WOW! Suedehead2 has grabbed the winner on the last set of votes! It would have been a much neater way of presenting the results had certain ones not reminded me of errors and changed the votes midway through the results. I will need to do some tidying up of the figures, but there are your results, and full results will be shared in spreadsheet form shortly.

Congratulations goes to Suedehead2 on his first Nuggets victory! :cheer:

Congratulations Suedey! Thanks very much Wardy.

Such a great win! Congrats Suede! I think this might be the first time my top three all managed top five in any contest, although this is also the third contest this year where top five looked possible and then I fell out at the end. *.*

My votes snatching the win away from one of my big faves to give it to another one of my big faves :cheeseblock: Well done Suede, a fantastic winner, glad that the lack of Spotify support didn't hamper it.

 

I'll save commenting on the rest until the tiebreaks are sorted but am hopeful I may have managed to snatch 10th place there (sorry Jerd if I knock you out of the top 10 on that tiebreak :teresa: although goals @ us finishing with the same number of points anyway x)

Thanks for putting up with me everyone, sorry it was not one of my vintage results shows.

I'm gobsmacked :o I knew I had satisfied the entry requirements by entering a very guitar heavy song, but I didn't expect it to win. As far as I know, this is all they ever released :o

Thanks for running this Wardy :D

naurrrrr i swapped my +10 and +8 right before i sent my votes 😩

 

still happy with that though, never expected to get that high at all, and a great song still won!!

 

maybe this is karma for the cursed entry i sent to the current bjsc lol

Ooft that's a close one, both fantastic though in very different ways! Congrats Suedehead :cheer: Love seeing all my top 3 do so well, East of Eden is the best Asian song contest entry I've heard in a long time and not much to complain about as all my votes finished quite respectfully (apart from Kingdom, aww x)

 

I was sure this would flop after the first few votes and Synctube reaction so very pleased to continue my top 10 streak + 100% top 10 record with Lights and Motion <3 He was probably my introduction to post rock and continues to be really good to this day. Thank you for all the votes and I would highly recommend his back catalogue, particularly my other two song contest entries, Fireflies and The Spectacular Quiet if you don't know them, they are two of my all time favourite songs of the genre.

 

Thanks for the efficient hosting, Wardy! ^_^

Thanks for running this Wardy :D

I wish I could have done better, I am not pleased with how I made mistakes over and over, the spreadsheet was too hard to handle tonight! :lol:

 

Tiebreaks have been accounted for in the above results.

Once again, I'm really sorry for not voting in time. I was listening to the 4th song in the playlist and my body suddenly want me to take a rest. I promise it won't happen again in future contests, esp. BJSC. If anything changed in the scoreboard, it'd be Iz's entry because I'd probably gave it an easy +12.

 

Congratulations to Suedehead for the win. I haven't checked your entry as well, so might be doing it later.

 

Thanks Wardy for the hosting. ^_^

Nice. A winning track that I gave a good amount of points. That is a big success for me as a participant!

Surprised you didn't like Wanda Jackson, Awardinary!!! :o

 

Some say Wanda was better thsn Elvis, but of course history remembers the man...

I wish I could have done better, I am not pleased with how I made mistakes over and over, the spreadsheet was too hard to handle tonight! :lol:

It's very easy to make mistakes! You hosted it very well.

Omg just caught up and surprised to see my entry finish mid-table :o I thought it would come last! So thank you everyone for giving me points, especially Leww for 10 points, and dhwe, Iz and Suede for 8 points. :wub: Congrats Suede on your first win! Not even the combined effort of Bre and I can bring Rabbit his victory though :( It was a great discovery nonetheless! Thanks Wardy for another round of fabulous hosting!! :wub:

It's very easy to make mistakes! You hosted it very well.

Thanks Simon! Now go get yourself a shiny new Guitar widget! :D

Sorry to be annoying :ph34r: but I'm pretty sure ties are usually broken first by number of votes (although tbf I think that's more just a convention that's usually copied over from BJSC than a specifically proscribed rule for Nuggets - and in fact while digging back through some old results it seems it's only been in the last 5 or so contests that hosts have bothered breaking ties at all - so it's kind of a case of both myself and Jade having a Schrödinger's 10th place finish :kink: I guess this matters less in the absence of a stats thread x)

 

In any case ~ this is the second time in the span of two weeks (after the Foreign Language III spinoff) where my entire top 4 have finished in the top 5 of a song contest on here so that's kajda krejza - the absolute taste on display once again *.* And even better here because I also voted for the other song in the top 5 and the one in 6th as well! In fact literally only one of my votes finished in the bottom half (Ocean Alley, my 2 pointer) so basically nothing to complain about at all here. Full Of Hell being top half is ikonek in particular x

 

When I found my song (shoutout to a YouTube video by Drew Gooden where he mentioned a metal song with an incredible saxophone solo which I had to immediately check out lmao) I had a rare level of confidence that I could actually have a pretty big hit on my hands - I suppose 10th/11th fits the bill well enough, I see it had the joint 2nd most votes out of all the songs here as well which is pretty reaffirming but just a lot of them being lower scores ofc. Glad that it was generally well received. Thanks muchly to Dan and Suede for the only medals (both golds!), close to a 12 swap with the latter! Then also thanks to Dobbo, Savan, Wardy, Chez, Rollo, Jade, Nate, Whoddy, AllStar, Cody, RFC and Julian for the rest of the pointage, good thing I kept a list since I had to wait until the very end to be able to acknowledge any of them :basil:

 

Thanks Wardy for the hosting and I apologise that I inadvertently stressed you out near the end, I really shouldn't have said anything oops. I didn't point out the scoreboard error to try and pressure you into fixing it on the fly, I was just noting it to make it easier to troubleshoot if it somehow didn't fix itself by the end which I'm 99% sure it would have done but nevermind!
