Altyr Muunilinst

W O L F C L U B - Break This Heart

47 (no 12's)

Which means congratulations to 16 minute diva

I lost 3 of my top 6 then!

oh my god I really thought it's over. Soy John! :(

Nice! Elëdan rises again!

Unless it wasn’t Eledan who the tie is with

There's only one space remaining, we don't know who it was! I'm just predicting an Elëdan Q because I can't see any way they would have lost out in the 3 way tie! (I could be wildly wrong of course)

I hope it wasn’t pav in 20th otherwise that means 20th has been revealed already!

Shame for Altyr, nice song that I gave a point to.

As you learned, the tresshold for Semi 1 was 49!!!

The three way tie drama was around the one who didn't make it, not the one who made it...that's all!!!

Elëdan could have finished anywhere in the top 20!

Well done to everyone else who got through, but as well as losing half my votes from semi 2, I didn't think semi 1 quite lived up to the some of the hype from my first couple of listens while one of my favourites there from Ennea is also out, so a few songs that wouldn't usually make my votes might have to - but I'm hoping for a good number of growers!

Thank you Addy for the results hosting and presentation so far!

Thank you everyone who joined us for the results <3.

Sorry to all the countries who didn't make it, as I've lost quite few of them </3

Yes that’s true Addy

Thanks to all who showed Herbilore/Anne some love. Maybe we were one of the 3 way tie to keep up a habit we have of scraping through semi finals

I think I see who i kicked out last minute

POPHub?

Excuse me that was one of the songs of the month x

I don't think I've ever lost a 10-pointer (2nd placer) in BJSC this year so... that's a new one for me. Maybe I'll lose a 12-pointer before 2026 ends. 🫣

As for Jupiterdonia (3pts)... a bit regrettable. If pushed, it would probably be 6 at most. Not enough to qualify still. My apologies...

Thanks Addy, loved the graphics! Shame for another bad result but actually it seems most of my favourites got through apart from Zanmatony, Harmonica and Altyr.

I got five instances of 2 points 😅 (and some other points, thanks everyone who pointed Poe!)

I lost four from my votes!

6 - Harmonica - The Motels - Suddenly Last Summer

5 - Altyr Muunilinst - W O L F C L U B - Break This Heart

4 - Persephonia - Butch Kassidy - Killakee

2 - Lotunia - HWASA - Good Goodbye

Thank you @Assy! for the brilliant presentation of the results. The board passes look awesome.

Thanks to all voters for María. Also happy that all my top votes went through.

Okay, my semi 2 predictions were much more on point - actually only got 2 wrong and 10/10 of my votes made it, so very happy with that all in all. Basically just confirms I have a fairly decent idea what kind of pop does well, but I'm not as good at predicting the more left field stuff 😄

Disappointed for some of my semi 1 votes, commiserations to:

06 Baleghde

03 Zanmatony

01 Dalisska

Vaskla were my 11th aswell </3

LOOOOOVED the graphics and the hosting style Addy, you can rehash this airline theme every contest you ever get to host, as far as I'm concerned!

heard that the airplane toilet has an exit to the sky
