  1. Looks like Klumzee was more on the money as the songs I voted are 1, 5, =7, 10, 11, =12, =12 and =14! A shame Tinashe didn't do better, and I'm surprised Maren didn't have more appeal with this song.

    Big improvement for Coldplay lately who were 3rd last in the table 2 rounds ago! I don't think it'll last but we'll see :') Impressive consistency Pixie Lott has had (and Kim Petras, but she has many songs that would improve that if the time comes); The Weeknd on the other hand has my least consistent run so far.
  3. Strong round, love the top 7! 1. Tinashe - Company (thank you!) 2. Coldplay - Violet Hill 3. Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You 4. Röyksopp - Only This Moment (before listening I thought they could be in danger for me considering the competition, but this is my favourite entry of theirs so far!) 5. The Weeknd - Wicked Games (also thank you for giving this a chance!) 6. Janet Jackson - All For You 7. Maren Morris - My Church (glad to have this here, my favourite song of hers ^_^ [excluding 'The Middle'... maybe]) 8. Tove Lo - Glad He's Gone 9. Hailee Steinfeld - Love Myself 10. Pixie Lott - Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh) 11. Kim Petras - Icy (the pursuit to get a single one of my favourites of hers in here continues - I do like 'Icy' but I prefer 8/9 of the album's pre-singles :') ) 12. Mariah Carey - Fantasy 13. Carly Rae Jepsen - I Really Like You 14. Gorillaz feat. slowthai & Slaves - Momentary Bliss (was very surprised you didn't go for either 'Clint Eastwood' or 'Stylo' - this is kind of interesting but didn't do much for me unfortunately) 15. Greyson Chance - Afterlife 16. S Club 7 - Bring It All Back
  4. Is the male vocalist on 'Only This Moment' one of the members of Röyksopp? The only answer I found is this Amazon review: 1. Only This Moment - 3:42 - good song with vocals by Röyksopp, but no longer by Erlend Oye (Poor Leno, Remind Me). It still has some of the sounds typical of Röyksopp, but with a more pop orientation. In addition to the vocals of Röyksopp, they are beautiful female vocals by Kate Havnevik (sounding like Sheryl Deane in Thrillseekers' Synaesthesia). There is not a lot of music between the lyrics, so that you really feel the song is a radio edit. I had no idea either of them sing, if so! And now I'm realising 'Circuit Breaker' probably has the same vocalist, but I didn't think about it. I just wondered now because his voice (and the production even) reminded me a lot of Jan Blomqvist, who (a) didn't exist back then and (b) would be a very surprising collab.

