July 17, 2024Jul 17 Woo Cheiron have arrived! :dance: Shame I can't support your entry this time as in the other semi! :nocheer:
July 25, 2024Jul 25 Author Cheiron have made the final!! :cheer: @Wardy, a shame but at least we both made the grand finale. :heart: @Dobbo glad you enjoy it!! I’ve been a bit obsessed with it/them since I first heard it so had to submit it. :lol:
August 28, 2024Aug 28 Didn't even realise your first two entries both came 28th, kinda ikonik tbh x ('Blame Brett' did deserve better than that, was a massive grower for me)
August 29, 2024Aug 29 Author Thanks Bre tbh I expected Blame Brett to do a bit better. :lol: It felt very brat.
September 12, 2024Sep 12 Author Well Selfish Soul managed to bag a point more than Blame Brett despite finishing 8 places lower so it was a success of some kind. :lol:
September 22, 2024Sep 22 Author Cheiron’s 168 entry is a straight up lesbian anthem from the female duo 76th Street. CoxQNZxlYsQ
October 23, 2024Oct 23 Author Cheiron is serving up some Mexican Rock for 169. :D I discovered this band through reading about this year's EMAs, where they'll be performing (and also nominated for Best Push Artist). They've been releasing music for 9 years but only seem to now be making a wave internationally with their recent album Keep Me Fed. My entry is already in my sig so here's a live performance: cZWSDsDsbZU
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Author Cheiron have sourced talent from Ireland for our 170 entry! I discovered CMAT through a Spotify rabbit hole when searching for my vetoed Club Bizarre entry (Georgia :teresa:). She had a few songs that were shortlisted for the contest but 'Where Are Your Kids Tonight?' was the standout of the bunch. I personally love the 80s throwback sound, with very poignant lyrics throughout, and her voice in the middle-8 is exceptional. :wub: I had previously stuck to a more up-tempo pace with all my other entries so thought it was time to slow things down a bit. Hopefully other nations enjoy it as much as Cheiron! x Hh1IgLRKLQM
December 1, 2024Dec 1 Author CMAT and John Grant have made it through to the BJSC 170 final giving Cheiron 5 out of 6 qualifiers this year! :cheer: ThGKao3NR6A
January 20Jan 20 Author 171. Haute & Freddy - Scantily Clad tdZ53o5lMRQ This has been on my 171 shortlist since just after the previous contest wrapped up. I found myself wanting to relisten again and again so hopefully others share that experience. :kink: the video is a total serve too!
March 16Mar 16 Author 173NIGHT IN ATHENS - I SEARCH FOR A SIGNFor BJSC 173, Cheiron are going 80s-inspired dark wave with Night In Athens - a solo project by Greek artist Tina Boleti.
April 15Apr 15 Author 1 7 4MARIS featuring Caroline Kingsbury - Give Me A SignFound this song on some Spotify playlist a few weeks ago and was instantly hooked/adding it to my list of potentials for BJSC. The chorus is insanely catchy so hopefully this breaks my DNQ streak. 🤞
May 22May 22 Author 175Me & MeThe BeachesThis song has been in my vault for the past year, ever since I discovered The Beaches and their phenomenal album Blame My Ex. It continues the zero-f**ks attitude of Cheiron 166 entry Blame Brett, giving the middle-finger to relationships and embracing one’s own company! Who said brat summer ended? 😎
