We can all agree Melancholy Sky or Fly Me Away should be the first song out, no?

Fly Me Away was first out in Popjustice's GF rate...

Deadline is technically up, but if a ballot lands in my inbox between now and when I log on later on then I'll count it.

To the surprise of no one, Penk was right and the final single from Supernature is the first cut of the rate. It was moderately successful, reaching Top 40 in the UK. The song is about wantng to get away from the world with someone you love.

Do I think this is the absolute worst song in the rate? No, but am I torn up seeing it go first? Also no. I like Fly Me Away as an album track and it's airy, ethereal feel, but I'm not a big fan of it being a single. There were more deserving cuts on the album.

Best bit: The chorus is really the only noteworthy part of the song, so that.

So, we share our first elimination with the Popjustice Goldfrapp rate, but how many more places will we share?

[AMIT]

Don't really care about this one.

Nobody really does, that's why it's so unpopular.

If I had little to say about the last one then here's even less! Released as the only single from The Singles but not even given the video treatment that it's sister song, Yellow Halo, got, the song didn't chart really anywhere and judging from this, it doesn't even have fan support.

Just like Fly Me Away, I think that this is a nice album track, but not a great single. It has the same calming feel that Fly Me Away has but it's more well-rounded imo. This was originally 5 or 6 spaces higher, but the last few ballots sent it plummeting.

Best bit: The way it gradually builds up over the song... and then just lets down at the end.

[Penk]

It's enjoyable, but definitely pales in comparison to almost everything else.

EDIT: Ah same with Melancholy Sky.
