Guetta zooms up to the top spot, making at least 5 Guetta-related tracks in the top 100 now.

[Poll #1575750]

Eurovision WINNERS: Quirky German Lena makes it to #30, French bum-wiggling at #81, boring Belgian guitar dude is at #85, Norwegian half-time entertainment Madcon get a re-entry of Beggin' as well as their flashmob epic from the night itself.

Eurovision LOSERS: Josh doesn't make the top 100 as 40% of you predicted, neither does Greece's 'Opa' to which the fickle UK gave douze points then promptly forgot about.

PROG WIN: Hocus Pocus by Focus is at #57 in time for dubdobdee's birthday!

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE REAL WINNER: It's the final of the Pop World Cup! Nigeria take on Germany for the ultimate pop prize. Listen and vote for your favourite!

Have warmed to "Wavin' Flag" a lot since last week. Possibly just though having heard it a lot.

"Can't Be Tamed" - you find yourself picking up on the little things and in this case the result is a dislike of the metallic noise that follows the title line. No tick.

"Airplanes" - It's quite a nice image, really, wishing on aeroplanes as if they were shooting stars. Songs which are about how terrible fame is always come off as slightly sour to me, but for some reason not giving it the tick seems like nitpicking.

"Turn it Up" - doesn't really give me anything to like.

"Satellite" - went for it on the night, still don't dislike it.

Note in passing - "World in Motion" has climbed to #46.
