Congratulations to Tame Impala's "Eventually" for entering our Hall of Fame! The second Tame Impala song to make it into the HOF this year, but only one of many to make an impact in our chart. It's worth noting also the loss of Jamie xx's "Gosh," a ninth week hopeful for the Hall. Sometimes the voters can be cruel with their decisions. But hey, the top 10 is a solid one. And another fun bit - all 10 songs nominated in last week's thread made it into the poll today! Boo for short nomination lists. But yay for including everyone! Due to Tame Impala's 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!

[Maschine_Man]

My day has been made superbright by (and I nominate) Sapokanikan - Joanna Newsom

[Rdwdbob]

Getting this nomination in under the wire from an album released in March: Buxton - 'Miss Catalina 1992'.

[phil]

My day has been made superbright by (and I nominate) Sapokanikan - Joanna Newsom

Wow! Thanks for letting me know this was out. Fantastic songs. And I'm so excited she has finally announced the date for a new album. Definitely second this one.

I would also like to nominate:
Deradoorian - The Eye

[notbrianeno]

It's no surprise to me that I'm absolutely in love with Joanna's new song, especially considering Ys and Have One On Me are both in my top ten of all time. Fantastic return from one of my favorite musicians, continuing her stellar record as a lyricist, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist. Can't wait to listen to this album on repeat on my bike this fall. I third the nomination of "Sapokanikan."

I also nominate "Swim" by Nicolas Jaar

[tombeet]

First thought: I'm quite surprised that Ship to Wreck had such a strong supporting, considered What Kind of Man didn't fare too well here.

Second thought, Newsom's new song is such a blast... I'm four-ing the nomination (like this song will need it!)

This week my nomination include brand new song from my absolute favourite band - Beach House: Beyond Love. and also - Dr. Dre - Genocide
and the surprising solid song - The Rubens - Battles

[Chilton]

I'd like to nominate again: Ghostpoet - Sorry My Love, It's You Not Me

[prosecutorgodot]

I nominate Dr. Dre - Deep Water (ft. Kendrick Lamar, Justus)

[CosmicMonkey]

I nominate Young Fathers - "Shame"

[Gillingham]

Second thought, Newsom's new song is such a blast... I'm four-ing the nomination (like this song will need it!)

This week my nomination include brand new song from my absolute favourite band - Beach House: Beyond Love.

I second the nomination of Beyond Love and fifth the nomination of Sapokanikan.

[Setherex]

I second the nomination of Beyond Love and fifth the nomination of Sapokanikan.

I think this makes "Sapokanikan" the first song to be sixth nomination'd in the thread

My weekly reminder to get your votes, nominations, and seconding of nominations (or seventhing, as it were) in before the new poll is created tomorrow! As a note, OtisRedding seems to be running a bit late with the MegaCritic chart, so if he happens not to have created it by 19:00 UST tomorrow, the poll will run using only nominations in the thread, and the MC Chart will count towards the following week's noms.

My noms for the week:
FKA Twigs - "In Time"
Majical Cloudz - "Silver Car Crash"
Amy Bezunartea – "Oh the Things a Girl Must Do"

[tombeet]

I second "In Time" by FKA Twigs if it's still not too late
