Thanks to all who voted in the weekly March rounds of this poll series. Time for the monthly round, wrapping up the first quarter of the year.

 

To participate in this please post in this thread with a ranking of all the songs using the Eurovision voting system, i.e.:

 

+12 your favourite song

+10 your 2nd favourite song

+8 ...

+7 ...

+6 ...

+5 ...

+4 ...

+3 ...

+2 your 9th favourite song

+1 your 10th favourite song

 

Please make sure you have heard all songs before voting, there aren't many of them and you should know most if not all of them already and we should have weeded out the obvious deadwood in the weekly rounds! A handy Spotify playlist is provided below if needed x

 

Here are the songs that made the cut this month:

 

Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding - Miracle

Gorillaz - Silent Running (feat. Adeleye Omotayo)

Hozier - Eat Your Young

KAROL G and Shakira - TQG

Lana Del Rey - Paris, Texas (feat. SYML)

Mae Muller - I Wrote A Song

Miley Cyrus - River

Nothing But Thieves - Welcome To The DCC

RAYE - Flip A Switch.

Zara Larsson - Can't Tame Her

 

And here's this month's Spotify playlist, clocking in at 33 minutes and 44 seconds:

 

 

The 3 songs with the most points will qualify for the yearly round while 4th will go to a playoff round with a chance to also make the yearly round and 5th and below will be eliminated.

 

Will post the results for this alongside those for weekly round 15 (so likely open for just a bit over 1 week, sorry that's a bit less than the 2 weeks I usually aim for but tbf it probably doesn't really need to be open that long anyway).

Here are the full weekly numbers for the auto-qualifiers, qualifiers and also-rans from this month:

Actually very close this time to the auto-qualifier distinction mattering - 'Paris, Texas' does just barely make the top 10 of the month anyway as it were, but if it had finished 11th instead (say, if there had been 51 votes in the poll last week instead of 50) it would still have made the list for the monthly round over Fred again.. due to winning the weekly poll.

 

A couple of the March polls had far fewer votes than the other 3 for whatever reason so Hozier makes it in despite having fewer votes than 4 songs that miss out (while KAROL G and RAYE also have qualifiers that had fewer votes than at least one DNQ - I suspect KAROL G's qualification is also a bit flukey in part due to there being so few options in her weekly poll, but not sure how I'd be able to control for that other than further emphasising that people can just click null vote if there's nothing they want to vote for!)
