September 27, 20177 yr I thought past UK top 20 hits got automatically vetoed, or is that not a rule anymore? Didn't realise those songs made top 20 though, and I personally agree with the decision to not veto them. Mod discretion probably comes into play, which I agree is fair with these two tracks. It's weird because Rockin' For Myself is the sort of thing that sounds like it should have been a huge top 10 at the time, it's funny that it stalled at #18 and hasn't been heard of since, I guess it had a lack of mainstream airplay at the time because with the right exposure I'm sure it could have been as big as Corona, Urban Cookie Collective, Livin' Joy etc... I Love You...Stop is very Sash/DJ Quiksilver. They all seemed to come along at exactly the same time so it's hard to see who influenced who! Gooddelta, you ALWAYS get Besverdonia odds wrong, every single contest :lol: Except with Nik Bed! But yes you could dark horse it with this, I'm not ruling you out of doing well at all - if you qualify I think you'll do pretty well, it just seems like it would have been more suited to Semi 2 than Semi 1.
September 27, 20177 yr These odds carrying me through next week ("Often"? I've NEVER sent anything like what my current entry before!)
September 28, 20177 yr It was UK top 20 in 1994 apparently, three years before I Love You...Stop achieved the same thing! I'd heard of both by name/seen them in chart books but never got round to listening to either before now :o Both very good. Oh wow had no clue Red 5 were released in UK and let alone having a top 20!!! Mod discretion probably comes into play, which I agree is fair with these two tracks. It's weird because Rockin' For Myself is the sort of thing that sounds like it should have been a huge top 10 at the time, it's funny that it stalled at #18 and hasn't been heard of since, I guess it had a lack of mainstream airplay at the time because with the right exposure I'm sure it could have been as big as Corona, Urban Cookie Collective, Livin' Joy etc... I Love You...Stop is very Sash/DJ Quiksilver. They all seemed to come along at exactly the same time so it's hard to see who influenced who! Actually Red 5 released first Da Beat Goes (which is very identical to I Love You...Stop!) in Germany in summer 1996, just few months before Dj Quicksilver and Sash!
September 28, 20177 yr Some autovetos felt harsh and y’all agreed so we reintroduced the discretionary side of the veto in the recent changes. It’s not been used much but it’s worked well as there’s been a couple of tracks caught by the AV that we’re probaby fine. This months is a great case in point!

Most of the contenders have received their fair share of praise and cries of overhype so it's still hard to say, it doesn't look like we'll be seeing any landslide winner this month though and I'm sure the voting will be very close. Should have a clearer idea after the Plug session.

October 2, 20177 yr Author 5th favourites wowowo (according to Roba, anyway) - i rly hope i can finish top 10 or something !! :o
October 2, 20177 yr I'm soooooooo overpredicted I hope not, as yours is just about the only 'contender' that I'd actually want to win oop (that or a Medhelnia back to back) Tbh though I'm gonna throw out New Lexico's name as another possible contender.
October 8, 20177 yr trifoddski odds~ still no obvious winner i can see, but Raincheck is the one just sticking out atm, i reckon it has a fair bit of appeal outside of the pop voters. Altyr is up there (i'd quite like to see Masterpiece take it but it just screams 'runner up' to me for some reason) and of the loads n loads of dance entries on offer Aeroche and Dobago will probably fare best 3/1 Ultraviolenceland | Hannah Jane Lewis - Raincheck 7/2 Altyr Muunilinst | NONONO - Masterpiece 4/1 Aeroche | Motiv8 (ft. Angie Brown) - Rockin' For Myself 6/1 Dobago | Lydia Singer - Push Bang Bang (K. Warren's Ukg Mix) 6/1 Unovia | Francesca Michielin - Vulcano 9/1 New Lexico | Confidence Man - Better Sit Down Boy 9/1 Hendinia | Burak Yeter & Ryan Riback - Go 2.0 12/1 Medhelnia | CHVRN - Delirium 12/1 Cor Lupus | Aesthetic Perfection - LAX (Mr. Kitty Remix) 12/1 FARC | Ida da Silva - Throw Your Love 14/1 Summericia | ERA - Ameno (Remix) 16/1 FSR Rontvia | Tom Fall - Kaamos 16/1 Deandria | Solarstone with Giuseppe Ottaviani - Falcons 16/1 Harmonica | Hollyn - Alone 16/1 Cadelicia | RABBII - All Men Must Die 16/1 Terra Avium | Ravel Nightstar - The Drums and Bass of Flower Bless 20/1 Yehesi | Veronika Vesper - Suffocate 20/1 Persephonia | LUNA - Butylochka 20/1 Cowtermont | ARLE - Close To You - Icarus Edit 20/1 Pupok | Mags duval - Pink Cadillac 22/1 D'yermak'er | Butter - Lifted 22/1 Beaverdonia | Touch Sensitive - Pizza Guy 25/1 Jadakissnia | Zhanar Dugalova - Izin korem 25/1 Taahino | VERIDIA - Still Breathing 25/1 Azure | Thomas Stenström - Så så så säg 25/1 Triangledonia | Rob & Chris - Zeitmaschine (Rob & Chris 90s Dance Mix) 28/1 Kluminican Republic | Glass Animals & Joey Bada$$ - Lose Control 28/1 N DNTN | Yaeji - Last Breath 28/1 Fljótavík | Alex Cameron - Runnin' Outta Luck 28/1 Niceland | Sofi Mkheyan - Hamadzayn Em 33/1 Sandénia | Jaira Burns - Burn Slow 33/1 Ramrynia | Catherine McGrath - Talk Of This Town 33/1 South Danaelanda | Dutch Force - Deadline (Vocal Radio Edit) 33/1 Desbuanda | Zola Jesus - Exhumed 40/1 Ojnoj | Jessica Jarrell - 100 Percentin 40/1 Hushkanukia | Marlisa - Stand By You 40/1 Zanmatony | Les Rythmes Digitales - (Hey You) What's That Sound? 50/1 Cumulonimbia | Roosevelt - Elliot 50/1 Rolloland | Archive - Bullets 66/1 Skall | Mike Mareen - Love Spy 77/1 Trifoski | Superorganism - Something For Your M.I.N.D.
