There may have been other intermittent ones / one-offs - still a clean sweep of all those which have had 8 or more editions would be mightily impressive!

Congrats Addy… again!

Oh my! My Top 2 are the same as the Final Leaderboard Top 2!

omg 19th thanks to the 20 points from Chez and 15 points from Rich and Julian!!

Congratulations Addy! An enjoyable winner!

I’m happy with 12th and over 100 points, thanks to all the voters, lovely to see it get some high marks including a top score from Rollo.

Thanks for hosting Cody.

Still yet to crack the top 5 after 8 years of competing but just about beat my previous peak of 7th, yay thank you to all who pointed 'Sunset Key Melt'! I try to avoid artist recycling where possible, as I get more satisfaction from introducing people to a new artist, but I had a really strong feeling to send this Tim Hecker song when I came across it despite Bré entering him to BJSC in the past.

Congratulations Addy you're on a roll at the moment *.* your entry was my 4th favourite, so a great winner. In fact all of my top 4 are in the top 5 😍

Thank you for hosting, Cody!

There it is - congratulations Addy! as soon as you sent KABEAUSHÉ in Bop Idol I thought this could do well, so was gutted it was from 2023 and couldn't be used there - glad it's got its flowers here!

Wonder if Roi would have made the top 3 with my 20 instead of my 15, great result for them anyway and 8th for my actual 20.

Woohoo at being 15th, another position ticked off! Also better than it looked for most of the evening after an early points flurry.

Thank you Cody for hosting!

Congratulations Addy on another win and thanks to Cody for hosting.

11th place was a bit better than I was expecting for my song, thanks to all who voted for it.

Bravo Addy! I came close which is unprecedented for me in this contest but that's easily my best result to date, thanks for all the support to Boy Harsher!

Thank you Cody on an enjoyable presentation.

Congrats yet again Addy, was a very quirky and standout track, now please give the rest of us a chance! That whole top 4 is excellent so I have no qualms in being just below, I was worried this one would blend into the background if anything so 5th is a lovely surprise, thanks to all voters, have a cute rat gif x

I enjoyed all of that top 10 to some extent so that's a great result and some good ones just outside as well, only bad thing is Metastasis doing so badly, where's the appreciation for the greats x

Thanks for hosting, Cody, was a great edition as always, hope we can fit in another one of these before the year's out x

oh my

thank you everyone, this is my first UP win

It's so funny that this and Uche Yara charted #1 in my personal charts back in 2023 and I always thought about to send them in Nuggets and in this contest!!! Then as @jimwatts mentioned, I tried sending Kabeaushe in Bop Idol but it got vetoed, which now I'm glad it did . I knew they could do well but both of them winning in different contests, it really feels special and unique to me <3, so thank you.

Actually, if this contest didn't happen before Debbii winning BJSC, I would probably sent Kabeaushe in BJSC as AQ

Last but not least, thank you @Cody Piastri for hosting <3

I don't know how people were paying attention enough to clock that KABEAUSHÉ would end up winning!

Well done Addy, truly the king of song contests am sure it won't be too long before you claim a Bop Idol win too for the clean sweep of currently regular contests x I'll need to check out the 'full' version of the song but it still got a couple of points from me even with thinking it was a little too short based on the YouTube version.

(per Jim's post, there is also the Movie Forum Song Contest which has had 3 editions but it's been a while since the last one so who knows if it'll ever return again, plus a widget was awarded for the Drag Race Song Contest but not sure if that was meant to be a one off or not. Also there was a one off Sports Forum Song Contest ages ago which didn't yield a widget iirc and most iconically of all the now even more buried in history than it already was Shoutbox Song Contest, plus a second edition of it which never got results. And I suppose also the Artist Forum Song Contest was a thing but that was a bit different).

Not far off in my prediction for Nfract, glad the bad start for it was misleading! Voted for 7 of the top 10 in total so good going there, particularly glad to see my top pointer 100%WET sneaking in as well as both of the others from my podium being in the lower half of the top 10, hooray for a much better result for Tim Hecker than his 35th place in BJSC. And nice at RATPAJAMA being top 5 not too far behind Boy Harsher.

feeble little horse and Surgeon both far too low </3 and would have liked Doctor B's to be a bit higher too but at least it did also recover after floundering at the bottom for some time.

Not quite a top 10 for myself in the end indeed but just about making it to triple figure points and finishing in the top half, that'll do me for an obviously divisive entry (I wonder if anyone was really having a bad time with it on SyncTube xx).

Thanks Cody for the hostings, an enjoyable edition! And now for the customary hoping that we don't have to wait a whole year for the next one again x

Alas no one ever will be EGOT

Funny though how I missed first edition of Drag Race Song Contest , and funnier finding out that the winning song is the same I won as well in one of the BJSC Spin Off :o

FINAL POINTS SPREAD

Third hosting job in 6 months finally done! Thanks so much to everyone for the kind words! Apologies for crashing out around the end, the forum features seemed to have stopped working on my laptop but then only gradually started working when I switched to mobile so maybe that’s the move going forward? 😅 congrats to Addy and also to Dobbo for getting my top points 🤪 and f*ck all of y’all for letting Mintage flop

Thanks for the points: @FrankLuck @Julian_ @Herbs @Dobbo @HarryGarfield @jimwatts @AllStarBySmashMouth @CowTzy 🥰🥰🥰

Oh wow I didn’t expect my 20 to win, it happens quite rarely in song contests. Yay for a double win for Addy, that’s very impressive.

So even if I'd given my 20 instead of 15 to Videoclub that wouldn't have taken it above 4th - would have lost a tiebreak to Boy Harsher on fewer 15s.

Addy truly is mother collecting all these wins! Congrats!

Thank you Cody for finally bringing UP back 🖤

It was such a great mix of entries (justice for feeble little horse!) — can’t wait to see what everyone brings to the next Unknown Pleasures later this year

I'm happy with a top ten finish for 'Over Me'. It feels right that tastemakers @Brer and @Doctor Blind love it as much as I do 🖤

new emote alert?

I for one welcome our cute new overlords

Make it happen

Congratulations Addy!

Thanks for @gooddelta @Severin @HarryGarfield @Suedehead2 @Iz 🌟 @King Rollo @leww @seven. @J00prstar @jimwatts @AllStarBySmashMouth and @RabbitFurCoat who voted for Godiego, and congratulations to Harry for being the only one who somehow connected my entry to Anime! So yes, I slipped an actual late '70s anime song which I knew a few months ago.

But then one thing bothered me a bit.

1. The artist or band must not have reached the top 75 of the UK singles chart, nor the top 40 of the UK albums chart. We are looking for obscure songs that will be new discoveries for most, if not all, the other participants.

Shouldn't I get vetoed because of the pic below? 😅

Yes, I did send Godiego also because Gandhara was quite popular among the anime culture and learned that it was a Top 100 hit, but I unintentionally misread the first rule as the song instead of the artist/band.

Oh. It took me some time to find something to send and turned out I probably could've tried sending a song from an act that actually scraped the UK Top 40 in the 90's once and never again.
