1. Courtney Barnett - "Three Packs a Day" (10)
2. Grimes feat. Janelle Monáe - "Venus Fly" (2)
3. ANOHNI - "Drone Bomb Me" (5)
4. Iggy Pop - "Gardenia" (3)
5. PJ Harvey - "The Community of Hope" (6)
6. Massive Attack feat. Young Fathers - "Voodoo in My Blood" (3)
7. Deftones - "Hearts/Wires" (1)
8. Kendrick Lamar - "untitled 07 2014 - 2016" (2)
9. M83 - "Do It, Try It" (6)

19. Eric Bachmann - "Carolina" (1)
20. Future of the Left - "The Limits of Battleships" (1)
Total Votes: 115

Congratulations to Courtney Barnett for entering our Hall of Fame! This is one of those strange weeks where a lack of votes for newer songs on the Chart, coupled with a Hall of Fame retirement, leads to a large amount of songs passing through into the next week. Such is the way of the voters. Due to Barnett's automatic retirement from the Chart, and the tie for 11th place, the top 13 songs otherwise went through to this week's Chart.

2016 Chart-Toppers by Week (by vote count, not chart position; total weeks atop chart in parentheses):
1. David Bowie - "Blackstar" (2)
2. David Bowie - "Blackstar" (3)
3. David Bowie - "Blackstar" (4)
4. David Bowie - "Blackstar" (5)
5. PJ Harvey - "The Wheel"
6. PJ Harvey - "The Wheel" (2)
7. PJ Harvey - "The Wheel" (3)
8. David Bowie - "Lazarus"
9. David Bowie - "Lazarus" (2)
10. PJ Harvey - "The Wheel" (4)
11. David Bowie - "Lazarus" (3)
12. PJ Harvey - "The Wheel" (5)
13. PJ Harvey - "The Wheel" (6)
14. M83 - "Do It, Try It"
15. Grimes feat. Janelle Monáe - "Venus Fly"
16. Courtney Barnett - "Three Packs a Day"

2016 Hall of Fame (10 weeks of advancing votes; automatically retired from chart):
David Bowie - "Lazarus" (Weeks 2 - 11)
Radiohead - "Spectre" (Weeks 2 - 11)
Savages - "Adore" (Weeks 2 - 11)
PJ Harvey - "The Wheel" (Weeks 4 - 13)
Grimes - "Artangels" (Weeks 5 - 14)
Courtney Barnett - "Three Packs a Day" (Weeks 7 - 16)

Here is this week's 20-song Spotify chart:


Here is your 2016 AMF Chart playlist of all songs on the chart so far this year:


Thank you all for voting and nominating continuously every week! Please don't be afraid to supply us with nominations - all songs six months old and younger (or who have received promotion via album/video/single in the last six months) are accepted! And seconding nominations by others gives those songs a better chance at making the next poll!

As per usual, the next poll will be created as close to Sunday at 19:00 UTC as I can make it. Best of voting! :D

Two nominations:

Anderson .Paak - The Seasons | Carry Me (a song that I've re-nominated before embarrassingly realizing I got it confused with The Waters) and...
Kashiwa Daisuke - Crystal Valley (I prefer this one to Stella)

I also think there is a loophole to allow for them in that they were not officially released before now.

Technically, they were released and readily available within the past six months, so MAYBE we can make an exception.

A few years ago I just kept thinking "If only Prince could make himself more readily available and put his B-sides out for the true fans."

Be careful what you wish for! You might just get it.

Theyare all released on album on december 2015 even if, as usual for him, all of these are old songs.

Indeed, and as such, they are all eligible.

I have nominated Prince - Big City some weeks ago and I renominate the song because I want to dance again and again with their funcky songs.
Second and third nomination:

Jain - All my days

Once in a while you engage a song you wanna keep hearing again and again: Currently Human Performance from Parquet Courts is having that effect on me.

My nomination this week is a beautiful Portuguese song: Céu - Perfume do invisível
