Congratulations for the win, Lewis!

Not expecting my Afro house entry to finish this high at all! Happy to finally bring Magic System to a contest as I really enjoy some of their songs. So thank you to Lewis, Dobbo, matto, gooddelta, Scene, Rollo, Dan, Nine And ¾, Jade, Cody, Addy! , Bre, Julian, Pavi, uhsting, and Snakey for the votes!

Much appreciated Doctor B for the hosting

Oh wow, I did not expect that at all. Thank you to everyone for the votes and the lovely comments last night. Commiserations to Scene, it's a great track too and it was SO CLOSE! Didn't I win by 1 point last time too?? 😂

Thanks for hosting Doctor Blind, great results runthrough.

I guess I'll have to get my thinking cap on for the next theme and our first contest of 2026, hopefully see you all there!

Many congrats Lewis on your second victory! It is indeed again by a single point too and also breaks the record for lowest ever score for a winner.

Unfortunately this time round I didn't like the song (in fact I'd probably rank it right near the bottom oops!) but hey ho you didn't need my points anyway, and I didn't like the runner up either haha. Very pleased to see both Kaotic Harmony & Mania make the top 10 though, those were the 2 BIG standouts I previously mentioned (although the latter's points drought after that insane start was a little painful to observe). The craziest stat however has to be Premier Gaou only picking up 2 votes from the first 7 then getting at least a point from every single remaining eligible participant thereafter

14th is acceptable for my entry, I must say it was probably the hardest theme ever to submit for (a lot of dance artists on my potentials playlist don't even have certifiable pictures online to determine their ethnicity let alone their sexual orientation) so I was really left with just one choice of Arun Verone but pleased to see it picked up some big points (thanks especially to Nine And ¾ and jimwatts for the medal positions).

Another strong result for Dan means he cuts my lead to 82 points in the all-time scoreboard too, pressure gradually rising again!

Thanks to Doctor Blind for the hosting, will need to have a proper look through at all your write-ups throughout the reveal at some point.

Lowest scoring winner being the only way I can win anything 😂 I'll take it I suppose

thanks for hosting Doctor Blind, a great theme idea and effort ~ very pleased with bronze position for myself as not the type of song I'd usually go for but the tension in it really stood out

excellent winner in 'Respond' too which almost got my full 12, there wasn't much in it for me between my top 3. congrats lewis!

anyhow I've got the stats report up next and can reveal the KING OF CLUBS in 2025 is...

...

... ME!

I was top of the rolling year leaderboard going into this contest but scoring just 36 points and losing the points from my 5th place a year ago has scuppered my chances. Well done Dan.

god this year was AWFUL for me here

can we just pretend this year didn’t happen

side note: how am I the only person who’s topped the EOY twice despite never winning? you’d think that would go to someone else

side note: how am I the only person who’s topped the EOY twice despite never winning? you’d think that would go to someone else

you had a perfect top 10 run in both 2019 and 2024 so just a case of consistency is king (of clubs)

as a side note if we included the very first contest we did have in 2017 then Dobbo would be 2017's king of clubs as well as 2021's (hardly fair to base a year-end chart on one contest though)

i'm THIRD????
