It feels like Lawson is rated more highly by Red Bull and it's almost protection to but him in VCARB again if they know this car is so bad for him. As for Tsunoda, realistically this is the only chance he's ever going to get to move to a 'top' car (can't see the other three having vacancies for 2+ years and doubt they'd consider him anyway) and if it goes badly for him we're at the point where it isn't actually a hindrance for future career - literally everyone fails eventually in that car and plenty do just fine afterwards.

Some good discoveries this time, HAAi, Avalon and Charlotte my 3 votes, but am also enjoying Demise of Love, Ninajirachi, James and Evan.

6 wins in a row, 3rd in the league, 6 point gap to 6th place after 20 games. "there's no way they'll stay up there" "they will definitely get found out" "they're not that good, just lucky" *plays Liverpool (1st), Arsenal (2nd), Man City (5th), Brighton (6th), Bournemouth (8th), Newcastle (9th) and Fulham (10th) in the next 8 matches* 3rd in the league, 5 point cushion to 6th place Champions League Reds, it's happening!

Ghost is comfortably my preference from the rock entries, but once again I don't want to listen to any of those a second time. Black Country New Road ahead of Tennis, but doubt either will be making playlists for the longer-term...

Two incredible songs and worthy winners, but will go Jerk It Out.

Comfortably last! I can't say I expected much more for my entry, glad some liked it enough to vote at least, it was a strong field after all! I was listening to Phoebe's songs one afternoon as she was performing at something I was going to, so did a last minute entry for it to see how it went. There were a lot of really good songs in here, really enjoyed all the songs I voted for. The winner was one of only 6 I discarded after my first listen of the playlist ooops Great hosting Kath, really well presented all the way!

I think after January's activity there's a transfer ban definitely incoming. A points deduction wouldn't surprise however I think it would be significant but not enough to endanger their PL status. No way they'd re-allocate titles.

Everything's taking a while, even just go back to the previous page

Definitely Bob of those 4. Rare I'm voting for something that good at this stage, but a clear gap between that and the other 3.

What a list that is! Went for Son of Dork, don't really remember the song, just that everything about them was awful. Has to be a clear favourite two for the final.

It's difficult to predict with Forest, however I wouldn't be overly confident of our downfall coming. In the first half of the season we were as high as second due to being relentless against the bottom half of the division (9 wins, 1 draw) whilst we struggled against the top half (2W, 3D, 4L), all that's happened so far is that pattern has continued (1W 1D 3L / 2W), but the unfortunate randomness of fixture scheduling has 7 of 8 games against top half teams including 4 in a row against the only 4 to beat us in the first half - Fulham, Newcastle, Arsenal, Man City - but it's feasible we could lose to all those teams again and still be in the Champions League positions after. To be in that position having played the rest of the top 6 twice already can only be one of incredible strength.

Don't even need to give anything a second listen this week, comfortably Suki Waterhouse. Fontaines is OK but really far from what they're capable of. Everything else too boring or bad rock to make me contemplate hearing it again.

DJ Heartstring, Ela Minus and Otik for me, though far from a vintage list.

Bon Iver the only one I'll keep listening to beyond this week. Dreadful leader, dreary as

Focus Is Power is fine, if might not be exactly what I'd have hoped for but as long as it's not completely indicative of what her direction is, certainly a lot better than Big Man was. Can't disagree with any of the comments on 69 though :|

St. Lucia for me, good return Oklou, Inhaler, Squid and Chloe also good.

Rare to be voting something as good as Jamelia in Round 3. I mean I say good, I can't say I've any desire to hear it but it's perfectly ok and inoffensive at least.

I think I agree about it being underwhelming, not something I'll be in a rush to keep listening to. It feels like if I ranked all of her songs from best to worst it would look very similar to a list in chronological release order.

+25 Grandmaster and Melle Mel – White Lines (Don't Don't Do It) 24 Editors – Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors 23 Dr. Dre featuring Eminem – Forgot About Dre 22 Aqualung - Strange And Beautiful (I'll Put A Spell On You) 21 The Magician featuring Years & Years – Sunlight 20 The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army 19 Daft Punk - Da Funk / Musique 18 The Kooks - She Moves In Her Own Way 17 Swedish House Mafia featuring Pharrell – One (Your Name) 16 The Verve - Lucky Man 15 Pet Shop Boys - Domino Dancing 14 Radiohead - Creep 13 Alanis Morissette - Head Over Feet 12 Soul Asylum - Runaway Train 11 Sparks - Amateur Hour 10 The Rolling Stones - Start Me Up 9 Chic - Le Freak 8 Kirsty MacColl - A New England 7 The Beach Boys - I Get Around 6 Jade - Angel Of My Dreams 5 Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music 4 Madonna - Get Together 3 The Smashing Pumpkins – Tonight, Tonight 2 Snow Patrol - You're All I Have 1 Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire

Before I've listened to any this feels like a list I'll enjoy more than the last few, based on the acts included anyway.
