May 13, 20169 yr Author BJSC 79 entrant Charlie has landed in the top 25 of Macy's iHeartRadio Rising Star Contest! a4mjLfqTwAw She's also up against other BJSC alums Tokyo Police Club, Kristine Elezaj and HOLYCHILD. To vote for her, go on iHeartRadio.com/RisingStar or just tweet the hashtag #RisingStar and tagging her Twitter account @SoooCharlie! This is a pretty big deal for our country as past winners of the contest have had varying amounts of success. Plus, it's Macy's and they're a big deal. So if you stanned for "Ghosts" back in October (or still do), you know what to do...

CilbB5CQ5jM Alternative has become a risk since the disastrous 82. But we're going back to that sound. It's more of a commercial indie this time, as we bring in Aussie band Atlas Genius to compete this month. They have made their mark in the US Alternative charts with previous singles, "Trojans", "If So", and "Molecules", but can this less popular single reach the top of the contest? #BJSC84 #VoteCorLupus
May 17, 20169 yr I used to have Stockholm and Molecules as potentials but kinda forgot about them. Atlas Genius is an underrated band and I'm so glad Buzzjack will finally be introduced to them. Best of luck!!!
May 18, 20169 yr Author I used to have Stockholm and Molecules as potentials but kinda forgot about them. Atlas Genius is an underrated band and I'm so glad Buzzjack will finally be introduced to them. Best of luck!!!I actually had "Molecules" as a potential back in October (but of course went with the more appropriate "Ghosts"). So glad I got to finally send them!
May 24, 20169 yr Author Another DNQ, you all suck. I don't know if I should just go risky and act like I've given up or send something that's a safe bet to qualify to get me back to doing well. I just don't know. - Anyway... everyone has been tweeting for who will present the votes using the hashtag #BJSCvotingCL and I'm pleased to announce that Fuller House actress and Dancing With The Stars quarterfinalist Jodie Sweetin will be taking the time for presenting the votes! We're sure that this final will be a fuller house with her around.
May 24, 20169 yr I only quickly listened through semi 2 but yours was an immediate highlight, gutted it didn't make it through.
May 24, 20169 yr Gah I'm so gutted for you Cody - both of your DNQs now are two of my favourite entries of yours. I think the 8 I gave this is the most I've ever given you in a semi! A real shame this didn't qualify :(

May 24, 20169 yr Well you gave 10 points to A-Trak last year so not quite Oh yes so I did! Yay at you having two medal positions in my semi points then. *.*
May 25, 20169 yr Author Apparently #CorLupusRacism is only a main-contest thing. And apparently I can only get good positions when I go cheap. Radio Killer managed to get SEVENTH in the spin-off. #FlynnondaRacism and #MedhelniaRacism is still pretty rampant tho, can we stop it along with stopping #CorLupusRacism

