Very happy (and surprised!) with 2nd ~ my top points went to Back To Black, and I had it in my predicata to win as well.

Updated Table
Another strong finish by Shireblogger increases his lead to 19 points from Whitneyfan who moves into 2nd spot after this win. A poor finish from The Thorne sees him drop to 3rd place. Most of the players in the bottom half had a good result this time.

I'm very pleased to win with 'Back to Black'. I think it is an absolute classic.

Back to Black deserved win - well done Whitneyfan! Would have been happy with that or Sugababes, so very pleased they were both in the Top 2.

Sorry for the earlier start and rushing through the results but I'm a little pressed for time. I will try and get 2008 songs up before I go. Thanks for everyone who made it here early. Quite a change in the spread of the votes this time, good to see the folk nearer the bottom getting a better finish at last.
2008 songs are up

Thank you for the countdown smokeyb! 2008 is going to be interesting - lots of excellent songs were released that year, and was the year I had the most trouble whittling down.

Good to see Pop outgoing indie/rock for a change. I guess this highlights Haveners are voting for the track and not the genre.

Thanks smokeyb for persevering through your IT trouble! And well done Whitneyfan - this might be the lowest I've ranked a winner so far but it was an exceptionally strong round. I can't say 'Back To Black' has ever done much for me beyond my recognising it as a perfectly decent song. My crystal ball appears to have malfunctioned this round so I might be in trouble in predicta! I really had no idea BTB was so well-liked - I thought it would be between 'Valerie' and 'How To Save A Life' which I thought was just the right amount of pop/indie mix to appeal to a crowd that has given Keane two wins. And I really didn't think the excellent 'Daddy's Gone' would end up bottom I feel slightly guilty as I know TheThorne had Biffy as his first choice but it wouldn't have got him many more points in the end! Thanks to those who gave Biffy big points - I am a huge fan and initially hoped I might squeeze a top 5 out of what is one of their best-regarded songs but as soon as I saw the list I knew there was no chance of that I might have to put my plans to enter them in Haven Factor on ice 1st 25 The Fray - How To Save A Life 2nd 20 Bloc Party - Flux 3rd 17 Modest Mouse - Dashboard 4th 14 Glasvegas – Daddy's Gone 5th 13 Maximo Park - Our Velocity 6th 12 Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love 7th 11 Mark Ronson feat. Amy Winehouse - Valerie 8th 10 Dragonette - I Get Around 9th 9 Fountains of Wayne - Someone To Love 10th 8 Calvin Harris - Acceptable In The 80s 11th 7 Mika - Grace Kelly 12th 6 Sugababes - About You Now 13th 5 Richard Hawley – Tonight the Streets Are Ours 14th 4 Amy Winehouse - Back To Black 15th 3 The Hoosiers - Worried About Ray 16th 2 Hours – Back When You Were Good

Oh!
After Apply Some Pressure only got to 9th in its round I kind of gave up on doing well this round - so to do better is amazing!
Completely bombed on the predicta - took Glasvegas out of my bottom 3, put Leona instead of Mark Ronson for top 3, but will at least get points for BTB.
My votes:
1st - Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love 2nd - Biffy Clyro - Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies 3rd - Sugababes - About You Now 4th - The Fray - How To Save A Life 5th - Amy Winehouse - Back To Black 6th - Bloc Party - Flux 7th - Mark Ronson feat. Amy Winehouse - Valerie 8th - Calvin Harris - Acceptable In The 80s 9th - Fountains of Wayne - Someone To Love 10th - Hours – Back When You Were Good 11th - Mika - Grace Kelly 12th - Richard Hawley – Tonight the Streets Are Ours 13th - Modest Mouse - Dashboard 14th - Dragonette - I Get Around 15th - The Hoosiers - Worried About Ray 16th - Glasvegas – Daddy's Gone
None of the songs were actually bad - no way would Glasvegas have been last in any other round. Very very nearly put Biffy first, but Bleeding Love is just that good - in a just world Leona would still get hits outside of Christmas time.
