I think at this point there's never been a more obvious future #1 than Babydoll!

Regardless of how it's scoring though, it's still a definite advantage on an otherwise level playing field - guess it's not too much of a big deal though, unless it eliminates one of the other entries by 1 point or something lol

Personally I think any kind of single (official, promo, grat, focus track) should have been avoided in this round as per the requirement. Spending 9 weeks on Radio 1's playlist certainly gives 'The Treadmill' an advantage over other tracks here!

Look at HRVY with all those top half votes!

1 Darin - Om du var min · Another week, another Darin banger! Definitely need to dive into his discography as I'm really enjoying what I've heard so far. 2 HRVY - Never Be Us · I know the selection was limited given the theme but I think this is the best possible pick for HRVY, not quite as bangery as the last two picks but definitely the best song from the EP! 3 Lewis Capaldi - Heavenly Kind of State of Mind · I prefer this one out of Lewis's two albums and this is a good pick from it. 4 Tom Grennan - If Only · Evering Road is probably my favourite of his albums and this is a decent opener to it. 5 Sam Smith - Lose You · Are we sure this wasn't a single? It was on Now 115! I'd rank it about average in his discography. 6 Gary Numan - M.E. · So this is what Basement Jaxx sampled in Where's Your Head At! So yeah it already had that going for it, and the rest of the song wasn't too bad. 7 Calvin Harris feat. Tinashe - Dollar Signs · I quite liked the drop but the rest of it was a bit meh. 8 Sam Fender - The Treadmill · Are we also sure this wasn't a single? Radio 1 usually only ever playlist official singles. Either way I'm not a huge fan of this one. 9 Roosevelt - Forget · Not too bad, but it just sounded a bit samey all the way through. 10 Damien Rice - Amie · Apologies to whoever sent him but Damien really isn't doing it for me.

It's legit my favourite thing she's put out since the Midnights era, I don't get the hate for it!

Before I saw you posted these I was gonna suggest Cotton Eye Joe, but you beat me to it!

HOW is Taylor not storming this?!

Oh I really like that Fontaines song for a change but I don't think I recognise many of the others. I'm surprised I've never heard that Texas song before, looking forward to hearing it!

I know a lot of these but I need to be reminded of some of them! That Adele song is great though, I'm thinking she's gonna walk this round!

I wouldn't call HRVY's song a banger but I do like it, it's the best song on the EP! Hopefully it'll be enough to get him through. I know a handful of the others but I'm looking forward to hearing the rest tomorrow

Right I've submitted my song choice! In the end I went with my head and not my heart... praying I made the right choice
