DAY 3 TV TEASER
This still from a 21st-century episode of TV is a clue to one of toomorrow's 12 songs... which one?
This particular episode is exactly 17 years old today!

Obviously the host's Song of the Day.
I'm only said it's also the

GORILLAZ
'ON MELANCHOLY HILL'
UK
2 x 11
6 x HM
Plastic Beach may have been second to Body Talk as the most picked-from album of 2010.
But how many did it get into the finale?

CARIBOU
'ODESSA'
Canada
No bonuses
11 x HM (3/36 with 10+)
The lowest-ranked song with 10 or more HMs, but still in the top 150.
A good illustration of the power they wield when used wisely.

KAVINSKY ft LOVEFOXXX
'NIGHTCALL'

'Like A G6' was the last US song of the day... quite an international flavour so far, and another new country will follow Brazil tonight.

FAR EAST MOVEMENT ft THE CATARACTS & DEV
'LIKE A G6'
USA
No bonuses
8 x HM
Obviously this was a big hit in BAIA-land too, but being as it peaked right around the 50th anniversary of Coronation Street...
www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4s6...
#TheTenx5
And this means we've seen the last of Body Talk, which will be represented only by 'DOMO' and (thanks to my late switch HM) 'Call Your Girlfriend'.
Like 'Hang With Me', 'Indestructible' scored 45pts. This time with two 10s and 5 HMs.

KATY B
'KATY ON A MISSION'
UK
2 x 11
10 x HM (2/36 with 10+)
A remarkably consistent performer in what's a largely un-British upper quartile, culminating in that double-figure HM tally.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6tH...
Miley Cyrus graces #TheN0ughtie5 rules page from today - it should be getting more hits in the next two months.
This week's linked theme is quite a nice one, and I think makes tomorrow's album (from 2025/2026) very guessable.

In contrast to 'Hollywood', this had no points until February 25th.
It's never too late (until it is)!

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM
'I CAN CHANGE'
USA
No bonuses
4 x HM
LCD Soundsystem join Robyn as the only artists with two qualifiers so far.
Both are likely to do it again (a-ha!) in Part III.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7Qa...
#TheTenx5
Indeed, edit history confirms that 'Hollywood' received no picks in Month 2, just those three HMs in the last 10 days.
#TheTenx5
This, I'm afraid, confirms the absence of Robyn's 'Hang With Me' from the qualifiers.
30 points in advance
Only 10 new points in picking season.
Just my HM.
We will learn the fate of 'Indestructible' today.
#TheTenx5
The still was from an epsiode of The Sopranos in which Christopher and Little Carmine visit Hollywood to tout CLEAVER, and have some interactions with actual Hollywood stars playing themselves.
Day 3's teaser will be in a reply to today's last song.
OH MY GOD!
it's the answer to #THETENX5 TV Teaser...

A change from our advertised programmes (i.e. her only entry in #FearofMu21C was 'I Follow Rivers' Magician Remix)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TTP...
Inspired by this, here's when I discovered my #THETENX5 picks and HMs - a lot more of my picks came during shortlisting and almost all my HMs were discovered during the challenge.
#THETENX5
Back tomorrow, to see if my home country can open its 2010s account sometime before 2011!

#THETENX5 QUALIFIERS playlist is now linked from this page.
I have also started adding the country and artist stats for this parade season.
Note that cumulative (Parts I and II) stats will be available in the top menu after parade season closes on 20th April.
mu21cvs.com/2026/01/28/t...
#THETENX5
DOMO also has the most 11s in Part II (9).
This time it's one more than anything in Part I, and four more than anything else in Part II.
Obviously this means:
- Most bonuses (16, next best 8)
- Most points in bonuses (23, next best 11)
It also has most bonuses + HMs combined (24)
