Was following along last night and despairing when we were down in joint last but 24th is decent in the end! Managed to sneak up right at the end! Thank you to all those who voted for it and in particular Lewis for the 18! Also very happy that Bhangra finished 23rd which is only one place off where I predicted them to finish (22nd)
 Quite a surprising top 10 but I'm glad to see some more out there and unusual entries getting some success. Even Jadakissnia and Rolloland which I didn't vote for in the top 10 I can appreciate their appeal! Also fantastic job on hosting Frank, you were such a pro-active host and did really well to keep the contest to it's original schedule which is an achievement in itself! Looking forward to the next time we touch down in the Land of DW! |

QUOTE(Iz 💀 @ Jan 23 2021, 02:33 PM)  while I gave it the longest odds I'm going to give the take that Skall will NOT be bottom 5. Thx for your confidence and for your 18 x Congrats Dan! One of my favourite entries of yours. The rest of the top 10 is a great bunch overall too. |

'Grats Dan, very good track. And we're off to a good start for 2021 winners! Here's hoping this year exceeds 2020's offerings.
Another top 10 (and yet another 8th!) is very pleasing for my beautiful entry, a big thanks to those to threw points its way. An 18 swap with the host! *virtual |

Great results, great winner!
Séye too low, Skall too low but quite a stellar top 10 for the most part. Really nice to read back on.

Another fun stat from this month: Tartford have the biggest regression from the semi-final (30 places lower than projected), in stark contrast to the last contest where they actually had the biggest improvement from the semi-final (Air going 22 places higher than projected).
The 30 place regression for 'Wrap Me Up' is the joint 2nd biggest ever (behind Isaac Dunbar's 'makeup drawer' which went -31). The return of poor brave Tartford! The biggest improvement from the semi this month (+26 for Just Kiddin) is also in the top 10 biggest of all time so we had some pretty polarised semis this time ~ |

A great dance track. What was the regression for my entry Salsa Me by Spacetrain, which somehow won the semi before finishing 36th in the final? Are points totals or placings in the semis taken into account to work out the projected final position? |

Are points totals or placings in the semis taken into account to work out the projected final position? 'Salsa Me' was -29 which is the joint 4th biggest regression. I get these figures by just comparing the points totals from the semis (and using a single tiebreak across both semis, so a song with 80 points and 1 12 in semi 1 would be above a song with 80 points and no 12s in semi 2 etc.) - it's an inherently slightly flawed metric due to it being imbalanced when one semi has more voters than the other (and when there is a deduction involved on either end) but haven't cared to try and come up with any minor adjustments to that to make it fairer, it'd always be a slightly janky measure no matter what you do with it really, but it's still interesting to observe the extremes. |

Interesting, thanks. Yes, doing it your way makes sense. I guess doing it by positions only would ultimately mean nothing if the top five in one semi all scored higher than the winner of the other. The 'wrong semi effect' is always talked about but it stands to reason that many other songs are saved by being in exactly the right semi, sailing through with a fantastic finish only to find that nobody from the other semi cared for it at all and it would have been a DNQ in there. I guess that's the main catalyst for these major regressions, although no doubt some of the other entries simply find themselves unlucky enough to be marked down by most or all of their semi voters in the final. Some songs certainly sound amazing on first listen and then age quickly, while others go the opposite way. |

QUOTE(Bré @ Jan 24 2021, 07:15 AM) Dexton delivers the anticlimax of all anticlimaxes!!!  When is the Future? was literally the next song on my rank and only just missed out on votes too  It's taken me a few days to even read this thread but wow how exciting/unexciting for Holland-Oats, striving to be as unpredictable as possible  Instrumentals generally aren't my thing either but Storm is just so emotional and even as I was listening through for the first time, half-doing other jobs with BJSC in the background, I had to stop and listen to the whole song uninterrupted |
