Thanks for joining us for the Final Results of BJSC 161! We will be broadcasting live from the Veronica Resort very shortly. It has been a tumultuous day at the resort, as many of you are aware. If you weren’t aware, you’ll be hearing about it soon.

Late votes were received from Republic of Adonia, Scotland 2, Summericia, Aelandor and Skall. No votes were received from Cadelicia, Pagasa, Beaverdonia, Lotunia, Buzzjack Mountain, or Sombrero.

Looking forward to hearing your predictions and reactions as tonight’s events unfold!

Posted by: Riser 28th January 2024, 06:03 PM

Unfortunately, due to deteriorating conditions in and around the venue, all guest performers have collectively agreed to cancel their performance slots during the interval of the Grand Final Results. We scrambled on short notice to bring in other Harmonican acts to perform, but all of them either did not respond or declined the last-minute invite. That is, all but one. So we have exactly one artist ready to perform the entire Harmonican All-Star Interval.

Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for DOOP!



Please bear with us for further announcements on this evening's proceedings.

hoping that Fat Dog can pull off a win from the hyped contenders but who knows.

My only other orchestral entry came 2nd but not expecting anywhere near for this, would love a top 20 result but we'll see.

Posted by: Brer 28th January 2024, 06:09 PM

Oops no Lotunia </3 they haven't missed a contest since they debuted so that's a real shame, hope they will be back in 163. Glad we did at least get late votes from the rest of the people I hoped we would (and Skall), 6 non-voters is still quite a few but not exactly unprecedented.

(again Oliver do let us know if you're still dealing with real life stuff and I'm sure we'll be fine to waive a ban for the next contest if you want x)

Anyway... here to root for Fat Dog xx And hopefully I will be getting off to a decently better start to the year than last year!

Posted by: Dobbo 28th January 2024, 06:10 PM

Fingers crossed for a new finishing position.

Posted by: RobBot 28th January 2024, 06:13 PM

That is actually quite a lot of non-voters. This month seems to have felt quite quiet on the whole, I wonder if there's a reason ~

Posted by: Brer 28th January 2024, 06:16 PM

Half of them are people who basically always don't vote when they DNQ (and sometimes even when they do qualify) tbf

(also jamming to the Doop performance )

Posted by: RobBot 28th January 2024, 06:23 PM

Also, predicting:

01 Cor Lupus
02 Sovarasma
03 Kathaldazia
04 FARC
05 Danaeviia

Based off my own thoughts and detecting where other hype seems to be going. I think Sovarasma will dominate on the 18s front though but think Cor Lupus might have a tad more universal appeal.

Posted by: Iz 🧊 28th January 2024, 06:27 PM

bring it on, hoping for a decent result for Deathbrain and out of the contenders, definitely feeling like Fat Dog have a good case

Posted by: Cody Cranston 28th January 2024, 06:28 PM

When was the last time we’ve had more than 5 non voters?

Hope Oliver’s okay

Posted by: Addy! 28th January 2024, 06:31 PM

Fully supporting Sovarasma win!!!

I hope Dolly Style manages to finish Top 20 (and that at #19 please) or if they flop please give me new position in 30's as well!!!

Posted by: Y'all Starlight 28th January 2024, 06:31 PM

Fat Dog winning would be iconic but I do also really like Cor Lupus' entry this month! Interested to see how this will play out...

Posted by: Brer 28th January 2024, 06:35 PM

The first contest last year also had 6 non-voters (as did the second one, although that was the one that had 74 entries x)

Posted by: jimwatts 28th January 2024, 06:39 PM

Metric - Sick Muse {Zechonia XXII; 16}
Metric - Front Row {Dulpaen XXVII; 13}
Metric - Dressed To Suppress {Utopia CVIII; 8}
Metric - Now Or Never Now {Beaverdonia CIX; 7}
Metric - Days Of Oblivion {Bronzil CLXI; TBC}

No pressure to keep that impressive record going then (top 20 would be great, but with a lukewarm reaction so far I can't really see it.)

