Voted! Very hard indeed to balance rewardng some of the great discoveries over songs I've known for a long time that deserve their rightful support. Hopefully I've struck a good balance.

A great lineup, I really enjoyed 15 songs here and liked a lot more besides.

Literally have no idea who could win here!

I still need to do a second listen to finalise my votes but I think this contest has definitely provided my strongest top 10 in one of these to date - may just be that the previous theme choices weren't the most conducive to pandering to my taste (and this edition having the most entries to date helps) but I've easily got more than 10 songs I want to vote for here which I'm not sure has really been the case for any of the previous editions.

I'm already holding my L and assuming I'll be coming last but it's ok, as long as it doesn't get 0 x

Either think I’m finishing top half or last

Ok @Scene sure, but at least what you could have done is match your name with the right song

Herbs sending Oceanlab would be quite the eye opener!

I do very much love the song you've guessed for me... but did I also send it?

I mean I don't get results sending pop songs......so an alt leaning song would be a good idea!

I was actually thinking about that, like would it have been better in a way maybe to give my 12 to my favourite of the discoveries 🤔 I've known and loved my 12 for a while so it feels good to reward it for that, but it also feels like I'm giving my 10-pointer a slight slap in the face (it was my favourite discovery).

Believe it or not, I usually don't really overthink my votes in these contests, mostly going by some kind of instinct, but just thought I'd say that.

Votes sent :)

Yanou isn't a bad shout for me tbh..

Wouldn't it be funny if we had some kind of contest where everyone tries to guess each other's identities through their entries lmao. Ofc it would be a bit unfair because some people know the rest of the people better than others do. But I just get random ideas.
