January 10Jan 10 no1curr but this contest marks 10 years since my one and only win lmao (I won the first contest of 2016, BJSC 81). Kinda wish it would've been with something more interesting but whatever. Just a mildly interesting personal fact for moi.

January 10Jan 10 Popping my head back in here this month with an entry! (it probably will just be this contest for the time being given how Lent falls this year). I've got something I'm happy to put in as an entry even if it does do awfully, it's also my first artist self-recycle (albeit not as the lead artist).

January 10Jan 10 35 nations confirmed so far although we have 2 early entry clashes, have instructed Dan to inform those affected xI did not have any ideas ahead of confirmations opening but stumbled across something last night courtesy of a recommendation from a certain YouTube channel ~ I fear 2026 may be the year I drop the attempt to be diverse and just send 10 post-punk/adjacent songs because we're starting the year in that space. (With a foreign language song and a new nationality, hooray! Really need to update my entry nationalities list x)26 minutes ago, danuary said:welcome Ennea!welcome back Niceland, Hushkanukia, Freidland, D'yermak'er!Freidland aren't a return, they've been back since BJSC 179 Welcome / welcome back to the others though - I had assumed Pete just decided to quietly quit for good after the last customary Lent hiatus so a pleasant surprise to see Niceland returning x and of course we love to see D'yermak'er back after a little over 2 years!
January 10Jan 10 1 Allie X - Sanctuary Deandria LXXXI2 Zonderling - Crazy For You (feat. BISHØP) Aeroche LXXXI3 TheFatRat - Monody (feat. Laura Brehm) Danaelanda LXXXII remembered Dan hosting 82 but interesting that Aeroche came 2nd, I presume because Dan hadn't hosted before it went straight down to him, not Lew? I have a vague memory of it working that way 🤔 lol
January 10Jan 10 Outsiders ❤️I remember people thinking that was a dead cert winner at the time, which is interesting in retrospect, as Sanctuary sounds much more like a winner.

I have a vague memory of it working that way 🤔 lolyes Lew had already won a bunch of times at that point and the procedure was/is if the winner passes up it goes to the highest scorer who hasn't yet hosted
January 10Jan 10 Yes if the winner passes on hosting (this has not happened for a while now interestingly after being quite a common occurrence for a time!) it goes to the next highest placed country that hasn't hosted before. With the additional rule since then that it still has to be someone who made the top 10, so if there are no prospective first time hosts in the top 10 it then goes to whoever came 2nd etc. And in the unlikely case that none of the top 10 want to host I think it'd just be a mod run contest. x
January 10Jan 10 Ok so it appears someone beat me to it!! I just knew I’d be too late. 💀 It sounds like a massive hit and a blend of two very BJ-friendly artists so whoever has it is onto a winner.My Plan B is a song I tried to use previously for another contest so hopefully second time lucky. 😎

January 10Jan 10 I confirmed quietly since I wanted to enjoy some r&r in the Philippines with family but my first choice got stolen and my second choice is a cover 😭😭😭as per tradition, I’m putting in a placeholder which is a song that I nearly sent last contest. DNQ INCOMING
