Pting Rollo

I have voted. A very strong round, none of the songs got a low score from me.

China In Your Hand is one of my favourites from the year, I think I would put it in my top 5.

I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do Chat)

It has to be 'You Will Make It' by Jem which I entered to BJSC111.

Congratulations Dobbo, although I noticed a riderless horse finished ahead of the winner. Its number was 20 which was my horse, Beauport, so I would like to claim victory. Thanks Mack for running this.

Well done John for the double 39. Round 1: 33 Elton John Round 2: 39 💥 3 in 10: 3 Maneater, The Method Of Modern Love, Private Eyes

West Ham United 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers Arsenal 2-0 AFC Bournemouth Brentford 2-1 Everton Burnley 0-2 Brighton & Hove Albion Liverpool 2-1 Fulham Crystal Palace 1-1 Newcastle United Nottingham Forest 1-1 Aston Villa Sunderland 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur Chelsea 1-2 Manchester City Manchester United 3-1 Leeds United

Another new single out today: Yes - Aurora Their album with the same title is released on 12th June

The Day Before You Came is certainly my favourite Abba song. I know some people speculate it's the day before she was murdered but I would much rather think of it as the day before she met someone who would change her life for the better. Mad World and Living On The Ceiling are synthpop classics. Hymn is a better Ultravox single than Reap The Wild Wind. I knew Donna Summer's State Of Independence long before the original and prefer it to Jon & Vangelis' recording. Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You) is fantastic, especially the ten minute version with its extended outro.

7th - 13th April 1966 26. Pied Piper - Crispian St. Peters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ehJ3wH_QHU It's a second top 5 hit for this singer but also his last to reach the top 40. It has a very jolly sound to it with the repeated chorus making up most of the song. 35. Twinkle Toes - Roy Orbison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CyRhrjFOgw A Roy Orbison song that people can have a dance to. It was OK but his voice is better suited to dramatic ballads. 36. Frankie And Johnny - Elvis Presley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM7Nx9bFHfc The title track from Elvis' latest movie is a version of a song from the turn of the century about a murder. He does a good job with his vocal, backed by a jazz band. 38. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - Otis Redding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y55qpkmLNfc Apart from the chorus, Otis makes up his own lyrics for this cover which is done in a sort of scatting style, accompanied by bass guitar and horns. Record of the week : 16. You Don't Have To Say You Love Me - Dusty Springfield It has to be this song which has one of the most recognisable choruses from the 60s. Dusty comes up with a powerful and emotive vocal performance. It originated as an Italian song called 'Lo Che Non Vivo (Senza Te)' from 1965 but now has new English lyrics. After five solo top 10 hits, Dusty will finally have her first number 1 single, spending one week at the top of the chart.

Well done both for the 39s. Round 1: 33 Boogie Wonderland, Sophie Ellis-Bextor Round 2: 30 Delicate, Johnny 3 in 10: 3 Bye Bye Baby, Give A Little Love, Sha La La La

I'll pick my lucky number from the BJSC spin-off: 17 For you, Chez: 33

Round 1: 33 The year, My Love Round 2: 30 Breathless, the year, Gallagher & Lyle 3 in 10: 2 Empire State Of Mind, Empire State Of Mind Part 2

This is what I had ready for Nik Kershaw's flop, there were plenty to choose from:

I liked most of Rosalia's songs and she was sometimes top 3 in my vote, this one I wasn't so keen on. A couple of Chappell Roan's songs were good, the rest were not my thing, sorry. Great to see each category still has at least two acts left.

Thanks, Jade and those are some great artists to go and see, John. Round 1: 39 💥 Round 2: 24 Don't Get Me Wrong, Neil Diamond, Cherry Tree, Jumbalaya 3 in 10: 3 Scandal, I'm Going Slightly Mad, Now I'm Here

I have voted. Nik Kershaw's song would have been 'Wide Boy'.

Round 1: 36 Rolling Stones Round 2: 36 That You Love Me (he was too quick, I might have thought of it in time) Tie-break: 2 out of 2 3 in 10: 3 Apache, Don't Cry For Me Argentina, Wonderful Land

I'd forgotten he was still alive. He certainly had a good way of explaining complicated things to people with little knowledge of them. I'm assuming there was a launch countdown clock in front of him for that shot but it's still well timed.

Yes, I can confirm I'll be hosting the number 9 poll next year.

I think Chez is David Bowie.
