Hi Jim, after you extended the deadline I messaged you the Steps song as an additional answer, did you get it? Need every point I can get the way this is going 😂

The number of 10s and 11s for Paranoid Android! Definitely one of the victims of the different scoring system

Sad and surprised Silence barely made the top 40. I guess an effect of the different scoring system in the final? More weighted towards songs everyone quite likes than songs that are some people's absolute favourites?

I'll be entering, but not with a very well populated answer sheet at this rate!

Also thank you to this rate for reintroducing me to Uninvited by Freemasons. Haven't listened to it for about 10 years but it's brilliant!

Dream Catch Me - Newton Faulkner Umbrella - Rihanna featuring Jay-Z Grace Kelly - Mika When You Believe - Leon Jackson What I've Done - Linkin Park (brutal draw #1) Love Today - Mika (brutal draw #2) The Way I Are - Timbaland featuring D.O.E. & Keri Hilson Goodbye Mr. A - The Hoosiers Valerie - Mark Ronson featuring Amy Winehouse Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs 1973 - James Blunt Rehab - Amy Winehouse Uninvited - Freemasons featuring Bailey Tzuke When You're Gone - Avril Lavigne Beautiful Girls - Sean Kingston Gimme More - Britney Spears Foundations - Kate Nash Shine - Take That Same Jeans - The View Girlfriend - Avril Lavigne Big Girls Don't Cry - Fergie Too Little Too Late - JoJo Perfect (Exceeder) - Mason vs. Princess Superstar With Every Heartbeat - Robyn with Kleerup No U Hang Up/If That's Ok With You - Shayne Ward Let Me Think About It - Ida Corr vs. Fedde Le Grande Cupid's Chokehold - Gym Class Heroes What Goes Around... Comes Around - Justin Timberlake Stop Me - Mark Ronson featuring Daniel Merriweather Worried About Ray - Hoosiers Shut Up And Drive - Rihanna This Ain't A Scene It's An Arms Race - Fall Out Boy

Welcome To The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance Who Knew - Pink

Welcome To The Black Parade Chasing Cars

Thanks for hosting! I knew I hadn't done great but I'm impressed at how good everyone else was!

The way this draw is going, MCR is going to be up against God next My 3 favourites left are the 3 head-to-head! Welcome To The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance Everytime We Touch - Cascada Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol Who Knew - Pink

I still find it completely unfathomable that One Dance is one of the longest running No 1s of all time! When you consider the (relatively) universal appeal of the other songs on that list, and I grudgingly include Shape Of You in that

I guess it's inevitable in this format that you find yourself voting against some of your favourites and voting for songs you don't care about at all. MCR are having a horrendous sequence of draws! When The Sun Goes Down - Arctic Monkeys Yeah Yeah - Bodyrox featuring Luciana Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol When You Were Young - The Killers Irreplaceable - Beyonce Unfaithful - Rihanna Sorry - Madonna Welcome To The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance

Entered. Thought I was doing OK until it got about 1/3rd in 😂

Crazy - Gnarls Barkley One - Mary J Blige & U2 Something Kinda Ooh - Girls Aloud I Don’t Feel Like Dancin' - Scissor Sisters I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair) - Sandi Thom From Paris To Berlin - Infernal Maneater - Nelly Furtado Welcome To The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers Sorry - Madonna Unfaithful - Rihanna Love Don’t Let Me Go (Walking Away) - David Guetta vs. The Egg When You Were Young - The Killers Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol Everytime We Touch - Cascada When The Sun Goes Down - Arctic Monkeys Patience v Black Parade is a nightmare. Favourite boyband track of the year v favourite track of all! By contrast there's a fair few of these matchups I'd be happy to see both go home.

That was a great quiz, thank you! Just wish I'd had a bit more time to at least come up with some consolation points guesses, even if I doubt I'd have got many more 10 pointers.

Sorry for the different format to everyone else - really awkward to use bold via my phone! Crazy - Gnarls Barkley Yeah Yeah - Bodyrox featuring Luciana Hips Don’t Lie - Shakira featuring Wyclef Jean I Don’t Feel Like Dancin' - Scissor Sisters I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair) - Sandi Thom From Paris To Berlin - Infernal You're All I Have - Snow Patrol Patience - Take That All Time Low - Will Young Buttons - Pussycat Dolls featuring Snopp Dogg Smile - Lily Allen No Tomorrow - Orson Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now) - Bob Sinclar & Cutee B Check On It - Beyonce In The Morning - Razorlight When The Sun Goes Down - Arctic Monkeys America - Razorlight Boys Will Be Boys - The Ordinary Boys Put Your Hands Up 4 Detroit - Fedde Le Grande Monster - The Automatic Love Don’t Let Me Go (Walking Away) - David Guetta vs. The Egg Last Request - Paolo Nutini Sorry - Madonna Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers Welcome To The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance Ridin' - Chamillionaire featuring Krayzie Bone It's Chico Time - Chico Irreplaceable - Beyonce Who Knew - Pink Something Kinda Ooh - Girls Aloud One - Mary J Blige & U2 Pump It - Black Eyed Peas

Oh wow turns out I voted +4 for Perfect, who knew

Thought I'd only lost my +2 but seem to have lost my +4 as well... I've no idea what I voted for and my sent items folder is blank for some reason so will have to go back through the thread to find out!

4 artists I'd happily never hear from again - never though I'd be hoping for Shane Codd to hang in there one more week 😂

Great quiz! Frustrating the life out of me though

I think the commentary about Creep v Paranoid Android tells me all I need to know about this contributor 😂

Bloody hell. Not much left to vote for in the final from this half of the semis!

Carnage - Doves and Celine both gone! Pretty disappointed, that's at least half of my 20+ pointers gone

I remember being shocked by both Rixton and SFG reaching #1. The less said about X Factor's use / interpretation of one of my favourite songs, the better!
