Feel a bit gutted for anyone picking Christine McVie here. Completely unexpected.

Canada 0-1 Morocco Croatia 1-2 Belgium Costa Rica 0-1 Germany Japan 0 - 1 Spain 13 Yellow cards

Should we take this time to acknowledge that one of the weeks Rod topped the charts should have belonged to The Sex Pistols with God Save The Queen.....

Wow we are really in need of a major death right now

Yes the best Classical recording was awarded at the main ceremony so will count for this game

Just been through and done a reminder of the less familiar ones. No real surprises but some of them feel as though they have been left over from the earlier part of the decade and some are bland beyond belief but the obvious duds are slowly being removed then it gets more competitive

Consistency there was a similar issue with Latin Grammys

Apologies for this late ruling but I only became aware of the Classical Brits when doing verification on an already submitted entry. My concern was that we would not be comparing apples with apples.

I have just edited the main page to clarify that Classical Brits awards are not included in this game - Popular music only and no non-competitive categories I hope that doesn't send you scurrying back to the drawing board I wonder if I can get Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox to host the awards.......

Maybe they are trying to get on the New Years Honours list but we all know which list they will end up on...

I can see this coming down to a tussle over which ABBA track(s) should progress

Ecuador 2-2 Senegal Netherlands 4-0 Qatar Iran 1-1 USA Wales 2-4 England  Rangers 3-1 Broomhill

Like many of the novelty hits that were big in the 70s it managed to breakout of the usual singles buying demographic into the Mums & Grannies buying it

0 Wings – Mull of Kintyre / Girls' School -6 For one of the biggest selling singles of all time this had fared very badly

"The Production on that album is amazing"

My entry has been sent to @YoungWillz for safe keeping in case any of those subs are needed to be called in Four lists in so far and will begin the process of verifying the picks Do make sure you include a sub in each category. One entry has not so far.
