Ok, let's get going!
Let me just say that everything in positions 14 to 4 changed ranks at some point. I feel like a broken record saying this, but the standard was very high and it was so hard to separate a lot of these songs. So much so that songs by artists I love ended up with some poor scores in this round. On which note....
Kicking us off in 14th place and with 4 points:
Björk Guðmundsdóttir & tríó Guðmundar Ingólfssonar – Ruby Baby
Have I listened to the artist before? Yes (almost daily, in the case of the singer!)
Have I listened to the song before? Yes

I’m a huge Björk fan, she is one of my favourite artists of all time. I think, however, it’s fair to say that she’s not exactly known for her jazz numbers. I’ve never actually listened to Gling Gló, the parent album of this track. I believe it was recorded before her solo career really took off with Debut. It’s a perfectly nice and pleasant way to spend a few minutes of your life but it’s not exactly a jazz classic, and really serves more as just a curio in the (fantastic) back catalogue of Ms. Guðmundsdóttir.
