All my faves out now. :(

 

Here is so lyrically brilliant!

3. Charli XCX feat. Lil Yachty - After The Afterparty

 

 

 

Score: 80

Votes: 13

 

 

Finishing in third position are Charli XCX & Lil Yachty. Originally entering the top 40 last year at #34 it repeaked a month later at #29, becoming her sixth top 40 hit. It also outperforms Break The Rules from 2 years ago which finished 7th in that contest.

2. Beyoncé – Formation

 

 

 

Score: 84

Votes: 10

 

 

Runner-up this year goes to Beyoncé, with her final song in the running. Impressively scoring 84 points from only 10 votes, Formation peaked at #31 in the Charts despite predictions it would possibly even enter the top 10 following her Superbowl performance. Aside from the 6 entries this year, Beyoncé finished in 6th 2 years ago with XO. This takes the silver medal but in the end just couldn't quite keep up with our winner...

1. Dua Lipa – Blow Your Mind (Mwah)

 

 

 

Score: 94

Votes: 16

 

 

So it's congratulations to the 2016 winner, Dua Lipa :winner: Having broken through with top 20 hit Hotter Than Hell, follow-up Blow Your Mind was unable to match its success, peaking at a disappointing #30. This was not to continue into 2017 however, with 2 top 10 hits & perhaps soon 3 under her belt ahead of her debut album release & a resounding win in this contest to soften the blow of the low peak, things are looking bright for Miss Lipa!

 

Thank you to all participants in this year's comp, full stats will be posted in the OP at some undetermined point in the future.

Obvious winner really, and a disappointing one at that. :(

 

Thanks for this! :)

Full final results & both Semis edited into first post, over & out.
