More votes like Jade's please (edit: and Scene's and AllStar's wow!) x

I clearly fooled you all into thinking I was dandy* so that's a job well done 😎 I only know Blind from them otherwise, but heard this on the radio once and it's a really lovely nu-disco track, though I would recommend 6 minute version even if it doesn't have those great visuals, the lead singer Aerea Negrot sadly passed away recently </3

I also did btw but only in my head 🤭

Did 'Criminal' chart at all orr...? 🤔

Sadly not in the U.K., but she's a 'one hit wonder' in the U.S. with that song instead!

I thought I could go undetected with Sanna Nielsen, Yanou and Do and Sara Bareilles all here but Julian rumbled me.

I didn't want to be as obvious as usual this time so went for an act who only had one mid charting hit. But Sarah Nixey is brilliant, I love this band and they should have had more top 40s - I've got their boxset with all of their released music. And this single feels like it could have been a lost Kylie single from Fever.

I’m glad to be doing relatively well but I would have liked some GD points! Next time

I really recommend Lamb albums btw if you're into that sort of stuff - especially maybe the first three. They had such an intriguing, adventurous and sometimes challenging sound. 'Górecki' was their top 40 hit in the UK but they are also known elsewhere for 'Gabriel', another beautiful song.

11 Addy! - Yanou presents Do - On & On

Next up is me aka the host. I went with Yanou and Do famous for their collab with Dj Sammy remake of Bryan Adams 'Heaven' in 2001, which peaked at #1 in UK and I believe in Top 10 in US. I am just glad I got to sent it here and now I can finally remove it from my BJSC potentials playlist lol

Imogen Heap - Glittering Cloud (Locusts)

Thank you Mattias and Rich for the points wub especially the former for top marks!

I was familiar with (and love) 'Górecki' so am pleased to have been introduced to more Lamb, definitely need to look into them further.

Aaaaand Mini Viva were my other option haha! And One Touch very much still holds up to this day, I’ll never get sick of that early 2010s Xenomania style. That song really didn’t deserve to be their last. Great choice SmashMouth x

Good entry Addy, honestly had never heard it before, so not sure how that passed me by as I followed Do's solo career closely, but not Yanou's until he was part of Cascada. I did think about sending her but didn't think her ballads would do very well. Sounds more like a Lasgo song than Heaven!

Cherry Ghost were an English music group which began in 2006, first as an alias for singer-songwriter Simon Aldred as a solo artist, before morphing into a full band. "People Help the People" was their UK Top 40 hit peaking at #27 in 2007.

12th Friendly Fires - Jump In The Pool [a good indie playlist staple that might have bigger fans]

13th FKA Twigs - Glass & Patron [hard to judge this against the other songs given her current prominence, and I still hope she sees off the one-hit wonder tag one day (or at least has one as lead artist), but glad for the discovery]

I’m following this whilst reading a book. Which doesn’t give me time to write my thank you list! (Already a nice length). Thanks to those who sent my song some points (so far)

Jim sending my favourite song, that is a wonderful discovery. So beautiful. It took me right back to 2007 feels even though I've not heard it before.
