Posted January 1, 201411 yr http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx240/MarthaJonesFan/EurovisionBanner.png (with thanks to Joseph for the graphic!) Welcome to Buzzjack's Ultimate Eurovision Chart! Over the next couple of weeks, you will have the chance to submit your own personal Eurovision charts and then we will countdown the results. In order to vote, complete the following instructions:Choose your favourite 30 Eurovision songs from any contest since the contest began and in regards to recent years, it doesn't matter if they didn't qualify for the final. You may only submit a chart of less songs if you wish, but no less than 20.Send your top 30 (or less if you choose to) in order from your favourite to 30th favourite to me (Ryan.) by PM, clearly stating which is your favourite. Your favourite song will get 30 points, your 2nd favourite will get 29 points and so on.It will be helpful if you include the country that the entry represented and in which year it participated in the contest for when I compile the votes.You can also submit an ordered list of up to 10 of your least favourite songs ever to have competed in Eurovision in the same PM. However, this is optional.Once all the votes are counted, me and LexC will countdown either the top 50 or 100 songs depending on the amount of different songs that get votes. Depending on the number of people that submit their 5 least favourite songs, a separate small countdown will also be posted for that. Please send me your votes by Sunday 19th January at 2pm! The countdown(s) of the results will hopefully begin the same evening! Voters: Cassandra gooddelta AaronTM AH Gold Ghosty. Eyes AdamAloud Vülker Pavel AlexRange LexC Ryan.

January 1, 201411 yr Oh gosh, only 30. I will probably have to make some really hard sacrifices. This should look really good when it's done though.
January 1, 201411 yr I'm going to make a list up tomorrow, I roughly know what will be in it but ordering them won't be so easy!
January 2, 201411 yr ADVANCE WARNING: anybody whose votes i) don't include a single male artist, or ii) don't include a single song from before 2008 outside of the obvious (ABBA, Gina G, etc), WILL be going on my shitlist and provisionally be in line for a 0 come Rate time. NO NEGOTIATIONS, I want to see some attempts at SELF EDUCATION Edited January 2, 201411 yr by Cassandra
January 2, 201411 yr And OMG, ONLY thirty?! I'm NEVER going to be able to fit the GUNVORS of this world onto a list that small. My ESSENTIALS playlist is 216-strong alone! WEEPING Edited January 2, 201411 yr by Cassandra
January 2, 201411 yr My FIRST ATTEMPT at cutting out anything even RESEMBLING chaff leaves me with 25 tracks from before 2000 ALONE. This process is GENEVA-VIOLATING
January 2, 201411 yr Made a playlist consisting of 70-something (only 21 of them pre-2000 though damn I really need to invest myself in listening to all of the years properly) songs and I already was ridiculously cruel choosing them. Will obviously triple check everything in the next couple of days so that I know I didn't miss anything.
January 2, 201411 yr Ok, voted. Cutting the final five songs was pretty horrible! The hate chart was easy enough to compile, seeing as I did one a couple of years ago on here and just filtered in one recent monstrosity and took out We Are The Winners which is more 'it knows it's bad so that's more acceptable' than songs that are offensively bad without even trying to be.
January 2, 201411 yr I put together all the songs I really loved and then took the absolute essentials from that - that latter group came to exactly 30 songs. Convenient I guess but I'm not happy about having to leave everything else behind. Will be voting soon.
January 2, 201411 yr I managed to cull it down to 35 and then ranked the remaning songs, which made it easy enough to cut out the bottom five, even if I couldn't believe what I was waving off. The most famous Eurovision winner of all time for one but they have better songs in their back catalogue so...
