December 7, 20168 yr Author 04. ALMA - Karma [botanikka | 88] -IxvrFDM_SM "Karma" reaches the dizzy heights of #4 here! I'm still absolutely loving this and it definitely deserves its place amongst the top 4. "Karma" was my 18 pointer from 88 and the third highest 18 pointer to appear in the countdown. I was slightly disappointed it didn't perform better in the contest because it sounds HUGE to me, but it did come in a very strong month. Botanikka have had some great entries this year, I'm gonna give a shoutout to "Stanga" as well which missed out on my countdown but I'm still loving as well. 03. Chloe x Halle - Drop [syndare | 84] YbRl8BLILmI The incredible "Drop" was a big contender for #1 through much of the year but sadly falls short at #3. You can definitely see the influence of Beyoncé here in her two young protégés. This was another fab discovery and entry from Syndare. Although it received 18 points back in 84, another song from that month has crept on me again and I've been probably listening to that a lot more in the last couple of months, which is why it has leap frogged "Drop". I'm looking forward to seeing the tunes Syndare will be sending next year! And this means it's Yehesi vs. Yehesi for #1! :o :o :o
December 7, 20168 yr Author 01. Rochelle - All Night Long [Yehesi | 84] 02. Era Istrefi - Bonbon [Yehesi | 82] 2d4VvEVeau0 Missing out on #1 is the absolute jam that goes by the name of "Bonbon". If I had done this a month earlier, I probably would've put this on the top but right now "All Night Long is my fave from this year! So well done Yehesi / Tim for clinching the top 2 :o I hope you keep up the standard of sending jam after jam in 2017. "Bonbon" of course received 18 points from me in 82 and I'm still gutted it didn't win because it definitely deserved to, especially when that balloon abomination did the following month. "All Night Long" surprisingly only received 13 points from me in 84. Tbf it had stiff competition for that 18, but it seems to have stood the test of time a lot better, hence it gets the very deserving #1 position on my countdown. cedoBlUvBlI Recap 01.

December 8, 20168 yr Spanishy queens in the top 5 *.* V good top 3 also (although Era shoulda won out of them)
January 15, 20178 yr Author BJSC 91: Alice Merton - No Roots PUdyuKaGQd4 Kicking things off in 2017 is Alice Merton, who has no roots. The song is about how she's lived in so many countries throughout her life - she could be English, Canadian or German. You decide which you prefer. Also good luck to the Brits if she ever takes off, deciding if she's British or International. The song itself is very Florence + The Machine, and in parts she could easily be mistaken for Florence! Hope you enjoy and support :heart:

January 29, 20178 yr Author BJSC 91: #6 finish for "No Roots" PUdyuKaGQd4 St. Burbia in 2017 has kicked off in style with our first ever top 10 finish! :o I'm so glad this was as well received as it was, it's become my favourite entry yet and to see the voters make it my most successful yet is just fab to see. Thanks so much to everyone who gave points to "No Roots", particularly for Pupok and Azure for their 18 pointers, and Republic d'Ashton for their 15 points too :heart: Massive congrats to Ultraviolenceland and their winner "Monopoly"! It's such a banger and a very well deserved win. I'm also looking forward to the UV hosted contest next month which is bound to be incredible. A lil teaser for next month ~~ it's going to be my first completely foreign language song :o Not a trashy Punjabi jam again tho, sadly.
