I knew Bob Dylan wouldn't get through, but those are decent returns for him and also The Thompson Twins who I couldn't quite fit in my votes.

 

I didn't realise Rita Ora had that Top 10s record - looks like she's since been joined by Jess Glynne on 13, with Dua Lipa on 12 and Adele on 11 perhaps likely to overtake at some point.

While it's still too low, I'm actually quite impressed Bob Dylan made it this far, least respect we can do for Rolling Stone's best song of all time :P It's worthy of that, some beautiful organ and wordplay throughout.

 

Didn't realise how high these scores would be even lower down, wow.

I thought Dannii and Anastacia picked up more votes than that !
3 tracks I love there - as others have said Dylan deserved better but not unexpected; not a Rita fan especially but have a big soft spot for Let You Love Me and adore Breakout. :heart:
Too low for 'Mrs. Robinson' though I didn't expect that to do amazingly well tbf. Glad that Rita song is out, one of her worst.

Rita Ora loses both her songs on consecutive days. Lonely Together was the seventh and last top 5 single for Avicii.

 

well I suppose 40th is decent enough for LT if Levels could only have placed 26th but boo at neither Avicii song making it through. :(

38. Tori Amos - Cornflake Girl 219pts

 

Writer - Tori Amos

Top points - Bjork 25, dandy* 25, Dorothea 24

 

From 1994, this was the first of three top 10 singles for Tori Amos. Her sixteenth album was released last year and she is currently on a European tour.

 

Cornflake Girl was my @1 <3 definetely best @4 ever

 

Sadly the EU tour has been cancelled and shes only playing the Uk/ireland dates

3 more losses for me - Kiss the Rain, Cornflake Girl and Antidote. :cry:

 

I love all 6 Swedish House Mafia singles from One to Don’t You Worry Child and I used to listen to

them as a mini album.

Billie Myers is from Coventry?! I always assumed she was American for some reason!

 

'Cornflake Girl' is up there with Tori's best, it was close to getting points from me, shame to lose it this early really.

Love love love Kiss the Rain - such a shame it’s gone out

Yeah it's a tune. I loved the follow up 'Tell Me' just as much tbh.

I’ve lots a number of my big pointers. Not a good round for me. I’ll be interested to see what survives !