No first ever points from Lotunia until at least BJSC 163 I guess, though their missing the next contest means I'll have picked up points from all the remaining ever-presents in 151-162.

Hoping for big things from Adrianne!

Posted by: Riser 28th January 2024, 06:41 PM

My name is Jon Taffer. You might recognize me as the host of an American show called Bar Rescue. Well, today I’m here for another operation. I’ll call it Resort Rescue for now. From now on, you’re dealing with me and not those scumbags you were dealing with before. I personally was contacted by guests about shortages of food, water, and electricity. Well I’ve been here for 45 minutes, and I don’t know what these guys told you before, but this resort is not safe. We’ll finish this little ceremony you’ve got planned, but we’re flirting with disaster if we stay here much longer.

Listen up! Authorities are on their way to evacuate each delegation from the Veronica Resort. We will allow each delegation to announce their votes before they are evacuated. We are requiring the countries that did not qualify to present their votes first, as those delegations will be boarding the first flight out of Veronica. We will try to keep the highest-scoring countries at the venue as long as possible until the winner is announced, however, none of us know what the results are, so I can’t guarantee anything. You will announce your votes when I tell you to announce your votes. Understood?

AND IF ANYONE SAYS THEY ARE FLOPPING WHILE THEY ARE IN THE TOP HALF OF THE SCOREBOARD, THEY WILL FACE MY WRATH! LEAVE THAT CRAP IN THE CHART FORUM!

I wish everyone the best of luck, and to whoever is the host of 162, please spare us from repeating this disaster. Thank you.

I‘m crossing fingers for Jupiterdonia, Hendinia and I wouldn‘t mind either if Cor Lupus wins.

Not sure what to expect this time, may well be a bit niche to catch on, but hopefully a decent result to continue my good run of form x

Here for Fat Dog to slay this hopefully x

Posted by: Brer 28th January 2024, 06:55 PM

Off to a great start there, thank you Rollo for a first medal already (I had hoped this one would be up your street) and Mack

It's always reassuring seeing an entry as pop as Mi Amor do well, I think the listening party things sometimes make me doubt pure bubblegum kinda pop but there's still a huge audience and it's a great song

Posted by: Cody Cranston 28th January 2024, 07:53 PM

Thanks for the points, Rich.

Posted by: Jade 28th January 2024, 08:04 PM

I did suggest twst as a winner contender on SyncTube but was a little concerned that other reactions weren't as enthusiastic as mine glad it's smashing so far!

Thanks uhsting for double-figure points really shocked to be in the top 5.

Posted by: Brer 28th January 2024, 08:05 PM

Oh I see Hendinia now x

(nice at Jadakissnia and Séyetana moving up as well - actually the latter being a contender kinda makes sense, not really considered it but would be great if that does smash x)

Unexpected points from Sovarasma. And also some frm Hendinia. Thank you guys

Posted by: gooddelta 28th January 2024, 08:08 PM

Quite the flop so far after the early votes brought 75% of our votes so far! Thank you to Dandy* earlier though, and Bronzil.

Wow at Bøtanikkä, it makes sense that there's a couple of strong pop songs at the top as the pop was really slim pickings this time, so it makes sense that people have congregated around the really good ones (it was so close to my vote).

Posted by: jimwatts 28th January 2024, 08:09 PM

Thanks RFC for the point (and apologies for ending Metric's 100% top 20 record as it stands), hope this isn't the last from Utopia

Posted by: calxyum 28th January 2024, 08:10 PM

wow was not expecting to flop this hard

am SHOCKED to see Bøtanikkä doing this well (but I’m not mad about it)

Posted by: gooddelta 28th January 2024, 08:10 PM

Honoured to be in the final Utopian vote for a while </3 Thanks Mark and all the best.

