I think the bronzes are the best group for me, I love my top seven of those! The silvers it's probably only the top four I still really like a lot now. We did have a very good year for winners though, I like my top six a lot and think I only didn't vote for Situations and Screamland but both are solid.

I think it's fair to say I did not get the results for 161 at all :lol: Great year for Kluminican Republic in my eyes though, probably my #1 country of the year.

I don't know...maybe something like this <3

good winners even if I don't have much reason to return to that pop trio from 163-165, King Of The Slugs and Screamland are both going into the GOAT bucket for me.

 

for the runners up, Sadness and The Postal Service being popular enough to get a second place was incredible, even if I find Summer Dreaming the most fun of the lot.

 

mix of really great pop and alt offerings at the top of the bronzes

 

guess this makes 161 and 166 as the best contests with their medallists for me.

Now THIS is where the quality is :wub: wow, pretty sure I pointed all of these (apart from Deep Blue Sea obv and Halo Flip maybe?) And I did not realise that Deep Blue Sea not only got the most points of the year for a 3rd placer but also scored more than all the other runners up and half of the winners!

The standards have been high this year, and it was an honour to finally join a podium for the first time ever with Vitesse X and pointing many of the eventual winners. Fat Dog definitely being the highlight of the year for me and I am so glad I discovered that song via this contest.

A huge variety of different nations appearing in my personal medalists for each contest this year, and a mixed group of genres too. Very much enjoyed hearing many of these for the first time, and many of my gold medalists I will be returning to again in the future.

I can only fairly rate those I bought and played a lot so:

 

Gold:

 

1st: BJSC 169: [303] Father John Misty – Screamland {Terra Avium}

 

2nd: BJSC 163: [312] RONDÉ – Undecided {République d'Áskorza}

 

3rd: BJSC 165: [322] METTE – Bet {Hendinia}

 

 

Bronze:

 

1st: BJSC 164: [252] Ben Hemsley feat. Chenai – Closer {Freedonia} million seller for me aka inside my all-time top 1000

 

sorry! just 4 that I charted from the top 3, though I enjoyed a lot of the others

Something like that. BJSC 163 is what I remember the least (except Deep Blue Sea which is fab) and that is also the month of my year that I remember the least as it was a bit wild x

 

Silver medals notably weaker than winners and also bronze medalists I think.