I have absolutely no regrets now! For next month I'm probably going the way of WorldVision and going cheap, so I have a cheap chill trap potential, a cheap pop anthem, a cheap house track, and a song that sounds like "Cheap Thrills", so the theme is #CheapHoeLupus :') (not like any of these are going to qualify ~) Update: Wait I found a brony track should I send that
May 27, 20169 yr Author Well I'm bored so let's continue this http://49.media.tumblr.com/86afa8e9b786c991dc4dd95d3512fb14/tumblr_ntnngeC8oH1qgwhndo1_250.gif New Beacon New Year: The Top 150 Of 2015 Interlude: Analyzing the BJSC 74 Debutants Am I surprised to be part of such a strong group? No. Am I proud of how far we've come? Yes. This group of countries, ourselves, Jadakissnia, Aprogonia and Flynnonda, we are a giant pack, and we stick by each other. And it's shown various amounts of times; whether it be a bunch of us rallying towards acts such as Maliibu & Helene, Tame Impala, Five Knives, and AK & Lynx (and hell even BLVCK CEILING and Atlas Genius this year), it's been a wild ride. We're going to start with us. *Cody's view* So at first I was kinda hesitant about BJSC because it seemed so daunting at the time, having to impress a good 60 or so people with a song that no one else knows and then just rolling with the punches and the fact that my music tastes were just too mainstream at the time. Then I thought, "What the hell let's just do it". Turns out being the commercial country out of the four does have its advantages, with the first 8 entries of my BJSC career qualifying and then all of a sudden falling from grace and becoming the underdog country again. And I never really thought that all of that would come from my first entry, a song from an artist who I discovered from my gym's playlist. Then A-Trak was a bit of a make-or-break entry and that firmly fell into the former. Then New Politics who I've loved for a while really revved things up, and the list just goes on. Sure things on our side have gotten a bit weaker but somehow that's just how the cookie crumbles. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to venture out of the commercial area and I've done that... a couple times... and they never really worked out that well... so I guess being mainstream is like a superpower to me. So... here's to a few more contests down the road. Where do we go next? Fighting the sudden racism that has been going on. Rank including 2016 songs: West End Kids > Savages > Bring Back The Summer > Ghosts > You Settle Me > Dynasty > Rivers > Push > Catch A Star For You > Stockholm > Flash Drive So clearly nothing can beat New Politics because I love them so much. Okay boys time to release a new single so that I can finally self-recycle Flynnonda: I will admit that I was a bit scared about Harry getting into BJSC because looking at his personal charts at the time, they were very indie and very "hey, this looks like it could be on the Radio 1 playlist, you guys should listen to it" and it turns out that this is the strong point for Flynnonda. Like "Dive Right In" was clearly late night Pete Tong mixed with the SubSoul YT Channel, "Silverlined" was pretty much a more mainstream version of that sound (same with Wolfie to an extent) and we all know what happened with Tame Impala. I imagine Harry as the underdog as well, at least on the indie side, because when his picks get noticed, they get noticed. Sadly we need some way to get rid of Flynnonda racism because it's still a bit prevalent today. I would probably say "Hey Harry, why don't you just recycle Tame Impala again?" but considering that all their singles off of Currents have been part of the Radio 1 playlist, it's safe to say that he won't be self-recycling any time soon. Flynnonda today? Well let's just say I'm still crying over Panama Wedding, and those two last places were certainly not deserved. Rank Including 2016 songs: {spoiler} > A Brand New Life > Cause I'm A Man > Wild Heart > Paris > Dive Right In > Get Some Scars > Work Around It > Count The Days > Obi-Wan > Trying Jadakissnia: I think when it comes to music sense, Jade is like Braydino in a girl's body (which kinda explains their hardcore chemistry that EVERYONE seems to notice), so it was pretty clear that Jade was going to end up being the odds-on favorite out of the four of us. Yes, Jade, there will always be four of us in the pack. And 11 contests on it still looks like Buzzjack's it girl still has a bit of moves in the contest. Like introducing Veela (because Canada). Or recycling jj and still making it look inspired. Or sending a 15 year old Spanish jam. Or sending a total hip-hop instrumental and passing it off as "witch house". But still you've proven that a new country can be both inspired and mainstream at the same time. Maybe that's why you've motivated me to compete a hell of a lot more than I did during the first two months of the contest. I still listen to "Virtual Paradise" (and to a lesser extent "WVFFLIFE") on the daily, so let's hope those moves still exist in the next ten contests. Rank including 2016 songs: WVFFLIFE > {spoiler} > Time > Yo Quiero Bailar > Curtains > When > Blood In Blood Out > Unzip Your Skin > Sentient > All White Everything > Luv w Luv Aprogonia: I know people are finding it easier to dismiss April when it comes to this contest but with her absence still leaving a gaping hole in Buzzjack and "Lost Boy" somehow finding its way into becoming a U.S. hit (to that I say WHY), I kinda wonder what the contests would be like had April not abandoned us. I'm surprised that I've pointed April more times than both the other countries combined. Maybe t's because I'm more in the wavelength of the "sassy female anthem" more times than none and the only time she sent in a guy it was a DJ (one who I ended up sending via remix). And you know what? Ohana means family. And family means no one gets left behind. Or forgotten. IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR APRIL TO COME BACK Rank: {spoiler} > {spoiler} > {spoiler} > {spoiler} > Bandit > Lost Boy - The BJSC 74 debutants. This is my family. I found it all by myself. It's little... and broken... but it's still good. Yeah. Still good. (A quick thank you to Iz because his 2015 EOY write ups inspired me to write this interlude up so yaaaay)
May 27, 20169 yr Aww that was a great little paragraph there Cody! :wub: BJSC 74 debutants 4 lyf <3 Shall never forget how exciting it was to debut with the three of you. Although yes bring back April!! Cool ranking there! I have decided after some thinking about it, WVFFLIFE is as high as my 2nd favourite now so I'm glad to see it's your favourite. <3 (Also you're bang on with that first line, Brade = music twins :heart:)
