Afraid I find Hot to Go really irritating, it’s my least favourite on the album I think.

I’m going to love everything now and these two are no exception, both 10/10 songs for me

Kinda glad I missed this week as that’s a lot of Bee Gees :/ Blondie - Heart Of Glass Chic - Good Times Donna Summer - Hot Stuff Michael Jackson - Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough The Knack - My Sharona

I want to vote for all of the songs that aren't Rabbit Heart!

If I’m not mistaken then I think all of the top 8 made the top 10 of my votes 🖤

Carly Simon - Nobody Does It Better (Don’t think I’ll be able to make it but you can’t miss the best bond theme)

48 points for a DNQ feels very harsh :o Assume SF2 must have been reasonably evenly spread

Two great songs to start the top 10 off there, including one that Rollo introduced most of us to! Wondering how close Frankie Goes to Hollywood can get to having 3 in the top 5

Ooooh quite surprised to qualify this time, but happy to have made it through

This! (Plus Altyr too)

Joining in the love for Breathe and Milk, both are superb and the latter had some decent mixes too. Music for the Jilted Generation did a lot for the Prodigy, it was accepted as being a really credible album that moved beyond just ‘novelty’ rave - I know that Voodoo People and Poison may on the face of it seemed like worse performing songs but, among my age group at least, they were getting alt leaning fans to listen to the album. I wasn’t at all surprised when they came back this big I quite like the Fugees cover too, although obviously the original is better.

I'm not fooled by the rocks that she got, i'm still voting jenny from the block

Moments in Love is my favourite today, although all three are pretty great. I've only really started to get into Art of Noise in the past few years, in particular since their album was re-released for RSD a few years ago, and Moments in Love is probably their best song that I've heard

Lose Yourself is the only one of those I bought - and I suspect it could well be the final one of the decade (excluding downloads). I'm not 100% sure but I think it may have been the final physical single I bought before getting the Robyn ones in 2007 (and OMG at me just realising it has been 17 years since With Every Heartbeat :o )

Grace Jones, what an icon *.* Love the t.A.T.u track, it felt mean only giving it 8 but it was up against tough opposition

This should have been a Fighter vs Kids final 😕

Another one who always reads but doesn’t often comment, I find these really informative. Do you write everything yourself Lewis or is it based on articles elsewhere? If you write it yourself then I think they are very impressive

Glad that the Days of Pearly Spencer made the top 20 here, it's a really distinctive track. I liked all of the Marc Almond tracks, they are definitely the strongest things I've heard from him since the obvious Soft Cell hits.

PPK and Kylie are the only ones I bought from that top 20, although I'm not sure why I didn't buy Sophie as well as I did like that a lot even back then. Out of the rest, I like Riva & Dannii, Feeder, Daniel Bedingfield, Stereophonics (actually one of my favourites of theirs, although it's a low bar) There's a lot of stuff in there that is absolutely woeful though

Voted! Think this may be the quickest I've ever voted in a semi final... Not sure what to expect from SF1 really, agree with Freeze that it was a pretty varied bunch. There's a couple of strong pop songs in there from some countries that I don't always vote for these days Oh and thank you so much for the early apple playlists, that made it so much easier to listen today ^_^

I'm really hoping he hasn't covered the Water Babies, that's one of my favourite christmas songs and I don't want it ruining thank you very much.

I don't mind the intro with the repeated lines and the build up at the beginning but it then just goes wrong when it breaks into the news article and loses all momentum in a really jarring way. It kind of makes it back a bit in the middle, and I do think the production in this part is a step up again, but then just loses it again in the final bit with the Dizzee rap and the Bowie part. It all feels like a cut and paste job (largely because it is!) and it misses that feeling that everyone is actually there in the same place recording something together, probably because that was always most felt in the outro and they've completely redesigned that part.

Best: The Emotions - Best Of My Love Stevie Wonder - I Wish Stevie Wonder - Sir Duke Fleetwood Mac - Dreams Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music

Can I be a pain and change my rank a bit? This rate made me make a new playlist of my faves, which I've been listening to a lot and I think I've got a few things too low and a couple of others too high

Managed to bag Utah Saints new from eBay for £22 - very happy with that as it’s by far the cheapest I’ve seen it so far. Was just looking at the list for Black Friday and it’s pretty awful, nothing I’m even vaguely interested in.
