I knew Iran & NZ are long shots to win, but I hope both of them pull upsets and somehow get advance to R32 and beyond over the favourites like Belgium and Egypt.

Does RMI ever hit DCL-2 and DCL-3 at some point outside of Christmas season?

The #1 lead on singles is gonna be very close with Thursday streams being estimated. Hopefully Harry American Girls can prevail by Friday because Sam+Olivia Rein Me In will be #1 for long time and doesn't show any sign to ACR anytime soon.

17 out of my SF2 top 25 list made to the final with the biggest casualty being Madonna Human Nature

+25 Arctic Monkeys - Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High? +24 Pet Shop Boys - Suburbia +23 Muse - Time Is Running Out +22 Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends +21 The Supremes - You Keep Me Hangin' On +20 Bananarama - Venus +19 Sister Sledge - We Are Family +18 Eagles - Hotel California +17 Katrina and the Waves - Walking On Sunshine +16 Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing +15 Amy Winehouse - Back To Black +14 Madonna - Human Nature +13 Linkin Park - In The End +12 Robyn - Dancing On My Own +11 Kylie Minogue - Padam Padam +10 Natalie Imbruglia - Shiver +9 Kelly Clarkson - Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) +8 Whitney Houston - Greatest Love Of All +7 Michael Jackson - Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' +6 The Veronicas - Untouched +5 Rihanna - California King Bed +4 Wilkinson featuring Becky Hill - Afterglow +3 Chris Brown - With You +2 Bus Stop featuring Carl Douglas - Kung Fu Fighting +1 Taylor Swift - I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

Now that RMI finally get #1, it's time for Olivia to focus on performing So Easy at the BRITs so she can get 3rd #1 in quick succession

I guess in some way this might explain why Rein Me In manage to avoid ACR for so long.

16 out of my SF1 top 25 made it to the final so that's quite a lot of cuts for me, but my entire top 16 apart from 1 song (Robyn Show Me Love) was keep intact to make up for it.

Just drop my vote above

Totally forgot the 1st semi voting, can I still vote for this? Got to start the list right away.

Just realised I totally left out Caesars (Palace) Jerk It Out 😭😭😭

Check out some of the clauses in the RMNZ chart rules https://aotearoamusiccharts.co.nz/api/media/file/2025-09-30%20-%20Chart%20Rules%20-%20PDF%20version%20for%20website.pdf I guess the chart committee interpreted the rules in a way Djo EOB exceed the 78 week threshold based on the song first Top 40 chart appearance on 26 February 2024 which made the song return to catalogue chart instead. Otherwise I have the same question as you for RMNZ like how Prince Purple Rain allowed to return Top 40 while Djo EOB can't and stuck on catalogue chart.

Wonder why Djo End of Beginning was not reentered into the main chart considering it gain lots of popularity again
