Really pleased to see HTE climbing. It reminds me of Drivers Licence insofar as it's a song from an artist I didn't know / didn't much care for before and certainly wouldn't count as part of their fanbase, but it cuts through because it's memorable and very very good. I can't stop listening to it!

What's the rule about an artist with 2 songs left in the later stages having to go head-to-head with them? I thought there was some sort of rule but Dua Lipa's two songs here have stayed apart?

Dua Lipa ~ Be The One (No vote) Ed Sheeran ~ Castle On The Hill Ariana Grande ~ One Last Time
