Indeed, three of the seven songs that have led the field are credited in whole or in part to men.

Two points between the top three
Ten points between the top five
Then a 13-point gap
Then a 25-point gap before the bunching starts!
#THETENX5
All of the top five have led at some point.
Only two other songs have:
- the one now in 7th
- the one now in 12th, which has most 12s

SPECIAL GUEST ANNOUNCEMENT
FKA TWIGS wishes to remind you that the
DEADLINE FOR LISTS is
*** TWO WEEKS ***
from today!
#THETENX5
If anyone else spots one of these omissions, please let me know.
Yesterday a new list prompted me to note that one of my own bonuses was missing, having been picked nearly a month ago!
It can happen, however much work goes into this.

Three players have become the first to 'pass' the POPPY CLAUSE today.
(unless they have a brain fart, submit 45 extra HMs and give 31 of them to pre-1995 artists)
#THETENX5 etc
Hi.
It's just about feasible for Parts IV and V to be run entirely via the mu21cvs.com website and email.
Just so you know in advance :)
#TheTenx5
I'll just add to this that the song with most 12s is not even in the top 10 as it stands.
The only precedents for this are:
#ALL50RTS - Thunder Road joint most (3), finished 44th
#FearofMu21C - B.O.B. and Come On Let's Go joint most (3), finished 13th and 82nd
Other #TheTenx5 admin that hasn't been mentioned for a while:
- NEIL KULKARNI CLAUSE
Only two players can still fail on 50/55, but I have a few others on 'amber' in case they send lots of non-compliant extra HMs.
- POPPY CLAUSE
From tomorrow, people can 'pass' (with 0% after Day 35).

Appropriately, this message has been added to the MIDNIGHTS page and will stay there for the rest of picking season.
Meanwhile, if anyone is still considering a list (and I have seen talk), please send sooner rather than later.
Cheers.

Can I politely remind our US players that Britain does not observe "dalylight saving time" for another 3 weeks, so it's not midnight here yet.
This is going to apply to the rest of the challenge: you;re now 4 hours behind on the east and 7 hours on the west, NOT 5 and 8.
Thanks.

Not doing 5-day updates this month, because HMs made it a bit messy...
But a top end update: ONE point between the top three, and five points between the top four.
The 240-song cut-off has reached 30 points.
Part I: 65 points Top 138.
Previous lowest cut-off for 250 songs: 40 points.

Hashtag search has been playing up for a few days, so I recommend finding the feed and using that (if you don’t already).

Which is esp interesting to me as a listener to a *very* British music nostalgia podcast, which:
a) marks Live Aid as the rough cut-off point for the decline of the UK chart
but
b) universally embraces just about everything new coming out of Black America at about the same time
There's a whole other thread (presumably also mainly middle-aged Brits) commenting on how the post-house/post-Live Aid 80s is barely represented at all.
I think that's the next biggest shock to us, after the absence of obvious global icon Madonna, as per the OP.
*when it's extremely white* (as I think I said?)
I feel bad about my 'YAIA' comment now, this is incredibly depressing.
(should have been a CW for #33 imo, am just dumbfounded)
#THETENX5
Wouldn't normally say, but it's been the case for a while now:
There are only nine points between the top five songs.
Whether their totals are on course to rival the leaders from Part I (on lower voting numbers), we will have to see...

Day 2
"Pneuma" by Tool (2020 single; on 2019 album; I assume ineligible for '10s)
NKC-NC
ISC—NC
Saw this get picked during #ALL50RTS, so putting out the Toolsignal. Anyway, talk about somnolescence (complimentary). Music as an out-of-body experience. Daow-naow-naow, DAOW-NAOW-NAOW
As has been said by many, that song meant *nothing* in the UK until The Sopranos at the earliest, and more likely Glee.
Our charts are never more different than in the pre-Thriller 80s, and let's just say I much prefer the UK's :)
YAIA in extremis.
(I'll leave you all to count the number of Black artists that aren't alleged paedos or accompanied by a white guy)
We had brainworms in the 10s, on many levels.
(never ever look at the 2014 list)

Scroll down to 2027 and REVEAL OF PART V
- See the plans for gradual day-by-day reveal over 27-31 December, rather than a massive info-dump on New Year's Day.

For those looking ahead, two important edits made to the website recently:
1. GET LUCKY - QUALIFICATION FOR PART V
SECTION 1 - SONGS
- Stage 4, Final Qualification, last two bullet points
(do also read SECTION 2 - PLAYERS re your requirement)

"Interestingly" there is a tenuous car connection, as La Harding was saved for 'The Jamie Oliver Petrol Station' in Part I.

She's only going to do it once per challenge in Mu21cVS, and here it is...
