Clear cut for me this week - 'Starboy', 'no tears left to cry' and 'Castle On The Hill' for best (French/Swae and George would round out my top 5) and the lifeless cover of 'Dancing On My Own' for worst (out of the ones included anyway, my actual least favourite from today's session was 'I Would Like').

Loads of good stuff this week - I couldn't decide between the three Calvin songs so didn't put any of them in, oops (Rag'n'Bone Man also got doubly unlucky) - but I voted for Major Lazer, Sia (thanks to the version with Sean Paul), Kungs, Rita Ora and George Ezra.

 

Not many bad songs this week so some choices are a bit harsh, but it has to be Calum Scott's lifeless cover version for me.

I've voted for everything bar French Montana in the first poll as I'm not massively keen on that but it's still alright too.

 

Ed for worst. That's one of his worst for me.

Ok, Dimelo issabop idc what anyone else said.

Voted for Ariana Grande and Mark Ronson/Miley Cyrus as my favourites :wub: and 'Dancing On My Own' for worst :zzz:

Wow there's 9 songs in the first poll that I genuinely really like, 5 of which even made #1 on my chart at a time when chart music rarely charted. So the 3 I didn't vote for are Castle on the Hill, Anywhere and Unforgettable.

 

Obviously an acoustic oh so sincere malling of one of the best songs of the decade has to get the vote for worst.

Lean On, Shine, Starboy, Nothing Breaks Like A Heart & Bad Guy for best.

 

Ed Sheeran worst.

Went for my top 5: Weeknd, Rita, Mark, Sia and Years & Years.

 

I’m the only vote so far for Fast Car for worst - have always found that infuriating. Dancing On My Own is very far from good but I feel gets slightly disproportionate levels of hate.

Sorry I couldn't quite make yesterday's but this is good selection, gone for Lean On, Starboy, Unforgettable, Anywhere, Nothing Breaks Like a Heart & bad guy.

 

Easy pick for Dancing on my Own for the other poll, one of the worst covers ever x (*insert mack25 rant about Nick Jonas being there too*)

Kind of wishing I had voted for 'Unforgettable' too now (I think I actually like it more than some songs I've voted for in previous polls, I just like sticking to 3 votes per poll), poor it being miles behind everything else here :kink:

I was a bit sad for Unforgettable being on 0 so glad it’s picked up a couple now!

 

We haven’t had an artist win twice in this series - could that change right in the final 2 weeks? (I’m thinking one of the current joint leaders will be favourite for next week so even though I voted for it sort of hoping that doesn’t win this one and we get 25 different artists taking it!)

Anyone care to break the tie? :)
