predict on what you think will happen here also.

Posted by: CodySleighBell-y Dec 5 2015, 02:44 PM

Excited to see where "West End Kids" ends up!

Yay at "Push" and "Ghosts" getting mentions as well!

Posted by: #psychic7 Dec 5 2015, 02:47 PM

Sigh.

I will rectify this in 2016 ~

Posted by: Cheznuts Dec 5 2015, 02:51 PM

So close yet so far </3 Nice to have three honourable mentions though. I look forward to following this!

Posted by: Qween Dec 5 2015, 03:10 PM

I predict my SOLE ENTRY will be about 40th. I'm also guessing it will be Shamir.

Posted by: dandy* Dec 5 2015, 04:16 PM

Had a slight hope for Kölsch so glad to see it get a mention. happy.gif

We've been unusually distant in terms of our tastes aligning this year haven't we? Something to rectify in '16 methinks.

QUOTE
Kicking off the Top 50 is this year's sole entry for former BJSC co-host Jayrusalem. The charming and delicate 'Wait A Minute' was a surprising but subtle effort which combined the best of blogpop sensibilities with raw emotion to give a sleek but affected result. Cadelicia are one of those nations that are completely consistent, and despite switching up their styles several times during the year, they always deliver a great track. The 'Lean On'-esque 'DTTM (Don't Talk To Me)' took our top points in BJSC 79 and is the highest of the Cadelician entries this year. Tartford's underdog Cigarettes After Sex entry from the most recent contest only continues to grow, sneaking just inside the Top 50 as well as snatching a surprise qualification / final result in its contest. The first of three from N DNTN is the charming iamamiwhoami / ABBA-esque hybrid 'Scandinavia' from the ever underrated Merely, which was a complete return to form for the nation and unjustly DNQ'ed in BJSC 75. Daehun also bring the first of three entries with 'Play', which is the top ranking J/K-pop hit in this countdown and had one of the best videos of any entry this year, chanelling complete Sims vibes.

Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 5 2015, 07:07 PM

Yaay @ 2 entries (Audrey and Sogand I assume?)

'Scandinavia' and 'Play' <3

Posted by: James Frost Dec 5 2015, 07:42 PM

If Rationale or Elicit didn't make your chart in guessing it must be Lema <3 what an amazing choice <3

QUOTE
Séyetana's sole entry in this list is a candy dance wonder from the world of My Little Pony that is so cute and crafted that it could pass as a completely serious composition. A very fitting entry for the nation going by the member behind it, which unfortunately saw them barely DNQ'ing. The hype for it has built throughout the year and I'm sure it's now a top choice to steal the BJSC TBO: Rejects crown. Ramrynia's self-recycle was one of the cheeriest and carefree pieces of music you'll hear this year, and surprised me by nearing the top points mark in its contest. Mulgracia also suffered from an unjust DNQ in BJSC 73 where the track was tipped for final success, only to bomb, but the infectious subtlety of the track still lingers with me to this day. N DNTN suffered from yet more racism towards their nation as the gorgeous 'Human Drama' fell at the semi hurdle despite it being a beautiful and dramatic exploration of gender, however this section does end on a high note of Kylienips first win which was an aggressive pop-rock grenade which made not only a massive impact on me but many more of the participating nations this year, and is definitely one of the most memorable winners in the contest's history.

QUOTE
This section shows the funkier side of the contest. We kick off with club supergroup Club cheval giving us a completely quintessential Espen moment, whilst Utopia's moment here could be described as a complete 180 for them. The latter's booty-dropping urban dance mash-up gave a rare return to form success and quality wise for the nation back in BJSC 72. Republic Of Adonia once again had their finger on the chart pulse, sending a [then] future hit in 'Intoxicated' - another addictive slice of groovy French house. Cumulonimbia put themselves on the map again with the gorgeous 'Pick You Up' which became a bit of a contender at the start of the year for them, whilst #00274E shake off A*M*E's veto curse to bring you a dark and musky house anthem which stormed its way to success in BJSC 75, and is much better enjoyed in its full-length version.

Posted by: Doctor Blind Dec 9 2015, 09:35 AM

Lxury! Woop, glad that you enjoyed it Leww.

Posted by: CodySleighBell-y Dec 9 2015, 02:21 PM

QUOTE
Hushkanukia made an impact this year as THE new country to beat, showing themselves as a power player in the end of year rankings and also becoming the go-to pop country for Aeroche of 2015 [sorry Ramrynia / Bellamia]. This marks their highest entry on the countdown and rightfully so - their MASSIVE winner 'St. Patrick' annihilated the competition in 72 and started to show the country as a power force, and still resonates with us today. Now I know everyone loves the video for our number #33 song, but #34 is one with an absolutely beautiful video too and is one of the most underrated entries of the year I feel - FARC's gorgeous entry 'Running' I feel would've been a winning contender maybe a year or two ago, but didn't quite live up to what I thought despite still being a massive tune in Aeroche. 'Ghost' also took the competition by storm, winning the ultimate contest of the year, whilst Ethanola started it off on a happy note with the ever joyful Matoma taking MYNGA's track to a beautiful tropical beach whilst we were recovering from the cold winters. Finally... at #31... π always provide us with the most anti-BJSC of entries but none moreso than this - a TEN MINUTE Syrian banger featuring modern cult artisté Omar Souleyman putting his spin on astounding production from Modeselektor, a track which only DNQ'ed due to the country's refusal to participate in the semi-final voting protest. DAMN YOU.

QUOTE
This section is one for the slow burning and the infectious tracks of the year. The absolutely STUNNING remix of 'Sway', an Unknown Pleasures track from Republic Of Adonia by dance outfit Chainsmokers got seductive and captured me in its subtle charms, working its way into the Top 30 tracks of the year, but seductiveness didn't come ANY better than the next track at #29. D'yermak'er spent their year getting emotional and getting Desi but it was when they succumbed to the dancebloc that they made their biggest surprises. Their first of FOUR tracks in this EOY countdown comes from supergroup Jessica 6, spearheaded by trans dance icon Nomi Ruiz, the enchanting 'Down Low'. If any song in BJSC made me want to get nasty widdit, it was this one. Yehesi and Danaelanda also give strong showings with underrated dance tracks that had me completely hooked throughout the entire year (both have entries still to come), whilst Ramrynia score a complete personal best with a rare ASTOUNDING entry in ASTR. Good work.
