And honestly Cor Lupus too, being nearly top 5 despite only (lol) being in the competition for 10 years is very impressive stuff.
Tuesday at 22:234 days Also worth noting that although FARC (or Kellyana Kingdom at the time) technically debuted in 2008 they only had a handful of entries before disappearing for years, the vast bulk of their points are from their return in February 2014 onwards, they'd still be in the top 10 only counting from then. (The rest of the top 10 have entered continuously since debuting bar a few early absences for myself and Danæviia + the occasional missed contest here and there over the years for Hendinia, FLJ and Bøtanikkä).
Tuesday at 22:504 days I'm so intrigued to know what Persephonia was sending back in the day to be such a force. Cor Lupus joining years later and dominating I love the lore, and it's interesting to see a lot of nations I have never heard of before so high up
Tuesday at 22:534 days Can we have an official stat that shows Jadakissnia have joined an exclusive club following their win? It can be as obscure as you wish.

Cor Lupus joining years later and dominating I love the lore, and it's interesting to see a lot of nations I have never heard of before so high upOh I've never been a 'force', I'm just persistent The top 4 are really the big dogs who have been around for years and have pretty much always consistently been big hitters (Cor Lupus well on their way to joining them just without the grace of a few years' headstart), I'm just up there because the points from forgettable midtable positions do add up over time. I have by far the lowest number of top 10 hits out of that top 10 (I have 25, all the others have at least 31).I do have a handy playlist of all my entries if you want to peruse (it took me a while to get into the groove of actually sending obscure artists/songs x)2015 was my peak year with 5 top 10 hits and an EOY top 3 finish (even though I also had 2 DNQs that year). That's San Holo through Yung Lean on that playlist x
Tuesday at 23:194 days Aside, I do also have a second all-time list based on adjusting all votes to the Eurovision voting system (as most contests before BJSC 74 used that so the all-time table is a little biased to results after that with the inflated voting system - feels crazy that is now nearly 60% of the contest's history). FSR Rontvia are still yet to give up the lead here despite Aeroche pulling well ahead in the unadjusted leaderboard!Won't post the whole list again but here's the top 50 + countries who have been active this year (Phil will like this one more) x1 15257 FSR Rontvia2 14741 Aeroche3 14386 Hendinia4 12493 Altyr Muunilinst5 10812 Fljótavík6 10565 République d'Áskorza7 10399 Persephonia8 10095 Bøtanikkä9 9609 Danæviia10 9296 FARC11 9040 Kluminican Republic12 8335 Cor Lupus13 8222 Jadakissnia14 8072 Trifoski15 7826 Terra Avium16 7636 Greenfroze17 7490 New Lexico18 7290 Séyetana19 7203 Skall20 6958 Elëdan21 6807 Ojnoj22 6440 Ramrynia23 6379 D'yermak'er24 6253 Unovia25 6179 Espen26 6077 N DNTN27 5920 Kathaldazia28 5859 Utopia29 5482 Hushkanukia30 5473 Summericia31 5467 Daehun32 5434 Cumulonimbia33 5399 Dobago34 5323 Taahino35 5314 Kylienips36 5312 Cadelicia37 5304 St. Burbia38 5210 Quintessa39 5146 #00274E40 4843 Land of DW41 4767 Mdiče42 4717 (The Actual Republic of) Bellamia43 4602 Qärenfanghoney44 4600 Oslol45 4416 Jupiterdonia46 4387 Yehesi47 4314 Numayania48 4288 Tinnmark49 4243 Thelonia50 4176 Ultraviolenceland51 3997 Singerpurear52 3835 Lotunia53 3787 Harmonica60 3403 Lookylion61 3131 POPHub63 3117 Republic of Adonia65 3036 Aelandor66 3020 Aesthetica68 2971 Beaverdonia69 2952 East Rukahavian72 2774 Why So Sirius74 2717 Zanmatony76 2619 Baleghde78 2525 Niceland80 2349 Flynnonda83 2212 Suedeonia92 1929 Neliönoir94 1892 Deandria96 1845 Pestolia98 1789 Bronzil99 1778 Wholune100 1757 Ajanaeda102 1729 Ben's Sanctuary103 1556 Sandénia111 1384 Yuxhaaq116 1133 Scotland 2119 1095 The Spodic Empire125 989 A-Konohagakure128 835 Mothertopia134 721 Palmyra137 666 Cheiron138 664 Pagasa141 569 Buzzjack Mountain147 483 Macromia160 329 Hinterlandia161 318 Herbilore165 276 Conoria

Of course I've taken a gazillion breaks but I'm one of the oldest nations?? And I still feel like I'm barely even in the contest lmao.

Wednesday at 12:533 days 4 hours ago, Cody Piastri said:side note: does this make me the biggest beneficiary of the 18-point system? or do I just not send enough niche entriesI mean, in the sense that (if I’m thinking correctly), you’ve never been a part of a 12 point system contest. So you probably are the biggest beneficiary of the 18 point system because its all you’ve ever competed in and you’re the most successful country of everyone who debuted since the introduction of that voting system.

This I like much much better Defo been outperformed in the 18 pt era. Only thing keeping me top 10 is longevity as it sure as shit ain’t consistency 🤣

Top xx from the contest before qualifies and the rest has to participate in the semifinal. I honestly can’t even remember, that was 17.5 years ago :’)Yeah I would have based it on how Eurovision worked in the 00s, where countries that did well previously were rewarded for that success with a place in the final.Different times though, I’m sure I would do it differently over 17 years later ha. As it is ultimately contest to reward the best songs each time and not the most consistent countries.
