The top 10 songs from last week's chart went through to this week's. The age of the female artist continues as Grimes runs her second chart-topping streak of the year with a surefire Hall of Fame entry to come. Really, a male artist hasn't topped the chart since Beck in week 34 way back when, but Mr. Bowie seems to be a looming threat to that. Two weeks left in the year - let's see what it has in store for our votes...

1. Alvvays - "Archie, Marry Me" (2) / Kanye West feat. Paul McCartney - "Only One"

4. Alvvays - "Archie, Marry Me" (5) / Belle and Sebastian - "Nobody's Empire"

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! :D

Hey Setherex,

I have the following situation and question for you.

In week 45 I had nominated "Pyramid / When The Poor Can Reach The Moon" from The Chills, which is a track on their latest album. The nomination got seconded twice, but nevertheless did not last long in the chart.

Now the same The Chills have brought out the single "When The Poor Can Reach The Moon" which is basically the second part of the album track. Can I nominate this single?

And btw, Like Kids is also available on Spotify:

I'm hoping that the Seth's answer will be that the same rules would apply to renominate a song that's hit our list before with a second and third nomination to get back on. I'll definitely second this one if that's the case.

Indeed, it seems that this situation would make the song a repeat contender, and if anyone would like to give the song a second nomination following Rdwdbob's, I'll re-add it to the chart next week :)

How fortuitous :music-listening:

My weekly reminder to get your votes, noms, and seconding of noms in before the new poll tomorrow! The noms are slim this week, it seems, so there's still some open positions for more. My noms for the week:

DIIV - "Under the Sun"
YG feat. Nipsey Hussle & 50 Cent - "I Wanna Benz"
Thee Oh Sees - "Fortress"

I'll nominate "Church Clothes" by The Provincial Archive; and since it appears I still have time I will add "Madrid" by Saint Sister.
