Congratulations to David Bowie's "Blackstar" and Carly Rae Jepsen's "Run Away with Me" for entering our Hall of Fame! Really, two foregone conclusions for the HoF from the day they entered. Bowie's legacy shall live on with all of us, and with our Chart, it seems. Also of note, the first MegaCritic week of 2016, which brings five new nominations into our ranks. Interesting developments as we dive deeper into the new year. Due to Bowie and Jepsen's automatic retirement from the Chart, the top 10 songs otherwise went through to this week.

1. David Bowie - "Blackstar" (2)

Here is your 2016 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
