Thanks to all who voted in the weekly (for real this time) January rounds of this poll series. Time for the monthly round.

 

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:

 

21 Savage - redrum

Ariana Grande - yes, and?

Becky Hill and Sonny Fodera - Never Be Alone

Benson Boone - Beautiful Things

The Cast Of Wonka - You've Never Had Chocolate Like This

Ella Henderson - Alibi (feat. Rudimental)

Kygo and Ava Max - Whatever

The Last Dinner Party - Nothing Matters

Lost Frequencies and Bastille - Head Down

Noah Kahan - Homesick (w/ Sam Fender / solo)

 

And here's this month's Spotify playlist, clocking in at 36 minutes and 32 seconds (again including both versions of the Noah Kahan song, feel free to rank based on either version - though I've stuck to only including the full version of 'You've Never Had Chocolate Like This' rather than also including the superfluous shorter solo Timothée Chalamet version).

 

 

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.

 

For the first time in a while this monthly round is going up on schedule so will be aiming to keep it open for 2 weeks, so a deadline of the night of Sunday 18th February.

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

The Wonka song got just about enough votes to make the top 10 regardless of its auto-qualifier status (if it had got 2 fewer votes it would have ranked 11th but qualified in place of The Lumineers). Happy to see 21 Savage making it here with a solo track!
