Suggs on the playlist in 2026 Don't know what their obsession is with Sombr although I love the song so I'm here for it. Also wasn't expecting Rosé to be insta-added but it is a bit of a banger tbh!

Lol @Spiceboy's first answer to that was something similar

I tried to confirm an artist but they were taken. Then I tried to confirm another artist but they too were taken. I got third time lucky but I'm not as happy with the song. Oh well, I guess that's what I get from leaving it too late!

People get writing credits for just farting in the room these days, it's ridiculous.

Just say what you see!

We're not ready!

Love it! Wow, this is shaping up to be a great Blossoms era!

Least overrated? That hurts my brain, can't you just say underrated?

01 HRVY & Malú Trevejo - Hasta Luego · I'm not usually massively into twinkpop but I've always had a soft spot for HRVY's music, he's delivered some seriously under-rated bops, of which this certainly is one - although it's by no means the best! 02 Tom Grennan - Found What I've Been Looking For · I still love this as much as I did when I first heard it, such a strong song! And tbh I don't think he's ever made anything quite as good as this since! 03 Calvin Harris - Feel So Close (Radio Edit) · This is up there with the best of Calvin's bangerz. And perhaps contrary to popular opinion, I quite like his voice! 04 Darin - Lovekiller · Never heard of him but wow this is a nice discovery, really enjoyed this! 05 Sam Smith - Diamonds · They can be a bit hit and miss for me but this is a genuinely good song. 06 Sam Fender - Chin Up · This Sam is also a bit hit and miss for me (maybe it's something about Sams) but I do like this song, always thought it was one of the album highlights. 07 Lewis Capaldi - Hold Me While You Wait · I must admit, I don't mind a bit of LewCap. He has stronger songs than this one though, which I look forward to. 08 Roosevelt - Luna · Another new name to me and I quite liked it, nice production in particular. 09 Damien Rice - 9 Crimes · I'm never been a big fan of his (the obvious single aside) but this wasn't too bad. 10 Mackenzy Mackay - Want You For Life · This sounded a bit Tom Grennan-y but not quite as good. I'm intrigued to hear more from him in future rounds though. 11 Gary Numan - We Are Glass · Sadly this didn't do too much for me. 12 Bladee - Cartier’god Icedancer (Intermission) · This feels like a joke pick? A thousand apologies if it's not!

Thanks DaTilt! Hey James *.* Yeah I'm still really enjoying both 'Ain't In LA' and 'MY Body Isn't Ready', expect to see them hanging around for a while. Maybe the same for 'Watch It Burn' actually! DNH isn't up there with Tove's absolute best but it's still good. Pretty much the same comment for the CRJ song. Yep 'Marianne' deffo coming to smash Oh hopefully 'Stop The Wedding!' will grow on you, it's a banger! The Slayyyyter song is just not doing much for me sadly so don't expect big things of it here lol. Thanks

Has the 3 year rule for ACR completely gone out of the window now then?

Five sets of answers received so far, keep them coming!

Would you mind reminding me a few hours before the deadline incase I forget please? I've got a couple of songs in mind, I just need to make a decision.

I guess Claire cos she's a bit basic

It's just you and Zara

Tell me you're behind The Vengaboys without telling me you're behind the Vengaboys

At least with Bladee's presence HRVY is safe for next week!

Yeah, true - they've got 7 top 10 hits but they're likely the only ones that people will know, so the other ones need to be good choices and played at the right time!

Vengaboys are smashing this round!! Early favourites to win?

Could Zara actually be in trouble?

I was obviously being a bit facetious, don't take everything so literally

Right, let's do the ladies (so to speak) 01 Adele - Hello · And hello to you Adele! I know this song hasn't quite stood the test of time for some but I still love it, and vocally she's never sounded more flawless. 02 Dido - White Flag · What a song! In truth it was almost too close to call for whether this or Adele would top my votes and on another day it might have finished the other way round. 03 MARINA - Bubblegum Bitch · Irresistibly catchy, one of Marina's highlights! 04 Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Music Gets the Best of Me · I think it'll be hard to send a bad Sophie song to this contest! 05 Kate Bush - Hounds of Love · Maybe not quite my favourite from the Bush but still a great song. 06 Robyn - Talk to Me · Probably would have been a bit higher if it wasn't so recent, but as it is it can't quite hold up against certified classics. 07 Leona Lewis - Better in Time (Single Mix) · Nice enough from Leona but I'm looking forward to others of hers more. 08 Jessie Ware - Sauna · Not bad but once again it suffers from being too recent. 09 Milica Pavlović - Ona nosi Pradu · Well this was certainly the best of the ones I wasn't previously familiar with. Loved the instrumental parts, but the vocals didn't quite do it for me. 10 Agnes - Selfmade · I was expecting this to be really bad judging by some of the comments above, but I thought it was fine. 11 Tove Lo feat. Wiz Khalifa - Influence · Nothing special but not terrible. 12 Zara Larsson - Love Me Land · We all love Zara but this song is not it, sorry. I'll do the men tomorrow (if they're lucky!)
