I believe so! I haven't tallied up total points received to date yet (which I plan on doing) but I'd imagine you'd be fairly high up cheer.gif

Summary:
The first contest of the year was won by Deandria with Allie X's 'Sanctuary'. We were overwhelmed by the result for our entry, finishing in the top 5 & becoming our first bona fide BJSC smash, the notoriously difficult achievement of cracking the top 10 was conquered in only our 4th contest.

To be honest I'm surprised it got the reaction it did! Looking back I'm thinking "did I really send that?" but hey I was enjoying it at the time & thought why the hell not laugh.gif

Summary:
The victory went to #00274E after a very close battle for the win all the way through the reveal (with ourselves included for a small part early on!) Despite dropping to an eventual 8th it was another excellent showing matching our BJSC 86 result & claiming our 5th top 10 of the year.

Did you just send the Bulgarian look-a-like for Selena Gomez? Because IT'S SO UNCANNY

Posted by: Ðøßßø 14th October 2016, 09:25 PM

Y'know I never even twigged that comparison there! And no, all my entries are purely sent on musical merit (IMHO tongue.gif)

this is very klingon chic with that title

Really have no idea where to go for the last contest of the year, though plenty of time to find something!

Posted by: Addy K!ng 19th October 2016, 06:36 PM

Yes cheer.gif

Thanks for the 18 and I swear I swapped 18 between Dara and Marusha a lot of times, so consider that Dara was equally my fave as well wub.gif

Posted by: Ðøßßø 20th October 2016, 07:51 AM

You're welcome it was only ever going to go to you again when the Semis were posted smile.gif

And I can't begrudge your 18 at ALL, definitely the best discovery I made last contest heart.gif

Summary:
Aeroche claimed victory in the final contest of the year to also finish at the top overall nation of 2016. Equalling our worst performance in a final, this was a big disappointment for us, especially after seeing the Semi results but 8 qualifiers out of 9 cannot be undermined!

I am amazed how both of us seem to always sent each others potentials kink.gif

EDIT:

I honestly thought it won't pass the veto once I saw Enya attached to it, even though she has 0 input in song lol.

Posted by: Dannoween 31st October 2016, 05:25 PM

yes we could be the Swedish House Mafia of BJSC!!!

but I'd rather we stay as separate countries so we can all enter a song each. tongue.gif

Posted by: Dobbo 26th November 2016, 06:10 PM

Will fill in the BJSC 90 post when full scoreboards posted.

In the mean time we excitingly have 8 songs in the reckoning for TBO! If any qualify remains to be seen but we hope you've enjoyed what we've had to offer this year biggrin.gif

Posted by: Dobbo 4th December 2016, 07:11 PM

So it was announced yesterday that 3 of our entries qualified! A big thanks to all supporters & we look forward to the final final.

Meanwhile over in Rejects we have just the one entry in the reckoning - The Violin Song. We hope it can exceed all odds!

Summary:
Ultraviolenceland took their first ever victory in the 2017 opener. It was to be an unlucky 13th contest for us with our worst performing entry to date (in terms of position) & obviously not the ideal start to the year! Nevertheless risks are what make the competition all the more fun & they can't always pay off.

Summary:
South Danaelanda achieved their first BJSC win with a storming victory. For ourselves whilst it was great to be back in a Final we were expecting a slightly better result. We have a couple of things in the pipeline for 93 which may raise a few eyebrows!

Posted by: danG 18th February 2017, 02:44 PM

I almost gave 'Flamenco' 12 points, but had to give it to 'River' really as I absolutely love that. At least you would have disqualified either way.

Don't love 'Love On Repeat' as much but I think it's another hit! Hopefully anyway as I predicted this year would belong to #DanDob

Posted by: Dobbo 18th February 2017, 06:09 PM

True that would have put me even closer to the cut-off too so would have been even more painful laugh.gif

Hoping for some better results for us both this time round!

Yep just missing out is the worst. Although it's been a while since I just missed out, I'll always remember losing a place in the final in BJSC 43 even though my song finished 15th because back in the day there'd sometimes only be 14 qualifiers but at other times 15. Fortunately it's standardised now at 20.

Summary:
Ultraviolenceland bounced right back to take their 2nd win in 3 contests. For ourselves, it was our best position of the year so far & best since BJSC 89 with DARA, this time the risk & switch up in sound paying off with our 6th top 20 finish in 15 contests.

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 12th March 2017, 11:22 PM

Oh I remember this from the Triple J playlist on YouTube! Interesting choice, should be a grower.