Thanks RFC <3 I hope it won't be toooo long until we see you participating again but pleased to have impressed you enough with my last entry before your semi (hopefully) retirement x (especially with it allowing me to cheekily overtake Aeroche x)

(gonna be multitasking for a lil bit again now so sorry if I go quiet x)

Posted by: Y'all Starlight 28th January 2024, 08:12 PM

Thanks RFC! It'll be sad without Utopia but I hope they will return one day

Posted by: Addy! 28th January 2024, 08:13 PM

I must say though all the pop nations are being revealed now and I have a feeling the votes soon will stall for Dolly's!!!

Conor I've only just noticed your 13-pointer is missing So I'm going to give your 12-1 an extra point each but you may want to send me a revised vote if you see this (unless the mods have a different protocol for this!)

Posted by: RobBot 28th January 2024, 08:41 PM

The wheels really came off that lead since the last scoreboard, huh?

Posted by: Brer 28th January 2024, 08:41 PM

If Conor is around to very quickly correct then he still can but failing that yes just move everything up one!

Shame that Travis wasn't feeling Mi Amor as I was counting him as one of 'pop' hoe!!!

so now with what's left to vote it's really going to be Sovarasma V Cor Lupus as I predicted in odds thread!!!

Poor brave Bellydancing

Posted by: Chez Wombat 28th January 2024, 08:51 PM

Oops this is a bit of a flop, some countries I thought might like it snubbing it :x Guess I probably should've seen that coming with how many out-there entries there were this time.

Was preferring the scoreboard earlier, but good to see Fat Dog, Deathbrain and Sparks (!) proving so popular.

Posted by: Cody Cranston 28th January 2024, 08:52 PM

I don’t think I see myself getting a shit ton of points in the next few votes like the last couple updates but this has been nice so far!

At least I can’t be accused on misleading you with false hope this time, it was accurately judged on this occasion

Posted by: Brer 28th January 2024, 08:55 PM

blacksquare 3 each of silver and bronze now!

(done multitasking again now although I was mostly being snubbed throughout that period anyway )

Shocked at Dolly Style doing so well! It’s fantastic (obviously) but I totally discounted it as I thought it was a surefire flop.

Posted by: Cody Cranston 28th January 2024, 08:59 PM

if I miss the top 10 I’m free to post that “Greek god of disappointment” gif

Posted by: gooddelta 28th January 2024, 08:59 PM

Thanks Pestolia (a bronze <3) and Nelionoir!

Sovarasma was always going to be the 18 hoover this time but Cor Lupus and Bøtanikkä putting up a really good fight, interesting results! The pop voters having their say loudly on a couple of entries!

Posted by: *Ben* 28th January 2024, 09:00 PM

I saw he was sent already once. Where did it finish?

It's looking good for Fat Dog rn!

Posted by: Iz 🧊 28th January 2024, 09:15 PM

okay what will the points total for King Of The Slugs be now? *.*

is that 18s record in danger/gone already?

Posted by: RobBot 28th January 2024, 09:15 PM

My takeaway from this - good voting order manipulation Jordan, to disguise what is presumably going to be quite a lengthy lead judging by all these 18s

Posted by: Klumzee 28th January 2024, 09:15 PM

Well 👀

Also yaaas for Sovarasma!

Posted by: jimwatts 28th January 2024, 09:15 PM

Thanks Iz and Patrick!

Four 18s in a row - looks like we may be heading to Sovarasma

Posted by: Brer 28th January 2024, 09:16 PM

That's 9 18s for Fat Dog now so one away from the record and two more to beat it...

(my votes haven't been posted yet btw )

Also nice to see in the top 10 Cor Lupus, Botanikka, Jupiterdonia and Hendinia.

Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 28th January 2024, 09:28 PM

A bit gutted that Fljotavik have had another Top 5 with a song I was going to send twice in one year 😭 11th is decent though! Definitely Top 15 but not Top 10 seems to be a safe spot for me

Posted by: Iz 🧊 28th January 2024, 09:29 PM

354 points! Honestly such a hype track, I'm really pleased for it, well done uhsting. The Postal Service seeing Utopia to 2nd again is a very good result too.

