Two maximums in a row for Vicious Pink, surely must be miles in front by now? Jade really is the queen of spin off style contests!

With two 12s from the last two voters, Vicious Pink surely have an unassailable lead now. John Foxx is still in 2nd place while 10 points from fiesta move Depeche Mode up from 5th to 3rd. 13 points for Soft Cell take them into the top 10.

 

I'm not sure I'd have called Vicious Pink as such a runaway winner but I'm here for it if it holds that, an inspired choice and a good song (and always happy to see Jade picking up wins in every contest going of course!)

 

Can I still drop into last for the Brade bookends? :lol:

Secret Service are a Swedish group formed in 1979. Flash In The Night was a top 20 hit in several countries. The group finished in 1987 but were revived in 2006.

Thanks :)

While Vicious Pink would be a great winner why are we treating the other French entry so badly? :'(

I know - I thought they were both great but I actually gave Ansel’s more points than Jade’s!

(although very here for the French representation at the top!)

After trying to enter Soft Cell, who were already taken, Suedehead chose a song by their Some Bizarre label mates, Naked Lunch. The group were formed in 1979 by Tony Mayo but this line-up only lasted until 1981. Tony has continued to use the Naked Lunch name, helped by various other musicians over the years.

 

 

Thanks for organising this. Here are my votes.

 

12 Vicious Pink - Cccan't You See (French Extended Mix)

10 Psyche - Misery

8 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Telegraph

7 Camouflage - The Great Commandment

6 Pet Shop Boys - Paninaro

5 Charlie - Spacer Woman

4 Depeche Mode - Strangelove

3 A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran

2 Secret Service - Flash In The Night

1 Book Of Love - Boy

The lack of success for the Bladerunner theme is frankly shocking. It's one of the greatest pieces of music ever. I had to drop it from my top points because I already knew it.

Oh great choice Suede - that was right up my street! Well, this whole spin-off was to be fair :lol:

 

and... thank you so much for 12 <3 <3

Vicious Pink are out of sight now with a 42 point lead! There's still a close battle for 2nd place with Depeche Mode currently occupying that position. 19 points from the last two voters move Camouflage up from 8th to 4th.

Wow, very deserved lead for Vicious Pink! Why did it flop so hard on release? Lack of promo/airplay?

 

Glad you liked Papa Dance Colm, thank you for the points!

It was dance mod Daan who entered this disco sounding song from the Italian trio, Luciano Ninzatti, Stefano Pulga and Matteo Bonsanto, known collectively as Kano. Can't Hold Back (Your Lovin') is from their second album, 'New York Cake'.