Posted by: Dobbo 12th March 2017, 11:28 PM

Ah, bizarrely I came across this thru a YT recommendation (must have played Never Be You Like/Say It or something hence the link). And yeah it was a huge grower for me too which could prove risky in this contest but why the heck not!

Looking ahead to 94 we are 90% sure of the entry we're sending which is a good position to be in at this stage. A spokesperson quoted it could well continue the trend thus far in 2017 of improving in each contest.

Thank you! It proved to be more popular across the board than I was expecting.

Very unsure on what to send for the next contest, sitting on 3 currently, one is pure pop (that would be a first), the other another dance banger, then a third which is somewhere in the middle!

Summary:
It was to be a first victory for Suedeonia with Bleachers - Don't Take The Money. This was our most displeasing DNQ to date, coming off the back of a good run of form & with a song generally tipped to progress & perform reasonably well. Nonetheless it is a learning curve for the nation & we will be back with a bang next time out!

This is proving to be a big grower for me, think I'm actually starting to like it even more than 'Jitter'! <3

Posted by: Dobbo 11th May 2017, 10:07 PM

Oh good! Yeah it's quite a contrast from my previous entry where I imagine one would know from the first listen if they loved or hated it laugh.gif


In other news there are wild scenes of celebration in Dobago thanks to this:



For those that remember our debut entry all about footballer John Guidetti, he has missed an absolute sitter to send United into the final cheer.gif

(Yeah despite entering a song about him we don't actually like this guy due to his previous City links)

Posted by: Cucumberella 14th May 2017, 05:56 PM

gutted about the DNQ for this sad.gif would've got BIG aeroche points in the final, it continues to grow even now!!!!

Posted by: Dobbo 14th May 2017, 09:07 PM

Ah that's good to hear at least, I'm glad there were some very vocal fans of this! Just fell the wrong side of the quali line.

P.S. loveee your entry this month, hoping for big things in the final!

Summary:
Daehun won the contest with the only entry to surpass 300 points. In our return to a final it was another very strong result, earning our best result of the year & our third 8th position overall. We can now begin to look up the YTD table rather than down it!

All up to date!

Sat on a few options for 97, could continue our alternate contest genre explorations or go with what would be our "rarest" entry to date.

Posted by: Cucumberella 20th July 2017, 09:44 PM

going from nothing in the semi to 13 points, how did that happen ohmy.gif

well done on another top 10, not vintage dobago for me but definitely makes up for the injustice last month!!!

Posted by: Dobbo 20th July 2017, 10:28 PM

Yeah a bit of an unusual one for me that! I did recollect the track from the time it first came out & wasn't overly fussed with it then nor initially here (had it ranked about 12th I think for the Semi) but it kept growing & especially after giving the full version a listen it just clicked massively heart.gif probably the most a song has grown from Semi to Final ever so far!

And thank you happy.gif we've certainly hit an inconsistent patch of late in terms of results. And yes still justice for Now!

Posted by: Capybréra 20th July 2017, 10:33 PM

I'm really just pretending it was 'Now' that hit the top 10 instead. That song has stuck with me great so far, has to be one in with a shot of big success in Rejects. heart.gif

Posted by: Faller 20th July 2017, 10:50 PM

I didn't realize we gave you your only 18! Definitely a surprise for me as I hadn't been a Lindsey Stirling fan prior to hearing this, not even 'Shatter Me'. It made more sense after I realized that Rooty is the same vocalist from my favorite Professor Green song biggrin.gif

Thanks very much for that biggrin.gif similar to myself really this was the first song of hers that I loved immediately. Have been meaning to get round to listen to some of her earlier stuff, Shatter Me is very strong too!

I saw that this also has an 'Offset Radio Edit' on Spotify and was a little disappointed to find out it's not Offset of Migos fame laugh.gif (but it has like 50x as many plays as the other versions so I think a lot of people might be falling for that trap...)

Posted by: Dobbo 12th August 2017, 09:04 PM

It's good to see this going down well! The Plug receptions were pretty good on both occasions too.

Quite possibly! I hadn't heard that version before (have done now & it's ok but definitely not as good as Jay Montero's) but I had heard the original version which is pretty damn poor in truth.

Posted by: Capybréra 12th August 2017, 09:15 PM

Oh yes the Jay Montero version is definitely far better than the other two. Not that you had much of a choice in which to send considering it's the only one that's on the Internet laugh.gif

Summary:
Medhelnia earned their maiden win in dominant fashion, running away with over a 100+ point advantage. Of course, this was not the result we wanted for our landmark 20th entry but absolutely no regrets in sending what is comfortably in the YTD top 10 of the country's national Chart.

