January 9, 201213 yr I DEFINITELY noticed it at the start of last year too, and the one before that, but then I have quite a few friends who are interested in Asian pop. We'll see, I think the US will oddly be more open to it than the UK, I just don't see Radio 1 or the music channels getting on board at all :( Probably true sadly. Say what you like about the UK music scene but one thing it definitely is is xenophobic :(
January 9, 201213 yr Thanks Rich for the points :yahoo: Since Rich is open to a lot of music, I really didn't think I would even get a point from you at all :o

January 9, 201213 yr Probably true sadly. Say what you like about the UK music scene but one thing it definitely is is xenophobic :( To some extent yes, but moreso the radio and TV playlisters and programmers are. I honestly think that if foreign tracks were reaching the top five of the TV and radio airplay charts then it would be reflected in the singles market! Thanks Rich for the points :yahoo: Since Rich is open to a lot of music, I really didn't think I would even get a point from you at all :o You hit the nail on the head. My votes are always a mixed bag, so how could I not give some points to the best Asian pop song I think I can ever recall hearing :o I gave you 12 in the Semi!

January 9, 201213 yr You hit the nail on the head. My votes are always a mixed bag, so how could I not give some points to the best Asian pop song I think I can ever recall hearing :o I gave you 12 in the Semi! It's probably because I received 6 from you in the main contest whereas TBO had all last years songs competing therefore I didn't expect much :lol:
January 9, 201213 yr Woah Eyes, the 12 AND the 10 :o Amazing, thanks! I'd love to get a clean sweep of everybody voting for at least one song of mine as I'd like to think that it shows the diversity of my entries during this year. No doubt that somebody will snub me though :P Video Games running away with this as was probably always going to be the case...

January 9, 201213 yr Author 14/27 Ramrynia//Ramrynja Hi there :) It was incredibly tough to order our favourites as expected being a TBO contest, but Ramrynia has voted, and here are our points for the TBO final: 12: Farahtyn (Ola - All Over The World) 10: Farahtyn (Jessica Mauboy - Inescapable) 8: People's Republic of Jester (Alexandra Stan - Mr. Saxobeat) 7: Hendinia (Ricki-Lee - Raining Diamonds) 6: Herzebania (Charice - Louder) 5: Kopecka (Loreen - Sober) 4: Ojnoj (Destinee & Paris - True Love) 3: UnoShake (Havana Brown - We Run The Night) 2: Greenfroze (Rachel Platten - 1000 Ships) 1: FSR Rontvia (Sheelah - The Last Time) So a big well done for Farahtyn for two fabulous entries! We wanted to give points to another 9 entries, especially Fefe Dobson of the United States of Jack and Aura Dione of the Kluminican Republic. Thanks, and good luck everyone :)
January 9, 201213 yr It's probably because I received 6 from you in the main contest whereas TBO had all last years songs competing therefore I didn't expect much :lol: True, but it grew on me a fair bit in the subsequent weeks and months!

Whilst it's only so far into the results seeing both my entries currently top 5 is pleasing. Lana Del Rey to win though. :wub:

No doubt that somebody will snub me though :P Video Games running away with this as was probably always going to be the case... You're quite welcome, I couldn't not do it, Sheelah is pretty much perfect pop, and I've well documented how much I like Chart Music... Thanks Eyes for points :D Again, no way was I not voting for my favourite K-Pop song. ^_^
January 9, 201213 yr Boo! Hiss. Hiss. (Although I'm very pleased to not be on nil points with any of my entries so that's always good!) We want MORE POINTS PEOPLE! :P I actually forgot this was happening tonight!
January 9, 201213 yr Pleasantly surprised at Lykke quietly racking up the points actually, I was sure she'd be bottom or thereabouts!
