Congratulations Julian on winning with Abba, I'm glad my favourite two songs by them, The Day Before You Came and One Of Us, were part of your selections. I placed Lily Allen above Kelly Clarkson in most of the rounds but put 'Sober' second in my vote in the final as it was a better song than Lily's, I didn't know either song that well. Thanks Calum for all the work you put into this again, getting every round started promptly and presenting all the results.

Thanks. Round 1: 36 Two Round 2: 39 💥 3 in 10: 1 Needles And Pins Both of the contestants getting 39 points is certainly a rarity.

Thanks, both of you. Round 1: 39 💥 Round 2: 27 Smokie, Best For Last, Sugar Minott 3 in 10: 3 Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me), Judy Teen, Here Comes The Sun

I have voted. Good luck to the three finalists.

Good to hear Suzi Quatro is still going strong. Round 1: 39 💥 Round 2: 36 The year (one year out) The same as you today. 3 in 10: 2 Human, Somebody Told Me (I knew there was a song that's been in the top 100 for years but couldn't think what it was, Mr Brightside of course)

I forgot to do this earlier so just predicting Wednesday: AFC Bournemouth 3-1 Leeds United Burnley 0-4 Manchester City

21st - 27th April 1966 22. Pretty Flamingo - Manfred Mann https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETyi41Us_vM A fine pop song that will give this group their second number 1. I like the use of the flute but otherwise it's structure is fairly basic so not one of the best chart toppers of the year. 40. I Fought The Law - The Bobby Fuller Four https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytE2JMyBAe0 First recorded The Crickets, I'm more familiar with the cover by The Clash and don't remember hearing this version before. There's plenty of energy present on the vocals and guitar work. Bobby Fuller will sadly be dead in a few months with the cause never quite being clearly proven. Record of the week : 36. Sloop John B - The Beach Boys Originating in the Bahamas in 1916, the Beach Boys arrangement of this song is now the definitive version. The vocal harmonies they are known for are still here but we now have a more elaborate production which will be typical of the 'Pet Sounds' album which will be released next month. The single will peak at number 2, behind 'Pretty Flamingo'.

Thanks. Round 1: 33 Sly and the Family Stone Round 2: 36 She's Not There 3 in 10: 3 Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This), Thorn In My Side, Who's That Girl

Voted, I only liked two of these songs so it wasn't difficult putting them in order.

Wah! - The Story Of The Blues Echo And The Bunnymen - The Cutter Toto - Africa Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Genetic Engineering Tears For Fears - Change

Always On My Mind is a fantastic cover version. It would certainly be part of my top 3 no.1s from the year. Is there another video for the song? I only know the one with Joss Ackland in the back seat of their car.

I can host a synctube listenthrough on Monday 27th April. I thought it best to leave it to week 2 as there will be two BJSC semi-final listenthroughs this week.

Nik Kershaw's songs for the final: I didn't know someone had made an Inbetweeners video for this song. I does fit with the lyrics very well.