As an overall summary for our first 20 contests we have to say we've had an extremely good run, with seven top 10s, nine top 20s & only four DNQ's - leaving a qualifying percentage of an impressive 80%. Our interest in the competition is as strong now as ever has been so here's to another 20 contests with hopefully some fine form and, you never know, a victory!

Apprehensive but excited for what is most likely to be our entry for 99. Not a subgenre we would say is widely lauded on this site but we think has the potential to garner some perhaps, unexpected fans? Only time will tell!

Summary:
Unovia achieved their first BJSC win with Francesca Michielin's Vulcano. Despite the overwhelmingly high odds & predictions we didn't quite live up to these this time, landing midtable in 20th position & matching Jungle's position from earlier this year. After seeing the hype build up we were eyeing another top 10 spot but we are still satisifed with a fifth top 20 of the year. Now it's all gung-ho for the last contest of the year, the historic 100th!

Posted by: Cucumberella 27th September 2017, 08:13 PM

another GREAT entry!

Posted by: 28 Brays Later 10th October 2017, 09:25 PM

Literally just clicked with me that this BigGreenPeugeot channel is probably owned by you lmao (I was wondering why you were farming entries from such a tiny channel twice in recent contests!!)

I'm just listening to the non-remixed versions of the remixes that were in BJSC 99, K-Warren did a great job here, the original version sounds so lifeless in comparison ohmy.gif This version is suchhh a banger though, really thought it was gonna be massive in the contest - I suppose 20th isn't too bad but deserved better for sure!

Posted by: HobDoblin 10th October 2017, 09:49 PM

Aha it is indeed one of my channels. I keep finding potentials (well, now entries) on YT compilations or on Spotify that annoyingly don't have their own individual uploads so have had to take matters into my own hands. It would have been the same situation for next month but fortunately some other random chap has done the job for me already kink.gif

When I heard the original of this I actually thought it was a pretty good pop track (definitely much better than the original BUT for example) but yeah this remix is still 100 times superior. I did think this had a decent shot at the top 10 but I can't be disappointed really, 5 top 20s in the last 7 contests I've just noticed so when I do qualify I seem to do reasonably well laugh.gif

Summary:
Clinching victory in the momentous contest was none other than Aeroche, achieving the EOY #1 nation again! After a strong start we endured the mother of all droughts & slipped to our lowest ever position in a final to date, albeit an expanded one. Nevertheless there is still much to be pleased with after another strong year of BJSC results without quite matching last year's highs. There will be a complete overhaul of the sending process next year as we get serious about challenging for that elusive victory.

All updated^


Talk about a lucky Semi draw, we received a grand total of TWO more points in the final than we did in the Semi (using the same pointing system) and just FOUR nations from the whole of Semi 2 voted for us laugh.gif so on a positive note we avoided our most disastrous showing to date in the most momentous of contests thanks to random.org cheer.gif

Stay tuned as we roll out some juicy EOY statistics over the coming days...

Posted by: D0bz 18th November 2017, 03:21 PM

POINTS RECEIVED:

So these are the nations that loved us the most this year, with a bit of added commentary for the top 10.


1. Bøtanikkä (59 points)
Climbing to #1 this year, Bøtanikkä were our biggest fans cheer.gif (unfortunately we are unable to say the same back again this year, more on that later). They pointed 6 out of our 7 total finalists in 2017, the only exception being Q-Benjamin in 97. They overtook Cadelicia in the very last contest, the full complement of 18 points edging them ahead by a narrow margin of 2 points.
Highest received: 18 points [BJSC 100: Lia Rox - Hound (Bimbo Jones Vocal Club Mix)]


2. Cadelicia (57 points)
Another strong inlay of points from Cadelicia in 2017, also a nation to point us in all but one outing, this time being 93's Tash Sultana. They gave us the full maximum in the following 94 (for Mariko) and generally remained a consistent fan throughout the year, only being denied top spot by Bøtanikkä after the final contest.
Highest received: 18 points [BJSC 94: Sagi Abitbul - Mariko]


3. Desbuanda (47 points)
Rising all the way up to third this year is Desbunda, who feature this high despite only pointing 3 of our finalists! This thanks in part to being the only nation to send us 18 points on 2 occasions (in 94 & 97). A further 11 in 93 puts them very much into the "point big when point" category.
Highest received: 18 points [BJSC 94: Sagi Abitbul - Mariko & BJSC 97: Q-Benjamin - BUT (You Got Something) (Jay Montero Edit)]


4. Aeroche (45 points)
The #1 nation of 2017 also turned into a more prominent Dobago fan this year, pointing over half of our finalists and when doing so, normally pointing big including a hefty haul of 39 points in our last 3 finals.
Highest received: 15 points [BJSC 99: Lydia Singer - Push Bang Bang (K. Warren's Ukg Mix)]


