It didn't get enough points in the first round to qualify. You can vote for Alejandro in the second semi-final.

I'm giving it a miss as well, sorry.

If you haven't voted yet, this is the last day to do so.

4th - 10th February 1965 27. Game Of Love - Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders This will be the group's biggest hit, reaching number 2 and topping the Billboard chart. It's a good tune and there are some effective tempo changes but the lyrics are a bit basic. 39. Funny How Love Can Be - The Ivy League A first hit for this English group is a pleasant song with three-part vocal harmonies. 40. Long After Tonight Is Over - Jimmy Radcliffe Recorded in 1962 but not a hit until now, this Bacharach & David penned song has a powerful vocal and a dramatic string arrangement. Record of the week: 33. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - The Animals A classic song by The Animals with another effortless vocal from Eric Burdon and that distinctive guitar riff. First recorded by Nina Simone in 1964, this version will peak at number 3. Ad36jrguvpI

Round 1: 24 Round 2: 39 :cheer: 3 in 10: 3 Every time she comes up, I remember she has many hits with 'love' in the title

Good to see you've kept your old diaries, I threw mine away a long time ago. I was also reading comics, watching Doctor Who and playing tiddlywinks. I had a river nearby as well but threw back any fish I caught in my fishing net.

Round 1: 27 Round 2: 33 3 in 10: 1

28th January - 3rd February 1965 33. What In The World's Come Over You - The Rockin' Berries A second top 40 hit for this group, it's a decent effort with good use of the falsetto from the lead singer. 36. Yes I Will - The Hollies Their fifth consecutive top 10 single, I'm liking the vocal harmonies but the song itself doesn't really stand out. 38. Everybody Knows - The Dave Clark Five A slower style of music from them this time and this one has the sort of chorus that will stick in my head. I'm surprised it will only go up one more place, it sounds like a bigger hit to me. They will later record another single with the same title. 39. Soldier Boy - The Cheetahs I remember 'Mecca' from this group and this cover of the Shirelles' song is just as quirky. It's all over the place but I'll forgive them again for not taking themselves too seriously. Record of the week : 32. Come See About Me - The Supremes I'm going for the Supremes again with their third hit single. It's not as good as the first two but the familiar Motown sound is here along with some fine vocals from the trio. It will be their third US number 1 but only get to number 27 in the UK. PycKSdKG_74

Yes, I'll reveal which songs scored the most points in the first round after the final has finished.

The cut off point has been reached! So despite three more people voting in the first round compared to last year, the score required to qualify is one less than the 63 points we had for the number 6 single poll. 100 singles had a points total greater than 61 points. We also have eight wild cards, these are the songs that were given 30 points by one voter but didn't receive enough points from others to go through. So there will be 54 songs in each semi-final with the top 25 going through to the final. These are the wild cards, with the person who gave them 30 points in brackets: 30 pts Rick Mayall - Noble England (gasman449) 30 pts Bloc Party - Two More Years (Jaz13music) 35 pts Martin Garrix and Jay Hardway – Wizard (CowTzy) 46 pts Siouxsie and The Banshees - Hong Kong Garden (Severin) 49 pts Snow Patrol - You're All I Have (jimwatts) 52 pts Roy Orbison - I Drove All Night (JulianT) 53 pts Chris Cornell - You Know My Name (ukchartsstatsfan) 59 pts Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Mixed Up World (AH Gold) The first semi-final will start tomorrow.

61 points Altered Images - Don't Talk To Me About Love Planet Perfecto – Bullet In The Gun 2000 Sisters Of Mercy - This Corrosion ZUg6yzKrRXo This was the third and final top 10 single for Altered Images with two of them featuring in this poll. From 1987, This Corrosion stretches to 11 minutes on Sisters Of Mercy's second album 'Floodland'. Bullet From A Gun reached number 15 in 1999 with a remix taking it higher the following year.

60 points Natasha Bedingfield - Soulmate Emma Bunton - I'll Be There Noah And The Whale - 5 Years Time Y3PELIU1i4c From 2007, this was the first of just two top 40 hits for the English group. Natasha Bedingfield has two number 7 singles but no one voted for the other one, 'I Wanna Have Your Babies'.

59 points Fun - Some Nights Dannii Minogue vs Flower Power - You Won't Forget About Me qQkBeOisNM0 Some Nights was Fun's follow-up to their number 1 single 'We Are Young'. They have not had any more top 40 hits since then. It's the end of the road for Dannii Minogue who loses her second song.

58 points Pink - Trouble Ben Pearce - What I Might Do mFhSLB-Ys0k What I Might Do was not a hit when first released in 2012 but charted the following year after being featured in an advertisement for Tesco F&F. From 2003, Trouble was Pink's ninth top 10 single.

I'll be watching the football and then need to finish the number 7 poll results after that so I won't be there, sorry. I would have turned up if we were still in the 70s/80s but there are very few 90s number 1s that I would want to listen to.

Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You EMF - Unbelievable Extreme - More Than Words Londonbeat - I've Been Thinking About You P.M. Dawn - Set Adrift On Memory Bliss I won't pick any for the worst as I wasn't at the session.

57 points Michael Gray - The Weekend MK - 17 Sugababes - Wear My Kiss N3kkNfH4yco Michael Gray was the man behind the Brits 1990 Dance Medley which reached number 2. The Weekend was his biggest hit under his own name and has uncredited vocals by Shèna. MK's 17 also has uncredited vocals, this time by Carla Monroe. Sugababes still have their double A side single to come.

56 points Eighth Wonder - I'm Not Scared Bill Withers - Lovely Day Layla by Derek and the Dominos scored 56 points but is disqualified as it peaked at number 4 J-PYqUHfTMA This was the biggest hit for the group fronted by Patsy Kensit. It was written and co-produced by the Pet Shop Boys who quickly recorded their own version. Lovely Day by Bill Withers reached number 7 in 1978 with a remix going as high as number 4 ten years later. Toward the end of the song he holds a note for 18 seconds.

55 points Lucid - I Can't Help Myself bH9FuJLdoCc Some more 90s dance now with this one from 1998. It was one of three top 30 hits for the British group.

54 points Martin Jensen - Solo Dance Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Pandora's Box Wink – Higher State of Consciousness (remix) DoORJ6_0Rtw Higher State of Consciousness reached number 8 for Josh Wink in 1995 but this remix took it one place higher the following year. My book of hit singles shows the artist as Winx but it seems to be credited to Wink elsewhere so that's what I'm putting here. OMD had a bit of a revival in 1991 with Sailing On The Seven Seas getting to number 3, their first top 10 hit since 1984. It was followed up by Pandora's Box.
