More votes please!

Voted for Olivia Rodrigo and Robert Smith's team-up this week 🖤

I go with Kodaline this week.

Gone with Interpol. As much as Robert Smith is a legend, I think there are better songs on Olivia's album.

(I initially wondered if "Seude" were an act I'd never heard of)

Went for the wonderful new Jack White song!

Last day to vote!
