I'm loving this presentation and all the effort that has been put in. I should be coming soon as I'm the class of 2017.

Rolloland having barely half the BPM of all the other songs revealed so far :lol: (interested to hear after sending a song that could be described as space rock myself last month).

I wasn't quite sure what genre my song fell into so it's interesting to find out. I look forward to seeing how many countries can get below 68 BPM.

Okay Lotunia we see you popping off *.*

Omg only just noticed the "class of" order! Poor Kathaldazia were around when Bionic plummeted 1-29 on the charts

Loving the graphics and concept! Some exciting pop entries to listen to! :D

Love this concept!

 

Gonna be literally last to be announced here but you do save the best for last after all

CUMU137: SEMI-FINAL ID CHECKS: THE CLASS of 2016

 

So this is where my concept starts to break down because we have a lot of action in 2016. What a great year that was.. er, moving on.

 

The first (and only) anniversary entry is here from Niceland who celebrate hitting contest #50 by sending Declan 'What Do You Think About the Car?' McKenna and the brilliant “Humungous” which deserves a fair shot here. We've also got indie-heads Suedeonia who have 1 Top 10 finish in their 52 contest history and that one made it to the position that matters, the #1. Here they've enlisted new Lancaster band Mr Ben & the Bens and their brand of indie-folk-pop to try and get a second Top 10 hit. BuzzJack Mountain make a welcome return to 137 chasing that elusive first T10 with Hazmusic's “Delight” and Zanmatony have taken us back to ... well wherever Pavel is currently staying because there is no internet and it is 1997 where Tamagotchi's are the THING. We also have some lovely synth-wave from Aelandor and some catchy alternative pop from Aesthetica.

 

 

Oh wow this detail!!! Looking incredible

 

Lemme wait for my reveal with my fellow 2012 classmates~

Gonna be literally last to be announced here but you do save the best for last after all

 

That's the spirit ! x

I think Aesthetica's is the first song I know!

All the class of 2016 having comparatively high levels of DNQs *.* Loving the stats by the way!

I remember 'Humongous' being the first song that I particularly enjoyed from Declan McKenna - he has been a bit of a hit or miss artist for me in general but this was certainly a good choice from him for an anniversary entry!

 

 

Let’s see if I can break the drag music curse with the help of Allie X :cheer:

CUMU137: SEMI-FINAL ID CHECKS: THE CLASS of 2015

 

**TRANCE KLAXON**

 

Yes lads - the party is really heating up. I approve.

 

Dobago kick off this mid-2010s year of debutants and they always bring the tunes, and have not let us down this time. For 137 we've got some delicious melodic trance from Ana Criado on this Stoneface & Terminal remix of “Can’t Hold Back The Rain” - bonus points there for the meteorological reference! Summericia keep the party going with this early 2000s slice of trance from The Mystery. *Air horn*

Jade made her debut in 2015 but has already posted some pretty impressive stats- for 137 Jadakissnia are taking the level down a notch for the chilled vibe of folk from Finnegan Tui but fear not as we've some more melodic house from Cor Lupas and the Mark Knight remix of Avira & Diana Miro's “The Worship”. For those tired of all the dance we have both Taahino (represented by Australian band Stand Atlantic) and Flynnonda bringing some catchy pop-punk (although the algorithm has labelled it as 'rock' - silly thing) from an exciting new four piece out of Manchester, they are Hot Milk and for 137 they are representing them with “I Think I Hate Myself”.

We also have Thelonia with some excellent 90s sampling breakbeat loveliness from Irish DJ Uncle Knows - “Hypa” is hypa !

 

ooh I've definitely heard of that Stand Atlantic song! thank you triple j :heart: :heart:

 

hopefully I won't be doing in between okay and mediocre like I've been doing most of the year? please?

I like that hit rate reminder after a couple of underwhelming performances lately *.*

Dani Harmer signed a £2 million recording contract only to be dropped after her first single flopped!

 

It is a tune though

I hope you have enough room to fit in the stars representing Aeroche's wins when you get to them :lol:

 

Cor Lupus having 3 wins when no nation that joined after them has more than one. What a flop nation etc.

Sorry, I missed off Thelonia - have added them back and it's a BANGER.

 

Please speak up if I make any other omissions, it's a bit of a car crash I know.
