Unacclaimed IX: Heats, Week 8
The way this game works is that you will be given two sets of four songs, your job is to rank each of the sets from best to worst. First place gets 4 points, second gets 3 etc.
The song with the most points in each set will advance to the semi-finals. If there is a tie for points, then the song with more first place votes will advance. If they are tied on first place votes as well, there will be a sudden death tiebreak. Also the six highest scoring non-winners in the heat stage (based off point per voter and then percentage of first place votes) will also advance to the semi-finals.
Feel free to ask any questions, deadline is next Wednesday at 22:00 BST (note the change).

Sorry, Bang Jan, but in Spain (at least, I don't know about other countries) Jane Birkin's "La pleine lune" is available on Spotify:

It's unavailable in the UK but seems to be available elsewhere.

Having only known Birkin from her work with Gainsbourg, I was astounded to discover that she'd went on to make... Portishead???

Holy Moses, "Podría ser peor" has got to be the most tightly-composed, life-affirming dance-pop track I've heard in a long time (of course, it's only "life-affirming" to me because I can't understand the lyrics, I know they're actually totally anguished). Unfortunately, my Muppety allegiances win out here (Belafonte sang "Turn the World Around" both on The Muppet Show and at Jim Henson's memorial service).
