Okay, I'll address the elephant in the room first. The tiebreak at 25th/26th. In which both qualify. This rarely happens in the first round but it's always awkward, because the idea is that one wants votes to be retained for the next round, so most past editions have gone off high votes for tiebreaks, especially in the first round. I 'switched' to most votes last year and in the one instance it was a factor, it was a little controversial, and I only used it then because both songs looked fairly even on proportion of high votes. Here however, one of the songs involved CLEARLY has more high votes and so would be almost guaranteed next round support, but also several less votes overall. So this is the cop-out decision but I'll be the one to deal with 61 songs in the final. Additionally, any further 25th/26th tiebreaks in the remaining rounds will also qualify both songs.

In other news, Crystal Castles' unusual AQ up until last year, when they fell out at a high 37th, is not repeated in the slightest this year as they fall well short of the qualifying zone. But then it's also worth noting that Foals' Spanish Sahara, sitting in the bottom 5 now, was an AQ at one point in this game. Other previous qualifiers not repeating their stint are Plan B's Stay Too Long, SHM's One, and bunched up against the qualifying zone are Parachute, Starstrukk and Mine.

26th 192
25th 192
24th 202
2nd 345
1st 374

So, the qualifiers:

Adele - Make You Feel My Love
Alexandra Burke - Start Without You
Biffy Clyro - Many Of Horror
Brandon Flowers - Crossfire
David Guetta (feat. Rihanna) - Who's That Chick
Diana Vickers - Once
Drake - Find Your Love
Eliza Doolittle - Pack Up
Ellie Goulding - Your Song
Ellie Goulding - The Writer
Ellie Goulding - Guns And Horses
Example - Kickstarts
Florence & The Machine - You've Got The Love
Gabriella Cilmi - On A Mission
Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill
Kelis - 4th Of July (Fireworks)
Kelly Rowland (feat. David Guetta) - Commander
Lady Antebellum - Need You Now
Magnetic Man - Perfect Stranger (feat. Katy B)
Marina & The Diamonds - I Am Not A Robot
Owl City - Fireflies
Plan B - She Said
Swedish House Mafia vs Tinie Tempah - Miami 2 Ibiza
Taio Cruz - Dynamite
Timbaland (feat. Katy Perry) - If We Ever Meet Again
xx - Islands

Plenty of new ones this time biggrin.gif Fireflies makes it in after falling short in its attempt to return last time round, the covers of Adele and Florence make what I feel is their first appearance here, indie faves from Gorillaz (YES) and the xx make it in, along with Plan B's other good song from this era and underrated pop from Eliza Doolittle and Kelis. And Taio Cruz' brand of dancepop has retained fans too. Ellie Goulding is clearly the dominator here, all three of hers make it through this time at a point where Your Song couldn't make it last time - one of them surely has to be a new AQ?

2011 results and new rounds after I've eaten.

Ah yes was that the heartbreaking exclusion of Lost & Not Found? Here's hoping it can make the cut proper this year round!

Fantastic to see Drake through there. However very disappointed all of Watercolour, Take Over Control & One (Your Name) all came quite close.

Indeed, against Miguel's Adorn. Which then went on to do fairly well in the final (even if it did fall back out to round 1 again). I hope Lost & Not Found makes it through this year because of that.
