As we are now half way through the year, I will open the voting for new tracks. Same format as before - 10 songs per person. There is not really much point voting for any of the 25 listed above, as they are already locked in. The top 25 from this round will be added, giving us a top 50.

I will leave this open until Sunday 26th July.

You can post any tracks which were released this year, but there is not much point posting stuff that has already made it into the top 25 from the first quarter.

You need to post 10 tracks - the first will get 10 pts, the last will get 1 pt.
