December 1, 20168 yr Yaaaaaas some rlly good songs there *.* polyna and kali are probably my top 2 from aeroche this year :wub: maan was another yehesi 18 from me I think :kink: Expecting daddy says no to win :)
December 1, 20168 yr Ooh I'm thrilled to have a top 30 entry here Burbe *.* cannot actually remember what it will be (this seems to be a recurring theme with people's EOYs, my memory is not goals at times x) so I'm excited to find out! Some amazing picks in that first section but 'Angel' is heads and shoulders above the rest there :wub: So bloody glad that Leww ended up sending that after sitting on it for a while! Simply magical.
December 2, 20168 yr Author 30. Alfons - Ganjaman [beaverdonia | 81] The first of two Beaver entries appearing on my countdown! This was such a jam at the time, and although it feels a little old now I am still loving it quite a bit. The Beaver entries have been fab this year, and I'm looking forward to seeing where 2017 takes them! 29. Jackie Tech - You Can Have It All [unovia | 90] "You Can Have It All" is the second of two Unovia entries to appear. This was an absolute jam and my fave from them this year, so ending the year on a high! Can always rely on Unovia to send a jam like this! 28. Mai Lan - Technique [FKA FKA FKA π | 87] The first of my 18 pointers to appear! For me, 87 was probably the weakest contest of the year and perhaps this being the lowest of the 18s reflects that. However, it's still a great tune and would've been a great winner. 27. Dub FX - So Are You [Thelonia | 87] A double whammy for 87 here! This is one I forgot about until revisiting the contest for TBO. Over time, I've ended up preferring this slightly to "Technique" and was a fantastic entry with me having originally given it 15 points. 26. The Shanghai Restoration Project ft. Zhang Le - The Wandering Songstress [Persephonia | 81] Persephonia is another country which, for me, peaked at the start of the year! "The Wandering Songstress" was such a lovely song and I'm so glad they sent this. It's been one of my favourite discoveries of the year and it was fab to see this finish in the top 10. 25. Lushington - You Got Me Baby [Vülkyria | 82] 82's runner up is next! This was one which didn't really hit me in the semis, but by the final I absolutely loved it. It's continued to grow on me after the contest and that 11 points awarded looks a little low in hindsight. A fab entry and well deserving of the #25 place on my countdown! 24. FRANKIE - Gold [Hushkanukia | 89] The second 18 pointer to appear is from Hushkanukia! I've really enjoyed most of their entries this year, and "Gold" really stuck out for me in 89. In hindsight some of the others have grown on me (no spoilers) but this is still a wonderful, underrated entry. 23. Smith & Thell - ROW [syndare | 90] Another from the most recent contest! This is the first of two incredible Syndare entries to make my countdown. "ROW" received a respectable 13 points from me (with my top 2 from 90 still to come) and rounded off a great year for Syndare. They've become of my favourite nations and can't wait to see what 2017 has in store from them! 22. Sophie Beem - Skyline [Aeroche | 89] The third and final appearance from Aeroche comes from 89! "Skyline" is such a brilliant pop song and I've regularly got it on rotation. It's such a shame this didn't win rather than "Fade" in 90. But thanks Lew for some great jams this year and I hope you keep delivering them in 2017. 21. Willa - Hey [Altyr Muunilinst | 86] This is the first of two incredible Altyr entries in my countdown. It received 15 points from me in 86, finishing behind Pupok's winning song and interestingly the reverse happened in 90 but more of that later :P It's a fab pop song and probably would've been a worthy winner for me if Pupok didn't grab it that month. Still to come N DNTN x3 Pupok x3 Botanikka x2 D'yermak'er x2 Yehesi x2 Altyr Muunilinst x1 Beaverdonia x1 Cadelicia x1 Danaelanda x1 FARC x1 Jadakissnia x1 Oslol x1 Syndare x1
December 2, 20168 yr Ooh I'm in your top 20! :o Fabulous *.* 'The Wandering Songstress' is definitely my highlight of this section! Persephonia's second best of the year for me after 'Thelema'. <3 'Ganjaman' and 'Technique' are total jams.