5. South Danaelanda (44 points)
Our biggest fans last year slide to 5th this time round, however they likely would have been higher had our first entry of the year Flamenco qualified as we know they were a big fan of that! Nonetheless S DNLD were the last of 3 countries to point us in all but one contest, their exception being 96's Lindsey Stirling.
Highest received: 13 points [BJSC 92: Dave Ramone (feat. Minelli) - Love On Repeat (Filatov & Karas Remix)]


6. Harmonica (43 points)
A nation we weren't expecting to see so high but are extremely pleased they feature here are Harmonica. Very much similar to Desbuanda, just the 3 finalists were pointed but they were all large hauls, including a full maximum in 96.
Highest received: 18 points [BJSC 96: Lindsey Stirling (feat. Rooty) - Love's Just A Feeling]


7. Cor Lupus (42 points)
Now a long-standing Dobago fan in the form of Cor Lupus, pointing 5 of our 7 finalists this year. They were our third highest pointers last year & could very well have been up there this year too, as our fallen hero DJ Yakir Ganon received healthy points from them in its respective Semi & potentially were on course for a nice chunk had he qualified.
Highest received: 12 points: [BJSC 99: Lydia Singer - Push Bang Bang (K. Warren's Ukg Mix)]


8. St. Burbia (41 points, 4 contests)
Rising into the top 10 this year we see St. Burbia, a nation we have shared strong points with to & fro in recent times. They just edge ahead of Buzzjack Mountain by virtue of pointing one more finalist and were in fact featuring in the top 3 before 2 blanks in the last contests.
Highest received: 12 points: [BJSC 94: Sagi Abitbul - Mariko]


9. Buzzjack Mountain (41 points, 3 contests)
The newest nation to appear in our top 10, Buzzjack Mountain didn't point us in either of their finals last year but offered us strong support on 3 occasions this year, including a surge of 23 points in the last 2 contests, propelling them up into the top 10 here.
Highest received: 18 points: [BJSC 94: Sagi Abitbul - Mariko]


10. Bhangra (36 points, 5 contests)
Rounding off the top 10 & just edging ahead of the now sadly defunct Zanmatony by virtue of pointing us on 2 more occasions are Bhangra. They were one of only five countries to point us in at least 5 finals this year & proved a steady supply of points without any top, top scores.
Highest received: 11 points: [BJSC 92: Dave Ramone (feat. Minelli) - Love On Repeat (Filatov & Karas Remix) & BJSC 93: Tash Sultana - Jungle]

I also would have possibly pointed Flamenco had that qualified </3 J’amila proved itself to be quite a grower as well so you’re definitely right about that.

Ah that's good to hear. I'm hoping either one of these qualifies in rejects but I can't see Flamenco having much of a chance.


Coming up next is Points Given so stay tuned!

Posted by: D0bz 25th November 2017, 03:38 PM

POINTS GIVEN:

Next we have the nations that we ourselves loved the most in 2017, again with some footnotes for the top 10.


1. Aeroche (84 points)
In the end, finishing comfortably out in front, are Aeroche. Despite not receiving points from us in 3 of the first 4 contests they then racked up 6 straight hauls in succession, 5 of those being double digits & including an 18 for their BJSC 98 entry, Born Ready. Extremely consistent, we can see this run extending into 2018 and perhaps breaking a national record (of one we haven't got an archive of for consecutive points as of yet).
Highest given: 18 points [BJSC 98: Disco Fries (feat. Hope Murphy) - Born Ready (Halogen Mix)]
Fave entry: BJSC 93 [Dux Content ~ Snow Globe]


2. South Danaelanda (60 points)
Unsurprisingly, our good allies S DNLD feature extremely high up this list. Starting off the year in blistering form with 42 points offered in the first 3 contests, the tally was rather more modest for the rest of the year, although it should be noted they would have only finished 3 points behind Aeroche in this list had their 98 entry, Tu Conmigo qualified as that would have been a slam-dunk 18 points from us.
Highest given: 15 points [BJSC 91: Aly & Fila meets Roger Shah and Susana - Unbreakable & BJSC 93: DJ Mangoo ~ Eurodancer]
Fave entry: BJSC 93 [DJ Mangoo ~ Eurodancer]


3. Summericia (44 points)
Storming into the top 3 this year are Summericia, despite only qualifying for 5 finals. We pointed them in all but one of those (BJSC 94) and received a full 18 in the penultimate contest. Also worth mentioning that had their final entry of the year, Dance With The Dragon, qualified then they would have achieved second on this list & become the first nation to receive back to back 18's from us!
Highest given: 18 points [BJSC 99: ERA - Ameno (Remix)]
Fave entry: BJSC 99 [ERA - Ameno (Remix)]


