Really can't see Beyonce getting to number 1 with this but no way can tha BEPs sustain a sixth week. I know most of them this week but realise that this doesn't really help at all, I'd kind of like Blondie to do far far better than it's going to and I like the Strokes because it's so fuzzy and barely-there. Why are Blur?

Mr Swygart gets 1 for Beyonce and 5 for Joe S. joni gets 5 for Texas and Beyonce, Neil FC gets 5 for Beyonce and the Strokes. Fishman gets 1 for Texas and the Strokes and 5 for Beyonce and the Fast Food Rockers. jel gets 5 for Texas and Beyonce and 1 for the Strokes, Alex in Donny 5 for Beyonce (again) and 1 for the Strokes (again). flowerside gets 10 for the BEPs, Beyonce, the Strokes, Fast Food Rockers *and* Funeral For A Friend, plus 5 for Texas and Blondie - 60 points in all, far and away the week's top scorer. Siegbran gets 10 for Blondie and 5 for Texas and Beyonce, while edward o unluckily gets 5 for Blondie, Beyonce, the Strokes and Funeral For A Friend without a single 10-pointer ... finally, Ian Spack gets 5 for Beyonce and the Strokes, 10 for Blur and the FFRs.
