October 3, 20222 yr Oh yay for Mamman managing to make someone's medal positions in the end, definitely wasn't expecting that! Thank you very much Dan <3 (I guess it would kind of make sense for you to be its biggest fan with it appealing to the minimal piano-y side of your taste) Vicious Pink really just dominating this though, so many 12s!!

Congratulations to Jade. The battle for 2nd place rages on. 12 points from Daan help John Foxx go back to that position while only one point separates the songs in 3rd, 4th and 5th.
October 3, 20222 yr Ty Dan for a few points there, hopefully that's enough to avoid the bottom of the table!
October 3, 20222 yr Oh wow this must surely be the most top scores I've ever received for a song contest entry?! Merci RabbitFurCoat :wub: Gosh is there anything Jade can’t win. :drama: Unknown Pleasures and Pop Forum Song Contest :teresa:
October 3, 20222 yr Very happy with that win for Vicious Pink… maybe the radio edit would have done worse after all! Or possibly just blitzed everything even more easily :lol:
October 3, 20222 yr Congrats Jade on already mathematically having the win then! :cheeseblock: I am quite pleased that this didn't just end up being a win for Pet Shop Boys / Depeche Mode, not that these were super well known songs by them of course but still imagine they will have enjoyed at least a little bit of familiarity bias.
October 3, 20222 yr Wow, very deserved lead for Vicious Pink! Why did it flop so hard on release? Lack of promo/airplay? It had an 11-week Top 100 run though! 96-81-78-86-83-80-75-{67}-72-68-85
October 3, 20222 yr Congrats Jade, such a fantastic track, and I'd never heard of the artist either, a really inspired choice.
October 3, 20222 yr Jade about to start her fifth row of widgets then! Congrats Oh we don’t have one yet… but if someone wants to design an OAP disco dancing on a zimmer frame then that would be just fab

October 3, 20222 yr Oh we don’t have one yet… but if someone wants to design an OAP disco dancing on a zimmer frame then that would be just fab I figured we could rely on Wardy asking for one to be made :kink:
October 3, 20222 yr Congrats Jade on a quite spectacular win! Didn't see this landslide coming at all, but I'm really pleased an inspired song won and a great one at that. Rooting for Charlie or John Foxx to get 2nd! Jade about to start her fifth row of widgets then! Congrats Ooh we don't have one yet actually, someone give Joseph a nudge x
October 3, 20222 yr I figured we could rely on Wardy asking for one to be made :kink: Hey it’s not for me! Jade might not want one anyway. :P But if I were to select something that described best song contest ever in a retro forum it would be a jukebox!