4. Zanmatony (43 points)
The newest & now defunct (cry.gif) nation in the top 10 of Zanmatony came flying out of the blocks in 2017 with 33 points from the first 2 contests. We only went on to point them on one more occasion but that enormous lead at the start helps them comfortably feature in this segment. One of their DNQ's, Touched By The Sun, would have been an extremely strong contender for our 18 in its respective contest so they can count themselves unlucky in that sense to not be further up here.
Highest given: 18 points [BJSC 91: Yellow Claw - Love & War (feat. Yade Lauren)]
Fave entry: BJSC 91 [Yellow Claw - Love & War (feat. Yade Lauren)]


5. Persephonia (41 points)
The fifth & final country to exceed 40 points are Persephonia who far outdo their 2016 pointage from us, with 5 offerings out of their 8 finals. They just missed out on our top 3 songs on 2 occasions but the steady scoring proves crucial here, as only the top 2 on this list were pointed on more occasions.
Highest given: 12 points [BJSC 91: xi - Happy End Of The World & BJSC 94: Knarsetand – Bad Trip]
Fave entry: BJSC 94 [Knarsetand – Bad Trip]


6. FSR Rontvia (38 points, 4 contests)
It was a very strong year for one of the inaugural contest nations from a Dobagan respective, as FSR Rontvia just edge out Kluminican Republic by virtue of an extra contest receiving points from us, albeit just the one! Their 97 entry, Danse Avec Moi, proved a differential too as one of our 18's this year. We hope the quality continues into 2018!
Highest given: 18 points [BJSC 97: Kosmonova - Danse Avec Moi!]
Fave entry: BJSC 97 [Kosmonova - Danse Avec Moi!]


7. Kluminican Republic (38 points, 3 contests)
Also entering some superb entries this year we have Kluminican Republic. We only pointed them in 3 out of their 8 finals but they were all with scores of 9 or greater, including the final 18-pointer from us this year in Butterfly. Although we have to add here that it is in fact their BJSC 93 entry, Jenny that was comfortably our fave from them, despite only getting 11 points from us at the time it has since blossomed into one of the best of the year so considerate that an honorary belated second 18!
Highest given: 18 points [BJSC 100: Smile - Butterfly]
Fave entry: BJSC 93 [Studio Killers ~ Jenny]


8. Terra Avium (37 points, 4 contests, higher average [6.17])
We have to go to very long lengths to separate 8th & 9th, with Terra just squeezing ahead on the basis that we pointed 4 of their 6 finalists as opposed to 4 of Hendinia's 9. Our highlight from them this year was most certainly the wonderful drum & bass instrumental they entered to 99 by Ravel Nightstar. It was extremely close between that & Ameno for our 18 that particular contest!
Highest given: 15 points [BJSC 99: Ravel Nightstar - The Drums and Bass of Flower Bless]
Fave entry: BJSC 99 [Ravel Nightstar - The Drums and Bass of Flower Bless]


9. Hendinia (37 points, 4 contests, lower average [4.11])
Hendinia had a very successful year in 2017 and although we weren't big fans of certain entries from them they received 3 double-digit hauls from us including back to back 12's in 98 & 99 which charged them up the leaderboard into an eventual ninth position here.
Highest given: 12 points [BJSC 98: Elohim - Eclipse & BJSC 99: Burak Yeter & Ryan Riback - Go 2.0]
Fave entry: BJSC 99 [Burak Yeter & Ryan Riback - Go 2.0]


10. Altyr Muunilinst (35 points)
Rounding out this list's top 10 are Altyr Muunilinst, another nation we pointed on 4 occasions in 2017. They only suffered one DNQ this year and the clear nation's fave was the outstanding Jag Trodde Änglarna Fanns from 96, which is a strong contender for our fave entry of the whole season! The 2 points we supplied in the final contest just pushed out St. Burbia from the top 10 here.
Highest given: 18 points [BJSC 96: Kamferdrops - Jag Trodde Änglarna Fanns]
Fave entry: BJSC 96 [Kamferdrops - Jag Trodde Änglarna Fanns]

only being beaten by the mighty Aeroche who were #1 on my list by a mile, is good to see!

