'What I Want' does appear to have finally gone to ACR, going by today's mids. For the KPop Demon Hunters tracks, it's interesting to note that 'Soda Pop' has climbed to #1 in the Video Streaming chart after entering at #4 the previous week, as it's the only one of the three current hits which are on zero declines, with the others on DCL-2. 'Your Idol' dropped 54-74 on that chart and 'Golden' hasnt appeared there yet. Is it possible that the video streams of 'Soda Pop' only started to count midway through the previous week, meaning Friday's chart (just gone) marked its first full week of them? If so, I wonder whether a similar thing might happen with 'Golden', as this week it could potentially (a) save it from ACR and/or (b) keep it ahead of Olivia?

Subtract spent 2 weeks at #1 and 4 weeks in the Top 5 though.

This round feels very vanilla for me - there's nothing left I dislike as such, but I wouldn't exactly be thrilled to listen to many of them again either. Switching to Five, a curious #9 'flop' for them but it must have had decent sales to get here.

I like all three songs left, and prefer 'Mr Rock And Roll' to 'This Is The Life', but it's still edged by the other two for me.

As I'll now be a bit too busy tomorrow, I've decided it best to postpone the first session for 1981 by a week, so we'll resume the series on Sunday 28 September at 16:00. We still have the small matter of a three-way tie to break from the last 1980 session poll, but I'll give anyone who hasn't already voted 24 hours to do so. If we're still tied at 16:00 tomorrow, I'll run a tiebreaker poll in this thread, with the aim of finding a winner before next Sunday's session!

Oops I forgot to vote and it's ended a three-way tie! Rose Gray would have had my vote if that helps any...

Aside from my top vote winning, happy to see 3 more of my votes at 4th-6th. Sad to see one of my highest votes in She Walks Through Dusk finish last though. I've been away for most of the voting period and all my listenthroughs were on split attention, so perhaps I haven't connected with some of the entries as much as I might have, but I still found plenty I liked. Delighted to be runner-up - I charted 'POLLYANNA' two months ago and the gazey hip hop sound appealed, I guess the vocals are Grimes-like too, but was particularly drawn to the guitar sound, and when this contest opened it felt like the right song at the right time. Since then, the last BJSC confirmations opened and closed before these ones did, so I was a bit concerned what would happen if someone had sent it there in the meantime - I think it could have done quite well there too, but I'm happy to have some Nuggets success instead and improve on my only previous result of 23rd! I've now finished top 4 at least once in all the regular contests around Buzzjack (unless BJSC spin-offs count as I've only finished 7th there, but did come 4th in BJFest so maybe that stands), with this being my fourth 2nd place alongside just the one win (the first Bop Idol) - but I'm very pleased with the song that pipped me on the final vote here and after a few listens it was a standout for me, well done uhsting on your first Nuggets win! Thanks again Addy for hosting and managing the logistics and laptop charger issues! The final reveal yesterday came just as I was waiting to be directed to drive off a ferry it certainly made for an intense quarter of an hour or so!!

Congrats uhsting my 12 deserved the win! Will write more later but thanks Addy for hosting!

Oh my gosh I've got a Nuggets medal! I may not be able to post again soon for about an hour, but delighted with this result regardless!
