We're back! The return of the 'Ultimate' series is here, and this time we will be pitting most of the songs unlucky enough to miss the top ten by one place together in a race to find which song deserved a top ten peak the most. Every #11 peaking single from 1980-2016 will be included in the group stages. There are eight groups altogether and two groups will be open each week for the next four weeks.

Simply vote for your top ten songs from the list below. The top five from each group will qualify to the final, and the rest of the top 10 will qualify to the wildcard round.

If you wish to remind yourselves of the following songs, most of them are on the following Spotify playlist (thanks to The Hit Parade for compiling).
