The results will be presented in order of receipt and there will be a scoreboard after every 3 votes. We will start with Tafty.

I'm pleased to see Damien Rice through to the next round. Thanks to Calum for the speedy results, now everyone please head over to the 21st Century forum where I will now be revealing the results of Bop Idol.

What a shame, Dido is one of the best singers in this category. I hope the wonderful 'Here With Me' is used for the Golden Wagner. 'Stan' is really Eminem's song, not hers.

Round 1: 39 💥 Round 1: 30 Clodagh Rodgers, Road 3 in 10: 3 The House Of The Rising Sun, Don't Bring Me Down, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

BOP IDOL 8 - WHOLE LOTTA HISTORY The votes are in and the scores have been added up. This evening, we will find out who sent what and which song will win. The results will start after the Pop Factor results have finished or 8pm, whichever is sooner. Please feel free to speculate on which songs you think are contenders to win and who sent what. Here's a couple of posts transferred from the voting thread: Roba said: Haven't put one for everyone but here's some guesses as there hasn't been any of those so far! Rich - Charlotte Martin Rollo - Sophie B Hawkins Nine 3/4 - Within Temptation Wardy - Cosmic Gate Addy - Robyn Herbs - Tori Amos and Damien Rice Scene - Christina Aguilera vibe - Cher Tafty - Aqua Spiceboy - RuPaul LeeJ - All Saints Wow73 - Ace Of Base Julian - David Byrne Jade - Unkle Mango - Placebo Uhsting - Fangoria Chez - Peter Gabriel gooddelta said: Agree on Rollo for Sophie B Hawkins, I'll add Viper for Robyn, Within Temptation for Roba, Neneh Cherry for Wardy, Addy for Ace of Base (maybe a song he didn't get to use in Pop Factor last year), Herbs is a fair shout for Tori and Damien (as presuming Herbs is Damien in Pop Factor too and also he sent Damien's former band to another contest). Aside from those, I'm not really sure this time.

Dream Academy - Life In A Northern Town Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Pleasuredome Pat Benatar - Love Is A Battlefield Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World The Rah Band - Clouds Across The Moon

There is now a full house of voters. Thanks, everyone. The results will be revealed on Monday evening. I didn't want to go from the 1980s listening session this afternoon to doing the results straight after and it will also give me enough time to do the last few scoreboards.

I won't make any deductions for late votes. Hopefully, they will all be received by the morning. As well as dhwe and uhsting, I'm just waiting for Wardy and Cody now.

Just 7 people left to vote now.

1st Ultravox - Accent on Youth 2nd New Order - Love Vigilantes 3rd Depeche Mode - Photographic 4th Sade - Pearls 5th iamamiwhoami - shadowshow 6th Texas - Like Lovers (Holding On) 7th M83 - Lower Your Eyelids to Die With the Sun 8th Years & Years - Ties 9th Bananarama - Bad For Me 10th Fontaines D.C. - Sundowner Good songs from the top 3 and that Sade song was a nice discovery, better than the singles I know by them. The M83 tune had a promising start but didn't really develop beyond that.

Round 1: 33 The Manhattans Round 2: 30 It's Only Love, This Tie-break: 4 out of 6 3 in 10: 3 Anarchy In The UK, God Save The Queen, Holidays In The Sun

Round 1: 30 The year, Radio Africa Round 2: 36 REM 3 in 10: 3 The Night Shift, Three Times A Lady, Easy

1st Damien Rice - Amie Lovely song, I noticed on the first two songs, he sounds a lot like Fyfe Dangerfield and even more so on this one and this is the sort of song that Fyfe would write. 2nd Gary Numan - M.E. 3rd Roosevelt - Forget 4th Darin - Om du var min 5th Sam Fender - The Treadmill 6th Sam Smith - Lose You 7th Lewis Capaldi - Heavenly Kind Of State of Mind 8th Tom Grennan - If Only 9th HRVY - Never Be Us 10th Calvin Harris featuring Tinashe - Dollar Signs

29th September - 5th October 1966 17. Have You Seen Your Mother Baby Standing In The Shadow - The Rolling Stones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFv38gUOTRw I like the bass guitar on this and the trumpets but it's not one of their better efforts and will break their run of eight consecutive top 3 singles, only reaching number 5. 30. Lady Godiva - Peter and Gordon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-LLvEuSKnA An update of the Lady Godiva story set in the present day with the banjo and tuba making it sound a bit like the theme to Steptoe And Son. It will be their final top 40 single. A cover by Alex Day will be a top 20 hit in 2012. 36. Dear Mrs Applebee - David Garrick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgbGLWu4ayA There's a banjo on this one as well and some trumpets. Lyrically, it's a similar theme to Sylvia's Mother by Dr Hook. I quite enjoyed it. 37. Sunny - Cher https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTatk7uCbDg For the third week running, we have a version of this song. It's a tribute to her husband Sonny but the title's spelling remains the same. I prefer it to Georgie Fame's version but the original is certainly the best. Record of the week : 34. Somewhere My Love - The Mike Sammes Singers With nothing standing out, I've gone for something I haven't heard for more than 50 years which brings back some childhood nostalgia. My mother would have the radio tuned to Radio 2 rather than Radio 1 and this would have been played a lot, even in the early 70s. Like last week's winner by The Sandpipers, it's just a lovely melody sung well by the choir and I always like the balalaika when it's used in a song to give it that European sound. The music is based on Lara's Theme from Doctor Zhivago and the song was the only top 40 hit for the group who were mainly used on other people's records or TV shows. The single spent 26 weeks in the top 40, in two separate chart runs, but only one of them in the top 20, peaking at number 14.
