110 168 (20.29%) Baleghde 176 // Emma Steinbakken - BOY

surprised to see i have a song this high up to be honest seeing as I didn't make the top 10 even once this year lmao

Oklou I felt a bit bad that quite a few of us tried her at the same time but grateful she got my year off to such a good start.

Here's hoping 2026 begins well too.

Séyetana being the biggest Dan fans of the year feels quite out of leftfield again though!

I wondered why this was, looked up some of my votes and it seems that pretty much every contest they were somewhere in my 13-7 range with a good alt or dance song, remarkable consistency in providing the things I like for either bloc, so thank you Dan! Ironically one of the few songs I didn't vote for from them this year was their winner oops

I've not been able to follow this as closely as I've liked but loving the effort in getting everyone represented and yasss at Pest being the main Séyetana track played at one of the earlier nights.

70 231 (22.51%) Aelandor 180 // Saltillo - A Hair On The Head Of John The Baptist

69 212 (22.65%) Altyr Muunilinst 171 // Beks - Dangerous

68 214 (22.86%) Cumulonimbia 171 // They/Live - For The Pleasure

67 206 (22.89%) East Rukahavian 178 // Yndling - It's Almost Like You're Here

66 190 (22.95%) FARC 176 // Nova May - TROPICANA BAR

65 215 (22.97%) Kluminican Republic 173 // anamē - Anywhere (Road Trippin')

64 236 (23.00%) Neliönoir 180 // Rakky Ripper - Las Cosas De Antes

63 191 (23.07%) POPHub 176 // Donatachi and Muki - Bad Dream

62 216 (23.08%) Elëdan 173 // Ohota - Everything Is As It Should Be

61 216 (23.08%) Land of DW 171 // Lindsey Stirling - The Arena

Was nice to hear 'Anywhere (Road Trippin')' and 'Bad Dream' again for probably the first time since their respective contests - both just missed out on points from me (ranking 16th) but still sounding good x

(ofc also some bigger faves for me here as well, Ohota and Saltillo again after also being played yesterday + Yndling <3)

An attempt was made with the pronunciation of A-Konohagakure

(mind I have no idea how it's meant to be pronounced either x my head canon pronunciation is 'ay-ko-NO-ha-GA-ku-ray' but I'm really guessing at which syllables are meant to have emphasis xx)

Chikoi my beloved securing me a play today x

Otha *.*

Starting to think MØ has a chance of top 40 maybe

60 237 (23.10%) A-Konohagakure 180 // Sukatani - Tumbal Proyek

59 205 (23.24%) Trifoski 175 // Kumo 99 - Dopamine Chaser

58 193 (23.31%) Hendinia 176 // Say Now - Brick By Brick

57 214 (23.31%) Cor Lupus 177 // Tsatsamis - Sweet Praise

56 214 (23.31%) Fljótavík 177 // Joon Gloom - Joker

55 241 (23.49%) Skall 180 // Oneohtrix Point Never - Rodl Glide

54 220 (23.50%) Persephonia 172 // Chikoi The Maid - Misunderstanding

53 225 (23.58%) Thelonia 174 // Deep Thrills - Truth Before Dare

52 242 (23.59%) FARC 180 // Snow Wife - YoYo

51 221 (23.61%) Bøtanikkä 171 // Otha - Effin

For the top 50 I will also reveal each song's position on the all-time songs ranking - as this was the year we passed 10,000 total entries all time and can confirm the top 50 are all in the top 1,000 of all time (in fact so are #51-59, with 'Tumbal Proyek' just missing out x), all of them are officially within the top 10% of all entries

I know I shouldn't be surprised but 😮 at you having a list of the best performing entries of all time

Will we get a sneak peek of said list?

Ushko one of my favourite in-contest discoveries of the year

I didn't before about half an hour ago! Just thinking of extra stats to add on the fly xx

(I have all the figures for every song though so it was just a simple ordering of a few columns on Excel to generate the list - I can dump the whole list in a Google Sheet at the end again for anyone who may be interested in perusing a list of 6,603 songs x (doesn't include DNQs as I don't have comparable data for them))

...and the great start to the top 50 continues... dradada dada dradada dadada

aside: just realising that I haven't got around to changing Ms* Gloom's name in my spreadsheet so apols for the deadnaming in that post xx

and of course there's a classique to follow with Atlantic Ocean

Slinkee Minx a 5-pointer for me, so that's 7 in a row I've voted for (#50 was Vioflesh, #49 was Contec)

edit: and Tori makes it 8...

Holybones made it to top 50, yay!

Ooh 4 for dan in the top 50isnt bad as statistically I should only have two

41 203 (24.52%) République d'Áskorza 176 // VTSS - Can't Catch Me {AT: #780}

I've used the old New Rivermaya flag for Lentyll, I don't think I recall @AllStarBySmashMouth posting a new flag anywhere, I'll make sure to update it if you do make one x
