The vote for ‘Changing’ completely collapses this year dropping from 39 to 84, we also see a big drop for ‘Iron Sky’ which plummets from 27 to 66 – it’s managed to reach the AQ zone the last couple of years but this year its vote really dried up. There are some big climbs though most notably for ‘Sledgehammer’ which ascends from 105 to 64 in its final year. Also doing well in its last year is ‘Wild Heart’ which climbs 40 places this year to 62. Also to note, despite getting a nomination ‘Drunk Tonight’ failed to pick up any points at all and sits rock bottom of the results.

There will be no AQ for this year next year, but I guess shows what would’ve happened. There are some big climbs though with ‘Every Other Freckle climbing from 95 to 39 to have a strong finishes, ‘Monument’ also climbs from 82 to 41 to end its ROTD run on a high. ‘Budapest’ misses out of the would-be AQ by 2pts.

Jay-Z) - Drunk in Love 21 22 190 G.R.L - Ugly Heart Some more big changes here for the would be Auto-Qualifyers for next year… if all these songs weren’t ineligible for next year. ‘My Silver Lining’ is a big climber, rising from 76 to 34, ‘She Looks So Perfect climbs from 63 to 33 and ‘Blame’ climbs 11 places to 31. ‘Sunlight’ failed to pick up a nomination last year, so this year is a big new entry at 32. We also have climbs for ‘I Got U’ at 28 and ‘Love Me Harder’ which climbs 12 places at 25. Whilst there are some big climbers, there are some big drops too; we lose another 3 of last years Semi-Finalists as ‘Blank Space’ slides 11 places to 24, ‘Luna’ drops from 8 to 23’ and ‘Drunk in Love’ falls 8 places to 22. ‘Ugly Heart’ climbs a place and misses the Semi-Finals by 2pts.

Last year it was 50pts ahead of ‘Habits’ but this year trails it by 79pts. ‘Habit’s meanwhile climbs a place to hit the top spot – its been gunning for the number 1 for a few years and seemed to be growing in popularity, it gained points from all bar 7 voters. ‘Chandelier’ also manages to climb a places and finishes 10pts behind ‘Habits’. Meanwhile the big story is a massive climb for ‘If I Could Change Your Mind’ which surges from 18th place to the top 5. It had a slow start, but an incredibly strong vote towards the end to see it take 5th place. Rounding out the top 5 is ‘Hideaway’ which climbs 2 places into the top 3.

August 17, 2024Aug 17 yes, very pleasing to see Hey Brother finally make the semi-finals and various other favourites keeping their places Walking With Elephants is a great surprise semi-finalist too not as keen about trading Ghost for If I Could Change Your Mind in the direct-to-finals but always good to have a bit of a shake-up within the top 5 I guess
