Amazed Manic Monday is still here. Walk like an Egyptian was great, but this? It's harmless enough, but hardly a classic.

It’s a testament to Prince, who wrote the song, that he had two of the top 7 songs.

Have you considered maybe giving points to your favourite and taking away from your least favourite rather than messing around with numbers for the sake of it?

Gotta be honest, I'm stunned that Manic Monday made it this far. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but in amongst all these greats that made the final it's not in the top half, leave alone top sixth.
