Finally, only five days after the deadline passed, I have had all the results in. It was a nail-biting finish - most (all but one) of you got your sheets in on time and there was just one point between the winning track and the two runners up. Thankfully the result of the final scoresheet wasn't to give us a tie, but an outright winner. And the winning track, with a grand total of 74 points was ... Budapest, by George Ezra, as selected by, you guessed it, Simon!

So, congratulations to Simon who gets to choose the theme for the next CD (more of that later) ... again.

A creditable second place goes to Pete Hodgson's choice of Rome Wasn't Built In A Day, by Morcheeba with 70 points, just a gnat's whisker ahead of Fran's selection Amsterdam by Imagine Dragons which scored 69 points.

We can't go any further without mentioning Jasper's distinction of nil points! Well done - a thoroughly deserved Wooden Spoon.

So, on to the guessing game ...

Rob was king of the psychologists/complete guessers by correctly identifying 5 people out of the 20 tracks he didn't contribute. Second was Katja who also identified 5 people (one of whom was Jim though) out of 21. Pete H was third with 4 out of 20 which I've judged to score just better than Fran's 4 out of 21.

The track most easily associated with the contributor was my Divine Comedy track which 6 of you managed to guess correctly (no surprise there).

The most elusive person was ... Howard, who put on two tracks without being pegged for either of them. Also, newcomer Sam wasn't pegged for Metallica by anyone.

OK, on to total combined contribution and average overall contribution ...

Allan amassed 104 points in total (from 3 tracks), followed by Pete H with 103 (2 tracks) and Rob 98 (2 tracks). In terms of average contribution per track, Fran wins with 69 points (1 track) followed by Neil (67 from 1) and Jim (53 from 1). And the 'Why Did You Even Bother' award for worst total contribution goes to Jasper with 0 points from 1 track.
