Ok, so it took 40 minutes to send my votes instead. :lol: I had a little rejig as one song has continued to grow in my affections. :wub:

Have to admit I found SF2 to be a lot stronger than SF1 and as a result it's had a huge knock on effect to my semi final votes. Will be sending Jake my votes in the next 10-20 minutes, just got to write it all up Batidas style. :D

You know what I mean!!! :P :lol: Maybe if 'Get Lucky' is deleted, it'll appear on the next Now! album and be cherry picked enough to make the iTunes top 10 again. Still, when a song is this popular the reasoning behind deleting the track makes no sense whatsoever. Maybe it's been decided so that they can concentrate on single #2 but I still think it's silly.

I hope 'Get Lucky' isn't deleted from iTunes. What a terrible decision when you consider songs like 'Iris' and 'Chasing Cars' are constant staples in the iTunes top 200 (more than usually anyways). Why not delete those tracks while they're at it. The album version alone won't help the track become a million seller. :( Anyways, 'Blurred Lines' is a shoe in for #1 next week although I think all chart followers had realised this at the start of the week. :lol: I do hope 'I Love It' is brought forward. Even releasing it on the 9th June would be ok as Robin Thicke is probably going to get 2 weeks at least at #1. Still hope Union J don't get anywhere near #1 when 'Carry You' is released. However, I think The Wanted are pretty much a given for one week wonder status sadly. :drama:

Well, as much as I like 'Be Mine', 'With Every Heartbeat' is just in a whole different league of exceptional dance music. Still a track I enjoy listening to every now and again.

Be patient Mikey. :lol: If UP voting is anything like BJSC, then you'll be sure to get a last minute surge in votes being PM'd to you at 9:55pm on Sunday night. I shall vote most likely on Saturday.

Anything to get myself noticed too. :lol: Ohh, will listen to that radio edit of 'World In Our Hands'. :D

I think 'Colours' will do well actually, seen a lot of support for the track.

Cheers John :D Only the best for my chart. :P :lol: BJSC does have an incredibly big impact on my chart now. I do like the idea of charting a BJSC favourite into my chart, then see it become a big hit a few months later. I even get a buzz if I hear any BJSC tracks on the music channels. When Woodkid 'Run Boy Run' was being used in the coverage of the London Olympics, I was just overjoyed that they were using such an incredible song. :D Lana? Who would that be again? :P I'm sure you gave Zara Larsson points unless I've completely misunderstood who Lara is. :lol: :blush: Eurovision due to impact next week. 'Euphoria' by Loreen is the only Eurovision song that's made my chart before the final. Everything else has entered after the final - it's just the way I compile my chart.

Thanks Tara :D Wow, only 5 faves? :o I'm guessing there's a lot here you've not heard? :P

Thanks Calum :D You don't like any of the top 5 though? :(

Cheers Luke :D Only four from your top ten :o 'I See You' was a highlight of last month's BJSC, good luck in the final, it seems it's getting popular over here ('Under'), it's currently at #63 in the radio chart :o At least it's four you like. :D Glad to see you liked 'I See You' (thanks for the 12 points :wub: ). 'Under' is a great track, imo, it's like Zara Larsson with more attitude. :lol: Oh wow, nice to see the song taking off in Czech Republic too. :D Such a shame you DNQ'd again, although your entry fell short of getting points from me in the semi. :( You were 11th, with Syndare a close 12th - I still thought you'd both qualify. 29 (--) Sub Focus feat. Alex Clare - Endorphins (29) [1 wk] :wub: Quite a number of my lower new entries this week should see climbs up my chart next week. Eurovision will have it's impact in my next chart but only Emmelie de Forest and Margaret Berger will make any significant impact. 'Endorphins' is looking set to make my top 20. BUBBLING UNDER 05 (--) Naughty Boy feat. Sam Smith - La La La I love this, I wasn't interested in 'Wonder' as I'm fed up with Emeli but this is just brilliant :wub: Well, I wouldn't say I "love" the track, it's alright but not #1 material imo. As I mentioned in reply to Mikey I prefer 'Wonder' and think it's a shame that song was overshadowed by another UK #1 that didn't really appeal to me in 'Beneath Your Beautiful'.

Cheers Martin :D 01 (01) Daft Punk feat. Pharrell - Get Lucky (01-01-01-01) [4 wks] SNAP again, I just hope the track can get a 5th consecutive week at #1 officially, its very rare to have a 5 week run at #1 these days they don't come round too often Such a shame, I think Daft Punk really deserved to get the double this Sunday. 'Get Lucky' selling 100k+ for 4 weeks and the album looking set to sell at least 150k this week. Would've been an excellent achievement. :( Don't get me wrong, I like 'La La La' but for me, it's not #1 material. I'd even say 'Wonder' was a better single to be completely honest.

My DNQ points: 12 pts = 10 pts = 08 pts = 07 pts = 06 pts = 05 pts = 04 pts = 03 pts = Kylienips - Gramme - Too High 02 pts = Greenfroze - A Fine Frenzy - Now Is The Start 01 pts = Tinnmark - Cazadores - City Still Sleeping However, I'm glad that my fave tracks from SF2 all seem to have qualified so my final votes are going to be somewhat different to my SF1 votes.

Love this whole Google Maps pics idea. :lol:

Oh wow, didn't think this would be happening now. :o Woo @ Skall :wub: Now that is a real gem of a song. :wub: So glad to qualify again but Harve? "The two worst tracks in the semi have qualified though. :( " <--- It's not that bad. :cry: Nice to see some support here for 'Under'.

Well, yes but the whole Very Important Play makes it all the more obvious. :D

However, 'I Love It' is now getting the *.* treatment on the music channels. The Box and Smash Hits (iirc) were both doing their Video Of The Week thing and played Icona Pop at 7:55pm on both channels. When this happens, you know there's a big hit on the horizon (even if ideally it would've been released at least 4 months ago in the UK)

I've just discovered my next entry. :D It's been a long time since I've laughed so much at a music video and the music is so joyous it just adds to the whole thing. Oh, and yes get a move on Jake. NU Kathaldazia? :o

Cheers Liam :D 20. I'll have to eat humble pie as I genuinely thought 'Slip' would be a surefire top 5 hit. Just proves how one bad single choice can really affect an artist's career.

Thanks Ken :D

It seems weird that the most recent song so far on the countdown is the only one I have no recollection of whatsoever. :lol:
