Well then. Since there's a five-way tie for 8th place, 12 songs went through to this week. And I highly doubt we've ever had five newcomers make it through to the next round, let alone have a song that's almost been swept off the charts a few times get the top rank sporadically. I don't understand you people and your voting habits. But they're unpredictable, I suppose.
