hi

I didn’t expect to know almost every artists.

3 of my most played songs of 2025 in this list!

The Bratz song > Tate - Sports Car

Well it isn’t as cheap as I thought so!!!

I considered quite a few of those tracks myself and confirmed one of them as well, so hype to those <3.

And definitely it’s one of the Zara’s, MARINA’s and Addison’s to lose…great picks <3

Looks like a bloodbath based on the acts and songs I know.

No Lily Allen is very surprising! Also, no Tate after the year she's had is quite surprising too.

How many times was Fleeting confirmed?

I was expecting this to be a 'Fleeting' vs. 'Super Love Me' fight to the death before I even saw the list, however I forgot that songs from bigger artists like 'Headphones On' and 'CUNTISSIMO' also turn up here, so perhaps not. Maybe something like CMAT could surprise.

Just the one who confirmed!

Grace & Agnes were attempted one other time each. Haute & Freddy were attempted with a different song after this one was confirmed.

Ohhh and someone attempted High Fashion by Addison but Headphones On was already confirmed!

TBH never heard about "Fleeting". It is an interesting list of songs, of which I only know about 50%.

Yeah I think CMAT is a big contender. Euro-Country is incredible!

I was expecting LISA of BLACKPINK and Eli ('Like A Girl' was funneh, didn't deserve DNQ in BJSC).

Ha, I actually considered Headphones On, but couldn't quite bring myself to confirm a UK hit (albeit a smaller one than I thought, I had it in my mind that this was a top 10...what on Earth at this only reaching #24?!), hype to that nonetheless, and CMAT is a great choice too, my favourite from the album.

Not sure I've heard any of the others although the names look familiar (I think I checked out Fleeting based on it being confirmed 50 times but I've forgotten how it goes oop x)

Is Grace Davies walking this?!

Seriously strong line up. The big BJSC vetoes, a great hit from Addison Rae, the current pop darling Zara, Marina, Agnes, Loreen! Oh and my favourite song of the year. Let’s see what happens then!