Posted by: Brébino 25th November 2017, 04:05 PM

*.* I feel a little bad for my lack of points returned to you (apart from a handful for Lydia Singer) in light of that oops! Although to be fair 2 of your entries that I'd definitely have voted for DNQed (Grace Mitchell would have been close to the top for me and Will Sparks would have got a good few points as well) and Sagi Abitbul and Q-Benjamin were both commiserations so me only giving you 4 points for the year feels slightly misleading ;o

Not to worry, pretty sure last year it was the other way round in the points department! Sometimes that's just the way it all pans out, tho looking at you for support in Rejects of course for those 2 tracks you mentioned wink.gif

Posted by: Dobservance 14th December 2017, 11:12 PM

So for the second year running we are proud to have a representative in TBO Finalé! Thanks to all supporters of Mariko & we eagerly wait to see if it can improve on Don't Be So Shy's showing last year round.

As if this came second-last in the semi in its original contest. Justice needed for this brilliant instrumental!


In other news, our BJSC 95 entrant Grace Mitchell is our sole represent in this years Rejects final. If you like the song please support it.

Dobago instrumental entries still proving to always be good value! Fingers crossed this one can do quite well for you music.gif (a little conscious of it being separated from a lot of the dance bloc in this semi but I hope it should be able to make it nonetheless!)

Posted by: Dobbo 11th March 2018, 10:31 AM

102 all filled in^

It did indeed do very well! Easily my most successful instrumental to date and I've just discovered it actually finished 9th in the Semi, meaning I have every position in the top 10 now bar 1st. It is also my second entry to improve its position from Semi to Final.

In other significant news for the nation we were in fact invited to host the next contest however due to circumstances & timing (i.e. a long holiday) we will not only be turning down this offer to host but will be sitting out BJSC 103 completely. We will see you back next month!

So as it turns out, we are in fact partaking in the latest contest - and since this marks our landmark Silver 25th we've gone back to the Dobagan roots, or should that be strings in our language. Also, back-to-back instrumentals!

Really glad you were able to enter in the end, because it dawned on me earlier that this was actually a brief Jadakissnia potential in 2015 when I was still finding my feet ohmy.gif was going to send it if I ever got an AQ at the time but I ended up totally forgetting about it. The contest has evolved a lot in a few years so I imagine this would be able to qualify nowadays, it certainly stands out and has held up beautifully. Best of luck *.*

Posted by: Bré 26th March 2018, 01:50 AM

Really glad you were able to enter this contest in the end as this is an absolute beauty heart.gif in a sense an unexpected Dobago entry but I suppose it's not massively thematically dissimilar to the likes of Mahmut Orhan and Farhad Mahdavi from Club Bizarre, just less dancey. x

Posted by: Dobbo 28th March 2018, 11:52 PM

Good to have the Brade seal of approval! Yeah it is a bit different but fancied entering this for a landmark contest, it sure does stick out so really have no idea where it'll place.

Posted by: Dobbo 15th April 2018, 08:49 PM

So we have gone WAY out of the box in this contest & sent a ballad ohmy.gif but it's a very GOOD one if you don't mind us saying!

Yes I definitely get strong 'Strobe' vibes from this (which ironically I wasn't even a huge fan of until it was entered in the contest last year & I heard the full 11 min version which I hadn't previously experienced).

Ultimately very pleased with the result for a *reasonably* risky entry although being top 10 almost the whole reveal got me a little excited to perhaps finish in yet another 8th place! But as we said the standard was SO high last contest we can allow it wink.gif

Torn between 3 choices for 107, thinking of leaving the one for our 30th contest next month so it's down to 2 - both with vocals for once!

So it just so follows that our tenth entry into the main contest also happens to be our tenth entered into a special/spin-off! Without question my favourite personal entry ever (and that is some high praise believe me) we bring back to you...


Posted by: Dob Geldof 28th October 2018, 01:33 PM

Interesting stats last contest for us, actually a very strong semi performance finishing in 9th - that's the same position Choir 1.0 managed yet that went on to finish 8th in the final but Speed could only race to 32nd. Almost all of its fans were in Semi 1 so we were dealt a lucky hand there for sure!

99.9% certain on our final entry of this underwhelming season - it will be a 7+ min instrumental that probably only 2 other participants will like but it's perhaps the best song I've discovered this year so there's no way I can sit on it till 2019.

Top 10 Points Received 2018:

1. Land of DW [57]
2. Skall [53]
3. Quintessa [47 - four votes, one +18]
4. South Danaelanda [47 - four votes, no +18s]
5. Rolloland [46 - six votes]
6. Cowtermont [46 - four votes]
7. Bøtanikkä [42]
8. Suedeonia [39]
9. Espen [38]
10. Terra Avium [37]


This was interesting to compile this year as unlike last year I had no general clue about which nations pointed us the most. Land of DW were our biggest fans of 2018, a stark contrast to 2017 where they only pointed us once! Similarly Skall who didn't point any of our finalists last year finished a close 2nd. Quintessa very narrowly edge out South Danaelanda for 3rd. Cadelicia & Desbuanda, who were in 2nd & 3rd place last year, finish 18th & 43rd respectively. Land of DW, Skall & Rolloland were the only nations to point all 6 of ours finalists in 2018.

