It is a cracking pop song

Big win for Jack Draper at Indian Wells after he beat Djokovic in 3 sets Even more remarkable considering he’s on his return from injury! He needed a good run to defend points gained from winning last years title Also - for the neutral fan, this point was insane

Massively prefer Remember Monday’s song from last year but I can see the appeal with this one Hope it does well for him

Think I’ve got a shot actually! Random question - anyone remember the mid 00’s C4 show ‘Sugar Rush’. Whenever I hear One Way or Another my head immediately goes to that show as it was the theme song

3 horrible ones for me Nelly Furtado vs Blondie Erasure vs Bowie And another one where I prefer one artist (was actually an artist I had considered) but prefer the song of the other artist!

I’d be proud to have sent The Chicks (or any of the lesser known artists for that matter). Kind of wish future Pop Factors have more underdogs

Think the plan will be to send something I love and hope it resonates with people

I dunno, are there popular songs that have been played to death and may see people voting for the competitor? I’m looking at you Dancing Queen

Kind of hope the 13th act is a surprise and not an obvious choice Think I know what song would get me through to the final 12!

Choices choices choices! How to get through the next round?!

Looking forward to seeing what the next category is :) Have a couple of songs I really want to send!

Like A Prayer Frozen Hung Up American Pie Music Vogue Into The Groove Who’s That Girl Papa Don't Preach 4 Minutes Sorry La Isla Bonita True Blue

On first listen - much preferred Iconic This feels very generic to me and I got bored! I accept this for ballads as I like how they grow on repeat listens Maybe it’ll be a grower…

Voted in all 3 Another round where the groups shone for me.

Nelly Furtado - pop perfection. Everything is great about this song and the album is soooo underrated (imo) Delta Goodrem - not my fave song of hers but a good return and hope it does well for her Lily Allen - not my fave of hers either but better than what I’ve ranked below Kesha - there’s a theme here for me Chappell Roan - grew on me with repeat listens Rosalía - love the vocals, song didn’t grow on me much though Kelly Clarkson - wanted to like this more Lisa - alright FKA Twigs - liked the vocals, song didn’t do much for me

The Weeknd - just an out and out great pop song Troye Sivan - I’m a sucker for a song that pulls at the heartstrings and that’s what this song did for me George Michael - such a nice soulful song. It makes me sad that people have commented that this song is boring. Conan Gray - nice pop song Ruel - like the hook, could have done with it being bigger Eric Saade - I debated for ages about sending a song where my act is a featured artist, I’m kinda glad I didn’t. This is nice but it took me out of it with Eric being only featured Nik Kershaw - grew on me a little over repeat listens Fred Again - like the vocals David Bowie - I always loved what he did with this song/album, for his fans, but just not a fan of the song sadly

Purchased

The Corrs - such an amazing pop song, I firmly believe if this had been released in their Breathless era it would have been another number one Haim - adore this song and the video is wonderfully simplistic and awesome Abba - a staple Abba song Scissor Sisters - underrated gem by them, actually really enjoyed seeing it live last year Atomic Kitten - bought this when it came out and loved it, then heard the original and I liked this less! But still a solid choice The Chicks - bravo for them getting this far, even if this is the end of the road. A good song that builds well Florence - I prefer other songs by them Blondie - I like but again prefer other songs by them Erasure - found it only alright
