No rush mate, I'll be hosting a best of 2026 theme when I presumably win tonight so will save time on having to come up with a theme.

Eh, let's get this show on the road.

Great to have Stokey and MC BG back despite their noms not getting enough appreciation imho.
I voted for a couple here (Salsa Suprema and Sigala) and obviously one was mine so think it was a strong PL overall, the lack of whining this round also is a positive indication haha.

Hydatina remains at the top of his game finding new material.
A couple of classic crowd-pleasers close out this section.

In 3rd Place is Let's Hear It for the Boy by Deniece Williams with 25 votes & 1 Billies (2B543515), nominated by spinynorman

This is Deniece Williams first nomination in the SC and gets a deserved Bronze.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I've nearly nommed that Timbaland tune a few times, thanks to the Giants player for introducing it to me.

I was going to vote for it, but that second rap verse (which I didn't even know existed) felt out of whack with the rest of the song. Dunno why it was even included because the radio never played it.
