Round 12 sees VV Brown eliminated after her first battle, with Shark In The Water losing out on a vote of 13-10. The song was released in the summer of 2009 and (iirc) was a forum fave back in the day! The song seemed like a burgeoning hit in the run up to its release, yet only managed a peak of #34 in the end. It also marks the only time VV Brown has registered on the UK chart. :o The song did manage a top 20 peak in France and also entered the US Billboard Hot 100 so it had some success!

 

Round 13 sees Gweve take on another song from 2009 - this time sleeper hit Paper Planes by M.I.A! :cheer:

Let Me Blow Ya Mind.

Eve again, I really can't stand Paper Planes.

No one on the corner has swagga like M.I.A.

Love 'Paper Planes' and voted for it, but not sure I'd call it a summer song - its Top 40 runs were entirely within Septemeber to March.

Sorry, that was an oversight on my part. :lol: I saw it on a few summer playlists and misremembered it being big during the summer.
