The 10 highest charting songs went on to this week. It seems we've hit a drought on the chart in a couple of ways. This is the only week I can remember where more than one song got zero votes. Though it has also been a drought in weeks since a song has reached the 10 week Hall of Fame. It seems we finally have a contender...

Here is this week's 18-song Spotify chart (with two remaining songs in YouTube links):

Here is your 2014 AMF Chart playlist of all songs on the chart so far:


Thank you all for voting and nominating continuously every week! Don't forget to nominate your new songs, as well as support others' nominations if you see fit! Because of my... lateness.. the new topic and final voting count will be taken at 19:00GMT next Sunday (or as close to said time as I can get)! Maybe Sunday will be easier on my schedule, haha.

Best of voting!

As they say Setherex...'Better late than NEVER'. Lovin' this forum. Great job. I'd like to start the nominations this week with Jenny Lewis' 'Just One Of The Guys'.

I was starting to worry; gonna ask around, "Hey, anybody seen Setherex?" But I'm just a little OCD...

I will second the nomination for "Just One of the Guys" and nominate Tiny Ruins "Me at the Museum, You in the Wintergardens", both videos up right now at NPR (although I've been plugging Tiny Ruins for awhile so I feel virtuous at staying ahead of the curve)

I'll try not to fall off the map too long next week

Fun thing, Jon Allen's "Night & Day" finally showed up on Spotify! Yay for less Youtube links.

I'll second Tiny Ruins "Me at the Museum, You in the Wintergardens". I know someone who works at the Museum, it's only a short walk from the Wintergardens with a large lawn in between. I love that line "Nobody feels old at the Museum and nobody feels cold in the Wintergarden" - so true.

Nominations:
Interpol - All The Rage Back Home
Erlend Øye - Garota

Nomination: "Can't Do Without You" by Caribou

What a send off you're all giving Lana Del Rey

Just a final bump before I run away for Saturday, in the calm before the update storm. Bring out your final votes and nominations before the new poll on Sunday!

I'll second "Interpol - All The Rage Back Home".

I have one.

Lana Del Rey - Shades of Cool

If it hasn't already been nominated how about War On Drug's - 'Suffering'?
