i had an inkling you switched my votes because i voted at 9 pm on the deadline day hsflgkfsjlkdgksdfg

I only switched yours out of everyones as you did the excellent job of announcing it in your votes for me lol

Oddly Nelionoir hadn't received a single 18 before then, just incredibly consistent in scoring

Congrats Neliönoir, it was one of the biggest growers for me in this contest.

Congrats blacksquare!! Very worthy winner!!

Well done blacksquare, welcome to the 2 wins club (and I'm sure you'll join many others who have matched and then surpassed me while I remain stuck there x)

Me going 7 for 7 on snubbing the winners this year, it's almost impressive at this point! This one does join ALT BLK ERA and Ninajirachi in at least being near misses for me though (ranking those 16th and 17th respectively vs. 18th for 'storm') so it's among the better winners of the year for sure. But it's also yet another winner that's a recycle of an artist who had a recent top 10 hit that I liked considerably more. As I said, mixed feelings xx

(my post from earlier in the thread still stands, we demand Neliönoir hosting 2.0 x)

Absolutely thrilled with 3rd, my joint highest finish of the year and a break to the sort of middling/flop streak!! Just to maintain it now.

Dandy* the hosting has been fabulous but I would've expected nothing less. Klum Rep were robbed! POPhub and Cor Lupus Top 10 tho <3

well done blacksquare

you’re officially an absolute force in this contest, and deservedly so

I'm shaking

Did Kathaldazia finish 10th or 11th?

52/52 FINAL TABLE

Massive congratulations to @blacksquare on a very well deserved win! Even though you gave it away that your dreams were busy fixing votes with Nick Grimshaw! It's undeniable that 2025 has been your year so far so it's only right that you win at least one along the way.

Huge congrats to FSR Rontvia and Aeroche for returning to the top 3 this month though, really pleased for you both @gooddelta and @xlewwwwwwx who I can't tag for the life of me. Really sorry Rich that the votes came in the way they did, I hope you didn't mind the reveal in this way and are suitably chuffed with your final placing - I did consider redoing the order but it would have taken too much rework so sorry about that!

Kathaldazia and New Lexico win the battle to bag the remaining top 10 spaces in the end, well done both!

Thanks everyone for turning up and following along, it's been hectic but kinda fun to host again - I won't be rushing to do it again though lol

Proper tables coming up - just imagine how compressed they will end up though if it couldn't cope with the scoreboards!

extremely happy to have bagged two top 10’s in a row for the first time in my BJSC career!!!

thank you to everyone who enjoyed Magdalene enough to vote for ha ❤️

Shout out to New Lexico, that was a good little sleeper hit entry! More of that please x

condragulations blacksquare btw!!! why so sirius threatens to expose neliönoir secrets next edition x

well done dandy! thanks for the wonderful results hosting!! i pretty much enjoyed this edition with a couple of great finds!

unfortunately...

...Sirius Broadcasting Corporation has run out of money and will only be able to afford participation in BJSC 178, to the utmost delight of Persephonia! the streets are saying their next entry is going to be faith-related, with recording done inside of a church! 😮

close enough welcome back Niceland

SEMI ONE

SEMI TWO

...and further mixed feelings with this now being the 2nd contest in the last 3 where a major fave of mine has finished 2nd! (Arguably a third in a row as I gave MISS LUXURY double digit points too). At least this time it wasn't as heartbreakingly close as f5ve. So thrilled to see 'Korku' doing so well anyway even if the early lead was too good to be true, I do predictably always stan entries in this style but even by that standard this one did strike me immediately as a potential all-timer so very happy to see it connecting strongly with so many others as well, also love to see it for such an obscure artist, I think I am actually going to drop a few pennies on an iTunes download for the song if for no other reason than I am a little concerned at the possibility of it becoming lost media at some point!

(will comment further on results after I've dusted off my calculator so as ever no one be celebrating their exact position too hard just yet x)

What a way to close the voting - with another 18 to Mr Jaar <3

15th place is way more than what I was expecting so I’m very thankful for all the votes and support. I guess we will find the funding for next months contest too yay

Thanks Wardy for the final points and Dandy for the hosting!

Congratulations blacksquare!

Have already had a bop for next contest should it not get vetoed

That's a pretty great top 3, all of which I voted for. Failing to finish in triple figures is not so great and nor is my top 2 both missing the top 30 as well, the only consolation ~pending scoreboard confirmation~ being that 34th is a new position for me.

Thanks Dandy for hosting!

That was SO nail biting

But now all of us can sleep peacefully knowing that music visionary & warrior princess MERCY finished 9th!

Also supes delighted for Neliönoir (even if it does continue that suspicious winner being a recent recycle streak x)

Huge thanks to Dandy* for the fabulous hosting and graphics! Now you can go back to being normal around Mr D* again xx

JDX should be proud that Marco kept hardstyle as low as 20th!
