LOVED the airline theme so would happily have it recycled. It’s a lot of expect a host to come up with something new every time, so if you’ve got a good concept, roll with it!

Now that I’m fully rested, once again I just want to thank everyone <3

I will host next edition, even though my schedule is a mess but I’ll make it work.

I am blanking to come up with something fresh theme wise, because of time constraints etc. etc. so most probably will just recycle my theme (sorry, I know it’s overdone) but those boarding passes are ready to be printed

I loved this theme!

Congratulations @Addy! - and many thanks to @Josh! for hosting.

Interesting to see Lov3less came 20th in her semi by only 1 point! Anyway, thanks to the voters for this Dutch Delight, and back to pure pop I guess, for a round hosted by Addy hehehe

Been making my way through SF1 and I'm so glad I am doing... Model/Actriz is great! <3

It was actually about to DNQ until the last vote which was Jacob/Aelandor’s late vote!! That was so juicy to add up

Edited May 2May 2 by Josh!

Late but congrats to Botanikka! I didn't vote it but I voted for the next 3, plus I made the top 10 which I'm very happy about. A little less inspired in terms of artist than my last success, but one of his most chaotically structured and avant garde tracks while still being recognisably Burial, so worth showing off for those reasons I believe!

My only entry under 6 minutes this year performed dreadfully whereas the others all made the top 11 which is a sign, sorry to the long song haters xx

YTD update (see here for previous positions)

Kluminican Republic jump out into a stronger lead while Bøtanikkä's win pushes them up from #7 to #2, then there are 3 countries tied on points for 3rd to 5th place right now (I normally don't bother specifying the tiebreaks in these updates but they are always broken as in regular contests first by number of votes then by 18s etc., so Jadakissnia are currently 3rd with 100 votes, 5 18s and 8 15s, Neliönoir 4th with 100 votes, 5 18s and 5 15s and Cor Lupus 5th with 98 votes). Bronzil and Greenfroze both climb into the top 10 in place of Fljótavík and Ajanaeda.

Thanks Bré for the update, yay for top 10 and the highest I've been in a YTD so far! (Previous best was 10th after 7 contests last year.)

Jadakissnia’s shadow is growing stronger developing breathable atmosphere for everyone especially the fellow tied 4th and 5th placers 🥰

ooh a climb into the prestigioueous top 27, we stan

Still higher than I finished last year!

If I enter every BJSC comp for the rest of the year I’ll stay higher right?!

it’s gonna be a real fight to try to re-peak this year (gunning for my best EOY position since 2017!) but in terms of redemption - not bad! much better than most of last year for sure
