16 Animals
14 Pulp
12 Van Morrison
10 The Wonder Stuff
8 Led Zeppelin
6 Manic Street Preachers ft/ Nina Persson
4 David Bowie
2 The Cure
1 Arcade Fire

James are back scoring big points, this is their 5th time they have been in someone's top 3 but like Manics and Bowie just when they look like challenging for the top score poorely, at the bottom a big 18 points for Depeche Mode closes the gap on their rivals. REM are upto 3rd! and have scored points from everyone but with 1 set of votes to go that isn't enough with Pulp 29 points ahead with only 25 to play we have a champion of champions

25  Manic Street Preachers ft Nina Persson - Your Love Alone Is Not Enough
20 Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus
18  Pulp - Common People
16 Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl

Pulp were uncatchable going into the last set of votes, James held onto 2nd and Manics moved ahead of REM into third but only REM scored points from everyone and finished a solid 4th place considering it was the only round I "forced" people to use a specific artist and Bowie comes in 5th after a bad start

At the bottom The Wonderstuff go from what looked like mid table safety to finish bottom with Depeche Mode scoring massive points the last 2 rounds to finish a point ahead of The Wonderstuff