Top 10 Points Given 2018:

1. Cowtermont [98]
2. South Danaelanda [63 - eight votes]
3. Persephonia [63 - six votes]
4. Thelonia [54]
5. Bøtanikkä [53]
6. Land of DW [45]
7. Summericia [44]
8. Tinnmark [40]
9. Cadelicia [39]
10. Jadakissnia [38]


Absolutely no contest in this list once again this year, this time with Cowtermont sailing away into the distance, helped by no fewer than five medal positions awarded by us to them. South Danaelanda & Persephonia, who both also featured in our top 5 last year, head the rest above usual dancebloc suspects. Land of DW experience a huge rise in this list too as do Thelonia, both recieivng less than 10 points from us last year but sit comfortably in our top 10 this time round. Our favourite nation of last year, Aeroche, drop to 14th. South Danaelanda received points from us on the most occasions, a total of 8 times.

You may have realised it but this is a DNLD recycle magic.gif He was featured on my entry 'Unbreakable' as Roger Shah. Good to see him back!

Posted by: dobbo 4th April 2019, 09:20 PM

Ahh I KNEW I recognised the name from somewhere & that would indeed be it - so it was in fact an unaware recycle! Indeed, one of my fave entries of yours so good to have him waving another of the dancebloc's flags.

Posted by: danG 4th April 2019, 09:35 PM

and interestingly, your entry of his pre-dates mine by ten years but was entered over two years later.

Posted by: dobbo 18th April 2019, 06:13 PM

Another strong performance means we've got off to a rather decent start in 2019! Quirky stat time - White Sand is our first ever entry to receive at least one of every possible score in the final.

Worth noting the last time we finished 14th we followed it up with 2 DNQs, let's not do that again.

I was kinda ready to write this off as just another unspectacular trance track after the first couple of minutes but it really gets great from the part where the vocals come in onwards! (could probably have done with a shorter version that gets to that part quicker oops xx)

I agree the vocal part onwards is better but the long build-up makes me appreciate it even more!

Thank you for the geographical correction! I'm not a big fan of the radio edit of this entry myself, faaar too short - plus starting with the vocal part? Nana...

Posted by: danG 9th May 2019, 01:27 PM

The vocal doesn’t come in until a minute in, in the Spotify 4 minute radio edit. I don’t mean the 3 minute YouTube version!

Anyway, you’ll get the same points from me whatever length it is.

Posted by: dobbo 9th May 2019, 03:11 PM

Ooh my mistake I hadn't even heard the shorter spotify version. And that's most pleasing :-D

Posted by: dobbo 21st May 2019, 07:17 PM

We scored a Ronnie O'Sullivan to land in 25th, not too shabby for a 8min trance epic.

Interestingly we have a 100% qualifying record so far in 2019 which is the longest we've stretched into a year from the start. Added to that we're on a 6-entry streak which matches our personal best (set in our first 6 participations).

There has been a bit of forward planning in the works in the Dobagan authorities so we are currently set on our next 2 main contest entries as it stands (and a BJFest if that takes place this year). Plenty of scope for alteration yet however!

And that was absolutely nailed on not to happen the moment we received our first ever veto nocheer.gif

We DNQ'd in spectacular style, managing to send an even less popular entry than Ya Jamula.


There has since been a reshuffle of the Dobagan entry committee as authorities seek to recapture the 2016 glory days of the nation.

This was a potential for me a year ago, I was never brave enough to send it so props to you for doing so! A Unovia-hosted contest is perfect for it of course.

Posted by: dobbo 23rd November 2019, 10:44 AM

Yes I actually had it on the backburners for a while myself. I was potentially saving it for a PFSC but then I remembered they'd had a Country edition already so into the big one it goes. And like you mention, what better nation to send this into!

In what turned out to be a very close battle for our biggest fans of 2019 it is Thelonia who just edge Bøtanikkä by virtue of one more vote. This is the first time Thelonia top this particular list having in fact not even featured in the top 10 in either of 2017 or 2018. Bøtanikkä meanwhile were our biggest fans in 2017 then dropped to 7th last year. Danæviia (in their various guises) make the top 5 once again although interestingly have not given us a +18 since 2016. Cowtermont, Land of DW & Rolloland also all appear again this year after featuring in last year's top 10, with Rolloland once again being the country who voted us on the most occasions. They have in fact voted for 14 of our past 15 finalists, with BJSC 111's 'Taste Of Love' being the only exception. Cadelicia return for 2019 after previously finishing runners-up 2 years ago. 'White Sand' proved to be very popular among our biggest fans with 5 of the top 10 pointing it as their highest.

