Congratulations to ANOHNI for entering our Hall of Fame! ANOHNI becomes the first transgender artist to enter the Hall of Fame, and aptly continues the dominant streak of women that have controlled 2016. Meanwhile, "Burn the Witch" continues to dominate the Chart the first three weeks in its run - we'll see how it holds up, especially against the looming threats of David Bowie and... more Radiohead. Due to ANOHNI's automatic retirement from the Chart, as well as the tie for 10th, the top 10 songs otherwise went through to this week.

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!

Random side note: my favorite thing about last week's voting was that Timmy got a song into the Chart called "Timmy's Prayer"

I'd like to nominate St. Apolonia by Julianna Barwick

Haha it resonated with me, clearly my real name's Will but this is a forum username I've been using for a while. Just kinda stuck I guess.

This week, I'll go for "Fill in the Blank" by Car Seat Headrest.

Mexxrissey -international playgirl. Ill let you discover this brilliant rework. Morrissey goes Mejican

The Hotelier - Piano Player
Kvelertak - 1985
Twin Peaks - Walk to the One You Love

I'll throw a late nomination towards "Yonder Blue" by Tortoise

Kaytranada - Lite Spots
Marissa Nadler - Katie I Know
William Tyler - Kingdom of Jones

Also, this song just came out today and is pretty great:

Pusha T - Drug Dealers Anonymous (feat. Jay Z)

spiritualized wrote: The Kills - Heart of a Dog

Seconded.

I'll second the nom for William Tyler - Kingdom of Jones

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd like to nominate a new song by the Avalanches: "Frankie Sinatra".

(also "Hold Your Own Hand" by Mothers)

I have to say, I am currently undergoing emotions and feelings that I never thought I would experience. The music video is just otherworldly. I don't know, man.

Seconded.

Mothers Seconded

Avalanches Thirded

Will fourth that Avalanches nom!

I also want to nominate the new Beck song "Wow"

Definitely seconding the Beck song. Fun track!

I want to nominate "Plunder" by the Felice Brothers, but at the moment the only way you can hear it on YouTube is as part of a Night Vale episode.

If you could just isolate the song, it might work and be eligible

Second the nomination for Piano Player.

I'd also like to nominate "Saviour" by Jacob Collier. Absolutely dizzying... The guy is a twenty-something one-man-band prodigy who really has to be heard to be believed. This one's got touches of Prince, Stevie, Earth Wind & Fire, jazz fusion and Peter Gabriel (at least in the video). Check it out!

Fakear - Ankara

Whitney - "Follow"
Jay Som - "I Think You're Alright"
Angel Olsen - "Intern"
