May 25, 200916 yr I imagine I have about the highest ratio! :drama: III: The Shortwave Set 'Casual Use' - Yes, released but flopped completely 15 months before the contest. IV: The Pipettes 'Pull Shapes' - Yes, a #26 SMASH in the summer of 2006, nearly two years before I entered it here. V: Operator Please 'Just A Song About Ping Pong' - Yes, released in summer 2007 a year before I entered it. Did nothing chartwise. VI: Foals 'Hummer' - Yes, released in April 2007 over a year before I sent it. Did nothing chartwise. VII: Ida Maria 'Queen of the World' - Yes, I sent it a couple of months after it completely flopped. Her next single then became a hit. VIII: The Hot Puppies 'The Girl Who Was Too Beautiful' - Yes, in 2006 two years before I sent it. IX: John Legend ft Andre 3000 'Green Light' - Yes, I sent it when it first came out and it charted with a proper release a couple of months after. X: PNAU ft Ladyhawke 'Embrace' - No, not here anyway, but it was voted 12th best song of last year in Australia. XI: Alela Diane 'The Pirate's Gospel' - No, not that I know of. If it was it was more than two years before I sent it. XII: LCD Soundsystem 'All My Friends' - Yes, a UK #41 in June 2007, well over a year before I sent it. XIII: Shinichi Osawa ft Rubies 'Dreamhunt' - No. XV: Los Campesinos! 'Ways To Make It Through The Wall' - No XVI: Animal Collective 'Summertime Clothes' - Yes, it was announced it would be the second single off the album after the contest had started. So, that's 9/13 then! :drama: The only entries I've had which I'd say were even slightly cheap though were John Legend and PNAU (as Ladyhawke had already had a top 3 finish in VIII).
May 25, 200916 yr Oh my, I've been categorising songs by potential in the bjsc now for about a year! :lol:
