Use Somebody by Kings of Leon (13)

Poker Face by Lady Gaga (1)

This was the UK's biggest selling single of 2009, shifting over 850,000 copies, with a lot more success through downloads. After a quiet release in late 2008, it went to number 1 in March 2009. It is another electropop song from the weird/riskee (delete as you view it) American. The main idea behind the song is bisexuality and was a tribute by Gaga to her rock 'n' roll boyfriends.

There appears to be a tie (yet again - seriously, can we stop being so indecisive!) and looking like a M-G deciding vote will appear for the Grand Final unless someone else decides to step in...

A big thanks to all those who voted. And until the next "It's A Knockout" thread, which will continue the Band's search for its Dream Band, keep listening! ;)
