4 hours until the deadline! @awardinary here is your reminder as requested.

iamamiwhoami has no chance of winning, looking at the votes they'll finish around mid-table I think

We're now up to 21 participants - so if anyone wants to update their bonus questions based on this, you can do. I'll also post a player count update before the deadline tonight.

^ Did that happen last time? Either way I'm sure Calum knows what he's doing!

What's up Jordan! 1. Ariana Grande – Hate That I Made You Love Me [3-4-1] Oh wow I was NOT expecting this to reverse direction I don't think it's her best song by any means but it's not bad. I do think it's the best song on an otherwise average album though! 2. Olivia Rodrigo – Stupid Song [11-3-2] 3. Gracie Abrams – Hit The Wall [30-15-2-3] 5. Sienna Spiro – Great Expectation [8-5] It's taken a long time but this has finally started to grow on me a little! 6. Sombr – My Body Isn’t Ready [6-6] Still really loving this, one of my favourite songs of the year so far. Hope it doesn't stall at #6 for you, definitely deserves top 5! #fingerscrossed 7. Teddy Swims – Mr. Know It All [26-13-5-1-7] 8. Ariana Grande – Petal Not as good as the first single but I'm intrigued as to how this is going to perform for you next month... 9. Taylor Swift – I Knew It, I Knew You [21-13-9] 10. Olivia Rodrigo – The Cure [1-5-10] 15. Olivia Rodrigo – Drop Dead [16-3-4-9-15] 18. Benson Boone – The Time Of My Life [25-18] 20. Gracie Abrams – Look At My Life [26-20] I think this is a better song than Hit The Wall. 21. Alyssa Grace – Bloodstream [36-21] Really Jordan??? I think this is terrible 23. Shakira & Burna Boy – Dai Dai [22-23] 25. Katseye – Animal This is pretty good but I do prefer Hootie Frutti from their EP, that's so much fun! 28. Adela – Ain’t In LA Always nice to see my #1 appear in your chart really hoping this smashes for you, I love the 2000s vibe it has! 30. Anotr & 54 Ultra – Talk To You [32-26-16-12-30] 36. Katseye – Hootie Frutti Oh and speaking of Hootie Fruitti, here it is Nice selection

I'm going to extend the deadline by a day - you will now have until 23:59 tomorrow (Monday 21st September). Results will follow either on Tuesday or Wednesday (depending on my social plans!) We have 18 entries so far, hopefully we will get above 20.

Not sure what you mean by "run tracker" but I've already got a spreadsheet which contains runs for all playlisted songs since 2012

Oh sorry it was a lower case A so I missed it Out of interest, of her lead artist singles, 11 have made the A-list (including 9 in a row between 2019 and 2023). 'Alive' was the first one to make the A-list after a run of 7 B-list singles. Of her collabs, only 'Crush' was AJ Tracey from last year was A-listed. Pretty impressive for her overall but I can see support starting to wane going forward.

It already has hit the list lol it's the 26th as mentioned.

Yep, this is her 26th as lead artist, way more than I realised too! (she's also had 6 as credited artist)

That's blatant racism against Sweden

ROSÉ for me but quite enjoyed Teddy's track too

A bit underwhelming on first listen but Something Beautiful took a good few listens to grow on me so I'm not writing it off just yet. The production is great though. I think 'Let's Get Married' and 'Redlights' were the only two that instantly stood out.

Tbh I will probably extend it a day

When I explain the answer I don't think it will be that tenuous but we'll see!

You have the rest of the weekend to get your answers in folks!

That last part is TMI tbh

And the problem with that is...?

Not even totally sure that would've been playlisted (@Sempachorra can probably confirm)

Hi Seltin! Don't get your hopes up for Slayyyter, I'm not really getting into it :/ Ashe on the other hand is going to SMASH! Carly should go top 10 fingers crossed but I think Katy's climbed as high as she's going to! Thanks

Yeah that is a fair point about low sales. I'm #teamdua this week then, and #teamashe the following week!

Vengaboys? Nah he's not that classy

Can't see Dua going to #1 but we live in hope. What are the chances of Ashe getting there in the next couple of weeks, hopefully that's a possibility?

Well I'm suspecting you for Bananarama - cheap basic pop!

Yeah I've got dandy* down as Kate Bush and Rollo for Gary Numan.
