February 14Feb 14 Thanks Wardy for compiling this! I'd been looking forward to seeing where my own five podium finishers would appear - only disc 2 untouched, I guess my aim for 2026 is to make it onto all 4 discs! Great to see GusGus adjacent to Blanck Mass as my favourite BJSC discovery of the year. I remember voting for many of the songs from other contests but haven't heard a lot of them since, so will be glad to listen to them all again!

The melody of the fast bit of that song was sampled by Cappella's 1993 #2 hit 'U Got 2 Let the Music'. 80s influencing 90s!Don't remember taking part in a Club Bizarre? 🤭
February 17Feb 17 Enjoyed listening through the playlist! I was trying to work out what the missing song was, and then I remembered Severin's winning entry to the "1997" edition TBSCITW...E! right at the start of last year isn't on Spotify, Curve - Chinese Burn, so I've given that a re-listen on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jimow8rxOVgI did notice the Buzzfestivalen top 3 were missing though - was this an editorial because of space per disc, or it not being a regular contest? Hoping it's one of those and not that the contest dragged on for so long and then got so buried in the BJSC forum that everyone forgot about it and Scotland 2's victory there...

February 17Feb 17 Disc 1 Track 1! 🤩I also made the sweep of featuring on all 4 discs as well - I'd forgotten all about sending Rose Rouge so that was a surprise when I saw it. Definitely one of my most successful years in song contests across the site so all in all a good year!I always enjoy the yearly compilation as it's a great reminder of what did well and always some I'd forgotten about - thank you for compiling it @awardinary

February 17Feb 17 Oh I forgot about BJFest, I think my entry from Cannelle was a surprise 3rd placer?!So for… entirely unselfish reasons… I’d approve of those sneaking on Edit: ah indeed, memory not entirely failing me yet
February 17Feb 17 Apologies in this case to @!!! @blacksquare and @Jade and we will make room for you all.
February 17Feb 17 Thanks @awardinary for creating that amazing Podium Best of 2025 <3I counted 7 entries that I've sent in various contests and I didn't think I was going to have as many, considering last half of 2025 was really weird for us, especially in BJSC lol.
February 18Feb 18 Lmao I completely forgot about the Scandipop spinoff and delighted to see Madison Beer on there as well! thought ALT BLK ERA was gonna be it considering how much I sucked at a lot of the genre contests this year (especially the second half of the year)
March 12Mar 12 Author Would anyone like to try their hand at a genre we haven't covered yet?We've got an annual (from the 20th century) coming very soon. : much excite:
