Spotify playlist and youtube videos for missing songs

I nominated in the 4th week thread, but realise it wasn't the right week just then!

Villagers - Occupy Your Mind
(and if possible) Little Dragon - Klapp Klapp

I nominate St. Vincent - Psychopath

Lykke Li-I Never Learn literally dropped just now with a video.

This is actually my introduction to her. She's not bad.

It's worth a nomination.

Don't forget to vote, people!

I don't like any song in the list. How is the selection made ?
Can we submit new songs to the list ? Should they be "singles" or simply "songs" ?
If it's possible, I would like to see some Temples' songs, Ed Harcourt's songs or the great new song from The Horrors, "I see you".

Sorry you don't like anything, dumbangel...


From the main AMF chart thread:

Henrik wrote:Current rules:

It is a weekly chart of 20 songs, where each voter can vote for up to 5 songs.

The top 10 songs (based on the results) will move on to the next week, together with 10 new songs.

For ties at 10th place, songs with fewer weeks on the chart has priority. If there is still a tie, more than 10 songs will advance to the next week's chart.

The new songs are selected in the following order:
1. The most mentioned/acclaimed song from new albums in the Mega-Critic Chart
2. Nominations in the current voting thread, selected in the following order:
2a. The number of nominations of a song
2b. Nomination rank (if someone nominates more than one song)
2c. The time of the nomination

Nominated songs should be less than 6 months old and not have been discovered by many until very recently.

So please let us know which song is your first choice.

Is Silver Timothy, the favourite in this game so far, about to get the unceremonious boot?

While there's no reason not to nominate multiple songs from one album, are votes splitting for some of these artists?

Just thinking out loud.
