The results of this are going terribly. I think most of my final points will be for Semi 1 songs!

Carnage in the 38-34 section, several of my big pointers out. Would have especially loved to see The Boxer reach the final. By contrast not too sad to lose any of this most recent batch.

Or you could say... Romeo done
 I'm sad to lose 'Unpretty', that really is an incredible pop song, TLC at their best. |

So these are the 25 singles to qualify for the final, in chronological order. It seems the more popular older songs were in the this semi with the first six all being older than the oldest qualifier from the first semi (Kiss from 1986). That figure rises to seven if you count Purple Rain. You might also have noticed that a wild card has made its way through to the final.

Aww sad to lose Kate Bush and Meredith Brooks at the last gasp. I love Bitch and it just captures that nineties spirit so beautifully somehow.
