Just made it in x (this was the hardest one to vote in so far, and very tough to pick between the top 2).

I just ranked the double A-Sides based on the side I like more (I mean I'm not sure I've even heard the other side of The Jam's one).

Voting has now closed. Thanks to all who took part. Good to see some last minute votes coming in. This has been a very competitive semi with the last few qualifying positions constantly changing. The results will start Monday.

Results

51. Paper Lace - Billy Don't Be A Hero 16pts

Writers - Mitch Murray,Peter Callander
Top points - King Rollo 16


This is the last of Common Sense's first round favourites. As he again failed to vote,it was up to me to prevent it from finishing with no points. It's a vintage classic that should have received more votes. I wonder how many people on here know the song. This is the first time I've seen the video. As they were always around to perform the song on TV,it was never shown here. It was number 1 for three weeks in 1974 but before they had a chance to release it in the US,a cover version by Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods shot to no.1 there. However,Paper Lace did manage an American no.1 with the follow up 'The Night Chicago Died'. They are still going after 52 years but as with many of the old groups,there are two versions touring with only one of them allowed to use the Paper Lace name.

50. Kylie Minogue - Tears On My Pillow 19pts

Writers - Sylvester Bradford,Al Lewis
Top points - oof 16,Jason 3


This was voted into the semi-finals by Good Old Days but he didn't vote either so it was languishing in last place with just three points until brand new member oof swooped in with an hour to go to boost its points total. The song was Kylie's fourth no.1 and was a cover of the track by Little Anthony and the Imperials from 1958. It was featured in the film 'The Delinquents' which she also starred in. It wasn't the first 'Tears On My Pillow' to reach no.1. A different song with that title by Johnny Nash topped the chart in 1975.

49. Katy Perry - Roar 57pts

Writers - Katy Perry,Lukasz Gottwald,Max Martin,Bonnie McKee,Henry Walter
Top points - Lady Gaga 14,ready for it 11,Aaron TM 8,Jase 8


Katy Perry seems to have been shunned by most of the voters. Her other song finished 47th in the last semi and this one does even worse. From 2013,it was her fourth number 1.
