October 26, 201311 yr Loving the mentions for some of my more forgotten entries there Liam! Over You has literally one of my favourite song intros/backing tracks of the past five years, the song doesn't particularly go anywhere but the glorious strings still make it essential for me :wub:

Over You has literally one of my favourite song intros/backing tracks of the past five years, the song doesn't particularly go anywhere but the glorious strings still make it essential for me :wub: Thinking about it, since I joined I prefer your more forgotten entries! My favourite would be Maailman Toisella Puolen :wub: Speaking of underrated Rontvia, there's obviously Headhunted from before </3 The Last Time is amaze though as a winner, as was Sadness Is A Blessing (my first 12!!).
October 26, 201311 yr Thinking about it, since I joined I prefer your more forgotten entries! My favourite would be Maailman Toisella Puolen :wub: Speaking of underrated Rontvia, there's obviously Headhunted from before </3 The Last Time is amaze though as a winner, as was Sadness Is A Blessing (my first 12!!). I think most of my 2013 entries will be/have already been quickly forgotten! I'd love to say I'll round the year off with something special but I haven't got a single idea of what to send to the next contest! I didn't see Sadness Is A Blessing coming for the win at all, I couldn't believe it when the votes rolled in! As nice as it was to get back to back wins, there's nothing more underwhelming than seeing everybody sitting on tenterhooks with anticipation only for you to announce yourself as the winner :lol:
October 26, 201311 yr 'Sadness Is A Blessing' is gorgeous. I didn't vote in that contest but if I did it would almost certainly have got my 12. That, 'Runaway' and 'Platinum Chains' would probably be my Rontvia top 3 off the top of my head (though I haven't heard quite a lot of your entries). The fact Silas dislikes Lykke kinda validates my love for it as well :ph34r: EDIT: 'Jungle Drum' would be up there as well. Before my time but another song I know well from outside the contest.
October 26, 201311 yr Krewella - Alive It's honestly the only BJSC song I listen to on a daily basis.
October 26, 201311 yr Delighted to see some mentions of Syndare entries, especially for 'Ghosts' - still such a gorgeous, haunting track. It's back on the internets now, hurrah! For me, let's just list a few - discoveries only. From before I even took part - I was watching for a few months, waiting to be allowed to take part: - Gotye feat. Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know (loved it straight away!) - Azealia Banks - 212 - Charli XCX - Nuclear Seasons - Gabrielle - Bordet - Natalie Ferrol - Hunting Season - Chart Music - All My Life And then from XLI onwards: - Frida Hyvönen - Terribly Dark - Susanne Sundfør - White Foxes - Dia Frampton - Billy the Kid - Trust - Sulk - Frost - The Woods - The Sound Of Arrows - Conquest (I'd been agnostic on them before, this really changed my mind) - Young Galaxy - Fall for You - SZA - Julia - Postiljonen - Supreme (didn't give this ANY points, oops - but it's developed into an obsession. Particularly love that it samples Bette Davis :wub: ) - Meiko - Leave the Lights On - Josef Salvat - Hustler - The Irrepressibles - Two Men in Love - Nikki Williams - Glowing (still play this regularly; easily the best Aquafina entry to-date) And special mention to Wild Belle - Keep You, the finest DNQ ever, and Jessie Ware - Running, the introduction to one of my favourite artists.
October 26, 201311 yr Gotye feat. Kimbra - I Took A Little Something (loved it straight away!) HA OMG! :lol: That and Florrie's were my favourites of that year - didn't list that though (technically) as I already knew it.
