To mark today's solar eclipse –which we're assured actually did happen behind all these clouds this morning – we want to venture out into the cosmos for this week's Pop Gem.

Our weekly hunt for overlooked classics and big hits of yesteryear to induct into our Pop Gem Hall Of Fame had an intergalactic theme – we wanted songs or artists associated with the Sun, Moon, stars and space.

Eventually, we got your interplanetary nominations down to our Top 10, each one totally Pop Gem-worthy. Who are you backing to win?

 

The final 10:

ARTIST TRACK PEAK POSITION YEAR
SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE MUSE 4 2006
BRANDY FULL MOON 15 2002
SUPERMEN LOVERS STARLIGHT 2 2001
COLDPLAY YELLOW 4 2000
MELANIE C NORTHERN STAR 4 1999
DUBSTAR STARS 15 1996
CHEMICAL BROTHERS SETTING SUN 1 1996
AHA THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES ON TV 1 1985
MIKE OLDFIELD MOONLIGHT SHADOW 4 1983
BONNIE TYLER TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART 1 1983

And the winner is…

All will be revealed later today (Friday), when we announce our Pop Gem pick on Facebook and Twitter.
