I believe you can figure out what song that is by looking around a bit more. Freeze’s description completely cleared up my curiosity (and if my guess is correct, the song is actually quite good, though).

Omg not the song that cannot be named yet but hopefully very soon attracting a brief fifth confirmation 💀

Intrigued by what type of song is the one that has been confirmed by multiple people!

I pride myself on going down a different route, whilst still quite commercial at times, but imagine the song is something I would have likely voted for

At this point we should just have 3 semis, semi one, semi two and the semi with all those that confirmed this one particular song

Are we ready to find out what that song is then?

Without further ado...

VETO #1

Sarah Kinsley - Fleeting 12

• song was officially confirmed by 4 people, though we've had unconfirmed mentions that 2 other members would've confirmed it had they not seen the spreadsheet/discussion in the thread. Will deem this is as "5 or more people" as per the veto framework. 12

• featured on DIY Magazine and The Line Of Best Fit, amongst other lesser known blogs.

• appears in 1 personal chart (RobBot).

I was one of the people who potentially would have confirmed it if I didn't already see it in the list - although I must admit I would have been doing so because I felt it sounded like something everyone would like rather than because it was something I really loved

@*Tim this is your requested notification to enter as I’m back x

Lemme find a sang then :clap:

yeah, I figured that’s the song in question after seeing at #5 in Rob’s chart!!!

Pretty good song, and it’s mind blowing that so many people were after it considering the artist in question never was sent before!!!

Also question to all the ones who wanted to send it, how did you discover it?!

Can't remember if I've heard 'Fleeting' before, but it certainly ticks the "sounds like it should do well in BJSC" box!

Won't be able to take part this time as I'm away for the whole contest from next weekend. Checked out Fleeting though, it sounds great and would've done well that's for sure

I clicked on 'go to song radio' in Spotify on Jade's winner to try and find a hit for myself and snatch that EOY #1

which I suppose now I would've done if the song wasn't seemingly on half of Buzzjack's radar already agh guess I'll just flop in style instead

You should have just gone to her personal chart and taken her number one instead

Not that anyone has ever done that

I found it on a Spotify playlist called OBSESSED.

MUNA/Robyn, is spot on, it definitely sounds like their attempt at Dancing On My Own and clearly was BJSC catnip.

I decided I wanted to send a proper pop song when I couldn't think of anything with a chorus for the last PFSC — and then there it was, recommended to me on YouTube. My other goal was to send a non-recycled artist to appease @Brer, only to be called one of the hivemind



Anyway, now I am not going pop and I am recycling

@Jade I was just wondering (before I potentially reconfirm) if anyone else so far has tried to confirm my current entry? I thought it could be taken by someone else.

I follow Obsessed list as well, but I admit I don’t keep up with it…so it must have been in one of the weeks I didn’t listen/check!!!

Actually I remember both Debbii and Margaret I picked them up from that playlist

So you mean to say you guys saw me say “my entry is MUNA/Robyn” and didn’t just let me have it? 😡

The above post definitely prompts an interesting conversation (for me, as a mod anyway) about veto points. Obviously right now, you can get 7/12 veto points for significant blog coverage but I assume most people discover their music now through playlists. Is there particular playlists that need to feature in this research? It’s much more layered than it used to be and the research I’ve covered probably doesn’t cover the way in which anyone found Fleeting.

You cannot escape the cheapness

(it does seem a bit weird to me that this song got so many confirmations when the artist has not previously been relevant at all on the site but obviously there must be something compelling about it x)
