I imagine Ryan still has a list of the ones that won over on ChC, I think quite a few were female led weren't they? Stars definitely won there as well as here.

Off the top of my head I can remember Goose, PNAU (naturally!), Stars, Alex Gopher and Digitalism winning.

 

I won the final one with Robots In Love by Beautiful Small Machines (which was female led). The only other time I came top ten on there was with a Hot Puppies song which came 8th iirc.

I don't recall Andrea Corr winning either come to think of it :o It's one of the worst songs on her solo album :lol:

My best performance was also in the last one when I entered Sally Shapiro (was beaten by Beautiful Small Machines). Also finished top 5 iirc with tracks by Darude and Beck.

Sally Shapiro :wub:

 

 

edit: it gave away my entry for UPIII! :o

Was that after I left? I don't remember that.

 

Andrea Corr won the Unknown Pleasures: Covers competition. Streb wanted to do something different. Who won the language one?

Didn't you enter Mine All Mine at one point Rich?

The final UP was after you left - only a couple of months before ChC's abrupt end. Can't remember if it was Mark or dmlaw who hosted it though.

pretty shure i was natalie portman's shaved head

I've always found it quite remarkable how terrible ChC got towards the end. I'm surprised it didn't die sooner than it did. When did everything actually close?

There was a 3 day wobble in November 2009, then it closed for good in December.

I sent that to the one where the results were never revealed, perhaps in Dec 2008 or thereabouts? I think Thom later revealed that it had either won or come top 3 or something but I can't remember. I recall him putting it quite high in his personal chart anyway :lol:

Yes it did, with 208 points it was a runaway victory -_-

 

I don't get what Tonyttt31 is saying its the same as Stars, when the top 3 is very close this time round

 

 

I didn't mean that the victory was the same, points wise. What I meant was that the songs dont sound a million miles apart. Vague indie pop with slightly off-kilter, treble-heavy female vocals. But that's just my ears. To others they probably sound completely different.

I've no idea when I'll do the next one, it depends on when I have assignments and stuff due. There will probably be about a similar gap though, maybe end of Oct / beginning of Nov?

That's soon enough.

 

BTW - I didn't come 11th in UP1 did I?

That's cool. Plenty of time to decide on my entry.

Apologies for not being able to make or vote in this one - I will hopefully be around for III.

 

Congratulations to Mikey! :D

There was just so much going on "backstage" between Thom and zigs I'm not at all surprised it ended - it was more a case of wishing it hadn't come to that situation. Me and Dandy were practically running ChC the best way we could in the end. Dandy even contacted Invision to make payment but because it was on zigs name, they wouldn't accept. :manson:

I did that one. I knew Rich won it but I couldn't remember what song it was :drama: . I think the best I ever did in ChC's UP was second or third with Shiny Toy Guns :lol:

When can we expect the next UP?

????

 

I have my next track ready. I think.
