So chances are higher to DNQ if you send shorter songs!!!

I think I rarely vote for super short entries as more often than not they're over before I have a chance to really form an opinion on them even if they are ones I enjoy the general aesthetic of! (That said, probably a bigger factor here is that a lot of those short DNQs are joke entries)

There are a few bangers on that list though, including the robbed 'Saxy Beast' and 'Mercury: Retrograde'.

Also yay for Saor still being in the top 10 longest finalists magic.gif (unless there are still at least 3 2 missing)

definitely does feel like with short songs there's very little to hold onto, I've found several short songs recently that I just wouldn't consider entering because it'll be over too quickly.

I also spotted one missing, never mentioned it in the last thread because that was 2015-present:

Nightwish - The Poet And The Pendulum {Utopia XXVII; 18} - it's 13:55

Thanks Dan! Just so you know some of these still say xyxy instead of the contest number. Edit: never mind, Bray explained it

^ I'm assuming that's because I haven't added in the contest numbers for anything past BJSC 140 in the songs of thread oop

(I'm overdue another day of feeling motivated enough to update stuff properly in my spreadsheet)

I can never seem to remember that W.I.T.C.H. is actually super short. If i had to guess, every time i would put it at 30 secs longer than it actually is.

The Spodic Empire place within the top 20 qualified longest entries. Rolloland's entry to the surprise of absolutely no one DNQed.

Could potentially get both the shortest and longest ever qualifiers this month *_* (though Don Salsa still a good half an hour off Arca's record for the longest overall entry)

2 entries to the Shortlist and 1 entry to the Longlist this month (the latter which ought to qualify for the bants as quite possibly the most batshit BJSC entry ever (or 2nd behind Don Salsa))

Is it statistically more likely to qualify with a longer song than a shorter song? Just curious for future reference.

well the stats are in the OP so you do the math tongue.gif

about 3 and a half minutes is the average runtime for a BJSC winner though for what that's worth (although all three of my winning entries have exceeded that by some way)

Saor no longer in the top 10 longest finalists </3 (although still behind 2 songs which were AQs #copium)

Btw the Songs of BJSC thread is up to date now (minus the last 2 contests) if you want to fill in the 'xyxy' placeholders x
