Missy Elliott gets the highest turnout of the decade so far, with a whopping 49 votes to win heat #3. Daft Punk, S Club 7 and Mary J Blige are safely through, but Alicia and DanBed tie for fifth - see below for the run-off.

Today's poll sees double J-Lo remix action, microgoth, mashups, possible incest and the Jackson Five (sort of). It's heat #4, everybody!

Sensitive thugs, y'all need hugs

'Heart Of The City' makes me SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY. Definitely in my top 5 Jay-Z tracks ever.

"What's all the fuckin' fussin' for? Because I'm grubbin' more
And I pack heat like I'm the oven door"



Take 'em to church!!!!

Yeah, I wound up ticking both Jay-Z songs ("Izzo" was probably my tenth choice), but I've always liked "Heart Of The City" way way way more. Kind of stumped about why "Izzo" has twice as many ticks at this point -- just because it was a bigger hit??

'Heart Of The City' wasn't even a single whereas 'Izzo' is one of Jay's signature songs - but I totally agree about 'Heart Of The City' being way better, I love 'Izzo' but HOTC is one of the high points of all pop music ever, it's glorious and I wish it were getting more ticks.

Maybe it's because not everyone owns The Blueprint? To which all I have to say, really, is, GET THE BLUEPRINT it is one of the best albums ever.

Hey I didn't realize what song this is. Brilliant. I just unticked Shaggy and ticked this.
