Michael Aldag - Hell 0

Sebastian Croft - Tokyo 0

Total votes: 17

A close race at the top - albeit with a much lower voting turnout this week - as Hilary Duff just pips Katy Perry to the post with her new single Mature. bandaids has been much better received than anything from Katy's 143 era but not quite reaching dizzying heights.