It's been a couple of years since I had a top 10 I think so I'm ecstatic to have started the year off with one, thank you so much to everyone who pointed 'stargazing with you', really exceeded the expectations I had for it <3 time to become a breakcore nation full time

Loved the hosting Jordan, thank you for a really fun show all through!

Posted by: blacksquare 28th January 2024, 09:30 PM

Omg iconic ending

Posted by: Klumzee 28th January 2024, 09:31 PM

Was hoping INJI would do a little better considering she came 8th last time. But tbf it has done okay placement wise after looking dead set bottom 10 most the evening! Thank you Greenfroze and Rob for the 18s glad to see it has its big fans!

The top 10 is quite unexpected for me but big congratulations to Sovarasma of course! What a way to get a debut win x

Posted by: Jade 28th January 2024, 09:31 PM

Thanks Bré and Seven for the last minute boost! It did feel quite disappointing to experience a massive drought right after hitting a high of 5th place on the scoreboard but 19th isn't a bad start to the year at all, was fun to switch things up and happy Seycara found some big fans.

CONGRATS uhsting was one I knew and loved pre-contest but nothing else could've got my 18 really, deservedly stomped all over the competition with all of those golds! Your hosting is always a treat so very much looking forward to it if you're wanting to.

also voted for: Utopia, Danæviia, Abeltesfayeton, Séyetana + Hendinia in the top 10 this month, fabulous *.* Terra and Cumulonimbia way too low though.

Thank you Jordan for a wonderful hosting experience!

Posted by: Addy! 28th January 2024, 09:31 PM

ok phew.

7th is really more than I could ask for Dolly Style. I went through feeling at first that it will DNQ because it just felt being in very wrong and not so friendly pop semi. Then I thought it's going to finish bottom three in the finals , so thank you so much everyone seriously <3.

That top 10 looks so diverse in genres and it's great to see that anything could win these days <3.

And Jordan, it was great hosting and so punctual on time

Posted by: awardinary 28th January 2024, 09:32 PM

King of the BuzzJack Slugs!

Posted by: jimwatts 28th January 2024, 09:33 PM

Congrats Jack on a resounding first BJSC win! That's a fantastic top 10 generally with all the top 4 in my votes!

Happy to have kept Metric's proud 100% top 20 record intact, albeit with their lowest finish yet - hopefully at least it had some crossover appeal for those who aren't so familiar with them (I wondered if I should have gone with the same album's 'Who Would You Be For Me' which is even more pop).

Thank you Jordan for the excellent hosting!

Posted by: Danuary 28th January 2024, 09:38 PM

very well deserved for Sovarasma!!!

and wow at Danæviia getting a top five out of this I thought it had some potential as the song really commands your attention and had an instant emotional impact, not to mention piano balladry isn’t what we typically send so it had to take a very well written song to appeal this much. so glad it’s found some fans here.

yay in particular for Abelteafayeton, Cor Lupus, Seyetana and Jupiterdonia joining us in the top ten. shame Farc couldn’t - I thought they’d be a top five contender but oh well. Land of DW and Jadakissnia top 20 is most pleasing too. I thought Kath would’ve done better, that’s a shame.

thanks for a long awaited great hosting gig Jordan

Posted by: Brer 28th January 2024, 09:43 PM

This scoreboard is not quite 100% confirmed yet as I want to check with Jordan when he gets back to make sure it's not my error but I have Ojnoj 10 points higher (confident in that as there isn't a corresponding country missing 10 points in Jordan's scoreboard) and then Taahino 1 higher and Kathaldazia 1 lower (that might be my error, won't affect either of their positions either way though). Deductions and tiebreaks (or tiebreak singular as it were) are in place though. x

Don't think we got a correction from Conoria so their votes have just been left missing a 1 pointer.

Congrats Jack!!!!! Incredible result for Sovarasma, doing their thing and breaking records! A incredible high note for Utopia to end on, for now... Bladee coming in the top 3 remains iconic so congrats to Dandy for bagging another great finish. A great result for Cor Lupus & Danævila as well!

What a start to 2024, fantastic that Abeltesfayeton have hit a new peak in BJSC! My favourite entry to date so it's only right that it finished higher than any other of our past entries. Thanks to Doctor Blind, Dan, Kluminican Republic, Seven & Bré for the additional votes

Great hosting Jordan!

Posted by: Chez Wombat 28th January 2024, 09:47 PM

Not bottom 5 and passing 100, I'll take that I guess x I suppose this one was perhaps too much on the niche side and there was several other indie-leaning entries to take the hype away, but pleased to continue my final streak at least, thanks all for the votes!

My 18 winning is a great start to 2024 *.* Congrats to uhsting, I was hoping it could win but wasn't sure if huge hype from the Synctube crowd would translate to a win, but clearly that was enough! I see exactly why it got all those 18s, it's one of the most striking, epic songs I've heard in a long time and was love at first listen. Wonderful top 4 too (Will miss Utopia, but at least they ended on a high!) and great to see Abeltesfayeton in the top 10 too, just Persephonia from my medals missing and that didn't do too badly x

Thanks for the wonderful hosting, Jordan!

Posted by: gooddelta 28th January 2024, 09:52 PM

Huge congratulations Jack, quite the song, and quite the emphatic victory! Been a while since we've had a big win like that and loved Riser's presentation of all of the 18s at the end to keep us guessing. We look forward to our visit to Sovarasma!

Utopia 2nd is a really cool way to exit, I hadn't considered that or Fljótavík being in the top three at all Well done Mark and Dandy*!

Pleased that the gorgeous Ruined came 4th for Danæviia, nice that there's still an audience here for a quality ballad. And Cor Lupus a tiny bit lower than expected but not too far away from 2nd in terms of points.

Pleased to see Séyetana top ten, that was my favourite from them for a while. Would have liked to have seen Aeroche a little higher, hope they can break back into contention soon.

Really pleased with 25th, the first time we've landed there since we sent a pre-fame Example 15 years ago A rather subtle but lovely song to ease me into the new year. Not a hit but I'm happy with that - thanks to all the voters.

Great hosting Riser - thanks for your amazing effort

What a landslide! Congrats!

I hadn’t spotted that as a winner at all, even though I did like it… I actually thought I’d voted for it too but it seems as though I really did cut it out :/ Not that you needed my help in the end regardless - smashing the record for most 18s is super impressive

It kinda feels fitting that Utopia should exit with another second place at least it wasn’t close this time though. Was always going to get 18 from me so glad to see it do so well.

And wow at third. Obviously over the moon with that result. Thanks to everyone who voted for Xyguden, may he swoop down and transform your day into one filled with dancing happy snowmen

At least Cor Lupus held on to a top 5 hit. I really thought it was going to win quite comfortably but clearly I hadn’t spotted the Sovorasma hype building


Thanks again Jordan for hosting, it’s been great <3

Congratulations to uhsting, that was a great entry (2nd place in my own vote) and good to see Sparks finishing as high as 12th place.

Thanks to Riser for a fantastic hosting job.

A wee 18 points trade with Conoria there, Conoridonia alliance for the next one?

Congrats to the winner & thanks for the fabby hosting

Huge congrats to Jack!!! two contest wins in the span of a week for you is phenomenal stuff and so many points ahead too. It was such an unexpected pleasant surprise as on paper I didn't forsee that act or title to come out with such a striking and epic entry.

Pleased to see Danæviia, Séyetana and Bøtanikkä top 10 too.

