October 3, 20231 yr Congratulations Summerica!!! Was a great track Will happily take 22nd and a 4th in the semi!
October 3, 20231 yr Summericia were 16 minutes away from a 33.3% deduction and therefore falling to 10th in the final, having submitted their votes at 23:44pm last night! Not the exposé *gasps*
October 3, 20231 yr Thrilled with 5th, thank you to everyone that gave Rachel points. I imagine it’s a very long time since I had back to back top 5 finishes so it’s really lovely to experience that again x
October 3, 20231 yr Well done Rob, a worthy winner and it helps make up for Lucia not winning last time :wub: Perfectly Untrue still awesome, and I very nearly entered Burning Castles (but went retro for a change of pace) so very glad you did enter it! :cheer: 3 winners inside 12 months is pretty consistent :o Fab hosting Oliver, and thanks voters, great to see Department S almost make the top 10 there, poor Vaughan Toulouse died far too young (of AIDS) and they came over like an early Smiths-vibe on Is Vic There. Thanks esp for all the golds from Rollo and Rob, Bre's silver, and Doctor Blind, Pete, Seven and Suedey's Bronzes!
October 3, 20231 yr Many congrats Rob! I don't remember the song at all oops but that's a convincing winning margin. Summericia's imperial phase rolls on~ Pretty exciting relegation dogfight there with the bottom 7 all within 9 points. Quit a lot of mealworm votes for Dobago it seems this time. And not by any means a semi scrape through either, in fact I would still have narrowly qualified even with a full deduction! My top 2 in the top 10 is pleasing to see, both levels clear of the rest. And a big hand to Oliver for the very aesthetically pleasing reveal.
October 3, 20231 yr I still would like to know if any of the semi regressions were close to the record
October 3, 20231 yr I can properly respond now. Omg what a relief...I literally gave up after first 10 sets of votes or so and I convinced myself that I will be in the bottom but thanks to you that didn't happen. Thank you everyone seriously for all of your votes...receiving 19 from Jade and Lewis was super amazing so thank you. Congrats to Roba, I felt it that it's going to win whoever was going to send it but kudos to you for being so consistent. And last but not least, amazing job Oliver hosting :clap:
October 3, 20231 yr When I chose my entry I thought it was most likely to appeal to Lewwwww and Addy so a little sad to see a nil points from Botanikka - I just associate you so much with 90s dance Addy! :lol: Awww sorry Dandy. I did like it initially when I listened through semi's playlist but kinda it didn't grow as much as I would love to. I'm glad you still did amazing with it though!!! :heart: Edited October 3, 20231 yr by Addy!
October 3, 20231 yr I still would like to know if any of the semi regressions were close to the record How is anyone going to outpace my win in the semi-final > bottom five in the final with Salsa Me by Spacetrain? I’m proud to hold one of the bad records as well as some of the good :lol:
October 4, 20231 yr I still would like to know if any of the semi regressions were close to the record Nowhere close. 'WEREWOLF' was 24 places lower than projected (15th -> 39th), the record is 31 places. You have had 2 previous entries that had bigger regressions yourself! (Loviet - Dullshine 29 places 11th -> 40th and OVRGRWN - Wasteland 27 places 6th -> 33rd). (Spacetrain's regression was 'only' 29 places as it was a fairly low scoring semi-final winner so only projected 7th! But it is by far the lowest final position for a semi-final winner, 10 places lower than VERIDIA - Still Breathing (Taahino BJSC 99, 26th))
October 4, 20231 yr One more fun stat, the record for all time most top 10 hits has been going back and forth a bit this year - Aeroche briefly overtook FSR Rontvia after BJSC 151 but this month FSR have taken the lead again (66 to 65)!
