i do think we've all had songs called shite tbf! some of us are lucky enough to have john doing that every month <3 :wub:

I certainly felt the wrath of John this month! Luckily for me my 'NOISE' landed in the top 10. :heehee:

I don't even look at plug stats when they're posted these days as they're always wildly out for my entries, even the DNQs rarely do as badly as plug suggests. It's just not the audience for the type of song I typically send. I do remember CXLOE nabbing a surprise runner-up slot and then being ranked as almost everyone's least-favourite runner-up of 2019 the most hypeless medal position of the year x

I was actually sad my entry this month didn't get more negativity from plug or otherwise, it wasn't a meltdown entry for nothing!!

no apologies are necessary. i'm not sure how else i can elocute that i'm not worried/upset/offended etc - i'm just interested in the discussion!

 

my entry from last month literally came last on plug, getting 0 woots + an overall muted response - it really doesn't bother me if people don't like the song, it's not actually my song :lol: the throwaway comments or not liking the song is fine, it'd be a boring life if we all liked the same thing. nobody is here to gatekeep which genres or songs that you should/shouldn't like, i was just defending my entry. i'm pretty sure i've called you all tasteless in the past!

 

that said - this is the first time i've mentioned anything of this nature so if it's "always an issue" perhaps a wider discussion should be had?

 

 

Btw I'm 100% against posting plug stats, they mean nothing at all, they just make people feel bad. I can 'woot' an entry and end up giving it 0 points and I can 'meh' an entry and again, end up giving it 0 points.

If someone's interested in the results, then they should go to the plug room and check the history, it takes only a minute.

 

Chez, your entry was brilliant, I play it shitloads, it deserves all the love :heart:

I don't know that I'd say it's 'always an issue' of this kind of opinion imbalance spilling onto the forum itself (it happened with this and to some extent with CXLOE, that's about the only ones I can think of, at least as far as top 3 hits go). I do think it's a bit of a shame though that the genre bias has become so pronounced on plug.dj (maybe it's always been like that to some extent but I definitely think it's become a lot more noticeable in the last couple of years, which is why I no longer post the stats from plug.dj sessions that I host, because it's essentially garbage data that gives completely misleading impressions a lot of the time). The results have month after month shown that the audience for these 'plug-unfriendly' pop songs clearly still exists and in large enough numbers that it can make winner contenders, it just seems to rarely get captured there. But there isn't really any solution to that (other than I suppose emphasising that people should never take plug.dj results with anything less than a heap of salt) as we can't exactly police what kind of people are attracted to the plug sessions!

 

tl;dr pop hoes don't be afraid to hop on plug.dj from time to time and help throw some hatred in the opposite direction xx

keep calling me tasteless and we'll be just fine! Will make any points from me even sweeter! ^_^

 

I don't think it's necessarily an issue that needs to be solved, just an interesting point of discussion! I honestly think if more of the 'silent majority' were active in the forum we'd have been predicting you to be right up there from the beginning! Clearly a popular entry it was just surprising based on what's usually seen to be 'successful' and the odds that were posted. If anything a call to back your favourites is necessary!

You barely even get a SECOND THOUGHT most months hun x

You barely even get a SECOND THOUGHT most months hun x

omg so weird because a second thought is still ur first word!! obsessions manifest in the weirdest ways don't they babe xx

someone needs to create a spectrum of BJSC countries from pop to "inspired" for the memes and shitposts

 

dont tempt me

New Year's Resolution for BJSC in 2021 - More overt pop hoetry! Give the people what they want!

Ah this is the sort of thing where you need two axes.

 

Also, yes, more pop hoes need to post more so it feels like less of an imbalance. I certainly welcome more people saying what they think of my songs, if not least it'd help me understand why you keep rejecting them especially when I go on a quest to win the pop votes every other month and fail.

What a great winner. :wub:

 

And the deduction didn't affect me too badly, just going to pretend I still got 12th like I should have though, thanks for all the love everyone. x

^but you were 16th though :unsure:

 

MEME WORK IN PROGRESS (i.e. took me 10 minutes and is based on my gut feeling only)

 

countries I used were the ones whose flags I saw on the last few pages of the EOY

 

other axis could use different words, but is based on my feeling that some countries on both sides of the 'genre divide' often give off the sort of style that is normally "critic's darling"-esque, while others don't really care for that and enter more... shocking entries - as we all know critics aren't the final word in music taste and it's not meant to be a judgement either way.

 

Where am I on that grid? :angry:

^but you were 16th though :unsure:

Nah I was 12th.

 

Anyway I'm happy- first time my 18 has won in ages iirc. :heart:

Where am I on that grid? :angry:

 

You're my alias so me.

Ahhh ofc.

idk what you mean by “critic’s darling”

Well that's great company to be with *.*
