August 22, 20204 yr congrats cody!! happy to see Orville top 10, didn't think it would do well in UP at all lol
August 22, 20204 yr Thanks Frank for hosting! I was expecting a last place finish because the entry is very ahead of its time but I'm happy to finish in the top 30, while getting a 20-pointer! Congrats Cody on the win! Edited August 22, 20204 yr by uhsting
August 22, 20204 yr Congratulations Cody on winning and thanks to Frank for hosting this contest. 71% of the points for my song came from the four voters who gave it top points. I hope they continue to play 'Lights' long after this is over. I never tire of listening to it myself. Good to see the Lawrence Rothman track finish top 5,it was wonderful.
August 22, 20204 yr Oh so that last vote has made Vandal Moon look much more like the landslide win I had been predicting, I am right after all then! :lol: I guess this was the reason for Frank meddling with the voting order then :basil: (aka the exact opposite of what Cody said xx). Also kind of shows that even 'landslide' wins in UP aren't really that secure though considering the song was only barely winning just a couple of votes before the end. Thanks Tom for securing me a top 20 with those final points :cheer: 19th isn't an amazing result but I'll definitely take it when I was predicting it to be a bottom 5 hit initially and still thought it'd be bottom 10 going into this thread tonight lel ~ Glad that it seemed to have decently wide appeal even if it didn't get high points from many (my only medal position coming from Jade, #Jadaphonia strength confirmed once more!) Voted for 6 of the top 10 and 3 of the others were in my commiserations so very little to complain about there, particularly happy that Color Therapy managed to sneak into the top 10 as well as Another Sky getting a pretty good result despite an underwhelming response on plug.dj <3 then a couple more of my votes just short of the top 10 too, a bit of a shame 'Spaghetti' didn't clutch out a top 10 meaning Jade is still waiting for a top 10 here, next time for sure!! Thanks for hosting Frank, has been fun :cheer: x
August 22, 20204 yr Big fan of the winner, well done Cody! And thanks for hosting Frank. Glad mine did quite well also, roll on next time ;)
August 22, 20204 yr Oh some big points right at the end taking me out of that endless drought/small points, yay *.* I've just checked and this is my ELEVENTH top 10 and third to finish 4th :cheeseblock: I'm not sure I've even managed that many top 10s in BJSC and I've been competing there for almost ninety contests! Thanks everyone that voted, in such a barren year for new music, this was one of my favourite discoveries and I'm really pleased to see others take to it as well :wub: (It also completely slipped my mind that Marissa Nadler was entered into Nuggets, I guess these songs don't stick with me as much). I really liked most of that top 10, my whole top 3 is in there, if only Lauren Bousfield could've stayed there too though at least most of them are in the top half. Thanks for the great hosting, Frank! (I know how you feel at trying to hide obvious landslides after PFSC this year!)
August 22, 20204 yr Sorry guys, I entirely missed this but thank you for all the points :wub: And great hosting Frank. Astonished to do so much better in my UP comeback than BJSC, maybe the name recognition counts against me :kink: Fantastic winner Cody, I look forward to your future UP and BJSC entries :D
August 22, 20204 yr Congrats Cody :cheer: Great hosting Frank :wub: Jade deserved top 10...amazing discovery :wub: Blond:ish deserved Top 20 but I knew it was going to be risky!!!
August 22, 20204 yr Jade deserved top 10...amazing discovery :wub: So happy that you enjoyed it so much :wub:
August 22, 20204 yr TEZJ1g-wmQo I’m FLOORED, thank you guys so much for all the support! This was a song that I heard on a jog and was like “mmm, I’ll add that to my BJSC potentials, whatever” and then I saw this contest open and I was like “I’ll send it here, whatever”, didn’t think it would go THIS far! Wow. That said, I’m disappointed that none of my top 5 ended up making the top 10 :( I thought at least Essáy or Caveboy would make it in safely :( At least we got Prince Rama, Little Jinder and Color Therapy in there, fantastic songs!
August 22, 20204 yr Congrats Cody, quite a decisive victory in the end! :clap: I hardly ever "get" the winning song, but certainly enjoyed and voted for this one. I would've enjoyed Jupiter's song winning too tbf! Thanks to everyone who pointed Caveboy! I'd originally sent it to BJSC a few months ago before changing my entry and deciding UP would suit this more. Top 10 would've been nice but I'm quite happy to finish in the top half along with 3 of my top 4 (oops at Dobbo not voting when Gallant's points total was already far too low :( )! And thanks for hosting Frank, you did a nice job!
August 22, 20204 yr Thanks to everyone who pointed Caveboy! I'd originally sent it to BJSC a few months ago before changing my entry and deciding UP would suit this more. :o I actually don't remember this... so there are 3 different people who did this in this contest :lol: I feel like Caveboy might have actually done better in BJSC than it did here tbh! But at least it did pick up a bit in the end after being in the low 20s at the time your votes were revealed.
August 22, 20204 yr Thanks for all the points everyone! Particularly Frank with the 20. I really didn't expect to do this well, though I was happy with the plug reaction. Can definitely recommend the entire Color Therapy album Mr Wolf Is Dead if you liked Screw Eyes. Really happy with 9th though was worried I'd slip out of top 10 for the last few, very tight with points in the lower end of the top 10. Very well deserved winner and nice results overall, voted for lots of the absolute bangers near the top here. :wub: okay okay now I'm seeing the title of Color Therapy's song in an entirely different light :angry: (most of the time I can call Jacob's entry but I was way off this time, I thought he'd be Laura Jones)Omg I didn't even consider that but that's incredible and I'm taking it. xxx I did like Laura Jones, it only just slipped out of my votes at the end. :( Tbf that ambient sound with big drums and stuff is very me I think. :o
August 23, 20204 yr Sorry I missed this Frank, thanks for hosting and organising! Congrats Cody, thanks to everyone who pointed Thing (I thought it was obviously me, and was expecting a very marmite reaction - thanks Jupiter especially for the 20 I genuinely love this odd experimental little record with the synths. Chart DJ Alan Freeman played it, and I bought it, and that was about all I think! :lol: I thought Jordan had entered Jade's entry - wrong! (But no surprise it got his max points). I would have put money on the leaf windscreen song being Suedey and it just missed my points, just a bit too long for the amusement-value it started off with. Some of the tracks I have now bought and will be charting, so thanks all for the tips! :cheer:
August 23, 20204 yr 94 Caveboy - Silk For Gold Riser Caveboy will win I think. Not quite as wildly off as it looked earlier but: oops. Honestly it just sounded like the Naked & Famous and would appeal across the spectrum. Max Cooper did a little better than the mid teens placement I was expecting and I'm delighted for Little Jinder!
