5. Razzle Dazzle (86 points) Placebo – Post Blue
One of my better finishes, glad you all liked the Placebo song Post Blue from 2006 album Meds, it passed me by when it was released but in recent years it’s become a personal favourite and thanks to Big Dan for the 15 points

4. Manickangaroo (94 points) Oasis – Rock 'N 'Roll Star
A good bounce back after a disappointing round 9 score, surprisingly nobody ranked it as their favourite song but it still comfortably claimed a top 5 spot which bodes well for Oasis other entry, which I'm guessing is everyone pick for the one that did better?

10. Earl Purple (55 points) Pink Floyd - Shine on You Crazy DiamondAnother poor round for Earl Purple in the end, a brave choice entering a nearly 15 minute song but you either love Pink Floyd or you find they they are hard to get into I'm surprised the 10 minute 40 seconds radio edit version was not used (which can be found on their 1981 A Collection Of Great Dance Songs compilation) which was sent to radio stations as a promo single in 1975, to help promote the album Wish You Were Here. But maybe, that album's 5 min 20 second title track should have been used instead, .... but after Ed Sheeran euthanasia attempt on the song I can understand giving it a wide birth.

3. Shireblogger (105 points) Queen – 39
It was a Queen song I was unfamiliar with but instantly liked it, quite a few people including me had it in their top 3 and Milliways had it as his favourite but surprised it did this well! and it keeps Shirebloggers top 3 chances alive, he has averaged 100 points a round in the last 4 rounds

One of the best Sci-Fi songs ever written.

2. Raliverpool (111 points) Oasis - Champagne Supernova
From my notes Roo, Darkstar, Manic, Thorney and Hupin loved Champagne Supernova, great little Oasis song isn’t it? Probably had the advantage with the extra exposure with it having a video but there’s no doubting it is one of the best songs in this round, second only to what some would say is the greatest song ever, Raliverpool has average 98.6 points a round and only once dipped under 84 points, despite only winning 1 round out of 10 it is his consistency that is really impressive

1. Andy (131 points) Led Zeppelin – Stairway to heaven
Well it didn’t run away with it in the end but a comfortable win for Andy, making this the 3rd round he has won! Top points from Me, Smokeyb, Earl Purple, Raliverpool and Whitneyfan helped it to victory, we have had a few shock winners but I think the top 2 went to form here

The big question is what does this do to the overall scores? Well Manic moves up 2 places after a very good round, Raliverpool finally catches Earl Purple at the top but the top 3 is really close now with only 45 points separating them

So, I'm pleased it did so well.

7. Greendemon (73 points) Travis - The Humpty Dumpty Love Song
Another personal favourite from Jade. I thought this one might struggle but Andy gave it maximum points and a few other people ranked it in their top 5, enough to claim 7th place overall I actually prefer Flashing blue lights of their two hidden tracks I know. Also pleasantly surprised to like the Cold song.

That overall Top 3 is getting close, and someone else could get in with a couple of good rounds. Of the 5 rounds left I think I'll do okay in 3, but some rounds, like the next one are too close/hard to call.

12. Big Dan (48 points) Garbage - We Never Tell
Looks like Big Dan went for a personal favourite song but in doing so slips from 1st place in the previous round to 12th here. 48 points is a decent total though, usually good enough for 9th or 10th Yes, it's my favourite song from their latest album, and I don't regret going for it. I kind of knew this would happen though.

Queen did better than I had expected in this round. I feared it was too much of an acquired taste to score well. I'm a little surprised that no-one has picked Oasis for Haven Factor yet. Given the speed at which the big names are being swept up, they have to be one of the favourites to win round 4. A big thank you to Milliways for introducing me to the Distillers. I'll be searching out more of their stuff in the coming weeks.