December 2, 20168 yr Yaaaaaas @ pupok being still to come *.* Hey, Skyline, Technique and You can have it all are all jams :wub:
December 4, 20168 yr Author 20. Kungs vs Cookin’ on 3 Burners - This Girl [botanikka | 83] I gave "This Girl" 9 points back in 83, and perhaps it blowing up in the charts is what really made me appreciate and love this song! It's one of those entries where I've looked back and been surprised at not giving it higher points. This is the first of two Botanikka entries to come in the countdown. 19. Kiiara - Feels [D'yermak'er | 83] This was my 18 pointer from 83! I instantly loved this and it's continued to remain of my fave BJSC songs this year. It's so chill and very refreshing amongst a lot of the more uptempo stuff entered. There's one of my song to come from D'yermak'er in this countdown! 18. Aelyn - Give Love A Try [Pupok | 86] We finally reach the first of three Pupok appearances! This was such a fab winner and I saw it coming a mile off tbh. It was also my 18 pointer from 86 and really cemented Pupok as one of my fave countries amongst some of the more fun entries. 17. Kenzie May - Honey [Oslol | 82] This is the 2nd of two songs which didn't qualify to make my countdown. "Honey" was rejected back in 82 and I'm still gutted about it! It was my 12 pointer in the semi finals and covers a different genre which is often overlooked in BJSC, so it was a shame not to see it do better. 16. MENDOZA - Love Druggie (Addict) [Jade Blue Remix] [Cadelicia | 83] The final entry from 83 to make my countdown is the fantastic "Love Druggie". This was an instant fave at the time and has ended up being a grower too. It's just such a huge tune! 15. Nadia Tehran - Cash Flow [N DNTN | 89] 14. Plaitum - Jagwa [N DNTN | 85] Double whammy of N DNTN with the first two of their three appearances. "Cash Flow" has proven to be such a huge grower! I love the M.I.A. vibes in the song and originally gave this 15 points in 89, but it's now overtaken "Gold" as my favourite from that contest. Also I've been stanning hard every time I see that advert on TV! "Jagwa" was another fab entry from them in 85 which I originally gave 13 points. It's stood the test of time well so far and will no doubt continue to be one of my faves. 13. Angie - Smoke Weed Eat Pussy [Pupok | 90] The 2nd of 3 Pupok entries is here! Last month's incredible entry of "Smoke Weed Eat Pussy" is such a guilty pleasure and a bit of a ruin anthem so I was over the moon that this was entered into the contest. It's a shame it didn't do too well in the final but it was always going to be quite niche! This received 15 points from me in 90 and was just edged out by... 12. Atella x Frøder - Closer To Life [Altyr Muunilinst | 90] "Closer to Life" is such a special song and I was kinda gutted it didn't quite managed to go all the way and win the contest. Given how much I loved Pupok's entry, this is indeed very high praise to beat it twice haha! 11. Bang La Decks - Aide [beaverdonia | 85] Another winner and song which received 18 points from me here! I loved the uniqueness of this song and was so happy to see it win the contest in 85! It's continued to be one of my faves and I've also been discovering a couple of other great songs by Bang La Decks. The Top 10: Yehesi x2 Botanikka x1 D'yermak'er x1 Danaelanda x1 FARC x1 Jadakissnia x1 N DNTN x1 Pupok x1 Syndare x1
December 4, 20168 yr Omg a Jadakissnia entry in your top 10! :o :wub: Excited to find out what it is!!
