Big congrats to Dandy, well deserved! 🙌

Thanks to everyone who voted big for Dunes of Djoser, I see you!

And thanks for a super exciting way of presenting the final, Silas 🤩

What an incredible and deserved result for Dandy* — and the best top two of the year



I can't remember a top five I loved as much as mine this month, and MISS LUXURY has been my discovery of the year. Obsessed. Ra-ta-ta-ba-ta-ta



Expected the worst post-veto — for no reason other than being a ball of anxiety — so someone please slap me next time. Silas and I were messaging that morning ("9am meetings should be illegal") and scrambling to find our entries — lovely for us both to end up with great results tonight. Thank you, everyone 🖤

(Funny thought, my little good luck streak started with Ninajarichi this year — queen)

I stand by that. 9am meetings should be illegal,

i barely function before 10am

Yeah I don’t think it’ll ever replace the usual way of doing things, and nor should it, but you never know what might work out unless you try it. After 176 contests it’s good to still be trying out new things I think and I hope future hosts are encouraged to take a few risks and put their own spin on the proceedings

I’m happy the concept and vision I had in my head translated into a workable results show at the end of the day.

If I am allowed to host again u can be assured of an injection of another dose of chaos if that's what you mean by one's own spin on the proceedings xx

It was SO obvious to me from first listen that Infohazard sounded like as if had intentionally been created as BJSC bait. It really taps into dance, pop and something a bit more experimental all in one, so it was always going to appeal to every bloc. Completely deserving aswell, so nearly my 18 for a country that I don't vote for particularly often.

VERY happy with 9th place, didn't expect it to be top 10 at all (I see people saying I do it all the time but it's only my 2nd one of the year, it's been quite a middling year so far!) and glad that sending RnB-pop actually did better than I'd have foreseen.

Actually really loved this contest, I get fatigue from too many countries myself, so I think everything being condensed suits my lack of attention span. It helps that a lot of countries brought their A-game, so it also felt high quality AND condensed.

Great results concept too Silas, agreed that I wouldn't want it every time, but thought it was a fun change that kept me nervous to do each scroll incase I arrived. Thoroughly enjoyed it <3

Justice for this banger

FLJ was one of the ones I liked so I'm happy eith that winner

Just gonna bump this a sec

Ah ok, reason being then is you didn't add your own votes to your spreadsheet that's why it didn't add up.

Many thanks for the 4 points.

Edit: Never mind they were highlighted in a colour that's why it threw me.

I’m a chartered accountant, excel is quite literally my job 😅 Trust me, all the data is there

I’m not sure how you’d come to the conclusion that I didn’t bother putting my votes into the excel when you’re saying the total in column C that was copied into this thread is off by the exact value of the set of votes you overlooked, implying quite clearly that the excel is correct as its total matches the sum of the votes posted here. But ok.

Congrats Dandy, a great winner! Before confirming I considered sending a different Ninajirachi song, 'iPod Touch', kinda wish I'd done that after all 😄 but very happy with 12th that's a lot higher than I expected for myself! Thank you to all voters, especially Mothertopia for the 18 and thank you Silas for hosting a great contest!

Many congrats dandy! Unbelievable score that, just think in a bigger contest it may have been the first ever song to surpass 500 points great to see a long standing record broken anyway with biggest landslide victory. It's not hard to see why!

My 2nd and 3rd faves finishing top 2 is excellent, with 3 more of my faves also landing top 10. Really gutted to see Aeroche as low as 30th though really thought that could have been up there as well.

Mentioned it in the results thread but gaah as being just a few points shy of 26th rather than a fourth 27th placing, also means I just sneaked into the bottom 10. It probably picked up more votes (certainly as a proportion) than most of my top 10s tbh but looking through the scoreboard now I see quite a lot of 1s etc. and an intriguing number of 7s...

Thanks Silas for hosting this contest, looking forward to the next one where I'm already set on my entry,

Congrats Dandy - a crazy landslide of a win!!

Congrats Dandy for the win! that final point score at end WOW! Great song too.

So many of my points deserved better placements but thank you for the discoveries this month, such a great bunch of songs

Thanks for the hosting Silas, loved the format change for the results was so tense reading it back!

Thanks for the points, very happy with 18th!

Congrats Dandy and thanks to Silas for hosting the results in a new suspenseful way 😄

I wanna see how big of a jump did Fljotavik made it in YTD with that 380 points added to it

Late congratulations to Dandy for the win, and thanks Silas for the hosting!
