BJSC 168 • Avalon - Deadbeat Boy -MiKrGIhA58 I’ve had this one in my chill playlist since about 2018! I think it has a really cool nighttime/dark night autumn vibe to it and sounds best at full volume in headphones! I hope you All groove to it as much as I do :)

Mothertopia would be honoured to receive a VIP pass to the final but I’m hopeful my entry will be strong enough to qualify even if I have to slum it through the semis xo ;)

Congrats Lindsay! Thrilled with that silver medal

Guaranteed top 2 for Mothertopia! Whatever happens I’m chuffed with my placement! Good luck Taahino :)

Justice for Beach Baby!

That gap between top 2!!!! So tight!!

Thank you for all the votes so far! Especially you Klum Republic - appreciate that 18!

Thank you Singerpurear for your bronze slot! An alright start for Promises!

Come on Mothertopia!

Can’t rank all 42 finalists but think Jupiterdonia, New Lexico, Singerpurear, Skall & Sandénia could all do really well. And obviously it would be lovely to see Mothertopia up for the first time!

BJSC 167 • Coy - Promises C8nUTKb5WxU Yes Mothertopia is off to the club this month with a certified banger! I first heard this in July 2020 mid lockdown and it’s stayed its in my bops playlist ever since! I was unaware people tried to send this four (4!) times when it first came out but hopefully it’s still such a tune everyone still loves it x

Confirmed! Mothertopia are going to the clurb this month!

All my votes Qualified! Big Slay for me!

Woop woop! Third Qualifier in a row! Mothertopia imperial era incoming

BJSC 166 • Nell Mescal - Drive Ef304LT9VBw Had a few possibilities for who to send this month (one being TSHA - Girls!) but I love the way this builds and that final minute is heaven! Hope you love screaming along to it as much as I do!

Confirmed - going for that streak of 3 qualifying entries!

Thank you for my first lots of points Cheiron, Fljótavik & The Spodic Empire for that 10!

Mothertopia has voted… with brat being released and the Eras tour it was more difficult to find the time to fit it in this month. But pretty strong final! I had 5 extra songs that I wanted to give points to that I couldn’t!

Completely missed this last night so what a lovely surprise to wake up to! Glad people enjoyed Impossible + Strange… I wasn’t totally sure we were going to make it through… Anyway, here’s the votes I lost… I really liked all three but absolutely gutted about Jupiterdonia not getting through! 12 xx 10 xx 08 Jupiterdonia - kiss in the dark 07 Beaverdonia - black Ferrari 06 Lookylion - how many nights 05 xx 04 xx 03 xx 02 xx 01 xx

Mothertopia’s votes are in!

BJSC 165 • Lizzie Esau - Impossible + Strange kBCS7cmlfX0 Discovered this artist when she supported Baby Queen in 2022! She’s also from Newcastle - just like me! - so repping the hometown this month! This is currently in my top 50 songs of the year and I think it has a lush cool chill vibe to it! Hope you love it x
