June 28, 20205 yr Meg Myers - Sorry is definitely one that stands out as a best BJSC winner.. Of course that was before I joined but it was the song that first lead me to finally take part. 'Save It', 'Saving Light', 'In The Morning' & 'Give Love A Try' are also up there. I do think I'm missing some others too but I can't remember right now. Lol. Bound to be loads from the first 5 years as well but haven't scrolled to look! Edited June 28, 20205 yr by Rob S
June 28, 20205 yr Is there an up-to-date list somewhere? 'Habib Galbi' is still my fave off the top of my head, not including winners from before I joined as there'd be far too many to mention!

June 29, 20205 yr i am TOUCHED that **YOU** the silent majority, have taken your arms into me i hate u!!!
June 29, 20204 yr next contest is 126 which will see the exact halfway mark of BJSC 63 since I won last time with RuPaul :') let's hope portuguese language synthwave is a THING around here (yes, it has a sax part) Edited June 29, 20204 yr by n'tAlice
June 29, 20204 yr Author next contest is 126 which will see the exact halfway mark of BJSC 63 since I won last time with RuPaul :') let's hope portuguese language synthwave is a THING around here (yes, it has a sax part) never mind the 'sax' what about the portuguese language synthwave part of the equation!
June 29, 20204 yr In no particular order: A-WA - Habib Galbi Belanger - Take Me Home Clare Maguire - Elizabeth Taylor (Mulholland Edition) Frida Sundemo - Indigo Kate Boy - Northern Lights Röyksopp - The Girl And The Robot TR ST - Sulk Unicorn Kid - Need U (actually there is a particular order in the form of my top 500 entries but for the purposes of this thread there is no particular order)
June 29, 20204 yr Belanger - Take Me Home certainly the best song I've discovered that I still listen to the most. So High from the contest before not been mentioned, loved that at the time and still do. Would go for Drab Majesty from since I started entering again.
June 29, 20204 yr I've only ever given my +18 to two winners - Hurricane and Word of Mouth, and I'd definitely say I preferred the former now. Gypsy, Tokyo, Playa Grande and Ellipsis were all high up my list (and of course Thumbs but it still feels weird calling it a BJSC entry since it was entered so long after everyone first became aware of it)
June 29, 20204 yr Röyksopp Woodkid Trust I still love "Sorry" its my favourite track I ever entered, along with Gareth Emery ft. Tegan & Sara with Body Talk, oooh and Kyla La Grange / Walk Through Walls
June 29, 20204 yr Meg Myers - Sorry is definitely one that stands out as a best BJSC winner.. Of course that was before I joined but it was the song that first lead me to finally take part. I still love it to this day, I sometimes can relate to that track, glad I made you join BJSC in the end.
June 29, 20204 yr Not both my entries already being mentioned. The Taste, The Xenophilia, I live. Aeroche // Colleen D'Agostino - Disaster N DNTN // RAYE - Shhh New Lexico // Metroplane - Word Of Mouth (feat. Bree Runway) Republic of Adonia // Josef Salvat - Open Season Elëdan // RuPaul - Sissy That Walk These are the ones I live for (Metroplan and RuPaul less so because I came into the contest already knowing them.
June 30, 20204 yr Top 3 for me would be Free Tibet, Aide & Give Love A Try. Interestingly (or not) I've participated in nearly 50 contests now and my +18 has only won ONCE* (Give Love A Try). Aide was a big post-contest grower & Free Tibet was the one I missed since debut. *A run that shows no signs of ending. Have come very close tho including last month with my +15 winning.
June 30, 20204 yr There is now: Very helpful *.* I didn't realise Blonde had been entered before, and pleasantly surprised that RAYE and Noonie Bao have had wins! I'm assuming it was before the song took off as this was after real hits were disqualified from entering? Same goes for Sigala I remember hype around the site for Jaded's In The Morning and enjoyed it so much to the point it actually made my personal chart despite not even knowing what BJSC was at the time! Obviously I wasn't clueless for long as I made my debut in 101 and will always remember basting out Sofia on the drive to uni :') I think for that reason alone it's my favourite BJSC winner, not in terms of a being the 'best' song here but as the one that means the most to me as it was my first real look into BJSC. thoughts & prayers is an incredible song also and would otherwise be my absolute favourite here.
June 30, 20204 yr So other than my own it would be Thumbs easily but I’ve loved that track for years before it was submitted so that doesn’t really count :P Excluding that (and Easy Love since it’s such a huge hit) it’s probably a toss between Heaven, Saving Light, Remember and Hide Best runner up other than my own (like come on, would anything else top Weekends?) would be Up & Down easily
June 30, 20204 yr Very helpful *.* I didn't realise Blonde had been entered before, and pleasantly surprised that RAYE and Noonie Bao have had wins! I'm assuming it was before the song took off as this was after real hits were disqualified from entering? Same goes for Sigala 'I Loved You' was entered a while before it became a hit, at the time Melissa Steel hadn't even been officially credited on it yet (I added a credit to her there retrospectively x). RAYE's win predated her commercial success too. Sigala is kind of controversial because it was entered before it charted but only by a couple of weeks :magic:
