First, congrats to @dannyryden.bsky.social for guessing all those last three correctly.
Second, here's tomorrow's TV Teaser (a clue to one of Day 12's songs, in the form of a still from C21 TV)
The bigger clue is to the artist, though this particular shot does relate to the title.
#THETENX5
PARADE - DAY 11
2015 (4/?)
11.12 (132/240)
LITTLE MIX
'BLACK MAGIC'
UK
1 x 11
2 x HM
Two things:
1. Surprised at the gap between this and all other Little Mix songs.
2. This is the song that tied with 'Inspector Norse' at 0-14 on HMs.

Doing a family thing tonight, so I'll post the last three songs all at once around 10-11pm UK time.
In the meantime, they're very guessable, see how you do...
- 1 A and 2 Bs
- 1 UK, 1 USA, 1 multi-national
- One is my song of the day
- One made Pollhalla for 2015
Later!
#TheTenx5
And that's also the answer to the Day 11 TV Teaser - Danny is pressing the accelerator pedal in his car.

A black T-shirt with pink lettering as follows: HATING POP MUSIC DOESN'T MAKE YOU DEEP
I re-read the Grammys 2017 thread a couple of months ago, during #TheTenx5 prep...
Genuinely so intelligent and engaged and aware - exactly the kind of thing that made me buy this T-shirt.
Such a shame sources like that won't be available in future.

2014 has at least 9 songs, and this is my only main pick from 2014, so obviously it's 'Song of the Day'!