  7. I saw the start of this list and thought it was chronological but you somehow put 'Emotions' in the wrong place :kink: 'Emotions' and 'Honey' are my preferences! My 3rd favourite is 'Touch My Body'.
  8. 'Wicked Games' would be great to see!
  9. 'Doesn't Really Matter' was a soundtrack single that was also included on the album (and it came out about 9 months before the single 'All For You') so I think either of them could be accepted as the lead single, like how 'Papa Don't Preach' was allowed in the round of lead singles in the previous AF Idol even though 'Live To Tell' came first.
  10. 'Violet Hill' and 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall' are 2 of my favourite Coldplay songs!
  11. I was just thinking earlier that with 2 'BLUE LIPS' songs having been entered and having done so well, maybe 'Disco Tits' could get a chance... and then a suitable theme immediately comes! It's my preference for sure :wub: (and I'm guessing there's a good chance 'Habits (Stay High)' is being saved for later?)
  12. I'm glad you need '2 On' for later as that means 'Company' (my favourite Tinashe song as I said before) gets a chance!! I hope I'm not the only one who favours it :')
  13. I would love to see 'Never Again'! I love 'My Life Would Suck Without You' too, but I feel like it appears in games regularly on this site and it's an obviously popular #1 hit whereas 'Never Again' is probably easily overlooked, so if it was up to me I'd much rather give 'Never Again' a chance in the spotlight for once ^_^
  14. So... what counts as the 'first single of an era' for Kim? 1. Is 'Broken' the first single of 'Clarity', or are all 9 pre-album singles considered promo singles like Wikipedia thinks, leaving 'Icy' (ironically one of only 3 songs on the album that was not individually released) as its only single? 2. Does 'Era 1' count as an era since, although it's not an album, it has the literal word 'era' in the name it's often referred to by, in which case 'I Don't Want It At All' is also an option? (3. Is 'Reminds Me' the first single of a future album? I don't even know) I hope for 'Broken' ^_^
  15. Kind of sad to see only 25 voters (compared to the other rounds so far having 30+). Impressive how well Janet did with an album track from 1993 that I assume not many people (myself included) would've heard before! WD Greyson doing... relatively well.
  16. Would you say it's such a... difficult listen :basil: - This was a really good round! I was only familiar with Coldplay (congrats on sneaking in a radio single :') ) and Tove Lo really, and it was nice to hear selections of their best album tracks (as opposed to the previous album tracks round being more like 'best of the weakest', which is interesting thematically but obviously weaker musically). 1. Röyksopp - Circuit Breaker (very cool and also very distinct from their other songs so far / that I know!) 2. Coldplay - Lovers In Japan (Osaka Sun Mix) 3. Carly Rae Jepsen - Gimmie Love (easily my favourite 'E-MO-TION' entry so far!) 4. Janet Jackson - This Time (really good track, I think it beats at least half of the singles from the album!) 5. Gorillaz feat. Danny Brown & Kelela - Submission (surprised I barely noticed this at the time considering the trio of names on it) 6. Tove Lo - stranger 7. Kelly Clarkson - Don't Let Me Stop You 8. Greyson Chance - Summertrain (honestly was not looking forward to listening to a song with presumed pre-teen vocals, but Jonjo's comparisons significantly lifted my expectations, and I really like the song! I'd certainly prefer if he re-recorded it now, but I can accept it as is - enough for it to become my first vote of his :o) 9. Hailee Steinfeld - You're Such A (definitely would be worth a vote too!) 10. Kim Petras - Close Your Eyes 11. Pixie Lott - Doing Fine (Without You) (I feel like this could've been a single) 12. Tinashe - Feels Like Vegas 13. Maren Morris - The Feels 14. S Club 7 - Bring The House Down 15. The Weeknd - Save Your Tears (less songs like this, more songs like the career-defining opus [alongside 'Starboy'] that is 'After Hours' pls @TheWeeknd) 16. Mariah Carey - Whenever You Call (nothing wrong with it, just this kind of ballad is not my thing usually)
  17. Elton John's 'Something About... / Candle In The Wind 1997' did this too: 1-1-1-1-1-3-3-4-5-7-11-10-11-10-11-10-13-21-32-39...
  18.

  19. Please! :wub: I really like 'Touch Pass' too as an alternative (but I definitely wouldn't choose it when 'Ghetto Boy' is an option!).
  20. 'Higher' should be sent for this alone @769562314492248069
  21. 'Higher' and 'Want You In My Room' are (alongside 'Cut To The Feeling') my favourite songs of hers from the last few years and are seemingly both eligible (I thought 'Want You In My Room' was a single of some sort but Wikipedia doesn't call it one) so I'd like to suggest them! ^_^
  22. Damn, this theme really doesn't suit her when literally 95% of her non-Halloween songs were released individually :lol: 'Tell Me It's A Nightmare' is my favourite of her Halloween songs so that's my suggestion, followed by probably 'In The Next Life' and 'Wrong Turn'. Edit: ^ really? I'd have assumed anything released as a literal single would be considered a single.

    ^ My summon worked :magic: Röyksopp (surprisingly!) are now my only 100%-voted artist left standing, but others are getting very close behind in points! Greyson is now my only 0 left (a shame 'shut up' couldn't have been in an easier round).
  24. 1. Kelly Clarkson - Behind These Hazel Eyes (#14 -> #14 -> #16 -> #1 *.*) 2. Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill 3. Janet Jackson - Rhythm Nation 4. Mariah Carey feat. Jay-Z - Heartbreaker 5. Tove Lo - Sweettalk My Heart 6. Hailee Steinfeld - Back To Life (underrated song, nice to have it get a moment in the spotlight here) 7. Kim Petras - Do Me (my favourite of her entered songs so far, but I'd still only barely rank it in my top 20 of hers!) 8. Röyksopp feat. Susanne Sundfør - Never Ever 9. Pixie Lott - Turn It Up 10. Tinashe - Stormy Weather 11. Coldplay - The Scientist 12. Maren Morris - I Could Use A Love Song 13. Carly Rae Jepsen - Your Type 14. Greyson Chance - Good As Gold 15. S Club 7 - Reach 16. The Weeknd feat. Daft Punk - I Feel It Coming (#16 -> #1 -> #16 in the last 3 rounds lol :') )
