Was hoping Calvin Harris and Example could make it through but didn't think they would. Other than that, no major losses so far although a few from the lower end of my votes have dropped out already.

Never knew that. Though 'Work From Home' seems to make much more sense as a title anyway given the overall lyrical theme of the song!
