Ooh the templates and art direction, love it. Need to think about what to send...

My No.1 song of 2000, Absolutely Everybody.

Good time for her to release, won’t take her much to get past 27k to get No.1, whatever it sounds like.

The old BuzzJack way. We used to see the bottom of so many charts/rates and not the interesting bits! I will take part in this, nice idea, picking the one 11 is the hard part but I know what I’m giving it to.

Wow. Milica has come to compete again, great entry. It’s anybody’s guess who goes this time I think.

Yeah it’s really good. Hope it doesn’t put them in any danger as it’s not a heyday classic but is great dance pop.

Could have been Adele’s winning song (if she gets that far). Take My Hand is a wise choice, as it won Bop Idol recently. Hang With Me ❤️ Robyn is HERE! All the people at danger last time have sent brilliant songs this time… I suspect we will have a new bottom three.

No.8 in 2002, wow this video really does not look nearly 25 years old to me. The crew had another song that missed the top 40 and member Lethal Bizzle went onto a notable solo career.

In This City, great track. ALMA had some good music that didn't chart.

Oops sorry, I didn't help anything with my vote, which was for Starstrukk.

There's always a good chance Robyn will walk anything she appears in. In My Eyes or Time Machine would have been my more 'inspired' picks of hers for songs that weren't super obvious huge fan favourites (Call Your Girlfriend, Indestructible, Hang With Me), however Ever Again is a very nice song too. I knew Robyn was eligible but didn't send her. I like to try and go undetected in these competitions, otherwise I'd have sent White Light by The Corrs.

Looking forward to it although I guess we’ll be missing Mariah, based on the other 90s editions. So no Without You or All I Want For Christmas Is You. A rare year without Queen or George Michael so I guess they will start with Wet Wet Wet.

ChrIseland 1 It’s another gold medal for Cor Lupus, who sent a fantastic track we also considered. We were always going to vote it big and it has just continued to get better. Persephonia are on the comeback trail as they join the pop bloc, presumably temporarily, but that is enough for them to get their highest points haul in a while from us as they get our silver medal, for a song that also took the overall contest silver. And finally, bronze goes to a very strong pop track from Ennea, with a video filmed close to where I grew up. Hendinia’s 12 takes them over the 500-point all-time mark for a glistening beauty of a song, while Bøtanikkä’s 90s dance classic rounds off our top five and is very nearly enough to see them back in our all-time top ten! Aeroche get yet another big points haul from us while recently reliable nations The Spodic Empire and Herbilore also score big once more. There’s good news for Zephyra Continuum who belatedly join our list – we have liked a lot of their entries but particularly the non-qualifiers, it seems, so we’re ecstatic to finally vote for them in a final! The 1-5 point slots are filled with strong songs by nations that rarely miss for us in Altyr Muunilinst, Danæviia, Jadakissnia, winners Neliönoir, and Skall!

True. Glad I entered Delta last year as I'd have been lucky to get her past the second round this time with the names here. I wonder why more of these big superstars weren't played in the first two editions of the game. Maybe people were just findiing their feet with it initially.

Congrats blacksquare! Deserved, it is a great track and glad I voted for it. Nice winner! Ok it wasn't the correct winner bookies predicted but we weren't horrendously wrong, all of RontBet's predicted top four were in the top five (with Persephonia correct in second), and we only had POPHub a bit behind that too, and Hendinia we had 5th but it was 7th, so... Well done Bror on an almighty comeback there from the DNQ run. Pop bloc could never. Pleased Cor Lupus lived up to the hype, it really is a brilliant track. And glad Aeroche did at least make the top five, it's a beauty. I'm very happy with 16th, I never know how retro entries will do. And it keeps up my SMASH or CRASH theme of 2026. Eight entries, four have been in the top 20, and four have failed to qualify, but so far none that have qualified but then not done much in the final. Thanks a lot to the voters, I appreciate it <3 Gala and Livka were completely robbed though down the other end. Thanks Iz for such a fantastic contest, loved the percentage indicator of how far we were through the results and had been a generally great contest to follow.

There's way more alt countries than I thought, or the pop bloc have all become more alt recently. Not the full on drought in this section.

Wow some real dark horses. I wouldn't have expected Marina second with an album track above all those huge names, Milica above four big names, Roosevelt fourth for the guys, Vengaboys blitzing their category (iconic song ofc), a midtable Texas hit beating a popular BJSC winner, New Order second last! The competition is already fascinating. Go Dido, incredible start, but then it's an incredible song.

Thanks for the silver Addy, 90s dance bloc rise.

Still my No.1 for the year, you'll be back!

Bookies should only be judged on the final outcome! Glad to see Aeroche shooting up now. Pandora top 10, diva

Why were the alt bloc in such a desperate hurry to vote this month? Usually the pop voters go first and dominate the opening sequence!

Hopefully, otherwise all of the bookies are going bankrupt.

A VERY warm welcome back to Mulgracia for ending that drought, thank you. Medals or bust.

An 18! Thanks Till. The Pandora fan club appreciated the service this month ❤️

Tove maybe playing the long game. Gamu herself back in with a SMASH in a few weeks and not use up a load of strong songs on the way. Her contemporaries will be quaking when they've all used up six hits just to get that far.