Trifoksi deservedly as high as 12th too. What a unique track that was. Happy seeing Ojnoj, Zanmatony, Ben's Sanctuary and Persephonia top 20 as well and the hosts coming in at a decent 23rd as well as FSR Rontvia avoiding 27th also haha. Would have loved Spod to be higher but I guess it probably wasn't ever likely to avoid bottom 10 but avoiding bottom 5 is okay at least. Lovely retro track that one, very jolly!

Thanks for the superb hosting Jordan!

Yasss finally caught up!! I'm absolutely astonished to see this result and a landslide that I didn't expect at all! Thanks to all the 18 points and all the other points that I thanked earlier Thanks to Jordan for a fabulous first-time hosting too

Pleased to win BJSC for the first time, after my first participation as Why So Sirius some 4 years ago!! My old self would be laughing at the prospect of getting a podium spot, let alone winning! I will definitely cherish this finish and I really hope Sovarasma can deliver more bangers this year, and we surely have one prepared for BJSC 162!

Great to see Hendinia just getting the top 10 My curse almost struck for them again I was definitely expecting Conoria to finish a LOT higher, so I guess this kind of music style doesn't really echo with the BJSC demographic SHOCKED to see Kathaldazia outside of top 20. I thought it sounded big too! Dan got a well-deserved top 5 though As always, Greenfroze is ROBBED #EndGreenfrozeRacism

I will be in touch with the mods shortly about the dates, but I have something BIG planned Once again, thank you everyone and good night!

Posted by: seven. 28th January 2024, 11:25 PM

well these results have thrown me for a loop.....the best song actually winning (by nearly 100 points)? The Postal Service in 2nd?? Bladee in 3rd??? this is not the bjsc i know.....but it's the one we deserve!

congrats on the victory Sovarasma, King Of The Slugs is already one of the contest's most iconic winners <3 (and shoutout to Jordan ofc, unleashing all the 18s at the end = perfect hosting) great to see Slumlord getting that high too!

Trifoski claiming their highest result since Jumper in BJSC 147, another beneficiary of the voters' sudden glow up in taste? And to think we were just dicking around with this one......

Posted by: Ansel 28th January 2024, 11:43 PM

Congrats uhsting, huge-sounding song and it's been stuck in my head the last few days! Really solid results tbh, I voted for the top 4 plus a lot of the rest of the top ten. Shame to see Cumulonimbia and Greenfroze so low, and ngl I expected a little higher for myself but happy to take another brand new position in the sub-30s! Thanks Jordan for hosting

Posted by: Brer 29th January 2024, 12:42 AM

I do still want to do a final cross reference with Jordan's spreadsheet when it's done to be super sure but I started doing a quick run through and I think I already found all 3 of the discrepancies within the first 18 votes in the thread (so hooray that everything else seems to have been correct after that!), so I am going to tentatively say the scoreboard I posted is about 95% sure to be final now x

Couldn't really ask for a better start to the year than my 18 winning and so dominantly at that - who needs wide appeal when you can just absolutely demolish the record number of 18s (although to be fair 'King Of The Slugs' was only 3 away from having the most votes of any song in this contest too, Cor Lupus topping that category with 30 votes while Hendinia got 29 and Aeroche/Sovarasma both got 27). Just checking back and the previous record of 10 gold medals was first set exactly 10 years ago by Indila in BJSC 61 (since matched by Courtney Barnett in BJSC 74, Sigala in BJSC 76 and Confidence Man in BJSC 140) so right now is quite a satisfying time for that record to be rewritten! I had already heard this song but I think it's safe to say it almost certainly would have got my 18 even if it was entirely new to me as it was very instant for me the first time, it's such an insane and standout song even within the confines of the weirdo artsy post-punk subgenre it loosely fits into. Very much looking forward to Sovarasma hosting again and as winners for the first time *.*

