The top 10 songs went through to this week. I think this is the first time that last week's chart-topping song has been eliminated in the next week. Interesting stuff. The deal with new entries was a little funky this week, since many of the "new" albums on the Mega Critic Chart had appeared in previous weeks already. So only four entries from the current edition of the chart made it into the poll. The other six new songs are nominations!