We lose Skall, Quintessa, Suedeonia, Espen & Terra Avium from last year's top 10 with Terra Avium featuring the highest (at #13) & Quintessa/Espen the lowest (joint 46th). The biggest positive discrepancy (i.e. we owe you one next year wink.gif) this year was with Land of DW as we only offered them 7 points in return, a points gap of 43, however it should be noted that their DNQ 'Trip To Ireland' was among our favourite entries of the entire year and would have been a nailed-on +18 had it featured in the final. Narrowly missing out on featuring in this list were Oslol (41 points) & Aelandor (40 points). A grand total of 61 different countries pointed us this year with a combined points score of 1421.

After finishing runners-up 2 years on the trot Danæviia finally ascend to top spot on this list. They were the only nation we gave our +18 to more than once and also received the most votes with us voting for 7 of their 8 finalists (with only last contest's 'Changed' missing out on any points). Thelonia & Bøtanikkä both see rises up to 2nd & 4th respectively meaning the same 3 nations feature in both lists' top 4. The significant standout in this list is Kluminican Republic, receiving our third highest points in 2019 despite not pointing a single one of our entries in return this year ohmy.gif Last year's runaway winners Cowtermont drop to 7th this time round.

There are 6 swaps in the list from last year: Persephonia, Land of DW, Summericia, Tinnmark, Cadelicia & Jadakissnia all depart with Persephonia the highest of these at 13th and of DW the lowest in 50th. As mentioned the largest negative points discrepancy was comfortably Kluminican Republic's 56 points. Budtar & Beaverdonia were the only other nations we gave over 10 points to whom didn't point us back in 2019. Just missing this list this year are Budtar (33 points) & Quintessa (32 points). In a very satisfying coincidence, we also gave points to 61 countries and the default 1240 points offered means we finished 2019 with a total positive points advantage of 181.

So turns out we did indeed set a new record for 18s received with a hefty 5! Additionally 10 medal positions is a record. Lol at over half our votes being medal positions, not sure if that's some sort of quirky and unusual record.

Keeping in mind the next contest may be starting soon Dobagan authorities are already mulling over how to follow up MASTER BOOT RECORDS's successful outing.

Following them narrowly missing out on the #1 spot last year by a single vote, Bøtanikkä comfortably take the crown in 2020. They voted for 5 out of 6 of our finalists, the only other country to do so being Terra Avium who actually miss the top 10 here despite that. Strong ally Rolloland move up from their 6th place last year into 2nd followed jointly by Aelandor & East Rukahavian who both make their first appearance in our yearly top 10 fanbase.

Suedeonia return to the top in 5th place to better their 8th place in 2018 whilst Trifoski appear for the first time just behind. Persephonia remain in the same position as last year. Regular stalwarts Danæviia finish in 8th, unsurprisingly the only country other than Bøtanikkä to feature every year. The top 10 is rounded out by Utopia & Niceland who also both make their first appearances in this list.

Just missing the top 10 this year are Cor Lupus & Thelonia who both provided us with 31 points, the former from just 2 votes. The latter, along with Cowtermont, Land of DW, Cadelicia, Flynnonda & FSR Rontvia all fall out of the top 10 from last year.

7 of the top 10 had BAYAREA.BMP as their favourite Dobago entry of 2020. As this was a much less successful year for the nation than previous, it only required 3 or 4 votes to feature in our top 10. A total of 47 countries voted for us.

great to see ourselves in the top 5 (and snap favourite entry too - it's got a ridiculous personal chart run for me, currently back in my top 20 alongside my other big fave of the year 'Afterglow' by Grum)
you didn't quite make my top 10 this year but still top 20.

Posted by: Dobbo. 8th January 2021, 04:15 PM

Yes it was your only finalist I pointed highly last year although I did really like Dystopia too.

Surprised I even made your top 20 with it being such an underwhelming year for Dobago. I think you're gonna like my entry this month tho tongue.gif

Greetings Dobago! hi.gif

Your entry this month is a great discovery for me! I have recently charted the ALPHA 9 remix of Good For Me by Above & Beyond which is excellent. This song you have entered is sounding very moving, and captures the essence of what dance music should be in this day and age. Truly great. wub.gif

Glad you're a fan Wardy! Might as well get round to updating this thread then...
