Ooh wonderful to see that 'Waves' has scraped into your top 30! That was of course the Jadakissnia entry I was referring to before as the sole recipient of Trifoski double-figure points for me in a main contest this year. You seem to really take to my more ~emotional~ entries with 'Time' being a big favourite too! Duly noted. My planned entry for 101 is quite emotional so I hope it'll be another one you quite like x

 

'Routine', 'What I Won't Do' and 'Trees On Fire' are fabulous picks in your top 20 thus far :wub:

Great to see two Rolloland songs in the top 21 and another one further down.

 

10 Skott - Mermaid [Hushkanukia]

 

what a pretty tune, i wanna swim the seven seas with Ms Skott

 

 

 

09 French Horn Rebellion feat. Jody Watley & Young Empires - Dancing Out [Azure]

 

like Shut Up and Dance with extra horns, this carefree synthpop jam deservedly became Azure's biggest hit so far

'Routine' top 20 and 'Archangel' just outside *. Much love for Jennie Abrahamson, Studio Killers and Hugar also ~

 

08 MUNA - I Know A Place [Yehesi]

 

last year's champions MUNA are back again, as Yehesi force the BJSC voters to LAY DOWN THEIR WEAPAWNS with this peace & love anthem <3

 

 

 

07 NINA - Beyond Memory [Niceland]

 

a synthy gem in the vein of Taylor Swift's Style, a PJSC winner though underrated on here as the voters clearly don't know what they're missing

 

06 K.I.D - Taker [Oslol]

 

these guys really know how to pen a singalong pop rock tune. another one underrated by the bjsc masses, TAKE THAT BACK!

 

 

 

05 TR/ST - Capitol [Aeroche]

 

Aeroche getting their sneaky annual win with TR/ST is just so perfect, what a moment *.* big fan of this one for a few years now

 

04 Grouplove - Good Morning [Mulgracia]

 

where is james with these mega indie pop bops when you need him :''''(

 

 

03 Bleachers - Don't Take The Money [suedeonia]

 

...and that's where Suede steps in :magic: getting to announce this as a winner was the perfect cap off to a Trifoski-hosted contest <3

Come back James </3

 

Yeah no way is Weekends gonna top Confidence Man :P Coming for your bridesmaid position, Chez

 

02 K.I.D feat. Cupcakke - Boy [New Lexico]

 

of all acts to have two tracks in the top 10, it's K.I.D? :o copy everything i said about Taker and paste it here x instantly memorable chorus, hilariously crass Cupcakke verse, what more could one person ask for

 

 

01 LINES - Weekends [Cor Lupus]

 

when looking for bangers in the bjsc, nothing quite BANGS like this *.* i love the heavy hard hitting synth refrain, the shouty vocals, the wink wink nudge nudge reference to their bjsc winner 'People' and that cute robotic voice doing the chorus

 

the weekend never sounded so awesome, well done cody x

oh yeah I forgot about the cupcakke feature lmao
