Posted October 17, 20159 yr http://www.popjustice.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/popjustice-2015-twenty-quid-header.jpg As always, the unofficial counterpart to the Mercury Prize has been announced with the following 12 songs all in competition for £20: ‘BLACK MAGIC’ by Little Mix ‘BODY TALK’ by Foxes ‘DON’T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF’ by Jess Glynne ‘I LOVED YOU’ by Blonde and Melissa Steel ‘I’M A RUIN’ by Marina & The Diamonds ‘KING’ by Years & Years ‘LOSING’ by Becky Hill ‘LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO’ by Ellie Goulding ‘SEASONS’ by Olly Murs ‘THE THRILL’ by Nero ‘TURN THE MUSIC LOUDER (RUMBLE)’ by KDA, Tinie Tempah and Katy B ‘UPTOWN FUNK’ by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars EXCELLENT choices for the most part and possibly one of my favourite lists that I've seen them do. Not heard 'Seasons' and 'The Thrill' though but I LOVE the other 10 songs.
October 17, 20159 yr Great list, 100% has to be Black Magic for me but I'd love Losing as an underrated pick! Uptown Funk can die though.
October 17, 20159 yr Black Magic to win? My money is on that or maybe King :thinking: Those two + LMLYD are the best so any of them would do me fine.
October 17, 20159 yr I'd have Shine over King, personally. My ranking would be 1) ‘I’M A RUIN’ by Marina & The Diamonds 2) ‘LOSING’ by Becky Hill 3) ‘BODY TALK’ by Foxes 4) ‘BLACK MAGIC’ by Little Mix 5) ‘KING’ by Years & Years 6) ‘I LOVED YOU’ by Blonde and Melissa Steel 7) ‘DON’T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF’ by Jess Glynne 8) ‘TURN THE MUSIC LOUDER (RUMBLE)’ by KDA, Tinie Tempah and Katy B 9) ‘UPTOWN FUNK’ by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars 10) ‘THE THRILL’ by Nero 11) ‘LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO’ by Ellie Goulding 12) ‘SEASONS’ by Olly Murs (not heard) Edited October 17, 20159 yr by Joe.

October 17, 20159 yr Knowing Popjustice's taste, I'd probably say 'I'm a Ruin' will win. Peter loves the song a huge amount and the song won the Marina full discography rate on there earlier this year. I just listened to 'Seasons' and it seems like an odd choice. I really hope 'Losing' can do well.
October 17, 20159 yr Any of Love Me Like You Do/Black Magic/King to win please but as everyone has said, very strong setahbangerz
October 17, 20159 yr Ellie Goulding for the win, I be happy with King as well Seems odd seeing KDA in there, its only been released this week :huh:
October 17, 20159 yr Nice to see 'Seasons' nominated. It won't win of course, but it's nice to see anyway. I should like Years & Years or Little Mix to win.
October 18, 20159 yr I'm A Ruin is my favourite there by some distance now. Stunning song and glad to see it being recognised :wub: My full ranking~ ‘I’M A RUIN’ by Marina & The Diamonds ‘KING’ by Years & Years ‘I LOVED YOU’ by Blonde and Melissa Steel ‘BLACK MAGIC’ by Little Mix ‘UPTOWN FUNK’ by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars ‘TURN THE MUSIC LOUDER (RUMBLE)’ by KDA, Tinie Tempah and Katy B ‘BODY TALK’ by Foxes ‘DON’T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF’ by Jess Glynne ‘LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO’ by Ellie Goulding ‘LOSING’ by Becky Hill ‘THE THRILL’ by Nero ‘SEASONS’ by Olly Murs
October 18, 20159 yr A great/solid list this year! Nothing below a 6 out of 10. 'Black Magic' is the very, clear highlight though *.* (So they probs won't win and I'm going to say Marina will win!) 01. ‘BLACK MAGIC’ by Little Mix 02. ‘LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO’ by Ellie Goulding 03. ‘UPTOWN FUNK’ by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars 04. ‘I’M A RUIN’ by Marina & The Diamonds 05. ‘KING’ by Years & Years 06. ‘DON’T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF’ by Jess Glynne 07. ‘BODY TALK’ by Foxes 08. ‘THE THRILL’ by Nero 09. ‘SEASONS’ by Olly Murs 10. ‘I LOVED YOU’ by Blonde and Melissa Steel 11. ‘TURN THE MUSIC LOUDER (RUMBLE)’ by KDA, Tinie Tempah and Katy B 12. ‘LOSING’ by Becky Hill
October 18, 20159 yr 02. ‘LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO’ by Ellie Goulding I'm glad you kept that little tit bit of information to yourself Jonjo. :angry:
