Oh I'd forgotten all about Midnight Sky - yes that is by far the most likely to win

14 to go and 5 of my top 10 are still in the running with only one song (albeit my least favourite) of my bottom 10 remaining. Favourite of these was 'Blind Faith' which was my final cut from the initial list.

you’re an expert troller Big Fat Sue, have to hand it to you haha xx

'Fluorescent Adolescent' is one of my personal fave Arctics songs. Great showing for that and 'I'm Like A Bird' is also good as well.

He's been on a relentless mission today to invent facts that can easily be disproven at the click of a button. :lol:

'Blind Faith' is an absolute tune :wub:

'I'm Like A Bird' is pretty good from Nelly Furtado even if it's not quite up there with her best (i.e. 'Try', and I'll have no arguments against that).

'Fluorescent Adolescent' is a bit of a classic too, from back when the Arctics used to release properly good albums.

'

'Blind Faith' being comfortably top 20 feels like a pretty good result... and then I remember that it's still behind that En Vogue dirge that's somehow still not out yet ddd. What a song though :wub: 'I'm Like A Bird' still one of my faves, if not my absolute fave, from Nelly's discography (which is actually a lot stronger than I'd tend to think looking over it), and 'Fluorescent Adolescent' is great too though not one of my absolute faves from the Monkeys.

 

Really hope 'Midnight Sky' isn't actually in contention to win... it would already feel a bit too high for me if it dropped out next.

oh love those 3

was a huge fan of Nelly Furtado since day 1 although I do prefer other songs from her (Try, Turn ff the lights, Promiscuous, Maneater). She has so many classics.

Fluorescent Adolescent is great from AM. One of the best opening lines ever.

 

'Say It Right' remains Nelly F's absolute best for me.

From 2020, this is the most recent song to reach the final. It was Dua Lipa's tenth top 10 single.

This is the highest placed song from the 1980s. It was one of three top 10 hits from the number 1 album 'Tango In The Night'.

 

It was great to be reminded of 'Crying For No Reason' this evening at the latest U.K. Album #1s session! Still a gorgeous song.

All 3 brilliant today.

 

Sad to see Little Lies miss the Top 10 - it’s easily my favourite Fleetwood Mac song.

 

Funny that Crying For No Reason came up in today’s album listen through session covering 2014. Such a powerful pop song - it really still hits me every time.

 

And Levitating is right up there with the best pop songs of the last few years.

 

Rooting for Babylon now.

I think Blind Faith, Crying for No Reason and Bohemian Like You are the ones I like the most that I'd have liked to see in the top 10, but still a lot of great ones still in (although I do agree Don't Let Go feels way too high x)

Another three gems today and they all deserve to be in the top 10 tbh.

 

I love that whole disco-ballad sound of 'Crying For No Reason' and it remains Katy's best for me.

'Levitating' isn't the best song on the album but it's from the best pop album of the past 5 years so it's still bloody good. Love the middle eight in particular, despite the fact that she rhymes 'blast off' with 'arse off' :lol:

'Little Lies' is easliy one of Fleetwood Mac's defining songs!

'Crying For No Reason' is stunning. It's the first song of hers I really got into after not getting the hype beforehand. 'Levitating' is fun also albeit lower down the singles rank from the era and 'Little Lies' is great too.

4 of my Top 10 remaining including my 50 pointer.

 

19 of my bottom 20 out!

I also have only one left from my bottom 20 (my +18) - I think it'll be out quite soon, but can see my +21 winning this... which wouldn't be the worst thing, although I'm hoping it's one of the 5 left from my top 10, or my +40.
