The last bunch of qualifiers for the last four places.

Voting's now closed in batches 6 and 7, and the following go through (deep breath): Utah Saints, New Order, ABC (beating Kylie! by one vote!), Xtina, Outkast, MIA (beating Stardust in a brutally tight group), Daft Punk (overhauling Missy) and Little Red Corvette.


[Poll #914418]


Next week - the actual tournament kicks off, with the top seed in action.

Gamma: Pretty easy, 'Nothing Compares 2 U' is towering.
Delta: 'Go West' not one of my favourite PSB though I do like it; 'I Touch Myself' is fabulous
Epsilon: Best of the groups, but still easy because 'Got Your Money' is such a standard. Realised a few months ago that GYM is the song which links every sort of party together these days - I've heard it at hip-hop nights, Poptimism, dropped as a token hip-hop track in house sets, and I can imagine it's also token hip-hop in indie nights. And it ALWAYS gets EVERYONE dancing.
Omega: Hang on did we miss out some letters? Er 'Push It' is untouchable, basically.

Looking at the spreadsheet all four of these groups lead into ridiculously harsh draws, I think S'n'P is the only song here which stands the remotest chance of surviving.

Though I may be wrong.

I have never heard the ABC song in question but I'm actually v happy about the SHOCK! FIRST! ROUND! UPSET! of K Minogue.
