Congratulations to tUnE-yArDs' "Water Fountain" for being the third song to join our AMF Hall of Fame! We'll see next week if two more songs will join it among the ranks.

Thank you all for voting and nominating continuously every week! Though it was a bit late this week, the new topic will be made at 19:00GMT next week, as per usual.

Best of voting!

Great job, Setherex! I'll nominate "Raw Exit" by Poliça.

Yeah, great job Setherex!

I just wonder if the number one spot last week should be regarded as a four-way tie. We haven't used the number of weeks on the chart rule for that in the past.

Setherex, here's a (so far) unplayable Spotify link to "Weight of Love", if you want to add it.

The Black Keys – Weight of Love

I'd like to nominate Amen Dune - "Love" please.

A very good point. I'll adjust the chart to account for that when I see a bit of free time.

My first nomination this week is Blaudzun - Too Many Hopes For July.

First I didn't think I would nominate this, but I kept coming back to it, and now I love it!

Röyksopp & Robyn - Do It Again

While they created something new in "Monument", "Do It Again" is a typical Robyn hit. And if you want to hear a more typical Röyksopp song, listen to "Every Little Thing" which is great as well. All songs from their new mini-album.

A nomination for Eels 'Mistakes Of My Youth'.

I'd like to nominate "Hunger of the Pine" by Alt-J and "Can't Do Without You" by Caribou.

How about Mirah's "Oxen Hope"

Amazing job, Setherex!

Michael Jackson - A Place With No Name
Sia - Chandelier

Happy Birthday, Setherex!

Happy birthday.

I'll nominate White Lung - Face Down.

Sorry to say that "Chandelier" has already been nominated and eliminated from the competition :/ But! I'll see to it that your other nomination makes it through. Most likely.

And thanks for the birthday wishes! And general positive sentiments. You guys don't have to get me anything. Unless, of course, Henrik has a site update hidden in his pocket...

You can give it to me later, though

Ahh, sorry about that, Setherex!
Thanks!
