Wow, never would've called Rina being out as early as Round 3 before this started. I'm sure she has a very good chance of being brought back with the Golden Wagner, though.

I have been undecided, as I already pre-ordered a vinyl from her store (still not here yet 😭) and I don't usually multi-buy... but caved in was half expecting the liquid concept to be 'Diet Pepsi' themed!

Omg yes James I wasn’t sure about his chances as he was getting pelted with low scores to begin with.

Pleased to be through! I’ve got a beauty lined up for the next round.

‘In The Rain’ is hitting me more and more with each listen too! The drums are so Timbaland *.*

Switched to Lemar this time

These are both great but also voted 'Never Be the Same Again' to win!

Main poll votes: DJ_Dave & Switch Angel “Cycles” Sofia Kourtesis & Daphni “Unidos” TDJ & Clara Kimera “On and On (You Lie)” Tiebreak vote: akiaura, LONOWN & Baby Jane “Deathwish” 💞

Just noticed that Drake - 'Headlines' is new at #196 today as well, forgot that didn't go top 40 originally in 2011.

Yes great to see plenty of movement today! I wonder if Addison could sneak three top 40 entries/re-entries this week if these songs keep climbing? 'Headphones On' was top 50 in the mids yesterday and 'New York' top 60. 19. Fame is a Gun (+12) 132. New York (+18) 162. Headphones On

I've been much less successful at chart predictions in 2025 (so far) than last year but this is a bit freaky! today's Spotify chart: 193. The Stranglers - Golden Brown !!! I assume this has to be TikTok-fuelled anyway... what an absolute tune

Well done for the round two 39 yesterday! today's game: Round 1: 36 (didn't get: Elvis Costello & The Attractions) Round 2: 24 (didn't get: Dollar, Shed Seven, Village People) 3-in-10: 1 (Always The Last to Know)

Hello again, my laptop broke several weeks ago but I've finally got a new one now so recommencing catch-up with this thread! Week 41 I was quite late to the original 'Café Del Mar' but absolutely love it now. The 2002 version is a pretty pointless update though! My science teacher played us a catchy song to remember the Electromagnetic Spectrum but I'm pretty sure 'Bunsen Burner' has passed me by until now, oh my I really like 'Down Boy', agree that the production does a lot of the heavy lifting (the producer has some interesting credentials like working with Björk and Massive Attack, so makes sense that it's similarly standout) but she does turn in another convincing sensual pop star performance nevertheless. Oh Jakatta and Seal left the chart on a high (well, not counting WEST AFRICAHHHHHHH on Band Aid 30 for the latter lol) with 'My Vision' dreamy stuff. 'Formulae' was a good discovery! I especially enjoyed the fuzzy guitars and powerful vocals.

Top marks from Pavel in the semi

Aww I thought I'd crossed off a unique position with 28th, giving me the entire top 32 positions, but with Scotland 2's deduction applied I'm 27th well, EQ is unfortunately my worst result of the year so far, but with an amazing silver (gold?) lining of receiving the most 18s for anything I've sent in 2025, with 3 *.* so I'm glad some people did really love it as I've been obsessed with its genre-bending energy. Special shoutout to Mack who has given me three 18s this year now :o I really ought to do a points given/received update at some point. Anyway... congrats Silas Annalisa snuck into my votes so that's the first winner I've pointed in a few contests, yay. It reminded me ever so slightly of fellow Italian banger 'MAREA' by Madame which got me 2nd place in PFSC a few years ago. Elsewhere in the top 10, I'm thrilled that She Past Away finished as high as 8th, love to see darkwave thriving 🖤 I also voted for Danæviia, Neliönoir, Terra Avium and Trifoski in the top tier so BuzzJack is displaying some great taste there. Also glad that Herbilore didn't languish right at the bottom in the end, top 25 a solid recovery! Ajanaeda + Cumulonimbia robbed I fear x Thank you Addy for your wonderful hosting enthusiasm

Well I may not be setting the scoreboard alight but 3 18s is amazing, thank you !!!

Omg thank you so much Kath for 18 points and Bré for 12! *.* Brilliant to see those back-to-back 18s for FSR Rontvia too, the sudden flurry of taste.

Thanks Harve! The drought up until the Skall points was brutal x
