Indiana's already had two songs chart this year hasn't she? Not sure what the rules are with this nonsense but I look forward to being blown away again like I was by Ella Eyre, Sampha and Sam Smith this year :unsure:

(still lmao @ the fact they made the top 5 and fka twigs, royal blood and chance the rapper didn't)

[Black Dagger]

Oh has she. I thought it was like a top 10 album or something daft, because Ella and Sam both had #1 singles and managed to be 1st and 2nd respectably.

I usually end up proper loving somebody on the long list though. The Naked and Famous the other year, then Say Lou Lou last year.

[Shaun]

oh yeah, forgot Sam was #1 with Naughty Boy (and Ella with Rudimental about 5 times)

but yeah Solo Dancing made the top 15 I think (I have it on my TiBB Song of 2014 list anyway), and Heart on Fire made the top 40 too

[Jords]

Im looking forward to the longlist!

[Loukas]

I'm hoping Young Kato have made the cut :fc:

[King Gizzard]

has it really been a year since last time

probably be james bay that wins it. my sister is obsessed with him

[Black Dagger]

I'm hoping Young Kato have made the cut :fc:

omfg yes I love them.

[Loukas]

So good. Alas they didn't feature :sad:

[King Gizzard]

can i put money on this

[King Gizzard]

years and years are also getting *****d out quite alot on BBC

I quite liked Slaves on Jools t'other week T6oFBFcX8eM

[Black Dagger]

So after listening to 30 seconds of all those who have stuff up on their respective pages.

Kwabs, James Bay and Rae Morris and Shura (yass you stanning for the gay community tbh) are the ones I'm interested in. Liked James Bay for a couple of months tho. I knew R1 started overplaying Hold Back The River he'd be in the list.

[King Gizzard]

****, didn't see stormzy, be an amazing winner

[Jords]

Ill listen in a bit :amazed:

[Loukas]

I've just listened to 1,2,1,2 by George The Poet and i'm currently listening to Rae Morris - Closer.. So far i like them both

[Loukas]

OMG. Yasssssss Shamir :love: :love: :love:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

shura :flutter:

[Black Dagger]

OMG. Yasssssss Shamir :love: :love: :love:

Oh I just went on his actual youtube because his page didn't link to anything directly.

First impressions I'm stanning for Lapsley, Raury, Stormzy and Wolf Alice.

[Shaun]

Oh I've had that Kwabs song bothering me every day on FIFA, do like it though.

of those songs I like James Bay's, Shura's, Lapsley's, Rae's (I do love a good perm) and Kwabs' the most.

some of these acts' names are really really crap though, i mean imagine having to say "oh yeah i'm going to see lapsley tonight". silly bitch.

Shamir seems fun. SOAK do not.

and that Wolf Alice song is basically this but less amazing

[Shaun]

Oh they've already announced 3 placings...

5th - George the Poet: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/229DTVzPlwsFVNrtYb6ZHHs/5-george-the-poet
4th - Raury: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/HwlpFCkJc0R9mtgSlLtZXC/4-raury
3rd - Stormzy: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/1GKz45wNxWRkFSBTWTntxCk/3-stormzy

:umm2:

[Black Dagger]

Well this is tragic. Poor Shamir will get ignored now because it will be two of rae, years x2 and James with him winning

[Shaun]

James Bay is second :think: I think Years & Years've got this then... if Rae does, how boring.

[Shaun]

aaaaaand Years & Years are #1
