Group 1: Well I'm not Lüc but yeah, compared to what's too come, this group isn't nearly strong enough. Still good songs of course and difficult choices to make, but based on what's left almost certainly the weakest group this round.

Santé - 4
Blue Monday - 3
Der Kommissar - 2
Africa - 1


Group 2: Stacked. Only 1 point for Telegraph Road and nothing for Bohemian Rhapsody, Enjoy the Silence, or Solsbury Hill!!! Songs in this group got a combined 25 points from me in round 2. Now I have only 10...

Paranoid Android - 4
The Universal - 3
Child in Time - 2
Telegraph Road - 1

Group 3:

Once in a Lifetime - 4
The Chain - 3
Sweet Dreams - 2
Kashmir - 1

I suspect the remaing two groups are gonna be really strong as well.

Time to bring this out again

Is this on the wiki?  We need to start memorializing some of these years-long traditions.

[Sir Lüc]

All three groups are varying degrees of strong to me, and no doubt at least one of 4 and 5 will be strong too. I thought the toughest choice was in group 2, but group 3 turned out to be much more difficult to vote on. Group 1 also has a few personal favourites that I doubt will make it through.
So carnage is coming, but at this stage of the tournament that's pretty much inevitable, as personal favourites have a tougher time against stronger popular picks, when the field narrows down and especially when a fair number survived this far.

GROUP 1
4 - Africa
3 - Der Kommissar
2 - Santé
1 - I'm Still Standing

GROUP 2
4 - Telegraph Road
3 - Child in Time
2 - Bohemian Rhapsody
1 - I Will Survive

GROUP 3
4 - Under Pressure
3 - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
2 - Paranoid
1 - Kashmir

Ian, any chance there will be a top 20 broadcast?

Are you saying the infographic would enhance the TMT20 page, or that the infographic itself is a "years-long tradition"?

The plan is to have it on election night, although I haven't confirmed that I'll be available then
