August 27Aug 27 Wait, wasn't the Japanese Breakfast song used in another song contest on the site recently? Where do I know it from? I'm sure I remember it from somewhere very recently!

August 29Aug 29 What song does Body Language sample? Definitely sounds familiar but all I can think of is if Timbaland remixed Yazoo's - Don't Go!
August 29Aug 29 Yaz (Yazoo) - SituationReminded me of The Saturdays' 'If This Is Love' and it turns out it's the same source sample!

August 31Aug 31 Author I've just voted now too, I thought mostly people did a reasonable job at finding strong choruses.I know it can be a little bit of a subjective thing too so we weren't super harsh on that aspect, as long as a chorus was present.Anyway, thank you all for submitting such strong stuff here, I whittled down my shortlist to 15 originally but did manage to get it down to 10 and love all of them but my top two are really great in particular.We are six votes in now and some interesting stuff happening on the scoreboard for sure - keep your votes coming in as there is more than one entry still on nul points.
August 31Aug 31 I hope to send my votes after the listenthrough. It's getting a little sure which songs will get points.
August 31Aug 31 Yea I'm also hoping to be able to come to the listen through tomorrow night and vote after but it's my first day back at work after 4 weeks so we'll see if I'm still awake by then 😅

September 1Sep 1 Done a couple of listen throughs so far - a good set of songs. Not 100% how some meet the brief but I assume they will score low