Have to slightly feel for Utopia getting a second silver in a row (matching D'yermak'er on 4 2nd places without a win, one away from Kluminican Republic's record of 5) but at least it was nowhere even close this time unlike last contest haha. The Postal Service song did click with me a little bit more on my final listenthrough of the final but still not quite enough for more than a commiseration which does make me feel like a flop indie hag but still a good entry. I guess that leaves Fljótavík in line for a potential AQ next month since we're expecting Utopia to bow out for now - I hadn't spotted 'Yxguden' being in contention at all throughout the results so that was a real surprise on the final scoreboard but definitely a welcome one, we stan a Drain Gang banger and the rest of the top 5 is great as well, I did throw out Danæviia as a possible win contender on SyncTube so pleased to have been not too far off about that (position wise), obviously a very different song to 'King Of The Slugs' but honestly I feel it's quite a similar level of instantly striking. And I will accept 5th place for Cor Lupus, a great song but I would have felt a way if it had won as I've detailed already

Elsewhere in the top 10 brilliant to see Abeltesfayeton continuing to reach new heights (and one I did actually vote for this time unlike their first top 10, yay!) and Séyetana sneaking in there too, that was a really smart choice of entry, stylistically similar to the likes of Sewerslvt and Nyteout but still having a distinctly different flavour to it to avoid feeling like too much of a rehash. I wasn't massively keen on the other 3 in the top 10 but glad the pop bloc don't get completely crowded out in an otherwise very me-coded top 10

Kind of a shame Trifoski didn't actually end up staying top 10 after being at the top end of the scoreboard for so long but 12th is still much higher than I'd have predicted, also excellent to see Land of DW in the top 15, doing better than most of my entries in that kind of lane so my entry envy was justified + solid results for Aeroche (top 10 would have been nice for that too but nvm), Jadakissnia, Conoria (a more substantial new peak this time yay), Varakë and FSR Rontvia. I think the only entry that stands out to me as being robbed here is Terra Avium who definitely should not be floundering in the bottom 10 </3 (Pestolia should also be a decent bit higher though I didn't help with them falling just short of my own votes).

Overshadowed a bit by the record broken at the top of the scoreboard but Republic of Adonia have also broken new ground on the other end - even before their deduction, they have the first song to fall short of 40 points in the final under the current contest format (semi-finals + 18 point system in the final), the previous lowest was 45 or 47 excluding songs that had deductions. Intrigued to see the semi-final scoreboards to see how they managed to get through, guessing they may have had high points from one or two countries who didn't vote in the final (Lotunia seems likely?)

Finally commenting on my own result, I am really picking up this year where I left off last year as this is my second 20th place finish in a row! I guess that tracks, got a pretty good response on SyncTube but didn't get much discussion elsewhere so anonymous midtable result it is, still good to start the year with a top 20 just about anyway, I was just wanting a better start than my 39th place finish this time last year and that is firmly achieved. Not quite getting any gold medals this time but happy with a good haul of 6 medals in total, thanks again all who supported Re-TROS (also noting this is the 3rd time in the last 4 contests that Jadaphonia have finished next to each other *.*)

And thanks Jordan for a smooth first time hosting I got a few chuckles out of the Fyre Festival theme x

EAT SLUGS

Congrats uhsting! Also great to see FLJ high up there and Utopia getting another medal so soon! Also congrats to Seyetana for their first top 10 in a while! Republic of Adonia is the one that I feel is specifically robbed but Varakë should have also finished higher

Yay for another 5th after never placing there for years! Glad to see my first rock-ish entry in a while perform well! Thanks so much to everyone who voted!

I can confirm that Bray's scoreboard is correct!

Thanks for the kind comments too. Yes, I did make an effort to keep the suspense for as long as I could, but I didn't know Fat Dog was going to have such a landslide win (I didn't count their points ahead of time) or realize they broke a record for most 18s. So it looks like I put more thought into the reveal order than I actually did, but I'm glad it had the desired effect

Posted by: jimwatts 29th January 2024, 07:27 AM

Aw a shame Lotunia couldn't vote in the final, a 4 in the semi may have meant first final points were on the way, and a 6 from Sombrero too - meanwhile the 18 from FARC seems to have come out of nowhere!

