I wish I could be posting Lizzo - Phone (#bringherback #sixchairchallenge #unveto etc.) however it wasn't meant to be :cry:

 

Therefore, plan b was brought into action which was to go for a more typically St. Burbia sound. It's a very chill and slightly R&B influenced dance track with an infectious hook. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

 

BJSC 89 - iSHi ft. Shenie Fogo - There for Me

 

 

You might recognise the name iSHi and that's because he was the man behind three of Tinie Tempah's hits - "Written In The Stars", "Children of the Sun" and "Invincible", as well as #1 smash "Read All About It" and a random Alexandra Burke album track called "Fire" (:lol:).

A mixed bag of fortunes for St. Burbia this month as we have a little disaster in the main contest, however, finish top 10 in the instrumentals spin-off with the gorgeous "Hearing".

 

 

Thanks to everyone who voted, it was a lovely surprise to see this gem finishing at #8. I'm glad so many of you enjoyed it.

BJSC 90 - Alisha Pillay - Mayday

 

 

My entry this month comes courtesy of Canada for the second time! Mayday is a bit of a jam with a Black Widow-esque production and a slightly cringe video. Also Alisha is from Vancouver (hype :wub: )! The song has begun making progress on iTunes in Belgium it seems, so clearly that's a country with good taste! :o

Feel free to share your faves (and least faves but I'll be less appreciative of that)

'Dum Dee Dum' and 'Wild Horses' were definitely your highlights this year :heart: Wishing I gave the former more points lmao. Massive guilty pleasure grower *.*
Blue Lights & Basenji are of course still total anthems (and enough to help me forgive you for that Dum Dee Dum thing x)

I'm pretty sure Basenji will do well in Rejects considering the Nerve connection

 

I was quite surprised to see Basenji pop up in Nerve :o Relevance!

40. Allie X - Sanctuary [Deandria | 81]

The first winner of the year kicks things off! At the time, I really enjoyed this and it continued to grow on me after the contest ended. "Sanctuary" is the first of FIVE entries from 81. It's definitely the best from Deandria this year, so yay at it being their most successful!

 

39. Courage My Love - Stereo [Taahino | 90]

Taahino makes their first and only entry on here. "Stereo" is easily my favourite yet from them, but they've had quite a few good entries this year too. Tonight Alive in particular was a fab entry! Once again, this is the first of FIVE entries to appear from 90.

 

38. AJÁ ROSE - Paradise Blue [Ajanaeda | 87]

This is the first of two songs to appear that failed to qualify for the final. "Paradise Blue" was my 12 pointer from the semi finals in 87 and I was gutted it didn't make it through! Such an underrated song.

 

37. Jess Kent - Get Down [Cadelicia | 85]

 

It seems I "only" gave this 7 points back in 85, but it's actually really grown on me after the contest to become one of my favourites from that month. This is also the first of two Cadelicia entries to make my top 40!

 

36. TAL - Are We Awake [unovia | 88]

 

I'm still absolutely loving this! It was unfortunate to come in a very strong month. There are four more from 88 still to come and one more from Unovia.

 

35. Tkay Maidza - Ghost [#00274E | 81]

 

This was a fab follow up to Delta Heavy's "Ghost" that won the contest in 80! Like a couple of other countries, #00274E peaked in the very strong month of January for me this year.

 

34. Bomba Estéreo - Amanecer [ingermanlandia | 82]

 

I actually almost forgot about this, but on a revisit for TBO I couldn't get enough of it. I didn't actually point it in the final, yet here it is making my top 40 countdown. Oops. It seems time has been a lot kinder to this than most of the 82 entries that I vote for!

 

33. Maan - Give You All I Got [Yehesi | 89]

 

The first of three big Yehesi tunes in this countdown! Yehesi has been on fire with some incredible entries, two huge bangers are still to come. "Give You All I Got" was a great little tune that I'm still coming back to and received a decent 12 points from me in 89.

 

32. Polyna - Angel (Club Mix) [Aeroche | 84]

31. Kali Uchis ft. Tory Lanez - Ridin' Round (Oshi Redo) [Aeroche | 85]

 

Two Aeroche entries for the price of one here :D Also both from consecutive contests! For me, Aeroche is one of the most consistent countries who can always be relied on for a bit of a jam. Three have made it into my countdown, and here's the first two! "Angel" is quite simply a club banger! Love it! I feel "Ridin' Round" gets a bit brushed past amongst all the Aeroche slayage, so I'm throwing that some love here.

 

Still to come

'Ridin Round' was easily Aeroche's best of the year up until 'Fate' so I hope people aren't brushing past it!! :heart: at Maan and Bomba Estéreo too.

 

(ooh at my song being still to come ~ exciting)
