Happy to see Singerpurear and The Spodic Empire through after a fair few DNQ predictions! oops for Taahino, think that was a 15 Q streak too?

'Smokers...', 'White Lines...' and 'The Lovecats' are my biggest losses so far - surprised the latter only just made the final but I'm glad it did. Nothing I dislike in this final, I actually prefer 'Get Together' to some other singles from that era, though not really a Madonna classic for me.

'Pink Pony Club' above this

Juice WRLD - Lucid Dreams Marshmello and Bastille - Happier twenty one pilots - Stressed Out (will join soon)

Travis and Stereophonics had a couple of charting singles before these weeks, although these were first Top 30s for each - in Travis' case, their next 7 Top 30 hits each peaked higher than the one before it - and I bought both of those debut albums, Stereophonics were at their best back then. Entering at #18 in the second week, Foo Fighters - Everlong, these days one of the 1bn+ Spotify streams club.

There have been dozens in that time, for example 'like JENNIE' only last week.

Atomic Kitten, nothing groundbreaking but it's OK.

S Club 8 finally gone Switching to No Doubt My local commercial radio station would play an edit with his "chill out, it's Bounty Killer, No Doubt!" intro that immediately cut back to Gwen. That "Hey Baby from the seventies" line in the DJ Otzi song annoyed me too, even though I found that version kinda fun.

'Hungry Heart' gold ❤️ and great to see Vera Lynn's signature song certified

Would be great if Radio 1 could pledge their allegiance to broadcasting the chart.

It was between Ms Dynamite and P!nk for me, and I went with the former. Hope The Manics can make the final 5 at least!

The Magnetic Fields - All My Little Words Still one of my favourite in-contest discoveries from BJSC.
