Hopefully returning with style!

Welcome :yahoo: Can't wait to hear it yay!

Entered, a change of direction for this entry.

 

 

It took a week but we have our first clash…!

 

We also have vetoes incoming and I’ll be messaging the affected peeps shortly ~

There are a few more vetoes coming, sorryyy they're on the late side again (although they're within the original deadline this time so an improvement on last month technically x). There's one there that I would have got sorted out at the same time as Caroline Polachek if I had realised it was also going to be an auto-veto oops (I had completely forgotten the song in question was already a hit in one of the other song contests until looking it up yesterday)

What’s the participants number at now Ben? Must be close to 60 now with only a few hours to go.

We're at 57 now, though 4 need to re-confirm.

^ about to be 5 now as one more veto is coming oops (I think this will be the last one though unless we have last minute entries / reconfirmations that get vetoed)

Here are details of the four latest vetoes ~

 

ITZY - WANNABE (English Version) 25

- artist came 28th in BJSC 129 3

*- charted at #6 in South Korea last year 10

*- peaked at #95 on the global Spotify chart last year

*- finished 2nd in the Pop Forum Song Contest in May 2020 12

*- appeared in 2 personal charts, neither of which are current BJSC participants

*- low to mid level blog coverage

*these points apply to the original Korean version of the song, but the English version is not substantially different, only has translated lyrics

 

MUNA - Silk Chiffon (feat. Phoebe Bridgers) 23.75

- MUNA came 34th in BJSC 83, 2nd in BJSC 92 and 29th in BJSC 124 3+12

- Phoebe Bridgers' most recent album charted at #6 in the UK last year 1.75

- appeared in 2 personal charts, 1 of which is a BJSC participant (Doctor Blind)

- has a thread in the Indie forum with 4 replies

- would classify as at least moderate Internet / blog exposure (covered on NME, Rolling Stone, StereoGum, Billboard etc.) 7

 

Vengaboys - 1999 (I Wanna Go Back) 17

- artist had 9 UK top 40 hits including 7 top 10 hits in 1998-2001 (4 top 40 and 2 top 10 post-2000, falling just short of threshold as specified under the framework), highest position #1 for 'Boom, Boom, Boom Boom!!' and 'We're Going To Ibiza!'

- cover of '1999' by Charli XCX and Troye Sivan 10

- appeared in 4 personal charts, 2 of which are BJSC participants (AH Gold, Kath)

- has a thread in the Pop forum with 20 replies, also was in WhoOdyssey's Track of the Week poll receiving 13 votes

- moderate Internet / media exposure (release covered on some mainstream news outlets as well as music blogs, also prompted an article on the Official Charts website which was reposted to the BuzzJack chart forum with 13 replies) 7

 

Prospa - Ecstasy (Over & Over) 8

- artist came 36th in BJSC 115 3

- charted at #77 in the UK last year 5

- charted in the BuzzJack Multichart for 7 weeks last year peaking at #59; appeared in 10 personal charts, 6 of which are BJSC participants (AH Gold, Bré, danG, Doctor Blind, Jade, WhoOdyssey)

- was B-Listed on Radio 1 last year (just outside the last 12 months, removed from playlist in early August 2020)

- has a thread in the Dance forum with 30 replies

- mid level blog coverage

- *mod discretion*: technically falls short of the veto threshold but still clearly a well-known song that had mainstream success and significant attention from BuzzJack which is still fairly recent

 

Looking at whose left to confirm, I would be surprised if we don’t get entries from these nations to maintain their participation streak;

Lotunia

Persephonia

POPHub

Trifoski

Ultraviolenceland

But also hoping there’s still a chance of one of these other countries entering if they happen to be seen online this evening (maybe someone can nudge them :P);

• Arcodesia

Beaverdonia

Chestoria

Elëdan

Fljótavík

Holland-oats

Kingdom of Horanius

Kylienips

Numayania

Palmyra

Sandebörg

Sandénia

Scherzland

Varakë

Vülkyria

Zaminton

Oh wow if Vengaboys or Prospa were allowed to go through that would decide my top scores already! :wub:

I actually know all of those - seems fair! 'Ecstasy (Over & Over)' is a banger :wub:

My PFSC so iconic people continue to recycle from it in here :cheeseblock:

Will enter a song later today ^_^ Just need to choose between a few songs that I want to send.

Had no idea what to send so have gone for 90s jazz as that rarely seems to get entered :kink:

I'm very tempted to send something that's a little mainstream by Persephonian standards but nonetheless deserves some more attention on here (I know of a grand total of three other people in BJSC who have acknowledged the existence of the artist in question though I wouldn't be surprised if some others know of them too). Joining the rock bloc if I do go with that xx
