madonna: ‘Hung Up’ (44%)
2. Bodyrockers: ‘I Like The Way’ (11%)
3. Charlotte Church: ‘Crazy Chick’ (8%)
4. Inaya Day: ‘Nasty Girl’ (7%)
5. Deux: ‘Sun Rising Up’ (6%)
6. Faith Evans: ‘Mesmerized’ (6%)
7. Tom Novy: ‘Your Body’ (5%)
8. Freemasons: ‘Love On My Mind' (5%)
9. Barbara Tucker: ‘Most Precious Love' (4%)
10. Gadjo: 'So Many Times' (4%)
