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

Another Chance and Pure Shores would me my favourites from 1 to 6 and that's a very good top 10 overall. This is my top 10 from the decade: 1. You Will Make It - Jem 2. Sao Paulo - Guillemots 3.

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

17 votes received. The other 15 entrants (plus any guests) have four days and four hours left to vote.

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.

Yes, he was deliberately giving wrong answers although it wasn't until the last few that I realised. They got more ridiculous as he went on. Well done Jade on today's 39, I got the same scores as you and the same two Johnny Mathis songs. Round 1: 33 I Don't Know Much, the year Round 2: 39 💥 3 in 10: 2 When A Child Is Born, Too Much Too Little Too Late

The Art Of Noise - Close (To The Edit) David Bowie And The Pat Metheny Group - This Is Not America Killing Joke - Love Like Blood The Smiths - How Soon Is Now? Don Henley - The Boys Of Summer

Hoppipolla is fantastic. I wanted to enter Ara Batur by Sigur Ros in the One Hit Wonder themed Bop Idol contest but saw that it had already been sent to BJSC 10 by Jester's Kingdom. Loneliness is also a great choice.

Thanks for doing this countdown, Jim. I think my order would be something like this: 1 Queen - Innuendo 2 Enigma - Sadeness Part I 3 The KLF feat. The Children Of The Revolution - 3AM Eternal 4 Queen - These Are The Days Of Our Lives 5 Chesney Hawkes - The One And Only 6 Michael Jackson - Black Or White 7 The Clash - Should I Stay Or Should I Go 8 Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You 9 U2 - The Fly 10 George Michael and Elton John - Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me 11 Iron Maiden - Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter 12 Vic Reeves and The Wonder Stuff - Dizzy 13 Jason Donovan - Any Dream Will Do 14 Cher - The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss) 15 Color Me Badd - I Wanna Sex You Up 16 Hale And Pace and The Stonkers - The Stonk / Victoria Wood - The Smile Song 17 The Simpsons - Do The Bartman

10 votes received so far, I've put the list of voters back on the opening post. There is one week left to vote.

1st Ultravox - The Voice another solid choice of song 2nd New Order - Age of Consent opening track from their best album, good song 3rd Texas - I Don't Want a Lover my favourite song by them and the only one I really like 4th Depeche Mode - Ghosts Again brave to choose a recent song when they have so many hits from the 80s/90s but it's a good one 5th Sade - Your Love Is King my favourite from this group as well from the ones I know 6th Vengaboys - 1999 (I Wanna Go Back) 7th M83 - Kim & Jessie 8th iamamiwhoami - chasing kites 9th Fontaines D.C. - Jackie Down the Line 10th Bananarama - Look on the Floor (Hypnotic Tango) 11th Years & Years - All For You

Thanks, and well done John for another double 39. Round 1: 36 Detroit Spinners Round 2: 39 💥 Tie-break: 2 out of 2 3 in 10: 1 Jenny From The Block

I like the use of the brass band and choir on You're A Lady. That would be my top song from that batch. Mouldy Old Dough is a fun and unusual number 1 single while Children Of The Revolution and John, I'm Only Dancing are both good songs.

This would be my top 10 from the decade, I've saved Yes for now as their best song is from the 90s. No 'Born Slippy' as there's a better song from Underworld in another decade. 1. Endless Dream - Yes 2. One Night Stand (The Long Night And The Samba) - The Aloof 3. Lonely Soul - Unkle 4. No Connection (Demo Version) - Sophie B Hawkins 5. Unfinished Sympathy - Massive Attack 6. November Rain - Guns'n'Roses 7. Paranoid Android - Radiohead 8. Salva Mea (album version) - Faithless 9. Hey Boy Hey Girl - The Chemical Brothers 10. Vigil - Fish
