38 countries submitted. Decades allocated. Now join us tonight as we reveal which decade each of the nations will be fighting for!
The nations will be revealed in alphabetical order with their chosen entry, and also revealing their selected entry for the opposite decade. Scandalous!
19 per side... but who will rock the 90s and who will nuke the 00s?
Starting: 18:15 BST

Oh, well RIP me sending my 90s song to a future contest if it wasn't in this (unless I just decide to do it stealthily xx). Kinda hoping I actually do get my 90s pick now in that case.

LOL I wanna say the same thing for my song choice...there is no way I could send my 90's choice in BJSC because of cheapness and if my '00 don't make it in this then I will just consider it in near future for regular contest.

Yeah basically the same for me but the other way round - my 00s choice isn't what I'd call 'cheap' necessarily but it's a pretty famous dubstep track (and a UK top 100 hit) and I generally try to send songs that are completely obscure to the main contest. Whereas my 90s choice I don't think many people would recognise at all (it's an album track, from an album which apparently was quite well-received critically but it wasn't exactly a commercial success) so it could easily be a main contest entry for me.

My 90's choice is actually a top 20 hit
'00 never charted anywhere lol.
And thinking about it now, the only way I could get away with my 90's choice is in BJSC 110 which it will be by 100th entry which it is giving me an idea of what to send when that time comes.
Posted by: Iz 15th April 2018, 05:05 PM
Oh I like that we get to find out what everyone's other choice was. Spirit of music discovery and I would guess because they're not competing they'll get forgotten fairly quickly if they were main contest ready.
Posted by: BridgeCow 15th April 2018, 05:06 PM

I remember hearing a few songs by Air being played in the arena before the concert when me and Jade went to see The xx, idk if this was one of them but they have a great vibe to them! Autechre would have been an awesome choice as well, I've been tempted to send them to BJSC in the past ;o
Safri Duo is the first of these songs that I have definitely heard (and that's not even in the contest), the running theme still seems to be 'less famous songs by artists who had big hits'

Friends Forever clearly won’t do well at all looking at the competition and the dance-heavy line-up so far but after nearly 20 years I still listen to the track near weekly and count it amongst my all-time top 100 <3

Tbh I'm not surprised at there being a fair few well-known songs here, the 90s and 00s dance anthem spinoffs were like this too (actually they were a lot 'worse' than this has been so far) - still plenty of good discoveries to be made anyway hopefully, and I shall have to check out a few of the ones that have missed out as well.

Like I said it's well-known within its niche if maybe not among the mainstream so I'm not surprised at Jeff and Dobbo already knowing it for example! I feel like maybe some people might recognise it when they hear it even if they don't know the title as well. It's probably like the single most famous 00s dubstep song lmaooo.

Thanks Leww...you did a wonderful job as usual.
I don't wanna sound like oh look at me I know everything but literally I am not familiar with only 4 songs ...I guess that's what happend when you're 35 year old lol.

Thanks for this Leww! You slayed at the whole presenting thing as ever x

Thanks very much for this reveal Leww - looking forward to going through all the songs properly
Posted by: King Rollo 15th April 2018, 06:56 PM
Thanks for that Lew. I know quite a few of them. Looking forward to hearing the ones I don't know.

Darude - Feel The Beat
YASSS
OMG Brooke Hogan!!! 'How's it going (Britney sex whisper) Paul Waaaalllll?'
Also like that Ethan salt dance song too
Glad I got the 00s! My original choice was VB - Not Such An Innocent Girl

Not sure this is gonna be a great spin off for me, I am not looking forward to hordes of 90s dance Hopefully I stand out with a Bollywood pop bop in that case but hmm x
Thanks for hosting this bit Lew, I love a good reveal thread!

Very happy at my 00s entry being picked, I spent a lot more time deciding what to send for that decade and Like a Pen is one of my favourite weird-but-amazing tracks out there

Ah! Like I said, I would have been happy whichever, because both my entries are imo at the pinnacle of j-rock (from anime).
But God Knows, I think I'm more happy with that, I think people are less likely to know it compared to Cruel Angel's Thesis, and it means I get to show off that utterly GORGEOUS guitar work in that song
I actually suspected that would be your 90s entry a classic and incredibly cheap

Thanks Lew
Some great tracks here I know some of them but I don't know most of them so I cant wait to hear.

Probably the second-cheapest thing after Pokemon to be quite honest. I've never even seen NGE (although it's one of those things I need to some point as a classic that shaped the medium) and I've known the song super well pretty much since getting into anime.

Was secretly hoping I'd get 90s but I'm very happy with my 00s choice, proper dance bop!!

Wait is this the song you mentioned as a potential for the main contest then? Hyped
Posted by: Queef of Peace 15th April 2018, 07:10 PM
Oops that's been on my potential list all year!

Yep Well there was a more Bollywoody less pop version from 2013 but I'd probs have sent this to main contest, this felt perfect for it though as it's always cool to deviate a bit in spin offs and experiment.

Oh no poor brave 'Nice Weather For Ducks'! I usually enjoy Röyksopp though so hopefully that'll be a good'un.
And I thought my (unchosen) 2000s entry was just a little bonkers

How have you never seen it? It's a classic, you have to. You totally appreciate a lot of other modern things that have been influenced by it too more after you've seen it

Gutted that we don't get Sweet Harmony Lewwww, it's another of my all time faves and the album it comes from is so good too.

So arguably one of the defining songs of the 90s (Common People) and my favourite track of all time didn’t get vetoed, even though it’s a huge #2 hit? Hmmmm! Who is Holland-Oats? I approve of their 00s choice!
I was really hoping I'd get 00s to champion We Are The People
Common People is a little bit cheap buttt it's generally one of the more forgettable 90s hits tbh, or at least within my groups
Also WOW at Check Yes Juliet absolute f***ing bop needs to win

Common People is one of the defining songs of the 90s, and the whole Britpop era. It had a massive cultural impact on release. I certainly don’t agre that it’s a forgettable 90s hit by any means!
