Miley Cyrus last by QUITE A WAY here, with only 6 votes compared to 11+ for everyone else. We lose quite a few AQs here, A&E and (one of Kylie's best :( ) Wow, Better In Time, Love Song, This Is The Life, A-Punk (which honestly has surprised me up to now by continually keeping the status every year so it had to happen eventually) and most notably a 14th placer last year, No Air, which ends up 40 places lower. At least it means there's at least one new face in this year's top 15.

If Gossip and the Klaxons were lucky last time, Propane Nightmares is doubly so. By about halfway through it was struggling to budge off the bottom lot, but it got a huge push in the last half of the results so much so that it secures qualification for another year. I'm incredibly pleased at that, it strikes me as the sort of song that'd struggle to get through the playoff round if it lost the AQ status. And Wearing My Rolex must be another of those as after BARELY qualifying at the last minute in round 1 it BARELY makes it to an AQ this time, big claps to that. Basshunter's Now You're Gone is another big overperformer given its position in the playoff. And Rehab just a few places below it was in the top 15 for a lot of this, I'm surprised it ended up as low as 26th, but there we go, still searching for that playoff qualifer.

 

By ONE point though, Work misses out on the opportunity to go further which is a bit gutting. I mean I don't particularly think the song is anything special but anything to upset a bit of the status quo is a good thing in my book. One Day Like This, Hometown Glory and Kids also miss out on their predicted places, but considering One Day Like This took a while to get going it's great that it ended where it did.

8 10 - Sam Sparro - Black And Gold 337

7 8 - Coldplay - Viva La Vida 340

6 3 - Katy Perry - Hot N Cold 352

 

Be Mine and Run almost lose their places but nevertheless this is still a comparatively fresh top 15, 4 Minutes follows the example of Sorry from 2006 to leap up from the 30s into nearly the top 10. And I Kissed A Girl does nearly as much. Hot N Cold, a former regular winner of this round, doesn't go straight to the final which is mildly surprising.

1 1 - Rihanna - Disturbia 468

 

It makes room for Don't Stop The Music to get in though, which I'm pleased enough with, along with the beautifully happy Fascination, making up a good top 5 for 2008. Good job everyone, I have no complaints with this lot.

like 2007 another set of great songs gaining AQ status! :D

 

Work definitely deserves top 15 over Be Mine though as good as that is :(

Woop for the big climb to the top 5 for 'Don't Stop The Music', one of her best songs. New AQs for Kanye and Wiley is also good. Elbow and Adele losing their top 15 status in favour of 'Piece Of Me' and 'I Kissed A Girl' though :/ That's rather a blow to this website's music taste.

Ach, too late this week remembering. 2007 voting would've made no difference but I definitely would've done here! :(

 

That crossed my mind but you hadn't been online for the past 8 hours so I decided to go ahead :( Making One Day Like This get into the top 15 I assume? Which would have been wonderful, shame.

*Predictable comment from me* I can't at the placings for Girls Aloud. :( Nevertheless that is a pretty good Top 15 overall! Lol at Chasing Pavements.

Yeah, I'd like to think I could've knocked Run out but doubt I'd have given Be Mine quite enough points. A-Punk easy through too :( And Hot N Cold into the top 5
