Round 1: 33 The Right Thing Round 2: 36 The year Tie-break : 1 out of 2 3 in 10: 2 Sign Your Name, If You Let Me Stay

Great to see Amy Hunt take the gold medal in the 100m just now.

It's six for me now, boosted by two winners this year. Club Bizarre 15 : Mike Foyle vs Signalrunners - Love Theme Dusk (Mike's Broken Record Mix) Club Bizarre 24 : Adam Dixon - Flight The Best Of Club Bizarre (winners from the first 25 contests) : Mike Foyle vs Signalrunners - Love Theme Dusk (Mike's Broken Record Mix) Unknown Pleasures 30 : Mikko Joensuu - There Used To Be A Darkness BJSC Spinoff (Lottery) : Archive - Collapse / Collide Bop Idol 7 : Camera Obscura - Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken

I've confirmed something. I hope we get plenty of entries for this theme.

Well done Tylky for that 39 score. Round 1: 33 Medicine Head Round 2: 36 Do Anything You Wanna Do 3 in 10: 3 Why, Nobody Does It Better, You're So Vain

I've not been watching much of The Hundred, it's a fairly meaningless competition. Nobody cares who wins it. I can see how it can appeal to families wanting a day out which explains how it still fills up the grounds. Instead, I've been watching Middlesex's 50 over matches on youtube. That was an exciting match against Durham today which they won right at the end thanks to three sixes from Toby Roland-Jones and Henry Brookes. It's good to see their young team top of group B with two matches left.

Even though I'm not taking part, I will listen to the 14 minute song and the 37 minute song.

Round 1: 36 Boyzone Round 2: 33 Pride (like the contestant, I could only remember 'In The Name Of Love') 3 in 10: 3 In Too Deep, No Son Of Mine, Land Of Confusion

I've been keeping an eye on the discussion. Maybe the quality of long songs has declined since the Rolloland era. We did sneak into a BJSC spinoff earlier this year and won it with a nine minute song so there is clearly still a demand here for high quality long songs. Everybody, don't be put off continuing to enter long songs to the contest. If some entrants don't want to listen to them all the way through, then they are missing out.

Well done Tylky for today's 39 and John for three more. Round 1: 33 Part Time, The Turtles Round 2: 33 Kylie Minogue, Groove 3 in 10: 2 Can The Can, 48 Crash

Round 1: 39 💥 Round 2: 21 First Class, Sing Baby Sing, the year, Kendricks 3 in 10: 3 Give Me The Night, Love x Love, In Your Eyes

4th-10th August 1966 34. More Than Love - Ken Dodd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkVpWgIudBg Another slow ballad, he doesn't really do anything else. I like the harp melody which is then taken up by the piano. 37. Just Like A Woman - Manfred Mann https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtZhk9Bs28A A fresh start for the group on a new record label with a new lead singer. This cover of a Bob Dylan song has a prominent bass guitar throughout with some nice organ embellishments in the background. Record of the week : 38. Hanky Panky - Tommy James and the Shondells A debut hit for this group is the best of today's three songs. The lyrics are repetitive but I like the raw garage rock sound and the whole thing is recorded live in one take. The single will go no higher than this position, spending five weeks between 38 and 40. It will, however, reach number 1 in the US where they will have fourteen top 40 hits but just one more to come in the UK.

That list is people coming together for one song. Sonny & Cher don't count as they were a regular pair. Queen and David Bowie can't be included as Queen were a group.

Round 1: 24 The Dickies, the year, Tonight I Celebrate My Love, The Doobie Brothers Round 2: 33 Automatically Sunshine 3 in 10: 1 Survivor

Congratulations Dan, I put your song in 7th place. Good to see my 12 pointer finish 4th. Very pleased with a 3rd place for my own song, thanks to all who voted for it. Thanks AllStar for hosting.

Thanks Cody for that 12 point score.

Thanks to all those who have voted for Sea Tides so far, especially DaTilt for the 12 points.

If there is any green algae found in the swimming pool, will Trump have all the swimmers arrested?

Round 1: 36 Tracks Of My Years Round 2: 39 💥 Tie-break: 6 out of 6 3 in 10: 3 One Small Day, Lament, We Came To Dance

Congratulations, Nine. I'm sure you'll be a good fit for the Lounge.

Another album for 28th August: Steve Hackett and Steve Rothery - The Roaring Waves The guitarists from Genesis and Marillion have combined for an instrumental album. I think it's the first collaboration of the two groups since Fish did a single with Tony Banks in 1986.

Round 1: 36 Raydio Round 2: 27 The year, The Faces, You Gave Me Love 3 in 10: 2 Nothing Ever Happens, Always The Last To Know

Great work, DaTilt, and Fade To Grey is a fantastic song which never sounds out of date. This is my own top 20 from the year: 1. Ultravox - Vienna 2. ELO - Twilight 3. Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight 4. Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Souvenir 5. Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Joan Of Arc 6. Queen & David Bowie - Under Pressure 7. Visage - Fade To Grey 8. Laurie Anderson - O Superman 9. Ultravox - All Stood Still 10. Abba - One Of Us 11. Ultravox - The Thin Wall 12. Jon & Vangelis - I'll Find My Way Home 13. Hazel O'Connor - Will You 14. Ultravox - The Voice 15. Godley & Creme - Under Your Thumb 16. Landscape - Einstein A Go-Go 17. Human League - Open Your Heart 18. Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin - It's My Party 19. Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime 20. Teardrop Explodes - Reward

Voted, there was a fairly even standard throughout so I wasn't able to include all the good ones in my vote.