October 4, 20231 yr YTD update (last month's positions here for comparison) ~ Hendinia very slightly close the gap to Kathaldazia (to within 100 points), FSR Rontvia also climb back up to 3rd but only barely holding off Summericia whose latest win pushes them up 8-4, not to be written off as an EOY #1 contender still (although they'd most likely need the top 2 to falter at least once in the last two contests of the year). Altyr Muunilinst fall 3-5 despite their top 15 finish this month. Cumulonimbia, Aeroche, Jadakissnia and Lotunia all hold their places in the top 10 while Cor Lupus flop down 5-8, proving once again that they are the floppiest nation to ever exist. Me being on a satisfying 1,111 points :cheeseblock: but falling a place, swapping with Terra Avium. Still clinging onto the top 20 for dear life. 01 1986 Kathaldazia 02 1893 Hendinia 03 1643 FSR Rontvia 04 1636 Summericia 05 1595 Altyr Muunilinst 06 1529 Cumulonimbia 07 1527 Aeroche 08 1485 Cor Lupus 09 1383 Jadakissnia 10 1354 Lotunia 11 1279 Bøtanikkä 12 1269 St. Burbia 13 1245 République d'Áskorza 14 1242 Fljótavík 15 1201 Bronzil 16 1200 Kluminican Republic 17 1169 Singerpurear 18 1168 Quintessa 19 1116 Terra Avium 20 1111 Persephonia 21 1094 Lookylion 22 1082 Pestolia 23 987 Greenfroze 24 985 Thelonia 25 976 Cadelicia 26 964 Dobago 27 946 FARC 28 932 Skall 29 906 D'yermak'er 30 889 Aesthetica 31 875 Zanmatony 32 872 Scotland 2 33 860 Wholune 34 852 Sovarasma 35 850 Yobnedorica 36 820 Ojnoj 37 807 The Spodic Empire 38 803 Danæviia 39 773 Rolloland 40 751 Jupiterdonia 41 683 Séyetana 42 680 Ingermanlandia 43 662 Neliönoir 44 631 Beaverdonia 45 620 POPHub 46 607 Suedeonia 47 574 Utopia 48 530 Florina 49 518 Tartford 50 510 Pagasa 51 495 Aelandor 52 480 Ultraviolenceland 53 465 New Lexico 54 449 Trifoski 55 439 Taahino 56 428 Ramrynia 57 426 Eastovka 58 417 Yehesi 59 404 Pupok 60 398 N DNTN 61 357 Kingdom of Horanius 62 336 East Rukahavian 63 300 Ben's Sanctuary 64 291 Elëdan 65 273 Land of DW 66 269 Kylienips 67 266 Harmonica 68 238 Sergeistan 69 199 N-Lazone 70 186 Niceland 71 178 Kyriatine 72 176 (The Actual Republic of) Bellamia 73 174 Hushkanukia 74 165 Republic of Adonia 75 157 Maple Ridge 76 155 Buzzjack Mountain 77 153 Abeltesfayeton 78 148 Oslol 79 146 Sandénia 80 145 Varakë 81 137 Flynnonda 82 110 Bhangra 83 107 Conoria 84 0x1 Jandre 84 0x1 Land of Jack 84 0x1 Mulgracia 84 0x1 Sombrero 84 0x1 Vülkyria 89 0x2 Aquafina 90 0x3 Freedonia
October 4, 20231 yr If anyone can pull a landslide winner out of the bag at the end of the year to suddenly contend, it's Summericia. Watch out Kath and RobBot. There are three or four countries who are magnificent at constantly sending competitive entries, I've got imposter syndrome amongst Hendinia/Kath/Altyr up there. In 2009-2011 maybe it would have been more expected but we've been off the boil for such a long time. Intriguing 'most top tens' tussle ongoing with Aeroche, I didn't realise it was so close.
October 4, 20231 yr Catching up fashionably late oops! Fantastic hosting job Oli Oli Olivurrr! :cheer: Well done Roba on another big win! Not my kinda thing but I definitely can see the crossover appeal. That's our 3rd semi final win to-date, yay! Interesting that neither of our winners this year (Geo22 or Snow Strippers) won their semis, but K, who came 3rd in the final, did. And now Delia who finishes 9th! Thanks a lot to Dobbo and blacksquare for the 18s + Dandy, Jade, Addy and Lewis for the other medal points :heart: 'Tekknotrans' felt like a more bold and obscure entry for us, really happy with the response it got :wub: Looking at how close that 2-10 section is, I feel like just 1 or 2 more big fans could've been the difference between finishing 2nd or 9th!? DJ_Dave totally robbed! WTF The pressure is really on now with the current top 10 streak and that YTD ranking
October 4, 20231 yr These end of year charts are discriminatory toeards entries which send novelty anz/ or existenrial sangs, and Cody Floppingsberry and should be removed!!!
October 5, 20231 yr Thank you for hosting Oliver (lovely graphics :heart: ) and congrats to Rob S for getting another winner!! Very surprised by 10th - ty all for the votes!
October 6, 20231 yr Now I gotta decide if I want to go for something COMPLETELY different from anything I've sent before or if I want to send a banger I know will succeed...
