May 23, 201511 yr This proves there's STILL HOPE (I don't know how you do it, I was ready to call time on ever winning about this time last year)
May 23, 201511 yr Yes I'm at 63 contests without a win! 64 actually ~ The countries with the most (40+) entries without a win now: 67 Tinnmark 64 PRoJ 61 Espen 57 Ojnoj 55 Utopia 55 Zechonia (RIP) 48 Bignia-Zaragovina 45 New Lexico 42 Kluminican Republic 42 Unovia I will miss my record. :')
June 11, 201511 yr If anyone has a desire to do the stats update then feel free, I can send you over the spreadsheets you need! But if not, just so you know I haven't forgotten about them I'll make sure they are updated before the next contest gets underway! ^_^
July 15, 201510 yr Countries to have finished in every position in the top five at least once (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place on at least one occasion): #00274E, Daehun, Federal Republic of Ashton, FSR Rontvia, Hendinia, Mdiče, N DNTN & Numayania Most successful songs (based on percentage of possible points they could have scored from other countries): 01. FSR Rontvia - Sheelah - The Last Time - 49% (BJSC XXXI) 02. Fljótavík - Foxes - Youth - 46.05% (BJSC XLI) 03. Quotosibb - Marina And The Diamonds - Hollywood - 45.9% (BJSC XXIII) 04. Kathaldazia - Eva Simons - Silly Boy - 45.6% (BJSC XIX) 05. Hendinia - Adele - Someone Like You (Live) - 44.6% (BJSC XXX) 06. Ashton - Tone Damli - Look Back - 44.5% (BJSC XLI) 07. Botanikka - Kim Lian feat. Future Presidents - How I Like It - 43.3% (BJSC XXX) 08. FSR Rontvia - Sara Bareilles - Love Song - 43% (BJSC IV) 09. Kopečka - Loreen - Sober - 42.1% (BJSC XXXVIII) 10. Mdiče - Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl - 42.3% (BJSC VII) Persephonia officially claim a place among the GREATS in that first list <3 And Sigala by my calculations is #2 on the second list with 46.5% of the available points (477 out of 1,026) - astonishing feat considering the last addition to this list was 35 contests ago :o Sigala also matched the record for most top scores received (alongside Indila and Courtney Barnett with 10 18s).
September 23, 201510 yr Why has Foxes simply been replaced at #2 in the list of most successful entries (as opposed to everything being bumped down a place)?
September 23, 201510 yr If I remember rightly when I was updating the stats, Bre rechecked all the percentages for me on his big spreadsheet and found a few of them to be wrong - Foxes was most affected but there were a few other changes too. It changed quite a while ago, I can't remember the exact details of the changes but Foxes should never have been top 10 I don't think.
September 23, 201510 yr Why has Foxes simply been replaced at #2 in the list of most successful entries (as opposed to everything being bumped down a place)? Oh yeah, about that ~ I recalculated that list a little while back and whoever originally made the calculation for Foxes must have gone wrong somewhere as she was never actually that high. She is actually 11th with 41.67%.
March 1, 201610 yr Just so you all know I haven't forgotten about these, after BJSC 81 we were discussing a few possible changes so I didn't get this updated straight away in case it turned out to be pointless but as they have been put on hold for the time being I shall get round to updating this before BJSC 83 next month!
March 2, 201610 yr same goes for the songs of thread, i will be responsible for getting that up to date as well
April 6, 201610 yr This thread is in the process of being updated right now (just the points tables and chart runs to go), and the archive and spin-off threads are already fully up-to-date. If anyone knows they have broken the improvement/regression records in the past 3 official contests or someone else (Bré ^_^) knows someone has then please do let me know as there's too many numbers involved in those records for poor me to get my head around!
April 6, 201610 yr Rykka 'Movies' technically broke the record regression (projected 9th to final 39th) but not sure whether that should really count considering that was after a 33% deduction. Crystalyne weren't far off the record progression (they went from 40th to 15th).
April 6, 201610 yr Nah I wouldn't count that either, although I'll add the fact that songs don't count when deductions are involved.
May 22, 201610 yr Pretty sure I put them down as Belgian, they are our first Belgian winners I believe?
