July 29, 20168 yr Author RESULTS: 60 NE 24 Adele - Cold Shoulder 102 59 22 - H Two O (feat. Platnum) - What's It Gonna Be 106 58 NE 6 Kanye West (feat. Chris Martin) - Homecoming 128 57 56 16 Eric Prydz - Pjanoo 134 56 35 - Wiley - Wearing My Rolex 138 55 44 20 Jordin Sparks (feat. Chris Brown) - No Air 138 54 39 21 Amy Macdonald - This Is The Life 141 53 43 22 Rihanna - Take A Bow 143 52 51 17 T.I. (feat. Rihanna) - Live Your Life 144 51 42 18 Kylie Minogue - In My Arms 146 50 50 9 Gabriella Cilmi - Sweet About Me 148 49 RE 14 Duffy - Warwick Avenue 149 48 53 15 Duffy - Mercy 151 47 34 - Pendulum - Propane Nightmares 153 46 32 - Alesha Dixon - The Boy Does Nothing 153 45 58 8 Adele - Chasing Pavements 155 44 26 - Rihanna - Rehab 157 43 54 19 Ladyhawke - My Delirium 158 42 45 13 Sara Bareilles - Love Song 160 41 48 10 Sugababes - Denial 162 40 57 25 Goldfrapp - A&E 163 39 41 23 Girls Aloud - Can't Speak French 165 38 36 12 Utah Saints - Something Good '08 166 37 31 - Kanye West - Love Lockdown 166 36 49 3 Coldplay - Violet Hill 176 Poor new Adele has to make with the wooden spoon but Cold Shoulder was lucky to get through in the first place. H Two O falls back out after a unprecedented good performance last year but that's the highest AQ dropout, nothing hugely shocking unlike with 2009 - although Propane Nightmares was making a name for itself with narrowly retaining AQ status yet sadly loses it here. The playoff bronze Violet Hill is held out of an AQ by an Alphabeat song I don't particularly rate, cheers Rob xx 35 40 4 Alphabeat - Boyfriend 177 34 47 5 Beyoncé - If I Were A Boy 187 33 25 - Adele - Hometown Glory 196 32 RE 2 Ting Tings - That's Not My Name 198 31 RE 11 Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved 200 30 55 7 Kylie Minogue - Wow 203 29 38 1 September - Cry For You 203 28 28 - Guru Josh Project - Infinity 2008 204 27 21 - Basshunter - Now You're Gone 211 26 24 - Dizzee Rascal (feat. Calvin Harris & Chrom3) - Dance Wiv Me 213 25 14 - Leona Lewis - Run 222 24 23 - Girls Aloud - The Promise 223 23 33 - MGMT - Time To Pretend 225 22 20 - Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire 232 21 29 - Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor 234 20 11 - Madonna (feat. Justin Timberlake) - 4 Minutes 234 19 16 - Kelly Rowland - Work 245 18 10 - Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl 245 17 15 - Robyn - Be Mine! 250 16 13 - Kings Of Leon - Use Somebody 255 Not as much BIG change as in 2009 but that cover of Snow Patrol's classic finally does not advance to a further stage, with 4 Minutes, Use Somebody, I Kissed A Girl and Be Mine! who also don't go along with it. Qualifiers do pretty poorly here but the winner, Cry For You secures an AQ for the first time - it's previously only finished at the bottom of yearly finals as well as 38th last year so this is a good improvement. 15 18 - Elbow - One Day Like This 261 14 17 - MGMT - Kids 265 13 12 - Britney Spears - Piece Of Me 265 12 30 - P!nk - So What 272 11 5 - Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music 273 10 19 - Estelle (feat. Kanye West) - American Boy 276 9 8 - Sam Sparro - Black And Gold 285 8 2 - Saturdays - Up 292 7 6 - Katy Perry - Hot N Cold 292 6 27 - Killers - Human 297 Elbow are through! With less built in support I had pretty much given up on them but Rob, you are WONDERFUL for getting this classic through (and as such I forgive you for putting Violet Hill out). So What and Human are also big risers from last year but... Human was going to go straight to the final before Rob voted so we're back on neutral ground now. Try again next time you're the last voter :magic: 5 4 - Alphabeat - Fascination 306 4 9 - Britney Spears - Womanizer 322 3 1 - Rihanna - Disturbia 351 2 3 - M.I.A - Paper Planes 371 1 7 - Coldplay - Viva La Vida 379 And the first winner not to repeat their domination goes to Disturbia, which falls to what was a huge duel between Paper Planes and Viva La Vida (and WHAT a top 2, and indeed top 5, that is *.*, three of my top 5, almost 4 but...). Viva La Vida eventually won through, again on the last vote, which I'm delighted with. Womanizer also rises back up and Fascination repeats its good performance from last year to also head straight to the final.
July 29, 20168 yr Yay for Paper Planes :wub: and Elbow elbowing out 'Use Somebody'! great result for Hot Chip as well
July 29, 20168 yr Fantastic to see Infinity 2008 & especially Cry For You AQ at long last! Dafuq at What's It Gonna Be so low :huh: and SO close for Human too :( Either way that's a much better & varied top 5 so yay for that.
July 29, 20168 yr Well that nicely makes up for 2009's results, G'WAN VIVA LA VIDA :wub: (and Elbow just sneaking in there too!)
July 29, 20168 yr YES at Viva La Vida! :wub: What a result. Win the whole thing pls. Good outcomes there for The Killers/P!nk/Elbow climbing into the top 15 too, plus The Script getting an AQ <3 (although GAH at the 3 songs just outside the AQ slots).
July 29, 20168 yr What a glorious winner there, g'won Coldplay :wub: A shame to see Utah Saints not doing so well though :(
July 29, 20168 yr Surprised womaniser is the popular Britney song compared to Piece of Me. One is her best work and the other is super bland. Also surprised at Disturbia being so popular, I know it's Rihanna but that shit is generic AF.
