QUOTE(RabbitFurCoat @ Feb 5 2019, 09:27 PM)  Really pleased with a top 10 finish and to get some medal placings. This contest opened just after their album was released and I'd seen them live and I was utterly obsessed. Body and Make a Man are tracks of a similar style, but I think their current single Strangers has grown to be my favourite of theirs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yOG2MHVyL0 I'm liking it! I've fallen so out of love with guitar music (or at least out of touch maybe) that it's good to have a band I can like again... |

Excellent - always good to introduce a fan. Their album is 10 tracks, 33 minutes so good length for an album of that type. Dream Wife were my other go-to female band with guitars last year. |

QUOTE(blacksquare @ Feb 5 2019, 09:37 PM) To those mentioning BJSC... I'm not actually sure what that is. 👀 It is pretty much just a slightly more grandiose version of the same concept as Unknown Pleasures, it's the most popular song contest on here (most of the people who enter Unknown Pleasures enter BJSC as well). The main difference is just that it doesn't have the anonymity element as people enter songs under made up country names (which goes back to it originally being an event within the Eurovision forum before it became its own thing). That and it having a semi-final stage. |

QUOTE(Popchartfreak @ Feb 5 2019, 03:01 AM) Great to see Black Atlass do well, one of the great tracks of last year for me (thanks Jordan! I've been so wondering who sent it in, and I shouldn't be at all surprised considering how often I rate your choices! Yes John it's been driving me crazy for months  ) - you must have been dying to tell me when it topped my personal charts  ) So glad the cat's finally out of the bag! At least I had assurance that I got at least one person's top points |

I gave six points to the winning song. Well done blacksquare. And thanks to Dandy for finally getting this finished! All you need to do now is finish the Pet Shop Boys rate results.

Well it's excellent to be reminded of Estrons and Plastician, they are both naturally fantastic songs for different reasons and listening to them now confirms that, always loved heavy guitar things like Estrons and 'Japan' is a beautifully chill instrumental. Winner is decent, apparently I didn't vote for it but it sounds good enough and that landslide is quite something so congratulations blacksquare!
20 Estrons 15 The Dψ 12 Plastician 10 Demira 08 Lion 07 Just A Band 06 Jade Cicada 05 Cifo Motto 04 Kitty 03 Mahaut 02 Cari Cari 01 Kardajala |

QUOTE(Brι @ Feb 5 2019, 09:40 PM) He has won the Pop Forum Song Contest and two BJSC spinoffs now, the 2nd place curse is just still going strong in the main BJSC, UP, Nuggets and Club Bizarre  I've had one runner-up in UP and never made a medal position with anything anywhere apart from that. I see several wins and runners-up as wildly successful!

thanks for doing this dandy, enjoyed the way it was revealed and the leisurely pace is kinder on my sleeping times than BJSC!
I hadnt really noticed the winner in amongst my first choices, but it's a good un, so congrats Blacksquare! I also had no idea what BJSC was till someone suggested I join It's a great way to find new music gems and a lot of fun.
