songs played: Erin LeCount - 808 HYMN (1st, BJSC 178) + Vioflesh - Spring Nostalgia (4th, BJSC 172)

I was hoping Vioflesh would get the other Jadakissnia play *.* (uvula was my fave Jadakissnia entry of the year but I figured that one was unlikely to come up)

Finally managed to get on to listen - great presentation Rob!

I did peek the top 15 when hosting 180 and saw that poor Jade had dropped to 11, deserved top ten!

But Aeroche can’t be denied - still never missing the top ten of the year!

Oh wow, I was definitely expecting Jadakissnia and Kathaldazia to be top 10. That must have been a really harsh set of results in 180 for Jade in particular </3

I'll do an individual post for each of the top 10 with some extra stats cos why not x

10 1664 Aeroche

*the raccoon is back and we've got a cover of The Cure's 'Lovesong' instead. At least it's a nice cover

Crazy that Aeroche coming 10th is their worst ever result in an EOY (including their first year where they missed the first three contests of the year).

Aeroche being this low is giving Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari this year

oh yeah I remember this being a REALLY good year for Skall

Demolition was my fave Aeroche entry this year. Ridiculous that lewwww has never missed top 10 😂

songs played: Blanck Mass - You (2nd, BJSC 171) + Rochelle Jordan - Doing It Too (9th, BJSC 179)

Only the second time Skall have made an EOY top 10, following their randomly super dominant year in 2013 (BJSCs 51-60) where they placed 2nd!

Doing It Too and Stranded is two of my 18s back to back <3

This should have won.

A bounce back into the top 10 for FARC - they were top 10 5 years in a row (including two EOY #1s) in 2018-2022 but slipped to 23rd in 2023 and further to 33rd in 2024 so a return to form this year.

AeroKlumFARC bloc is strong

is the fish in a box?

is the box a plastic box?

is Jade in the plastic box?

songs played: Orbital and Tilda Swinton - Deepest (8th, BJSC 174) + Jude York - Whiplash! (17th, BJSC 176)

Same result as last year for the Klum Rep, their peak remaining 5th place in 2022. And there's the AeroKlumFARC bloc again - I hadn't looked at this stat yet but after the figures for Aeroche and FARC I'd have been let down if that wasn't their top 2 x (each of the 3 having a different third wheel at least hehe).

surprised we didn't get a play for Amelie Lens to represent Klum Rep

Oooooops I've just realised why the Aesthetica and New Lexico songs were playing out of order - that is in fact my fault!! The list I sent to Rob to prep from seems to have somehow not accounted for any deductions throughout the year. My bad, not quite sure how that happened. Can I blame the raccoon again x

(as such, the country being played in 6th right now is actually 5th! I'll post the stats for 6 and 5 together)

Oh wow I’ve just got home and joined and it’s not a FLJ entry so we somehow made top 5!!!!

Things must have really gone my way in 180 in that case

uh oh not the scandal

I peeped the tally when I hosted 180 and think I was fifth.

Either way, amazing result this year and I’m still obsessed with Korku and Inziva, the Turkish rock swerve.

Although Luukered was a great winner for me.

Oh bugger at Brer’s last sentence in his post, maybe this is going to be a OMG WE’RE TOP 5. OMG WE’RE 6TH moment 😂

The spirit of Medhelnia lives on!

(for someone)

And that someone is... our host himself sorry Rob, haunted by a 15% deduction in 171 (I think this is not the first time such a deduction has knocked you down a bit in an EOY oop)
