More votes please!

Unsurprisingly going with ROSALÍA this time

Oklou might have put up a fight if the focus track from the deluxe was instead the amazing 'dance 2' 🤩

Last day to vote!

This was tough. 'Berghain' is mostly great, and I like the Oklou song too, prefer it to 'dance 2' I think. I couldn't decide between them, but The Enemy one came up out of nowhere and got my vote in the end.

Oklou ❤️

I don't get the hype for 'Berghain' :(

My personal rankings for Week 44;

1. Florence + The Machine – Sympathy Magic

2. The Enemy – Not Going Your Way

3. Pale Waves – Zombie

4. The Cribs – A Point Too Hard To Make

5. ROSALÍA feat. Björk & Yves Tumor – Berghain

6. Lankum – Ghost Town

7. Inhaler – Hole In The Ground

8. Oklou – what's good