Posted by: gooddelta 29th January 2024, 08:21 AM

That must be my luckiest qualification ever, gah. Only getting in due to a deduction AND having to win a tie-break.

Then again, on paper Semi 2 looked a lot more favourable for it (all the people I anticipated might well vote for it in Semi 2 did) so I’m not too surprised it ended up doing significantly better than projected in the final.

Phew - not the way I’d like to qualify at all but I’ve been on the wrong side of tie-breaks plenty too. Will try and up my game next month!

Posted by: Dobbo 29th January 2024, 09:17 AM

Congrats uhsting, I didn't realise that was your first win I thought you had one already. Must admit I'm pretty bemused by that landslide though the song completely passed me by on listenthrough so maybe I'll give it another spin. Thought I suspect this is just another case of me being completely against the grain like with Confidence Man when that dominated.

My top 2 finishing in the top 5 is rather pleasing, especially 3rd for Evian Christ. In fact looking at the scoreboard I can't say any of my faves underperformed as all but one of votes (and that was only my 2-pointer) finished in the top half very unusually lop-sided there but we take it!

Thanks to the votes for Imperio, a couple of 18s thrown in there too shame I didn't quite get the unique position requested but only a second time placing 29th.

Thanks also to Riser for a good job hosting.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 29th January 2024, 12:16 PM

Delighted with another second, no chance of having any disappointment this time being so far off the lead. Two top 3 finishes in 107 contests followed by 2 in 2!

Not sure how many of the biggest scores I'll have actually introduced The Postal Service to but still great to see them finish so high up, certainly in my top 5 albums of all time so amazing to see them appreciated.

A great set of results, voted for the winner and 9 of the top 14 - was good to follow, fab hosting, Riser!

I'm sure I'll be back sporadically, although tempted by an AQ chance

Posted by: dhwe 29th January 2024, 12:49 PM

sorry I missed this, think I need a break from BJSC until I get my real life affairs in order and I can actually fully participate. but so so happy for RFC and the postal service getting second, my favorite track from them 💕

Posted by: k👠th 29th January 2024, 08:14 PM

Well done uhsting diva! Looking forward to what you have in store for the next contest

Thank-you Jordan for your fabulous hosting. This turned out to be a great edition in the end. Loving The Postal Service and especially Evian Christ on the podium. I thought I was doomed after that first quarter of results! Lots of lower scores and only 1 medal (ty Leww ). I was expecting a midtable result so happy with 21st !

Posted by: Doctor Blind 29th January 2024, 08:58 PM

Wow, incredible to see Fat Dog get the win for uhsting! I did think that was an obvious standout and highlight, but didn't even begin to dream that there would be so much love for it <3

That Top 5 is also incredibly close to my own votes too (it's v rare for me to vote for seven of the T10); both the Evian Christ and Fat Dog singles were hits on my personal chart late last year and the Neon Indian track was back in 2015 (narrowly missing out on #1 ) so I'm happy that managed to make the Top 10. 'down with landlords etc.'

Thanks Jordan for the hostings! Always fantastic to have a new winner as well- expectations are high for Sovarasma 162 and I have every confidence that they will be exceeded.

Posted by: Popchartfreak 30th January 2024, 11:00 AM

Thanks Jordan for the fab hosting, our tent was a luxury model and superior to our early days in BJSC when we were stuck in a cardboard box in pouring rain for well over 12 months-worth of contests, and having to sneak into the toilets in the venue to smarten up That Sheryl Crow track was a total winner with us, too, just as well we didn't enter Alarm Clock after musing about it a bit.

Uhsting wow at that landslide number of 18's!! It didnt tick our box this time but it might be a grower and that makes up for one of your former music charters (our entry Mehro) bombing so badly in the semis, keep on treading that unpredictable music route!

Poor Spitfire down t'bottom end, we will be charting it later this week as we are clearly a bit out of synch with BJ voters this time!
