Hendinia coming for that niche win once more! I agree that Dan is being widely overlooked, felt like a very accessible standout to me, with a very recognisable vocalist.

Voted. I only really loved seven songs to the extent that I wanted to vote for them, but my top two were worth the entry price alone, for very different reasons.

Also voted. Thanks for the great theme choice Jade, my favourite PFSC edition I can remember entering, I've added all of my votes to my in rotation playlist and could have voted for several others too. I was listening to this playlist in the car for the first time while driving on this road where there are loads of blue peacocks slowly milling around, so it certainly was a suitably trippy soundtrack.

I must be well out on Hendinia. I thought it sounded much bigger, not too far away sonically from a Rose Gray smash.

Leona, it was clearly an attempt to replicate Run's success, which didn't really happen, But it's a nice cover. Really not keen on Ryan Adams...

I wonder if the Easter market dip didn't help too, as Easter was about three weeks earlier last year so it wasn't a comparable market situation year-on-year. It was also Record Store Day on this equivalent week last year, which will have given a small injection to singles sales too I suppose, albeit minimal, and a bigger effect on albums year-on-year figures.

Actually Lorde for me, I really like her version of that. Never been keen on the Mad World cover.

I actually like Martine the most, find it quite an underrated song, fun singalong pop. I found the Spice Girls single a bit underwhelming compared to past releases, and She Bangs is fun but not a favourite of mine.

RontBet thoughts (not AI). Close odds at the top as I don't see anything running away with it and think it will be close. Will just do 25/1 and up but there are several others not mentioned that sound big too, argh!

Voted! That was super tough, I really liked 25 songs and didn't mind quite a few more. Several changes since my semi votes, with a couple of big growers. Fantastic final!

Brutal, I love the 'mid-table filler' and 'wrong semi energy' comments. It really has us read doesn't it. Not the 'slight backlash effect' of winning a year ago.

Will stick with Razorlight, as I'd sooner put on You'll Be Sorry to that. Here And Now was always a bit limp in its single version but they did it well on tour in a new mix recently.

Kaiser Chiefs again, shame Robyn departed before the top three. I prefer five of the songs that have gone to Kaisers and Avril tbh.

Easily Holly Valance.

For my playlists I'd love: Bellefire - All I Want Is You Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott - Car Wash Element Four - Big Brother UK Theme (the recent revamp is on there) Friday Hill - Baby Goodbye Jason Downs feat Milk - White Boy With A Feather Ladies First - I Can't Wait Mousse T vs The Dandy Warhols - Horny As A Dandy Mylo vs Miami Sound Machine - Doctor Pressure Savage Garden - I Want You '98 Tanel Padar & Dave Benton - Everybody (2001 Eurovision winner) No.1 singles missing include Baz Luhrman's Sunscreen (not whatever awful vocal version they replaced it with), Various Artists' Perfect Day, Mr Blobby, Justice Collective etc... Also there are loads of UK radio edits/hit versions of stuff missing that has other versions available. Off the top of my head, Angel City - Love Me Right, Coolio - C U When U Get There, The Corrs - Give Me A Reason, Delta Goodrem - Throw It Away (a radio edit by True North aka Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy was made but the single was cancelled), Hear'say - The Way To Your Love, Karen Ramirez - Looking For Love (the version on Spotify sounds like a demo vocal), Kele Le Roc - Little Bit Of Lovin' (this was pitched up for the single release), Love Inc - Broken Bones, Modjo - Chilln', Robbie Williams - Let Me Entertain You...there are loads of others.
