If I'm unable to participate until, say, Wednesday, after 3 clues have been posted, do I still have the option of only viewing one or two of them before I enter my answer? Or will all 3 clues be visible as soon as I click on the question and therefore only lower points available? Excited for this but may not get time for the next couple of days. (Also v unlikely that I'll get anything from two clues or less but thought I may as well check just in case!)

Love Mirrors, and Chandelier is class. Both worthy top 20 finishers imo.

Wow. That's a pretty dramatic set of changes!

+5 Happier Than Ever +4 Heat Waves +3 Obsessed With You +2 Cold Heart +1 Shivers -1 Love Nwantiti -2 Bad Habits -3 Out Out -4 Industry Baby -5 Girls Want Girls

Apparently Easy On Me got to #1 on US iTunes 3 minutes after release - anything from UK iTunes yet?

Said as a non-fan... It's pretty good isn't it 😁

Having only participated in this for the last two years, I'm surprised to see We Are Young used to be so low. Thought it was the type of song that would have a few big fans but also quite a wide appeal with loads of voters putting it in the mid-ranking section of their votes.

Loving the climbs for Tove Lo and P!nk (and Grimes, though with the wrong song of her two in my opinion!) Also pleased to see Levitating come bottom of the Dua Lipa entries, for me it doesn't lay a finger on Physical or Be The One.

Could have got the Stan one. But also amazed I got the Morocco one! Think I might have answered "Rachel something" for the Stacey's Mom question - not worth half a point?!

As usual with these rates, most of my absolute faves have fallen before we reach the top section. Plenty still to root for though. My prediction for the top half is I think and hope Faded might have a good year (though no idea how well it did last year!) And surely Physical is going straight into the top 10 as a minimum?

Thanks for writing this - intense but fun! I know I'm going to be kicking myself at so many of these once the answers come out

Forgot Arcade Fire did so well last year - two songs in the top 80 of the decade is still pretty great!

Done. I'll settle for a score of 5!

Do I read correctly that Shaggy has released a Christmas song in September?😂

Pretty much all my faves from this semi made it through, bring on the final!

Of the 900+ songs that featured in this rate, to see my favourite one beat another of my top five in the grand final is as awesome as it is unexpected! Thanks for hosting the rate, been great fun

New Biffy as well as BMTH and Alt-J this week?! Am I in a dream?

Good to see, had been a slightly underwhelming start compared to Parasite Eve (though it's not as memorable a song imo)
