The first person to be revealed is... gooddelta! gooddelta sent Annie - Me Plus One From Annie's debut album Anniemal comes this wonderful slice of Norwegian electropop. It's an album I still play from time to time and 'Me Plus One' is undoubtedly one of the highlights on it! gooddelta's voting: So it's an early lead for The Radio Dept. but can they sustain it?

Welcome to the results of Bop Idol 3.0! I haven't hosted anything of this complexity before but I'm hoping it will all run smoothly! I'm intending to not let the results drag on too long - aiming to be done by 10.30 ish.

Right then, let's do this!

All I will say is that a very small selection of those are correct!

Interesting you should say that...

Tom's song is his best in ages! Same for Sugababes! I'm obsessed with FUFN 💓 Thanks!

Well, I have news for you on that front. But I'm not going to tell you until this evening 😃

Results are prepped and ready to be presented! I hope to kick them off shortly after 8pm this evening.

This sounds great from the clip, much more like it compared to 'Something Beautiful'.

Yeah I'm not a fan. I'm all for experimentation and not playing it safe, but this just sounds boring.

All votes now received and I've decided that no point deductions will be necessary.

Three excellent songs in that batch! 'My Immortal' is just sublime - the single version in particular. Love the haunting melody and vocals, and then when the guitars come in it really HITS. 'We Didn't Start The Fire' is a lot of fun, always enjoy hearing that. 'Alejandro' is Gaga at her absolute finest, I could never tire of it ❤️ I'd very much agree with this!

Good to see continued support for the Sugababes, 'Jungle' is a great song. Good to see Tom Grennan on the A-list too, hope that can become a hit.

Hey Sergej, plenty of action in the top ten this week! That really is a STRONG start for the Sugababes, 'Jungle' is a great song, and they sound as good as ever on it. Huge climb for HAIM too - 'Relationships' hasn't really blown me away yet, but I'm still hoping it will! Shame Chappell couldn't get another week at the top with 'The Giver' but I have a feeling it will stick around for a while. Further down, I'm happy to see JADE enter your chart - 'FUFN' is already shaping up to be one of my songs of the year, I'm obsessed with it ❤️ Great chart 😃

Thank you Sergej 🙂

I'm planning on hosting the Bop Idol 3 results in the 21st Century forum tomorrow evening, so hopefully that won't clash with these results?

I actually love both of these songs, but for me 'Bad Boys' takes it by a whisker.

Voting is now CLOSED! There is one entrant I have not received votes from, and for that their song will be deducted a third of its total points - I have agreed this with the mods, as this is what happens with other song contests on the site. All things being well, results will come tomorrow evening 😃

'Le Freak' is good but I only scored it relatively low because there was so much competition. The other two are great!

Just waiting on three votes now... tick tock tick tock ⏳

Always loved 'An Honest Mistake', it's one of the defining indie songs of the 2000s decade for sure! 😮

Hey Jordan! 1 - Yes that's definitely a very quick climb to #1 by my standards, and one which will more than likely be repeated next week 😉 2 - Agreed! 5 - Definitely impressive how he's suddenly blown up and that the previous two singles have sprung into life even if the catalyst was a slightly more inferior song - not that I'm complaining! 7 - Oh this is very much top-tier for me too, in fact I think I already like it even more than AOMD 😮 8 - Yes I appreciate the humour in her lyrics too and this song is good but it's not up there with Taste or Px3. 27 - I completely agree that there's something lacking in this song (and in fact this whole era of Tate's). The whispered chorus certainly doesn't help! 32 - Never! 😂 Thank you!

Never heard of this sombr guy before but I just listened to the two songs and they're pretty good - I really like 'Undressed' in particular and can see it doing well!

Not bad but I feel like it's a step down from their 2022 era (which itself was a step down from their peak chart hits era).
