This seems to be a good year for non descript dance rising significantly, I’ve noticed in the past few rounds now.

Happiest to see React and Easy into AQ territory and Cool doing the best it’s possibly ever done?

Interesting that Levitating is now overtaking Physical in popularity though, I wouldn’t have expected that!

76 65 87 aamourocean - Parmi les Mortels

A shed-load of new entries here and also some colossal drops, particularly for ‘Atlas’ which bombs from 26-85 and misses out on being an Auto-Qualifier for next year. There is also a fairly big drop for ‘Where We're Going’ which drops from 42-78 and ‘I Know the End’ which falls from 45-93; both were close to being Auto-Qualifiers last year but this year haven’t really sustained the support.

43 23 138 Dadi Freyr - Think About Things

42 ** 140 Billie Eilish – No Time To Die

41 80 140 Steps - Something In Your Eyes

Edging closer to the songs that have made it in some form sees 9 songs drops from last years AQ list. ‘August’ drops from 35-68, ‘Baby It's You’ dips from 38-65 and ‘People, I've been sad’ bombs from 28-64. There’s also drops for ‘Mood’ which dops 33-58, ‘After Hours’ drops from 34-54 and Lady Gaga’s ‘Stupid Love’ falls 21-53. The clear-out is rounded off by ‘What's Your Pleasure’ which drops 31-48, ‘Breakin' Me’ falls 37-44 and ‘Think About Things’ dips 20 places from 23-43, all of those songs fail to make it to the AQ list this year. There are big climbers though particularly for ‘Something In Your Eyes’ which climbs from 80-41 and actually overtakes Steps’ other song to finishes just outside of the AQ list.

23 18 193 Ava Max – Kings & Queens

22 ** 201 Roddy Ricch - The Box

21 32 203 Ariana Grande - Positions

A few new faces managing to break through and become auto-qualifiers for next year. ‘Therefore I Am’ is a new entry at 35, ‘Lost In Yesterday’ is new at 26 and due to a year swap ‘The Box’ debuts high here at 22. Also riding current success in the charts Fontaines D.C. have a new entry here with ‘A Lucid Dream’ which is new in at 32. Fontaines D.C. manage to a double for next year as ‘A Hero's Death’ climbs 5 places to 39 to make the AQ list for next year. Alongside a number of new songs, there is also a fair number of climbers too; ‘Better Off Without You’ climbs 10 places to 38, ‘React’ surges from 46-29 and ‘Easy’ takes a big climb from 51-28. ‘Angels Like You’ also manages a big climb from 43-27 and all 4 join the AQ list for next year.

 

Meanwhile, there are 2 hits from last years Semi-Final line up as ‘If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know)’ drops from 20 to 24 and ‘Kings & Queens’ dips from 18 to 23 and both miss out on progressing further this year. ‘Positions’ takes a big climb for Ariana Grande as it surges from 32-21 but finishes 4pts behind the song at 20.

 

Semi-Finalists

 

20 19 207 SAINt JHN - Roses (Imanbek Remix)

19 58 208 Regard & Raye – Secrets

18 25 212 Paul Woolford & Diplo (feat. Kareen Lomax) - Looking For Me

17 16 218 Taylor Swift - Cardigan

16 13 228 Weeknd - In Your Eyes

15 12 236 Dua Lipa - Hallucinate

14 07 250 Taylor Swift & Bon Iver – Exile

13 18 263 Harry Styles - Watermelon Sugar

12 14 265 Dua Lipa - Break My Heart

11 09 267 Cardi B (feat. Megan Thee Stallion) - WAP

10 15 277 Harry Styles - Golden

09 08 280 Doja Cat - Say So

08 06 296 Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande - Rain On Me

07 11 358 Joel Corry (feat. MNEK) - Head & Heart

06 10 403 Little Mix - Sweet Melody

 

Not a huge amount of changes to the Semi-Final line up for this year, however 2 climbs firstly for ‘Secrets’ which rises a massive 39 places from 58-19. Also taking a climb to become a semi-finalist is ‘Looking For Me’ which rises 7 places from 25-18. However, the rest of the top 20 remains unchanged of songs. A few things to note though, ‘Golden’ manages to overtake ‘Watermelon Sugar’ to become Harry Styles’ highest placed song this year with ‘Golden’ climbing from 15-10. ‘Exile’ drops 7 places to 14^th place this year, whilst ‘Sweet Melody’ climbs 4 places and finishes just 6pts behind 4^th place; possibly  Big Mix helping to give ‘Sweet Melody’ a boost in the vote.

 

Finalists

 

05 05 409 Chappell Roan - Pink Pony Club

04 03 473 Miley Cyrus - Midnight Sky

03 01 498 Dua Lipa - Physical

02 04 545 Dua Lipa - Levitating (Original / DaBaby Remix)

01 02 552 Weeknd - Blinding Lights

 The top 5 remain the same, however the top 4 sees a slightly shuffle around. ‘Pink Pony Club’ is a non-mover at 5 whilst ‘Midnight Sky’ drops a place to 4, ‘Physical’ drops from topping the year previously to 3^rd place and is overtaken by ‘Levitating’ which climbs 2 place to the runner-up spot and finishes just 7pts behind Number 1.2 times ROTD winner ‘Blinding Light’s climbs a place to top the year, I think for the first time! ‘Blinding Lights’ previously has stalled behind ‘Physical’ and ‘Midnight Sky’, but has won in the final round.  Should be noted though that All 3 of those songs have won in the last 5 years, so 2020 is a fairly dominant year in this tournament.

And that’s 5 years worth of my favourite songs gone….. I suggest checking my additional suggested votes people can use to really boost something

19 58 208 Regard & Raye – Secrets

Very happy about this - it is such a standout for me!

hurrah for Secrets and Looking for Me rising into the top 20!

That AQ section is excellent. Just a shame none of them made the SF section as it still leaves me lacking much to vote for in the next round 😥

Also, huge fan of someone else voting for Island!

Great to see the two Steps songs climbing - and my nomination ‘Husavik’ climbing significantly.

I didn’t know ‘Husavik’ had been nominated last year, but great to know that I’m not the only one who loves it. Maybe next year it can be an automatic qualifier for the following year. It would have made an amazing Eurovision contestant, and definitely deserved its Oscar nomination.

I had forgotten 'Where We're Going' came so close to an AQ last year - that fall though, ach no. Two pretty big AQ losses in 'Stupid Love' and 'After Hours' adding to the growing list of songs I might have to consider nominating next year.

I usually find myself nominating it each year! Along with double trouble and jaja ding dong, but I refrained this year 😂

I wanted to nominate all 3 as well! How do the other two usually do?

I love ‘Double Trouble’. One of the best songs of the year! And ‘Jaja Ding Dong’ is great fun, though not so much a great song as the other two.

I only remembered to nominate them for 2020 as I was checking the charts, and saw that ‘Double Trouble’ made the top 100!

But definitely ’Husavik’ is the track that I feel is worthy of being considered for song of the decade. As I said previously, I was shocked, but amazed and delighted when it was nominated for best song at the Oscars, and the live Oscars performance with a choir during lockdown was inspired - I think I cried.
