Here are your rankings for Week 11 (number of weeks on the chart so far in parentheses):
1. David Bowie - "Lazarus" (10)
2. PJ Harvey - "The Wheel" (8)
3. Savages - "Adore" (10)
4. Suede - "Outsiders" (1)
5. Grimes - "Artangels" (7)
6. case/lang/veirs - "Atomic Number" (2)

Total Votes: 137

Congratulations to David Bowie's "Lazarus," Radiohead's "Spectre," and Savages' "Adore" for all making our Hall of Fame! This is the first time that three songs have made the HoF in one week, which if nothing else, is a great sign of 2016's greatness to come. As the last three songs to really vie for Hall of Fame candidacy in the 5-vote rule era of the Chart, it'll be interesting to see how the rest of the current pack shapes up comparatively. David Bowie's "Lazarus" also becomes the first song to enter the Hall of Fame posthumously, as well as the first song to do so through a re-nomination after being first eliminated from the Chart. Funny how culture can impact our little weekly regimen so greatly. Due to Bowie, Radiohead, and Savages' automatic retirement from the Chart, as well as the tie for 12th, the top 12 songs otherwise went through to this week's Chart.

2016 Chart-Toppers by Week (by vote count, not chart position; total weeks atop chart in parentheses):
1. David Bowie - "Blackstar" (2)
2. David Bowie - "Blackstar" (3)
3. David Bowie - "Blackstar" (4)
4. David Bowie - "Blackstar" (5)
5. PJ Harvey - "The Wheel"
6. PJ Harvey - "The Wheel" (2)
7. PJ Harvey - "The Wheel" (3)
8. David Bowie - "Lazarus"
9. David Bowie - "Lazarus" (2)
10. PJ Harvey - "The Wheel" (4)
11. David Bowie - "Lazarus" (3)

2016 Hall of Fame (10 weeks of advancing votes; automatically retired from chart):
David Bowie - "Lazarus" (Weeks 2 - 11)
Radiohead - "Spectre" (Weeks 2 - 11)
Savages - "Adore" (Weeks 2 - 11)

Here is this week's 19-song Spotify chart (with 1 song included below via external link):


Kanye West - "Ultralight Beam" (streaming on Tidal)

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

I second "Girl Loves Me", "Earth to Heaven" and "Piano Player".

EDIT: I also second "Meet Me in the City" on the condition I can nominate another outtake from that album next week. There are some gems there.
