'Messy' and 'Taste' are good but I think this week it's 'Full Attention' that deserves our, erm, full attention!

Going for Calum Hood, even though he's the act I am least aware of.

And Ed Sheeran.

Out of those options, it has to be Bliss. Sounds like it could be a huge summer song if given the right support.

Not included above, but shout out to Moncrieff’s Something To You.

My personal rankings for Week 19;

1. Tyla – Bliss

2. Tom Grennan – Full Attention

3. PinkPantheress – Illegal

4. Mark Ambor – Who Knows

5. Calum Hood – Call Me When You Know Better

6. Sophie Ellis-Bextor – Taste

7. ROSÉ – Messy [from F1® The Movie]

8. Miley Cyrus – More To Lose

Week 18 Tiebreaker;

1. MØ – Lose Yourself

2. Ed Sheeran – Old Phone

ROSÉ this week although the PinkPantheress one is good too, and MØ in the tiebreaker.

Calum Hood for me and Ed in the tiebreaker oop, wasn't a fan of the MØ song when I listened last week

Voted for PinkPantheress and MØ!

Final day for voting, who's going to go through to the next round of voting...

1 PinkPantheress

2 Calum Hood

3 Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Someone needs to break last week's tiebreak!
