Still can't get over Your Woman reaching #1. Weird lo-fi pop is my absolute jam and it's cool that the UK public agreed for one week in 1997. Props to my British brethren.

I understand time zones perfectly, on the 98-99 round, you still voted 4 times in 72 hours, which is one time too many, regardless of your time zone.

00 Adamski – Killed It  -2

Back when I said we were down to 6 songs (still voting on 16) I certainly counted Adamski among them. I had no idea that my act of insubordination to (what was then) the front-running song would lead to this outcome.  I’m delighted, but it’s a stunner.

Latest eliminations against my list :

 

9/ All That She Want - my #19

8/ Gangsta's Paradise - my #9

7/ Killer - my #17

6/ Killing Me Softly - my #14

 

Two of my top five left, you can probably tell which by my last vote

Actually you can conceivably vote four times in 48:02 (presuming 1 minute to vote).  I saw someone who voted 3 times in 35 hours last round and I checked and they were fine.  I don’t think 72 hours would have even been noticed tbh.

Agreed, which is why I did the maths...

Posted at 14.53 yesterday, then 9 hours ago, then 1 hour ago. 14.53 would be 21.53 in Indonesia. 9 hours ago would be around 17.35 in Indonesia. 1 hour ago would be around 00.30 in Indonesia. If my maths are right, they voted late on 23/4, then late afternoon 24/4 and have now voted just after midnight on 25/4.

 

So they might be in the clear. Just need to check the vote before 14.53...

 

...previous vote was 19.09 on Saturday, so that would be...2.09 on Sunday I think? So I think we do have too many votes don't we? Sunday would be 23/4, so there were 2 votes then.
