20 EUGENE "Livin' In Your Love" [183 points, 6 votes, 2 first place votes]
http://youtu.be/4qugXy4wWMk

:]

^1st track with 2 first place votes.

these images are seriously amazing!

what a cool instrumental hook on this track.

I think it was the "guitar" "solo" at the end that really pushed this to #1 for me

Coming up, another of my favorites: a full blown epic monster of a pop song. Also, the second German entry of the list so far (unless I'm missing something)…

Fancy is also German.

OK, third then… :)

19 SANDRA "(I'll Never Be) Maria Magdalena" [187 points, 6 votes]
http://youtu.be/l1DIV8V_zwQ

yessss

My #4...love the nonsensical drama of it all. Actually my #1 is even more nonsensical and dramatic than this one...

20 EUGENE "Livin' In Your Love" [183 points, 6 votes, 2 first place votes]

TOO LOW

(tbh I was starting to worry it might not show up)

Maria Magdalena is unbelievable. The call and response in the chorus is so good.

Didn't vote for Eugene or Sandra but very happy to see them place. 20 songs just really wasn't enough.

This is one of the few polls where I have absolutely no idea of what's in with a chance of winning.

Guessing maybe Pineapples or Baltimora?

Aw man, Baltimora is fun and all but I will be really pissed off if it wins.

I can understand why people wouldn't vote for "Tarzan Boy," but otoh I can't understand why people wouldn't vote for "Tarzan Boy"

Is Spacer Woman in with a shot? Would love to see it do well.

are we going down to #11 today? or #16?

Maria Magdalena is good but the chorus is a liiiiittle close to Self Control.

I never really got into Sandra that much, post Arabesque, but should probably revisit her.

Some sort of structurally fundamental atomic laws would have to break for Spacer Woman not to show up in our top 50. xxp

i put 'tarzan boy' on my ballot (couldn't not) but it's on the lower end

It's gonna be up to 16 today. Top 15 tomorrow.

18 KLEIN & MBO "Dirty Talk" [189 points, 6 votes]
http://youtu.be/79Qb1tsoYZg

…unless, gr8080, you wanna take over in about an hour?

Arghhh, it's so frustrating not being able to participate in the speculation!

sure, i could take us through #'s 15-11

what do you guys think?

yeah, go ahead!

Can I throw a hint of what's yet to come? It's kind of cryptic and doesn't spoil a lot.

Great, thanks, gr8080! Just really busy today as well.

that's a smooth-sounding track.

I'll post two more and then you can take over.

Actually, I better not say anything. People would figure it out.

I like how a track called "Dirty Talk" has no talking in it.

gr8080, I'll send you the rest of the entries in ready-to-post format in a bit.

Down to #18 and no Kano yet :(

fantastic, thanks xp

sent!

did not know that charlie was maurice cavalieri and giorgio stefani, who were basically i.m.s. and half of firefly.

Down to #18 and no Kano yet :(

Think he will suffer from split voting. That first album is brilliant but it was very hard to pick just one song from the ones nominated.

I can understand why people wouldn't vote for "Tarzan Boy," but otoh I can't understand why people wouldn't vote for "Tarzan Boy"

I don't get this, crüt. What do you mean?
