Owing to a bit of a work related disaster and a hotel that had no wi-fi the Single of The Week post this week was delayed...(sorry).
Alas though, it just means you'll need to squeeze your voting into six days rather than seven and seeing that you have been so patient in waiting for it, we actually have a really strong lineup to choose from...
So, get your picking action on from this little lot...

Florence & The Machine – 'You've Got The Love' ...
