Oh good spot! It was definitely playlisted by Radio 2 at the time, but not sure if it was ever properly released.

She has got better recently

I'm quite sure it was released, and it's listed as such on Wikipedia's A Perfect Contradiction article but not on her discography page! Strange.

Good shout! If the general consensus is yes then I'll add it in!

 

Plus it would give us a perfect round number of 20 :P

I'm coming across as such a loon with these scores but shes got a good discography. I definitely think album two is my least favourite in terms of singles as the rest are brilliant. Guilty, Crybaby, Beauty Remains, Leave While I'm Not Looking and New York all deserved my 11 but I've gone with Guilty as I'm hooked! :wub:

'30 Minute Love Affair' is her absolute best, and in my mind one of the most underrated songs of the decade. Some of the scores I'm seeing for it are hurting me.
