This forum underrates I'm Just Ken! The fact it finished behind Whistle is a travesty

Boo at the lack of love for Bowie's surprise comeback single. One of my favourite chart events of the last decade.

No sad losses so far, and glad to see some of this year's most abysmal offerings (Guetta, Stay Another Day) go out early

Raye deserves a few awards for sure this year, but I hope Blur pip her to Best Album, for a comeback album after 10 years away it's incredible

Labrinth (please more people vote for that!), Blink, BMTH, Jack Black, Tom Odell, and a couple of others I've forgotten

My +27 managed +0 from everyone else combined (Bon Jovi), second only to Always in my favourite songs of theirs!

Alessandra - Queen Of Kings Jonas Brothers - Waffle House Linkin Park - Lost Olivia Rodrigo - all-american bitch

Awesome winner! Having only voted in the final, I didn't know what the format of the heats was... but yes, if Children had to beat the 1995-1996 #2s to qualify then it deserves to win for that alone!

Take Five and First Of The Gang... were on my longlist. Would like to have seen Beds Are Burning and N95 a bit higher too. As it was, though, the only one in this group that actually made my list was +1 for guilty pleasure Come With Me!

My second favourite Daniel Bedingfield song is gone! But generally not too many sad losses in that last group.

+5 DNA +4 Houdini +3 Stick Season +2 Prada +1 Lose Control -1 Lovin On Me -2 Cruel Summer -3 Murder On The Dancefloor -4 Greedy -5 Water

First of mine to fall - Blackstreet were my +13 so, much like some of my top scorers yet to come, had no other voters! Puppy Love above Paradise City is one of the more surprising results I've ever seen in a rate 😂

Not holding out too much hope for the results - I think 3 of my top 4 picks barely received a vote from anyone else!

1. BMTH 2. Last Dinner Party 3. Liam Gallagher Were my votes this week

759 only +5 DNA +4 Houdini +3 Stick Season +2 Prada +1 Lovin On Me -1 Rich Baby Daddy -2 Cruel Summer -3 Murder On The Dancefloor -4 Greedy -5 Water

Thanks, wasn't aware of that nuance in the rules

Sorry for potentially stupid question - why would Riptide be ineligible when e.g. Unwritten is?

Great news about BMTH and Last Dinner Party. I've really got into Last Dinner Party (all 5 songs I can find, at least) this last few weeks. Nothing Matters is perhaps my least favourite of the 5, but still, great to see them get on HH.

This has reminded how As It Was was one of the most annoying and long-lasting resets of all time

I'd guess Escapism and Miracle are +ve and then one of Calm Down or People or Anti Hero

+18 Ryan Gosling - I'm Just Ken +15 P!nk - Trustfall +13 Olivia Rodrigo - Can't Catch Me Now +12 Niall Horan - Heaven +11 Linkin Park - Lost +10 Miley Cyrus - Used to Be Young +9 Jvke - Golden Hour +8 Stephen Sanchez - Until I Found You +7 Kylie Minogue - Tension +6 Danny Elfman - This Is Halloween +5 P!nk - Never Gonna Not Dance Again +4 Zach Bryan feat. Kacey Musgraves - I Remember Everything +3 Troye Sivan - One of Your Girls +2 The Ronettes - Sleigh Ride +1 Issey Cross - Bittersweet Goodbye -2 David Guetta, Anne-Marie & Coi Leray - Baby Don't Hurt Me

Nice to see BMTH shoot back up Spotify yesterday - any idea why?

+12 Robert Miles - Children +10 The Beatles - Let It Be +8 Kylie Minogue - Confide In Me +7 The Beach Boys - God Only Knows +6 The Pogues ft. Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York +5 A-ha - Take On Me +4 Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc. +3 The Weeknd ft. Daft Punk - Starboy +2 Hozier - Take Me To Church +1 Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone +0 Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Murder On The Dancefloor

Looking at how low the #10 sale was this week - could a good showing on iTunes from Liam Gallagher make a bigger difference than usual and actually nudge him into top 10? He always seems to stall between 30 and 15.

I'm surprised there's not been more love for ABBA so far. Thought SOS was considered one of their best songs. Also surprised St Elmo's Fire isn't doing anything, especially considering the current Virgin advert. Though I wonder if some people don't know that's what song it is? When I first saw the advert I was like - love that song, haven't heard it in ages... but then had to Google what it was called and who sang it!
