Yeah no idea how parlez got in there, its an ok party song but not worth 2nd spot.
Hilltops song is rubbish, mumford and fags is boring, lily is a nova tart, though Youv got the love would have been in there, broken leg aint that good… + Jmag fucked up with the winner.
Had a look at the top 5s from the past few years and pretty much what ever gets played on Nova gets the top spot. Most these songs are really played a great deal on the Js, its just the email, rat race desk jockeys voting cause they have nothing else better to do with their pathetic lives.
Would be good if they do it oldschool and you post in your votes or how ever they used to do it, would sift all the muppets out.

if anything, they are far LESS commercial these days, rather the masses came to them.
