Hello! Thank you all for submitting your votes for the 17th edition of PFSC! It's amazing to get a full house and a guest vote to boot.

I will be revealing the results from all 31 voters from 7pm BST tonight, where one song will win and the poster who will win the right to host the 18th edition of PFSC will be revealed.

In the meantime, any guesses on who sent what? Any predictions on who will win or come top five? Any thoughts on how your own entry will do?

As a reminder, these are the 30 songs competing for the crown this evening:

  1. EARTH TO EMILY - GAGATRON

  2. Margaret - Cool Me Down

  3. Porter Robinson - Cheerleader

  4. Miriana Conte - Għajjejt (i8)

  5. Heidi Montag - Body Language

  6. Jessica Winter - Aftersun

  7. The Midnight - Change Your Heart or Die

  8. Uhl - Opera Disco

  9. Angelica - Scared (Of Falling)

  10. Fitz and The Tantrums - I Just Wanna Shine

  11. Louise - Get Into It

  12. Claire George - Pink Elephants

  13. Kep1er - Yum

  14. Milica Pavlovic feat. Albino - Seceru

  15. Japanese Breakfast - Be Sweet

  16. Lexie Liu - FFFFF

  17. Dylan - Bad

  18. Katie Gavin - Aftertaste

  19. Chrissy Costanza - But, What If I Fly?

  20. P.Y.T. - We're Dancing

  21. Tommi Aura - Blush

  22. Toto - Endless

  23. Minami - Kawaki o Ameku [Crying For Rain]

  24. The Jezabels - Rosebud

  25. Kenzie Cait - someday, someone

  26. LALA HAYDEN - beast

  27. Valencia Grace - Super Elastic

  28. Walk Off The Earth - Rule The World

  29. G Flip - Disco Cowgirl

  30. Marina Kaye - Homeless

A final note I will make is that this has been an absolute pleasure to host, I've been having a lot of cool PM chats with people about their entries and about what makes a strong pop chorus generally.

One thing I have learnt is that this is far more subjective than I expected. Several people who have passed general comment about some of the entries lacking in big choruses featured a number of songs heavily in their votes that were criticised on the listenthrough for just that. So you just never know what makes a good chorus to somebody! What sounds huge to somebody is forgettable to somebody else, and vice versa. But will a song with a chorus that we can all agree is big take home the crown? Who took us to the biggest chorus of them all? Join me in two hours to find out!

    I'll try not to write too much but thank you to every single one that gave a point or more! You all made it happen, as corny as it sounds! 'Cheerleader' is one of those songs that could have been se

  • Thank you so much @Travis Great to see your song do so well :) Great hosting @gooddelta and thanks for listening to me talk about this contest a lot! I finally did a Nico Hulkenberg and got that

I have no clue who sent what, but if I have to predict a winner just based on how huge the chorus sounded, it would be Chrissy Constanza…it really gave me Kelly Clarkson big chorus vibes <3

I'd be impressed if anyone manages to correctly identify my entry as I feel it's somewhat out of character for me x

I think out of all the songs there was only maybe one or two that I could see as being questionable on passing the 'big chorus' test so I am curious to know which songs people were complaining about!

Think - Japanese Breakfast

Want - my entry

I think the contenders are probably Margaret, Dylan and Japanese Breakfast tbh although I'd like to see my entry top ten x

I'll finally be able to sleep once I know that Herbs sent Fitz!

As a lifelong insomniac I wouldn’t wish that on anyone….

It has been tipped to win and was big on the forum in 2016, topping a few personal charts after finishing 2nd in the Polish Eurovision national final that year. Dobbo sent Margaret, and let's see who Dobbo has voted for:

Vibe sent a track from the always popular Louise's new album, will her success in The Pop Factor stand her in good stead for a smash?
