Pretty sure there isn't, though I do see the value of having a simple copy and paste process for more automation in some cases, maybe in personal chart templates perhaps. It's not the same thing, but I was thinking the other day I wish there was the ability to "favourite" your most visited threads for quick access so you could open the threads you are most interested in at any time, maybe pinning the links to the homepage or somewhere else for quick access.

Final day for voting, who's going to go through to the next round of voting...

Just having a listen to some of my former medalist position votes from past contests I've participated in, and I'm rediscovering music I don't remember giving gold medals to, and it's very refreshing to hear some of these again for the first time in a long time. I can definitely see why I gave some of these the high points I did at the time. Do you ever seek out your former medalists to remind you of what you voted for at the time? I also wonder if I'll ever recycle any of these artists for the future if a suitable entry is found.

I might reconfirm... please let me know Calum if my entrant is too cheap?

One for you @TheSnake after you made the suggestion!

The hard thing is knowing/recalling the former artists that have had a go in this type of event before and trying not to repeat them again! I take it the opening round is a free choice round then? So something not too obvious from the artist's discography?

One statistic I would be interested to see (not that it is known anywhere of course) is the number of #1 songs that entered the chart at that position (i.e. peaked on their opening week as opposed to climbed there). Wonder what percentage that would be vs. those that did not enter at #1, especially given the trajectory of the last few years now.

Only one clear winner for me here.

SoundClash returns with cover songs from the 21st Century going head to head with each other.

There's too many I think, and they are all very subjective anyway, but this song seemed to garner the majority of the comments through the thread, so it seemed logical to put a poll out.

So, if you've been following the other thread recently then you'll see this is a song many have talked about as being the most ordinary #1 in chart history. Do you agree with this? Here is a quote from @jimwatts that outlines what exactly should be deemed as ordinary when it comes to the choice made; So does that fit the bill for this song? 20/07/1996 Gary Barlow Forever Love Peak: 1 Chart run: {1}-3-10-15-29-40-48-67-55-49-63-73-56-64-63-67->16 Here is some added facts provided by Wikipedia; So what do you think? Is it the most Ordinary UK #1 of all time?

As it's something @Mangø suggested earlier on in the thread, I'll make a poll, just for that song and see how much it divides opinion. I think it could be interesting to see the outcome.

I guess all good things have to come to an end eventually.

Just shows what the bottom clubs are capable of when they aren't chasing survival. Leicester and Southamoton both holding their hopeful champions league opponents just shows that they could have shown such fight earlier in the season if they had dug deep.
