Apologies for the delay! Life took over lol. The Zutons exit after just one round, their breakout hit Valerie peaked at #9 in the summer of 2006, with Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse famously covering it a year later, in turn cementing it as a classic! The Zutons must have made a mint on royalties!! :o Paper Planes survives another round to take on Lana Del Rey's 2013 hit remix of Summertime Sadness!

Has to be Paper Planes still.

Summertime Sadness easily, and I don't even rate it that highly.

Paper Planes still but I did love SS at the time

Not even big on Lana myself (hot take I know) but 'Summertime Sadness' in that remix was pretty good so voted for that.

Summertime Sadness! :wub:

Not bothered about the remix, but the original 'Summertime Sadness', which has way more streams by now, is stunning and just about gets my vote ahead of 'Paper Planes'.

^That's wild that the original has more streams than the remix considering the extent to which the remix overshadowed the original at the time (and is still the version I hear get played in the wild nowadays).

I'm going for the 'Summertime Sadness' remix, I had some good times on the dancefloor to that when it was out.

Paper Planes

Summertime Sadness.

A tie!

The next song is chosen now so a tie break would be very welcome. :kink:
