Tuesday at 10:192 days Author 52. Weiss- Feel My Needs (25 points)Writer: Richard DinsdaleProducer: WeissUK chart peak: did not chartAchieved platinum status on 01/03/2024Top voters: danG 25The first of 2 wildcards from round 1 drops out- the only person to give it any votes at all during the rate was dan. "Feel My Needs" was a minor success on the dance and indie charts but didn't crack the top 100. It helped Weiss get signed to a label and was notably remixed by Purple Disco Machine: the remix has almost been streamed as much as the original on Spotify.
Tuesday at 11:221 day Author 51. Calum Scott- You Are The Reason (36 points)Writers: Calum Scott, Corey Sanders, Jon MaguireProducer: Fraser T. SmithUK chart peak: 43 (14 weeks in the top 100)Achieved platinum status on 24/04/2024, 2x platinum 01/07/2022, 3x platinum 16/05/2025Top voters: CowTzy 19, Jason 16, chartjack2 1It appears most of the people who pushed this through to the semis didn't vote this time around, it is the only track to score less in the semis than it did in round 1. "You Are The Reason" is the former Britain's Got Talent finalist's 3rd biggest hit, mostly thanks to a duet version with Leona Lewis which helped the track become a minor worldwide hit.
Tuesday at 12:241 day Author 50. Taylor Swift- Getaway Car (72 points)Writers: Taylor Swift, Jack AntonoffProducers: Taylor Swift, Jack AntonoffUK chart peak: did not chartAchieved platinum status on 23/08/2024Top voters: ...ready for it 24, AaronTM 20, Maestro 14Taylor's 3 semi-finalists are all from Reputation, we've already lost "Don't Blame Me" and now we lose track 9 which received a single push in Australia and New Zealand only. "Getaway Car" is a firm Swiftie favourite and there have been plenty of calls for it to have its "Cruel Summer" moment and become a high-peaking sleeper hit.
Tuesday at 13:311 day Author 49. Ben Howard- Keep Your Head Up (80 points)Writer: Ben HowardProducers: Chris Bond, Andrew BondUK chart peak: 46 (15 weeks in the top 100)Achieved platinum status on 04/12/2020Top voters: dandy* 21, CianS 18, ElectroBoy 14The second single from Ben's 2011 debut album Every Kingdom is his second biggest seller. It was first recorded in 2008 for his independently released Games In The Dark EP. It belatedly peaked in 2013 apparently after heavy Radio 1 playlisting.
Tuesday at 14:321 day Author 48. Chase & Status ft. Tom Grennan- All Goes Wrong (84 points)Writers: Saul Milton, Will Kennard, Kieran McIntosh, Nathaniel Ledwidge, Tom Grennan, Dean McIntoshProducers: Chase & StatusUK chart peak: 65 (4 weeks in the top 100)Achieved platinum status on 18/02/2022Top voters: ElectroBoy 24, CowTzy 23, Jason 22"All Goes Wrong"- fitting title for this rate! Taken from C&S's album Tribe, this was the first track from Tom Grennan to reach the UK top 100.
Tuesday at 16:261 day Author 47. Bruno Mars- Count On Me (86 points)Writers: Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence, Ari LevineProducers: The SmeezingtonsUK chart peak: 78 (6 weeks in the top 100)Achieved platinum status on 20/05/2022Top voters: detonate 24, Viper* 15, CowTzy 14First included on Bruno's 2010 EP It's Better If You Don't Understand, this folk track later featured on his debut album Doo-Wops And Hooligans and was pushed as a single in 2011. It has been compared to fellow Hawaiian musician Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" medley which couldn't reach the semis in this rate.
Tuesday at 21:201 day A shame to see Ben Howard going out. Keep Your Head Up is such an effortlessly joyful song, it was the first one of his I grew to love before then getting addicted to The Wolves and Old Pine... he's come such a long way (for better or worse!) since then that it's difficult to imagine the same person released such a cheery song with a video of them building a water slide
Yesterday at 09:251 day Author 46. Carrie Underwood- Before He Cheats (96 points)Writers: Josh Kear, Chris TompkinsProducer: Mark BrightUK chart peak: did not chartAchieved platinum status on 09/09/2022, 2x platinum 07/03/2025Top voters: AaronTM 19, detonate 19 ...ready for it 19A ubiquitous country-pop hit in the States from the 2005 American Idol winner, "Before He Cheats" is written from the perspective of a woman who destroys her boyfriend's car believing he is cheating on her. It never charted in the UK but has carved its way into the public consciousness, just like how Carrie carves her name into the leather seats of her man's car.

Tenacious D- Tribute (98 points)Writers: Jack Black, Kyle GassProducers: The Dust BrothersUK chart peak: 84 (2 weeks in the top 100)Achieved platinum status on 10/02/2023Top voters: gasman449 25, rio309 23, Jaz13music 15"Fliggoo giggoo, a-fliguh woo-wa mama Lucifer" absolute poetry. The most successful single from the legendary comedy rock duo is a tribute to "the greatest song in the world" that JB and KG apparently played to a demon: it is said that the song is based on "Stairway To Heaven" but Jack, a huge Led Zeppelin fan, says that the song they played "didn't actually sound anything like this song" so clearly not. It was never released as a single in the UK but its music video (directed by Liam Lynch and starring Dave Grohl as the demon with a cameo from Ben Stiller) was a huge success on music TV in the 2000s. It charted for the first time in 2012 when the duo returned with Rise Of The Fenix.

Sia- Unstoppable (103 points)Writers: Sia Furler, Christopher BraideProducer: Jesse ShatkinUK chart peak: did not chartAchieved platinum status on 04/11/2022, 2x platinum 07/02/2025Top voters: Nick F1 22, Mangø 19, CowTzy 15, ElectroBoy 15, ...ready for it 15Taken from Sia's 2016 album This Is Acting, this track went viral in 2022 and was pushed as a single, charting in the US top 40 for the first time. It shifted at least 200,000 units in the UK that year and likely would've charted with an ACR reset.
