Noooo at Violent Sun and Parasite Eve falling out of AQ by a combined total of 11 points - that's 2 of my noms for next year sorted!

Most songs I nominate don't even crack the top 100, so mind blown at Wolf Alice getting so close to the top 5! Definitely one of the best songs of the decade imo. Sad to see so many good songs drop out just short of the auto-qualifier spots (Fred Again, The Anxiety etc). But overall a really strong year.

Such a strong year this... I was struggling to find 15 songs I even though were OKish from 2018, 2019... whereas here I genuinely like everything in the 30. Feels like the mainstream stuff is getting a lot more interesting these last couple of years, long may that continue! +30 Wolf Alice - The Last Man On Earth +29 Biffy Clyro - Errors In the History Of God +28 Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever +27 ABBA - I Still Have Faith In You +26 Wolf Alice - How Can I Make It Ok +25 Anxiety - Meet Me At Our Spot +24 Måneskin - Zitii E Buoni +23 Fred Again… (feat.

Unbelievable there's only been 7 and we're in September. A good group if #1s, considering I don't think the standard of the Top 10s has been great (I'd average score them below 5) RUTH 10/10 Afraid To Feel 8 As It Was 7 BOTA 6 Bruno 5 ABCDEFU 5 Starlight 4

Don't worry, none of mine are cracking the top 100 barely!

+30 alt-J - Adeline +29 Big Thief - Mary +28 Arcade Fire - Creature Comfort +27 Arcade Fire - Everything Now +26 Wolf Alice - Don't Delete The Kisses +25 Harry Styles - Sign of the Times +24 alt-J - 3WW +23 LCD Soundsystem - Oh Baby +22 Lorde - Perfect Places +21 Declan McKenna - Brazil +20 Susanne Sundfør - Undercover +19 Lorde - Liability +18 Lorde - Green Light +18 Julia Michaels - Issues +17 Imagine Dragons - Believer +16 Lorde - The Louvre +15 Dua Lipa - Be The One +14 MGMT - Little Dark Age +13 St. Vincent - New York +12 Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee ***ORIGINAL NON-BIEBER VERSION*** - Despacito +11 Ed Sheeran - Castle On The Hill +10 Killers - The Man +9 Kendrick Lamar - HUMBLE. +8 London Grammar - Rooting For You +7 Adele - Water Under The Bridge +6 CamelPhat & Elderbrook - Cola +5 Rita Ora - Anywhere +4 Lana Del Rey - Love +3 Taylor Swift - Look What You Made Me Do +2 Drake - Passionfruit +1 Kendrick Lamar - DNA Incredible top few... was really struggling by the time I got into the bottom half

Ugh. A few songs I really like from this year, but none even made the semis. Go, Grimes and Everything Everything missing out leaves very little from 2015 I'll be voting for in the semi / final. Also baffled how Silk can be so low - one of the best songs by one of Britain's best bands and even had a prominent role in a huge British film!

Strong top 5. However to see the glorious Two Weeks miss out by a point to the somewhat less glorious Problem is... disappointing

+5 Afraid To Feel +4 Break My Soul +3 Not Over Yet +2 Green Green Grass +1 Doja -1 BOTA -2 Ferrari -3 I Ain't Worried -4 Crazy What Love Can Do -5 Stay With Me Awful top 10 at the moment

Sad Bros couldn't make the AQs, it seemed to have a really strong start but must have faded later on

This is the best year in the rate imo... to the point where my +15 for this year would easily be in my top 5 for many other years