December 5, 20168 yr Author OMG yas *.* Going to predict Einstein is left to come 👀👀 Potentially :o omg 2 top 10's. Yehesi, queens of Burbe Potentially :o
December 5, 20168 yr Author 10. Sada Vidoo - The Actress [D'yermak'er | 88] Hn1p_ODy8fY The one that got away on this year's X Factor, Sada Vidoo is the first top 10 entry. Beyond the novelty of her being a living doll, this is an infectious song and an incredible discovery from D'yermak'er, so thanks for entering this little gem. "The Actress" received 15 points from me in the incredibly strong contest of 88. Here, it's the 2nd of five entries from 88 that will be appearing, meaning three others have also made the top 10! 09. TheFatRat ft. Laura Brehm - Monody [Danaelanda | 81] B7xai5u_tnk The incredible and epic "Monody" was my first 18 pointer of the year from 81. Danaelanda (or South Danaelanda as they are now known) have sent some really great entries this year, and a couple of others ("In My Head" and "Gregory's Theme") deserve honourable mentions in particular. There's still one more from 81 to come out of the six entries that made my countdown, so come back to find out which it is! Still to come: Yehesi x2 Botanikka x1 FARC x1 Jadakissnia x1 N DNTN x1 Pupok x1 Syndare x1
December 5, 20168 yr I'm glad you thought 88 was one of the strongest contests! Everyone really brought their A-game :D
December 5, 20168 yr Thank god for Kungs, I am relevant almost in every chart this year :kink: Also I am expecting Stanga to slay here :dance:
December 5, 20168 yr Author 08. Raye - Shhh [N DNTN | 88] 06aiE3dZ2q4 Surprisingly I only gave "Shhh" 10 points in 88! I suppose it continued to grow on me a lot after the contest and is just unfortunate to have been in such a strong final, battling the likes of "The Actress" and "Einstein". It's great to see Raye in the charts with Jonas Blue atm and hopefully this paves the way for "Shhh" to become a big hit for her. N DNTN has been one of my fave countries this year, with hit entries month after month and this tops them all off for me. 07. Claudia Kane - Einstein [Pupok | 88] fGytXyjDj5E Another from 88 now and this time it's the final appearance from Pupok! "Einstein" is simply incredible and its success in the contest has been one of my favourites since it's not the type of song that would normally be that popular. I'm still regularly coming back to this and will no doubt be a regular fix of my listening/playlists in the future too. Still to come: Yehesi x2 Botanikka x1 FARC x1 Jadakissnia x1 Syndare x1
December 5, 20168 yr Yesssss Einstein :wub: i was so surprised it did well too after I slept on it for several months :lol:
December 6, 20168 yr Author 06. Salt Ashes - Save It [FARC | 84] vPo1ehHrrQE The first of three entries from 84 in the top 10 now appears! "Save It" was my 15 pointer from that month and of course went on to win the contest! I hadn't really taken much note for FARC's entries this year apart from this tune, which hit me in a big way at the time and still remains one of my BJSC faves. 05. Sonia y Selena - Yo Quiero Bailar [Jadakissnia | 81] El53OmboUx8 Jade's wait is over! The incredible "Yo Quiero Bailar" from 81 manages to clinch a place in my top 5 of the year. I originally gave this 15 points (behind "Monody") and it continued to be an absolute Spanish jam that almost even rivals the iconic Las Ketchup in Spanish jaminess. The video is also incredible and I love the fact that they look like Dolly Parton and Konnie Huq. Here's hoping Jadakissnia gives us another Spanish jam in 2017 haha. Still to come: Yehesi x2 Botanikka x1 Syndare x1
December 7, 20168 yr Oh of course it was Dolly Parton and Konnie Huq's Spanish twins that you stanned *.* Really did not expect to be as high as top 5 here with anything so that was a lovely surprise :o Glad you took to 'Yo Quiero Bailar' so much, it was a very fun way to kick off this year in BJSC for me! I definitely hope to return to Español at some point in the future if I can find some more gems. I did actually find a great Spanish song but found out that it had been sent to Unknown Pleasures, boo! :lol: Great commentary anyway *.* Slay that it ended up toppling 'Monody' in the end to be your favourite from BJSC 81. (As good as that song is as well!)
