Here’s an Apple Music version of the 89 playlist. Missing “Finditnow” but does have “Self Destruction” (thanks, Snoop). Otherwise, the same songs are missing.

music.apple.com/gb/playlist/...

+ so they’re all in one place, links below ⬇️ to Apple 88, Apple 87 and Apple 86

The full list of 256 tracks for this year's #BPHM8689 poll is here

docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

BTW I *think* the fairly radical changing of the guard this poll - no Stevie or Pointers this time! - leaves JOAN ARMATRADING as the only artist in all 5 BPHM tournaments
