54. Rik Mayall - Noble England 76pts

 

Writers - William Shakespeare, Peter Andrew Hall, Dave Loughran

Top points - gasman449 25, CowTzy 17, rio309 11

 

The first of the four wildcards finishes in bottom place (did you see what I did there?). The song was released for the 2010 World Cup but wasn't a hit until the next one in 2014 following a campaign after Rik's death to get the single to number 1. The lyrics are adapted from a speech in the Shakespeare play 'Henry V'.

 

Not a surprise to see it last but I'm just glad Rik got a fair amount of points. Cheers everyone who voted!

53. Sparks - Amateur Hour 98pts

 

Writer - Ron Mael

Top points - seven. 25, AH Gold 21, Jade 16

 

Sparks' decision to relocate to the UK for their third album 'Kimono My House' and replace their American backing musicians with British ones was justified by the lead single 'This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both of Us' reaching number 2. Amateur Hour was the follow-up to that one.

52. Martin Garrix and Jay Hardway – Wizard 110 points

 

Writers - Martijn Garritsen, Jobke Heiblom

Top points - CowTzy 25, Jason 19, danae 17

 

CowTzy's wild card is the next to drop out. Wizard was Martin Garrix's follow-up to his number 1 single 'Animals'.

 

What are the rules in this round, how many songs qualify?

51. Shakespears Sister - I Don't Care 115pts

 

Writers - Siobhan Fahey, Marcella Detroit, Manu Guiot, Richard Feldman

Top points - dandy* 23, marcinjaro 21, Liamski689 18

 

And this is another follow-up to a number 1 single, in this case it's the eight week chart topper 'Stay'. The spoken part by Siobhan Fahey is from the poem 'Hornpipe' by Dame Edith Sitwell.

50. Chris Cornell - You Know My Name 131pts

 

Writers - Chris Cornell, David Arnold

Top points - Mack. 25, Maestro 22, rio309 22

 

Mack's wild card is the third to go. It was the theme to the 2006 James Bond film 'Casino Royale'. Chris Cornell had previously been the lead singer of the bands Soundgarden and Audioslave. He died in 2017.

 

No huge losses so far but I do love that Shakespear's Sister song (actually the whole album is pretty good).
54. Rik Mayall - Noble England 76pts

 

Writers - William Shakespeare, Peter Andrew Hall, Dave Loughran

Any collaboration between Shakespeare and Peter Andre would have been funnier than Noble England. :teresa:

Can't say I'm too bothered about any losses so far, even though I rather like Sparks and Shakespears' Sister's tracks.
Does this mean you're giving them 34 points? Because I'm all for that :P

 

Oops! I was rushing using someone else's votes as a template and missed that one! Just bung everything up one point below!