October 27, 201311 yr Okay I'm DEFINITELY doing a big list for this. Probably best to do what Liam's done and restrict it to XXXVII-onwards (and only 70 or it'd really be tl;dr, there are plenty besides these that I love also), all of these I still play at least semi-regularly: Linda Teodosiu - Alive (Botanikka) IU - Good Day (Daehun) Destinee & Paris - True Love (Ojnoj) Ricki-Lee - Raining Diamonds (Hendinia) Ask Embla - Ein (Allecian) Elsiane - Vaporous (FSR Rontvia) Azealia Banks - 212 (Eledan) Thea Oskarsen - One Of A Kind (Greenfroze) Carishma - Glow In The Dark (Unoshake) Rachel Platten - 1000 Ships (Greenfroze) Kyla La Grange - Heavy Stone (Batidas) Katie Sky - Sweet Sweet Melody (Ramrynia) The Modern - Sometimes (Caerfyrddia) Dia Frampton - Billy The Kid (Unovia) SoSo - Who's Gonna Love Me? (Syndare) The Wonder Villains - Zola (Persephonia) Laleh - Some Die Young (Tinnmark) Rachel Sermanni - The Fog (Fljótavík) Frida Hyvonen - Terribly Dark (Altyr Muunilinst) Gossling - Wild Love (FSR Rontvia) Lindsay Stirling - Crystallize (Zechonia) Rae Morris - Don't Go (FSR Rontvia) DJ Andi; Stella - Happiness (Kluminican Republic) First Aid Kit - Emmylou (Lake Thermwoods) Jessie Ware - 110% (Aeroche) Porcelain Black - Swallow The Bullet (Hendinia) Jinja Safari - Mermaids (Kluminican Republic) The Sound Of Arrows - Conquest (#00274E) Florrie - To The End (Altyr Muunilinst) Haloo Helsinki - Maailman Toisella Puolen (FSR Rontvia) Charlotte Qvale - The Beginning Of The End (Altyr Muunilinst) Halestorm - I Miss The Misery (Zechonia) Kaija Koo - Vapaa (Land Of Jack) Blood Diamonds; Grimes - Phone Sex (Hendinia) Moulettes - Sing Unto Me (Caerfyrddia) Nordpolen - Nar Mitt Blod Pumpar I Dig (Espen) Seo In Young - Anymore (Daehun) St Lucia - September (Skall) Deaf Club - Moving Still (Persephonia) Orange Caramel - Lipstick (Greenfroze) Ailee - I Will Show You (Daehun) Imagine Dragons - Radioactive (Launica) Tryo - Greenwashing (Bignia-Zaragovina) Autre Ne Veut - Counting (N DNTN) Chloe Howl - Rumour (Fljótavík) The Bloody Beetroots; Greta Svabo Bech - Chronicles Of A Fallen Love (N-Lazone) Ghost Beach; Noosa - Close Enough (Tinnmark) Antonia - Marabou (Aquafina) twenty | one | pilots - Trees (Cadelicia) Carli - Look Up (#00274E) Michael Woods - Platinum Chains (FSR Rontvia) Kelly Sweet - Sirens (D'yermak'er) Laura Jansen - Queen Of Elba (Caerfyrddia) Olafur Arnalds - So Close (Caerfyrddia) TAL & M Pokora - Envole-Moi (Ashton) Pawws - Slow Love (D'yermak'er) Fiddler's Green - Yindy (Zechonia) Team Rockit - Aura (Espen) Belanger - Take Me Home (Syndare) Kat Krazy; Ellka - Siren (Danaelanda) All discoveries in that I'd either never heard them before the contest or I wouldn't have gone back to them had they not been entered. With tracks that got big after, if I loved them during the contest, fine, if I mainly loved them after, not on this list - no STIUTK or Wasting My Young Years for example. I've bolded the absolute best - were I to knock it down to a much smaller list. I'll let the most recent contests settle a bit. And I'll reiterate, this list is definitely not exhaustive, I wouldn't keep entering if I didn't find at least one or two each contest equal in quality to those here and about 5 more that are great too.
October 27, 201311 yr Kat Krazy; Ellka - Siren (Danaelanda):wub: Yay for me being in one of these lists! ---- Here's my top 10 based on last.fm scrobbles (counting Sept. 2012 - present), discoveries only (so no Animals, Platinum Chains etc.) I also won't be counting the likes of I Love It because I only really got into that when it got released in the UK. 01 // 56 plays // Ramrynia: Krewella 'Alive' 02 // 51 plays // D'yermak'er: Miguel 'Adorn' (I did play this a lot before UK release) 03 // 31 plays // Batidas: Manufactured Superstars 'Zombies In Love' 04 // 25 plays // FSR Rontvia: Rivaz 'Colors' 05 // 21 plays // #00274E: Carli 'Look Up' 06 // 20 plays // Daehun: Naime Amuro 'Alive' 07 // 19 plays // Ben's Sanctuary: Kállay Saunders feat.

April 25, 201411 yr (Unrelated to topic) Yuxhaaq to make a return??? Hey! Very unlikely :( I'm just out of love with today's new music, most of the stuff I end up liking is already old by then, so I really wouldnt know what to even send. I even ended my personal chart after 11 years because of this. Maybe someday. Edited April 25, 201411 yr by Euphorique
