Voting has now closed, thanks to the 26 who did vote - so let's take a look at the five songs that are going direct to the final, and the five that will be given a second chance in the wildcard round. In order from 10th to first, here are your qualifiers.

10th - The Chainsmokers – Selfie (2014) (54 points)


Before The Chainsmokers became the biggest dance act of the moment they broke through with novelty song 'Selfie', intended to be a parody of nightclub and selfie culture as well as of the current EDM scene. For a while people thought they'd disappear as soon as they came but they cleverly reinvented themselves with 'Roses' and have been a constant presence in the charts since.

9th - Dana International – Diva (1998) (59 points)


Israeli pop singer Dana International won the Eurovision Song Contest in Birmingham in 1998, the last time the UK hosted the contest, with the song 'Diva' - also becoming the first transgender person to win the contest. Like many Eurovision acts though no more hits would follow. It is also the only song sung in Hebrew to make the official chart - not that I've fact checked but it's probably a safe assumption.

8th - Bruno Mars – Marry You (2011) (64 points)


The fourth single taken from Mars' debut album 'Doo-Wops & Hooligans', it followed three solo #1s as well as another as a featured act. Well he couldn't quite make it to #1 this time, or even the top ten, but the song still stuck around for, in my opinion, far too long. Even one week in the chart would've been too long though.

7th - Jennifer Hudson – Spotlight (2008) (70 points)


Jennifer Hudson finished 7th in American Idol in 2004 and subsequently featured in films such as Dreamgirls and Sex and the City, before releasing her debut single (outside of film soundtracks) in 2008, 'Spotlight'. The song peaked at #11 on two occasions in an impressive run of seven weeks in the top 15 but never quite making the top 10. She'd eventually get there in 2015 alongside Iggy Azalea on 'Trouble'.

6th - Justin Timberlake – Lovestoned (2007) (80 points)


Taken as the fourth single from 'FutureSex/LoveSounds' following three top five hits and a recent number one as a featured artist was going to be tough but 'Lovestoned' did well for itself peaking just outside the top 10. Timberlake now has 18 top 10 hits to his name so I'm sure he's not too annoyed by this one missing out.

5th - The Proclaimers – I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) (1988) (82 points)


One of the most well known songs to come from Scotland ever, which surprisingly missed the top 10 although it did eventually make it to #1 in 2007 as a remake featuring Brian Potter and Andy Pipkin for Comic Relief - though the two songs count as separate chart entries.

4th - Mans Zelmerlow – Heroes (2015) (86 points)


Another Eurovision winner now, this one more recent and it comes from Sweden who've had quite a few winners now. 'Heroes' just missed out on a place in the top 10 due to lack of streams but it did a lot better than the two winners that followed, one of which only just made the top 100 and the other missing the top 200 entirely. And of course, this is Mans's only hit single.

3rd - Beyoncι – Hold Up (2016) (93 points)


Beyoncι dropped the album 'Lemonade' without even having to do pre-release promo, because the release of a Beyoncι album is now seen as a major news event. Anyway this became the biggest selling album track from its release and was quickly chosen to be the first single, eventually peaking at #11 but the position could have been a fair bit higher if she actually put her album on Spotify. Not that she cares about missing the top ten, when she has loads of critical acclaim, fans, fame, money, etc.

2nd - Muse – Plug In Baby (2001) (107 points)


'Plug In Baby', taken as the first single from their second album 'Origin of Symmetary' became Muse's highest peaking track at the time and now is still one of their most recognisable tracks, but even I'm surprised at just how high it is here. Beating Beyoncι, on Buzzjack?? ohmy.gif It's a good tune though. Anyway their success would of course only continue, eventually scoring four top 10 singles and five #1 albums.

1st - Miley Cyrus – Party In The USA (2009) (115 points)


Well of course this was going to be #1 here, because for some reason this is widely praised on Buzzjack. I still don't like it though oops. It became her third #11 single, and it appears it won't be her last because 'Malibu' looks likely to keep its current #11 peak.

Onto the rest of the results now, poor Angel City and Joey Negro just miss out on places but do quite well thanks to dance bloc votes.

Ofra Haza - Im Nin'alu (#15 in 1988) is another.

Oh no, two of my favourite 00s dance songs there, both of which I remember hearing and liking on radio/music channels when they were released!
