An absolute classic! Peaches come from a can / They were put there by a man / In a factory downtown

If my Alexa autoplayed me GGG, I think I'd smash it off the wall in fury

Am I missing something or is Green Green Grass not top 40 on either Spotify or Apple? And if that's true, how the chuffing hell is it top 10 officially.

The Nothing But Thieves song would probably have had my vote for last week if I'd heard it before today - quite like it on first listen

Thanks for running the poll! Of the final 4 (none of which I voted super-high), I'd say Run is the only one I'd count as a 'classic' so a bit disappointed with that result. But the overall quality of the Top 50 was pretty high so can't complain!

+5 Miracle +4 Calm Down +3 People +2 Flowers +1 Ceilings -1 As It Was -2 Boys A Liar -3 Creepin -4 Us Against The World -5 Die For You

And breathe... was worried Levitating might get very close to winning this!

I enjoy Girls & Boys, don't think it's in the same league as their very best stuff (eg The Universal).but can understand why it's done well in a poll like this. Strong trio all in all, Street Spirit is incredible, Try Again pretty iconic. That Regulate revelation is interesting. I listened to the album version and thought the chorus I "remembered" from when I was a kid must have actually been a different song. But no, it was Regulate all along!

Actually forgot how good Not Fair is, watching the video now has reminded me. Should probably have ranked it 10 or so places higher in hindsight.

Surprised to see I didn't put Naive in my bottom 3 - find it very annoying. Sad to lose Acapella and in particular You'll See (which is infinitely better than the two Madonna #5s I didn't know prior to this rate, which mercifully went out earlier). But neither is exactly an all-time classic so it feels like they've still done pretty well overall. Starting to get nervous about how well Levitating might have done. For an artist I quite like, who's done a few songs I love, I can't stand it and am bemused how it seems to be one of her most-liked songs!

Love The Universal and seeing them perform it live at the 2009 Hyde Park reunion having though I'd never get the chance to see them live was a special moment

Don't think I've ever been as pleasantly surprised by a track before as I am by Miracle. Two artists who I feel very meh about. But totally out of the blue they've brought back late 90s / early 00s trance (which I absolutely love) with a pretty much perfect example of the genre. Genuinely never thought I'd hear a tune like this in the Top 10 again. Instant ATB / Lasgo / Robert Miles nostalgia 😍

Just noticed that I denied Harry Styles the 1st & 10th double. Sorry! Feels like I've spoiled a little bit of history! +5 Calm Down +4 People +3 Flowers +2 Ceilings +1 Kill Bill -1 As It Was -2 Sure Thing -3 Die For You -4 Players -5 Boys A Liar

My second favourite songs by The Saturdays (after Ego) and Will Young (after Leave Right Now) - particularly like Up, disappointed it's gone early. But fully agree with the comment above that this looks likely to be a very tight and unpredictable countdown.

+5 Calm Down +4 Flowers +3 10.35 +2 Ceilings +1 Kill Bill -1 As It Was -2 Sure Thing -3 Die For You -4 Players -5 Boys A Liar

Sorry I've just seen this. Would probably have put Ceilings in the same position as Messy In Heaven as it happens.

Very happy with that top 10 overall. The right song won, and MCR, Kalush, double Billie and Arctics in the Top 10 is a great effort Buzzjack!

My least favourite (Latto) and almost but not quite favourite (Metallica) finishing level on points. Glad I gave Latto the -2 so Metallica finished ahead!

Boo at Crash and Intergalactic going out at the last moment. Still, a far better set of qualifying songs from this semi than the other one

Didn't expect Thank U would make it but as we got closer my hopes were growing. Sad to see it fall. On the other hand, delighted Heat Waves hasn't made it. Painful to listen to after so much overplay.
