11th in the final for sf2 girlies, up from 14th omg the grower the song is!!

also farc is alt bloc girlie?????

I want to create a trip-hop bloc, I've gathered a few potentials of that ilk, so I might mostly just be a trip-hop nation next year xo

Hopefully they don't all flop, I'm already being quite selective with my options sooo :')

Congrats to Greenfroze, happy to see a song I voted for win! 😊

Incredible stats and work @blacksquare!

It would be interesting to see these kind of stats on a month where the semis are more mixed. It feels like most people rigidly stuck to voting for the semi they were part of for the most part, with a few exceptions. But then most people were in the semi that most closely matched their tastes, so it’s not too surprising.

It is almost like two separate competitions took place this month!

Quite impressed that I Melt With You proved so consistent across the two, an equal jury and televote crowd pleaser ❤️

Mad that this is the 2nd time Chris has sent an Asian pop song that I’d known for months but didn’t think it’d do much in BJSC and then it proceeded to smash and I was jealous.

Which is amusing cos I know that’s exactly how he felt about It’s Me. Happy for an N DNTN hit tho always and it’s got me rehooked on Bang Bang ❤️

lol wait what was the other one? 💖

Glad to see my song did have crossover appeal in this contest and I’d have been fine in either semi - although finishing 6th when I was not top 6 with either semi final voters is kinda funny!

Gala! I was so mad at myself for passing on that so many times last year and as soon as you sent it, I was like DUH OF COURSE? 😂

😮
⬛ greenfroze trailed terra avium on the first 51/59 ballots, overtook it with 7 to votes go, and the very last ballot cut its lead from 12 points to 1
⬛ 25 voters ranked greenfroze higher and 24 ranked terra avium higher. neither of the two gave the other a single point (rude)
⬛ the 18 dnq nations gave greenfroze 109 points and terra avium 71. if only finalists had voted, greenfroze would have come 7th and n dntn would have won
⬛ 6 different nations led at some point during voting: pestolia, terra avium, elëdan, altyr muunilinst, n dntn and greenfroze
⬛ the first half of ballots favoured terra avium, pestolia and elëdan. the last half favoured n dntn, greenfroze and neliönoir
⬛ the top 5 were only 16 points apart, then there was a 22-point gap down to 6th

😮
⬛ both semis came down to 1 point: taahino and lookylion qualified from sf1 on 41, zanmatony missed out on 40. land of dw qualified from sf2 on 46, aeroche missed out on 45
⬛ 7 places were decided by just 1 point, including 1st place and the top 10 (fsr rontvia 207, elëdan 206)
⬛ elëdan had 3 18s and 4 15s, as many top scores as pestolia and n dntn, but missed the top 10
⬛ taahino qualified by 1 point, then finished last, 30 points behind 40th

😮
⬛ number one rising girlie: greenfroze, 8th in sf1 to 1st in the final
⬛ number one falling girlie: ojnoj, 4th in sf1 to 28th in the final, with 156 of its 157 points coming from sf1 voters. zanmatony gave it 10 in the semi and 0 in the final
⬛ fellow sad girlies: scotland 2 (10th in sf2, 39th overall) and jupiterdonia (11th in sf1, 38th overall)
⬛ the top four of sf2, terra avium, pestolia, danæviia and elëdan, finished in exactly the same order in the final
⬛ 35 semi 12s became 18s. the biggest change was the spodic empire’s 12 to pestolia becoming a 1
⬛ 9 nations kept their semi favourites in exactly the same order in the final: lookylion, skall, daehun, thelonia, dobago, lentyll, pophub, east rukahavian and flynnonda

😮
⬛ in the final, sf1 voters gave 2307 points to sf1 songs and 1167 to sf2 songs. sf2 gave 2230 points to sf2 songs and 1233 to sf1 songs
⬛ greenfroze got 120 points from sf2 voters, more than any other sf1 song
⬛ the most even splits between sf1 and sf2 voters were ajanaeda (84 and 76), fsr rontvia (98 and 109) and neliönoir (122 and 133)

😮
⬛ dobago and scotland 2 swapped 12s in the semi, then gave each other 18s in the final, the only besties of the contest
⬛ n dntn, daehun, yehesi and lotunia gave each other 132 points, and daehun's and lotunia's top threes were mirrored
⬛ haters alert: séyetana got three 18s from finalists (neliönoir, elëdan, east rukahavian) and returned nothing to any of them, pestolia did the same with 18s from n dntn, bronzil and new helvetica
⬛ most similar ballots: pophub and cor lupus. nothing in common: neliönoir’s and freidland’s ballots didn’t share a single song
⬛ scotland 2 gave no points to any of the top 5, ajanaeda gave them the most with 43
⬛ neliönoir is yet to vote for the winning song during a contest they host

😮
⬛ most 18s: pestolia with 5
⬛ most voters: neliönoir with 35
⬛ fewest voters: taahino with 10
⬛ most points without an 18 or a 15: the spodic empire with 191
⬛ highest point average: lotunia with 10.9, but only 15 voters
⬛ séyetana had the most 18s of the three songs tied on 179, but finished last with the fewest voters (boo)

😮

⬛ bald martin made a surprise appearance during the final reveal
⬛ random.org was truly on one this contest #manifesting

😮

Wow, love these stats, amazing job Nelly!!

Congrats Greenfroze, great winner!

To add a bit to the lore, 'Johnny Kitagawa' was originally low top 10 in my semi 1 ranking, it properly clicked with me only during the Final listenthrough and slowly moved up on my list from a projected 1-2 pointer to eventually getting 8 points. This song was the only real grower for me in 189, the rest of the entries stayed pretty much at the same place where I ranked them originally.

Semi 2 was... wild, thanks Everyone pushing 'GAY' through! ❤️ Special shoutout to Séyetana, who gave the most points in the semi, single-handedly making the miracle happen + to Skall, whose 1 point turned out to be just as essential (and I would've put big money on them ranking Land of DW bottom 3, let alone giving us a point).

Here are the templates that were made for me, hopefully they can help a fellow spreadsheet baby. The instructions were easy to follow (don't touch the formulas!), but let me know if anything feels confusing or needs tweaking. There are checks to help catch mistakes (I needed these) along with colour coded scoreboards (I needed these too). You can select votes from a drop down menu rather than typing anything in, tie breaks are built into the formulas, deductions are easy etc

Even something like this was very helpful 😮

If you already know your way around a spreadsheet, obviously ignore these, or perhaps give some suggestions on how to make them better or easier to follow. I think there is potential to turn them into a resource for new overwhelmed hosts. I also have these saved as excel files if anyone wants those x

If you have something superior already then why didn't you share it with me ö

Templates are a life saver! I remember when I hosted and had to manually add up all the votes on notepad and do scoreboards using mental maths off the top of my head, and produced a ton of errors but as usual Bra came to save the day :')

I was gonna ask if anyone have templates ready, as this is something I fear might be overwhelming indeed. So I'm thankful for this. I'll have to go through the "how to use"-section and try it out. Might I have the Excel files too?

Yes 🖤

I'll send them to you now, and if you need any help let me know x

I'm wondering if these templates would work for other contests too, like Unknown Pleasures which I'm currently hosting, or would it need tweaking due to differences in voting system. In any case I've already put in a bunch of votes and it seems to be going smoothly lol. cut to the end when 20 sets of votes come in at the same time!!!

I'm also wondering if you paid your accountant for this Feel free to not answer though haha.

I’m not sure how to tweak the voting system but it’s probably really simple? (I have no idea)

No payment, a returned favour and some embarrassment

Contacting their union asap
