    I score 10 points. But as I only submitted 5 songs where others submitted 6, maybe a better indication would be the average, which is 2 for me.

    6 songs, 20 points, average 3.33

    Chesney Hawkes - The one and only - Round 1
    Dario G - Sunchyme - Round 2
    Mr President - Coco Jamboo - Round 2

    Even worse, I thought I had nominated Charles and Eddy as I had forgotten my actual entrants.

    5 points for Safety Dance,
    2 for Steal My Sunshine,
    1 each for Addictive, Bitch and You're Not Alone.

    10 points in total, average score of 2 points per song.

    But if I include Save Tonight as my sixth choice (which it effectively was, just not officially) I get a more impressive 16 points and average score of 2.67 per song. ^_^

    I think my total was 20.

    Average 3.33.

    I suppose it's a bit insulting to describe Blue Oyster Cult as a OHW but they fit the criteria set down.

    Can't believe nobody nominated Your Woman by White Town or Lemon Tree by Fool's Garden! Two great songs.

    Good songs, both of them.

    The one I regret not nominating was Tasmin Archer's Sleeping Satellite.
    Her album is one of my favourite of all times!
