Very impressive stats there, especially getting a top 10 almost every one in three contests!

Jadakissnia will have the honour of unveiling our 100th entry!

Congrats! This was a true crossover bop that deserved to win.

Fingers crossed for something more experimental next time to use that AQ!

Wow that's pretty wild when you put it like that! Grateful for how these first 10+ years of competing have played out so far.

Ooh excellent wub I remember Aquafina's 50th being the anniversary entry last time I hosted. Excited to find out what song you pick!

Thank youuuuu, glad you were a fan <3

Yep that's the plan, I have something more alt in mind that I think would be on shaky ground without the safety net of an AQ!

BJSC 179

Sara Zozaya - Blu

The latest edition of BJSC is currently under way in our very own nation thanks to Erin LeCount's victory in BJSC 178! This success banked us an auto-qualifier, so we decided to select something that could've been on shaky ground without this safety net.

Jadakissnia wanted to return to inspired roots off the back of a recycle and we ended up with a song that hasn't even hit 2k views yet. 'Blu' by Sara Zozaya is a slow-burn Basque entry with gorgeous ambient yet also cinematic qualities, with its post-rock edge.

We have now hit a round 10 qualifiers in a row thanks to the automatic pass to the final, hooray! 'Blu' can be found in slot #31.

As hosts, we voted in both semi finals. We did not lose any votes from semi 2 but had to say goodbye to the following in semi 1:

03 Lotunia • Lucy Camp - Tricks

02 Trifoski • The Books - A Cold Freezin' Night

Trifoski just 1 point away, noooooo. </3 better than expected in such a pop heavy semi though to be fair.

BJSC 179 Results

Sara Zozaya - Blu

32nd place | 112 points

We have now concluded our hosting duties following a high quality, memorable, MUNA-esque month in Jadakissnia. My auto-qualifier 'Blu' by Sara Zozaya gave us a 32nd place result in the final, with 112 points. This is our lowest finish of the year so far and our worst overall since 'cigarette burns' by moonvampire DNQed last year, in BJSC 169. But we can't begrudge a place in the final, especially when extending our Q streak to a pleasing 10 in the process. 'Blu' is also our 92nd qualifier to date so we'll definitely be eyeing up a round 100 Qs next year as a goal! This is our second 32nd place finish, following Natalia Nykiel's 'P.R.I.D.E.' four years ago in BJSC 140. Despite the low finish, we are still riding high in 3rd place in the latest YTD update, so continue chasing a best ever finish there with only one contest left in 2025. To be honest, our own result was eclipsed by the excitement of hosting in general. Thank you to everyone who took part in BJSC 179, we loved having you all *.*

This time we were bestowed the honour of announcing the winning nation, FSR Rontvia. They achieved their victory with Estonian pick 'Luukered' by SADU, a first win in 11 years, their last pre-dating our time in the contest. A huge congratulations to them once again! The people of Jadakissnia know that we're passing the baton over to a safe pair of hands. On a taste level, we were chuffed with 'Luukered' as a champion, awarding it 10 points. Our gold medal went to Sovarasma with gazing-at-shoes stunner 'o(type)' by Lemondaze. This entry had a bit of a slow burn journey during the final results but eventually found its feet with a respectable 16th place finish. Silver was then awarded to Cumulonimbia with full fat banger 'COMET' by Ushko which smashed in 6th place, peaking in 2nd at one point. Pestolia rounded off our podium with a song we knew pre-contest, the fantastic team-up between Pearly Drops & Cub Sport, entitled 'Mermaid'. This was an underrated entry that finished right next to our own, in 33rd place. Still, at least it did make the final.

Now it's time to sit back, relax and unleash our 180 pick.

These were our BJSC 179 final votes in full:

18 Sovarasma • Lemondaze - o(type)

15 Cumulonimbia • Ushko - COMET

BJSC 180 Results

Death Hags - Oublie Moi

DNQ - 23rd | 36 points

We were hoping to round off 2025 with a full house of qualifiers but that didn't quite go to plan! Jadakissnia unleashed French experimental dark synth entry 'Oublie Moi' from LA based artist Death Hags. This song was recorded for a Twin Peaks homage compilation and quickly hooked me in with its moody atmosphere and build-up of synths. 'Oublie Moi' was placed 6th in semi final 1 but sadly fell short of advancing to the final stage, finishing 23rd with 36 points. This was a particularly gutting time to DNQ as we were 3rd place in the latest YTD update, potentially on course for a new personal best, but this result was now guaranteed to boot us back down at the final hurdle. It was revealed yesterday that our EOY position is a frustrating 11th (with 1623 points) however this is still an improvement on last year's 16th. Overall, we cannot grumble about 2025, as 9 qualifiers is still a strong result and we took home a win, plus three further top 10 results. So, thank you to all of the support shown to Jadakissnia during our 10th anniversary year! We look forward to hopefully coming back strong in 2026 with a classic gothic sound up our sleeve for the next contest.

Jadakissnians may have watched the final from the sidelines but still had plenty to root for in FSR Rontvia. The host nation continued to work their magic on our people as we awarded them an unprecedented 4th (!) set of 18 points this year, with the glorious 'Only Girl' by Man/Woman/Chainsaw. We did know and love this song pre-contest but had to give it all of our support nevertheless. This AQ finished in a respectable 13th place. Somehow, we were merely FSR Rontvia's second biggest fan this year despite the onslaught of top points, with Skall showing them even more love. Elsewhere, our silver medal went to A-Konohagakure, our highest points to this nation to date by far. This was for their latest pick 'Tumbal Proyek' by Sukatani. The pounding, gothic, post-punk sound was immediate Jadakissnia bait but the love spread far and wide, as 'Tumbal Proyek' achieved an impressive 7th place finish! Our podium was rounded off with the song that placed just ahead of Sukatani. This was Skall's gorgeous downtempo entry 'Rodl Glide' by Oneohtrix Point Never, achieving 241 points for that 6th place result. The winning song was ultimately revealed as Austra's 'Fallen Cloud'. This track fell short of our votes but was a commiseration nevertheless. Congrats to Danæviia on the victory, we look forward to your nation taking on hosting duties!

Thank you to FSR Rontvia for their fabulous hospitality.
