It’s a strong field - all the current tracks are pretty good and there are just 3 older tracks that I’m personally not keen on, though even those have their merits.

1 Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A Changin’ (I genuinely prefer Nina Simone’s version now but this is still outstanding lyricism)

2 Pet Shop Boys - Heart (their underrated #1 ❤️)

3 Chvrches - The Mother We Share (still gorgeous)

4 A-ha - Manhattan Skyline (great ‘80s drama)

5 Elton John - Bennie & The Jets (love the stomping piano rhythm)

6 Ellie Goulding - Lights (a sparkling song with so much personality)

7 James Blake & Rosalía - Barefoot In The Park (so gently atmospheric)

8 Disclosure & Mary J Blige - F For You (clever choice for Mary; a thumping dance track)

9 Rina Sawayama - Hold The Girl (has an epic dramatic feel)

10 Addison Rae - Headphones On (love her sound world)

11 Fifth Harmony - Sledgehammer (surprised by this - particularly enjoy the tempo change)

12 Christina Aguilera - Hurt (she has lungs and she’s gonna use them)

13 Damiano David - Voices (more very solid pop)

14 Sasami - Slugger (enjoyable again)

15 Enhypen - Drunk-Dazed (sort of K-pop meets Eurovision)

16 Charlie Puth & Selena Gomez - We Don’t Talk Anymore (quite of its time but decent)

17 Tom Aspaul - Cabin Fever (nothing new but not bad at all)

18 Enrique Iglesias & Nicole Scherzinger - Heartbeat (enjoyed this at the time: now it’s OK)

19 Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi (could the lyrics be any more obvious and it’s musically quite basic)

20 Walk The Moon - Shut Up And Dance (I quite liked their Round 1 song but this was always meh and has become irritatingly inescapable over time)

21 The Saturdays - Issues (it’s a slap not a kiss from me)

@Herbs @Brer @HarryGarfield

Approx. 41 hours left to vote and avoid a deduction for your artist!

Everything is VERY close at the moment if any non-participants want to get involved and vote too

Was going to give the songs one more listen but then realised I'm pretty much there!

My top 2 were pretty much always going to be my top 2 (barring one of the songs I'd never heard hitting me hard)

A few years ago Avril may have been higher but I actually think that's the song that was overplayed over the years.

The bottom 3 - I just don't connect to (sorry) but there are numerous songs by all 3 artists that I adore. Hoping to see them pop up in future rounds.
