Love Ssega) - Mozart's House As always, quite a number of new entries in this section, but also a number of songs which have taken quite heavy drops this year. Most notably ‘Bros’ and ‘22’ were nearly at the auto-qualify stage last year but both take heavy drops, further in the results you can see it isn’t the strongest opener for Taylor Swift (something I noted in the 2014 results too). Also to note, despite getting a nom ‘Thursday’ manages the feat of gaining 0pts; 1 less than last year. Almost There… 60 59 140 Imagine Dragons – Demons 59 NE 145 Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (feat.

Ellie Goulding) - I Need Your Love 36 NE 200 Saturdays - What About Us A few auto-qualifiers and 2 of last years semi-finalists take quite big hits here. ‘Young and Beautiful’, ‘You and Me’, ‘La La La’ ‘Youth’ and ‘Ribs’ would’ve all lost their auto-qaulifying spots next year had they still been eligible. Also a big drop for ‘Reflektor’ which is down 20 places and out of the semi-finals, but a bigger drop of 26 places for ‘Royals’ which placed in 12th last year but drops to 38 this year. The Saturdays finish in 36th place and just 2pts behind the song in 35th. Obviously all the songs are out next year, but they were close to gaining a would-be auto qualifying spot.

Louis M^ttrs) - Lost & Not Found Some more big drops here and a number of songs which lose their semi-final place. I noted that Taylor Swift didn’t have a strong vote; ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ slides 23 places this year and out of the semi-final zone. Similarly ‘Just Give Me a Reason’ drops 19 places to 32 and ‘Wake me Up’ drops 20 places to 31. ‘Another Love’ also registers a large drop out of the semi-finals area sliding from 9th to 26th. I guess the hype from last year has died down now, so its support wasn’t quite as strong. However a very strong year for other songs with a number of changes if the songs were still eligible next year. Most notably ‘Hard Out Here’ climbs 12 places to 30, ‘Roar’ climbs 5 places after just missing out last year, ‘#Beautiful’ climbs 25 places, ‘Animals’ climbs 15 and ‘Lost & Not Found’ misses out on the Semi-Finals by just 10 points.

Not too much change here apart from ‘Pompeii’ climbing 3 places this year to finish in 3rd place. ‘Do I Wanna Know?’ continues to dominate this year with ‘Get Lucky’ once again taking the runner-up slot. ‘Summertime Sadness’ and ‘The Mother We Share’ round out the top 5 and all proceed directly to the final round.

August 18, 20231 yr Oh poo at Wake Me Up dropping so much in its final year, and after making last year’s overall top 50. At least we have ICBTO scraping a semi-finalist position to make up for it somewhat. Hopefully that has enough top-heavy support to nab a final spot now. Pleasing to see big climbs for Wilkinson, Chase & Status and Martin Garrix too. Besides Wilkinson, those other semi-final additions are welcome too. Zedd gaining into the top 10 and Disclosure amazingly close to top five also great. Hopefully Disclosure actually make it past the semis this time.
August 18, 20231 yr As with 2014, happy with the song rising into the top 5 even if I do prefer the one it kicked out, and another couple of great climbers into the top 20 with 'Strong' and 'Chocolate' - a bit gutted that the 'Pure Heroine' songs are mostly bowing out with pretty bad results though </3 ah well, at least we still have 'Green Light' (and 'Tennis Court' having a climb even if still to a way too low position) x Also noooo so close to 'Lost & Not Found' making the semis for its swansong - has it ever got past the first round before? My memory for ROTD results always sucks oops. A bit sad at the big drop for 'Another Love' too.
