Once again, here is the one rate to decide which song that missed the top 10 really should've peaked there. ;)

 

Thanks to the wonders of chart manipulation by the OCC, we've had more 'non-top 10' top 20 hits this year than in 2015, 2016 or 2017. There are 58 songs to vote from this year which means we will be going back to the top 15 system (after last year's top 10 as we only had 42 songs, many of which were Ed Sheeran album tracks).

 

Any song that entered in the top 20 for the first time in 2018 will be eligible, excluding songs that went on to make the top 10. This will include album tracks and Christmas songs (incidentally only 'Santa Tell Me' is eligible from the list of Christmas songs this year, the others had already been in the top 20).

 

I realise that 'Ruin My Life' may well be able to reach the top 10 next week, but for now it has been included.

 

(EXTRA ADDED NOTE)

 

As indeed 'Ruin My Life' is set to make this week's top 10, could anyone who has voted for that please add in another song to your ranking (if you haven't ranked more than 15 already) so I can take RML out of the game if it goes top 10.

 

I'll do PM reminders on Saturday if it is top 10.

 

'Ruin My Life' is now a top 10 hit so please leave it out of your votes.
