    Half point to Winifred Atwell - Let's Have a Ding Dong. (I have never heard this before, but I like the old traditional piano/Wurtzler sound).
    Half point to Paul McCartney and the Frog Chorus - We All Stand Together (Well this song had a super cute video when I was young. I actually have this on vinyl single)

    I thought Round #20 was the weakest so far, but I now have to bestow that dubious honour on Round #21.

    A vote for Petula Clark.
    Am I a fan of this artist? Not really.
    Am I a fan of this song? Not really.
    So why did I vote for it? It's the least worst option.

    No halves from me in this round.


    Macca's "We All Stand Together", is a bit of a guilty pleasure, but I don't like it quite enough to give it a half vote.

    I don't mind the Neil and Barbra song, but again I don't like it quite enough to give it a half vote.

    I love early rock 'n' roll, so naturally I love the music of Chuck Berry. However, it does annoy me that this great artist's only UK #1 was the novelty song "My Ding A Ling", which as far as I'm concerned is bloody awful and without doubt the worst thing he ever recorded.

    As an avid fan of sixties music, hit singles from that decade that I truly detest are rarer than hen's teeth. However, "I'm Coming Home" by Jones the Groans is one such hen's tooth.

    The rest of this selection are not really my cup of tea.

    Such a dilemma. I love Downtown but, by the slimmest of slim margins, The Frog Chorus gets my vote.

    A well deserved half mark for Petula.

    I also award a half mark to Kylie and Jason. I wouldn't choose to listen to it but I wouldn't turn it off if 80s mixtape played it.

    That was a hard choice to make. But halves to Petula Clark, Barbara Striesland and Neil Diamond and Ladbaby,

    Sorry @MaxxieD I think I go quite carried away naming my favourites that I lost track of how many I gave a half to.
