Big things! Congratulations to Sufjan Stevens' "Fourth of July" and Alabama Shakes' "Gimme All Your Love" for both making it into our Hall of Fame! The former seemed to be a shoo-in from the first week, but the latter I have to say I'm a bit surprised about. Better songs have come and gone. Both very worthy entries, however. Due to both songs' automatic retirement from the chart, the top 10 songs otherwise went through to this week's chart.

Here is your 2015 AMF Chart playlist of all songs on the chart so far this year:


Thank you all for voting and nominating continuously every week! Please don't be afraid to supply us with nominations - all songs six months old and younger (or who have received promotion via album/video/single in the last six months) are accepted! And seconding nominations by others' gives those songs a better chance at making the next poll!

As per usual, the next poll will be created as close to Sunday at 19:00 UTC as I can make it. Best of voting!

edit: derppp wrong thread.

Have been listening Sparks - Late for the Party - Should Have Known Better (in that order!) in loop since last week. These are such a powerful combo.

Anyway, this week I choose:
Youth Lagoon - The Knower
Eagle of Death Metal - Complexity

I'll nominate "Honeymoon" by Lana Del Ray.

Miguel - 'What's Normal Anyway' (a timeless classic in the making - relevancy for us all)

Yes, yes, yes, I second this nomination!

Really looking forward to CHVURCHES new album due in September! I'd like to nominate the first single - 'Leave A Trace'.

In honour of them being shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize, I'd like to nominate "Miniskirt" by Braids

^ I believe it's already been nominated, which was sad as it took a while for me to fall in love with the song and it's one of my favorites of the year.

It hasn't, actually! Feel free to support it with a seconding nom and such.

That goes for everyone's noms - It's a fairly stacked MegaCritic week all around

Speaking of which, second!

M.I.A. - "Swords"
YG - "Twist My Fingaz"
Maximum Balloon feat. Karen O & Tunde Adebimpe - "Let It Grow"

I'm seconding MIA's Swords and thirding Leave a Trace (Chvrches) and Honeymoon (Lana del Rey)
