8 winners in Top 10 is pretty good <3

Love how many of you have tuned in today! Big shoutout to You and Stranded for breaking into the top 10 over a couple of winners.

Korku beating a few winners, wow, I should have used it as my AQ in 180. 11th for the year is great for a track like that (it still hasn't passed over 5,000 Spotify streams).

Pleased Luukered made the top 10.

Maschio and Laberinto kicking off the top 20 <3

Not sure what was more of a dopamine hit, launching into 'Korku' or hearing Rob in presenter mode for the first time just now

Awe I’ve just noticed background music is actually ‘You Killed The Music’ instrumental :wub:

Blanck Mass slay

Skall on fire this year!

Very happy that 'You' made the top 10 easily my favourite in-contest discovery this year and probably to date

Blanck Mass was such a moment from Skall, my second favourite entry of the year from another country

Top 10 songs can get an individual post each again - and for my latest 'thinking of an additional stat to include on the spot' I'll also post what each of these countries' highest placing song on the all time list is, or what their previous highest was if the song here is a new high x (as it is 10 different countries in the top 10)

10 275 (29.38%) Skall 171 // Blanck Mass - You {AT: #261}

This is Skall's top performing entry of all time, topping their one contest winner, Postiljonen - Supreme from BJSC 54 which ranks at #322.

(what a banger, and I still stand by my hot take that the vocal part near the start sounds a bit like BTS' 'Boy With Luv' x)

no raccoons or Helen Of Troy this time!

09 275 (29.38%) Cor Lupus 171 // ALT BLK ERA - Hunt You Down {AT: #260}

Cor Lupus' top song of all time ranks just inside the top 40 - their BJSC 87 winner The Naked And Famous - Higher scraping in at #40. (But how many songs from this year have outperformed that one? )

Honestly Rob it's so cute that you've done these presenter slots <3

'You Killed The Music' is pop perfection

08 285 (29.87%) Bøtanikkä 174 // Debbii Dawson - You Killed The Music {AT: #229}

Just to highlight the jankiness of the data from BJSC 30 as I already alluded to, Bøtanikkä's top performing song of all time by this metric is their entry and runner-up that contest, Kim-Lian and Future Presidents - How I Like It, which is also the best performing non-winner of all time as high as #12 (!!). The numbers don't lie, though they may be a bit misleading!

Loved that introduction for Erin, Rob delighted to have one of the top 10 songs of the year

I do have to wonder how much that era of contests skewed the data 😭 or even any of the 1BF contests for that matter

when Maude Latour appeared at #13 I was fearing another 11th place for Jade - but very pleased Erin made the top 10!

07 269 (29.89%) Jadakissnia 178 // Erin LeCount - 808 HYMN {AT: #227}

I'd noticed a while ago that Jadakissnia's top few performing entries were actually not their winners - but no longer, as this one is in fact their top entry on this metric, ahead of Pharao's 'I Show You Secrets' which came 3rd in BJSC 112 and ranks #271 of all time.

Personally I prefer the other Debbii song but that was cute too

Similarly, Erin is definitely not Jadakissnia's best entry this year, but it won so it makes sense xx

And here’s me thinking Anabel Englund being my highest entry on that list :cheeseblock:
