Especially bad for the two Arctics songs as alt music is often disadvantaged in any round. Give It To Me finishes last two years in a row, incidentally with one more point than last year. Shut Up And Drive repeats its performance that it does in most years too, strong finish in the playoff then loses most of its votes to stronger pop songs in the yearly final. Playoff bronze JoJo just misses out. And we lose two of the three new/reentries here as HelloGoodbye and 50 Cent don't pick up huge support. Big falls for Mason and Beyonce/Shakira, both in the top 20 last time but right down the bottom this year. 35 43 13 Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby 201 34 19 - Ida Corr & Fedde Le Grand - Let Me Think About It 201 33 49 6 Christina Aguilera - Candyman 202 32 12 - Groove Armada (feat.

Neither will the likes of The Sweet Escape, Destination Calabria and When You're Gone, that one being the highest of the qualifiers this time. There was a tiebreak over the last two votes I was deciding have qualified The Pretender over Apologize (PSA: now I'm a bit more sorted, for the finals the criteria used will be firstly votes that had the song in their top 10 (+25 to +16), then number of votes, and the Foos had 9 to OneRepublic's 5), but Jay swooped in and put the other Timbaland song in ahead of both of these. 15 9 - Timbaland (feat. Keri Hilson & DOE) - The Way I Are 252 14 24 - Justin Timberlake - What Goes Around...

No No No 382 A big clap for the Timberlake and Fergie as they secure places to the semis in lieu of Song 4 Mutya and Valerie, all of last year's top 10 are in here with the biggest mover into the top ten being PARAMORE 5 3 - Girls Aloud - Call The Shots 408 4 5 - Amy Winehouse - Back To Black 414 3 2 - Robyn - With Every Heartbeat 450 2 4 - Sugababes - About You Now 503 1 1 - Rihanna (feat. Jay-Z) - Umbrella 530 Yeah, the top 5, and indeed the top 8 is the same as last year, we've got a well-solidified contingent up here. I expect most of you will be very happy about this, they are all indeed strong songs. Notably though, last year's winner has gone down from finishing in 2nd last time to 3rd this time - so is that an early sign that it won't defend its title or not? Umbrella beat it last year as well in this round and all songs start on equal footing in the final...
July 26, 20168 yr Pretty poor trade of AQs there, Mason/T2/Klaxons/Mark & Daniel are sad departures and most of the new ones aren't too great (bleh at how low Hellogoodbye finished as well). Yay for Alex Gaudino and double Fall Out Boy I guess, and happy to see Justin climbing into the top 15.
