Haha well done Dandy, and I completely see why the results were presented like this considering the foregone conclusion. 148 points margin!! Amazing hosting and results show, thanks so much Phil. I really am so pleased with 13th, and that our odds were nearly spot on (and got the correct winner ha). As an aside - this is now the fourth winner in a row that has recently finished in the top five with another song, so I know where I'm looking for my next entry 😆

Thank you Kath for the 7, and huge congrats on the silver medal, RontBet breathe a sigh of relief though. It was a one-horse race and I'm intrigued to see how far ahead Dandy was! Sometimes if something is that hyped, there is a reason for it.

I think the points difference could be big between the top two.

Great result Addy, the best pop song by a clear mile here. and thanks for the votes!

Little mini surprise with Ajanaeda actually as I thought that would be third. Sounded like all the hallmarks of pop winner, just sent in too strong a lineup. Yay for a spot on prediction for Neliönoir, a wonderful entry and a 13 swap for us <3 Kath is the one I underrated a little bit ooh, others did say that was a contender so well done to them.

RontBet hasn't been this accurate in many years, it felt like quite an easy contest to call?

Well done Phil, very impressive result for an AQ.

Congrats Dan - from 3rd in the odds in 2009 to 7th officially 16 years later. A great song never goes out of fashion.

Land of DW and Hendinia probably the surprises of the top ten for me, but amazing to see the former there, what a great entry <3 And good to have a German language club banger top 10 this month of all months. Hendinia I predicted top 15 but thought 14-15, so 9th is a great result. It's a very catchy track, can see why it did so well.

ChrIseland 1 Our all-time top four fail to score this month, leaving the door open for some climbers, and it’s Bøtanikkä who capitalise the most, taking the gold medal for a pop anthem from Spanish singer Belén Aguilera and moving up to 11th here. A German sad club banger from Land of DW sees another high score for them in quick succession, their 15 points improving on the 12 they received last month and pushing them over the all-time 200 points mark. The month we ourselves have sent a Spanish language track has clearly rubbed off on our votes because our third favourite also shares the same tongue; the lovely Sofia Kourtesis track from Neliönoir! Baleghde get 12 points for a song we briefly considered ourselves last year while an all-time club classic in FSR Rontvia from Danæviia bags 11 points, having reached the nation’s top five chart way back in 2004. Cor Lupus is the sole other top ten nation to score aside from Danæviia, taking six points as they inch closer to the 400 points mark.

My pleasure. A BANGER. It should have so many more.

13th is absolutely brilliant and unexpected, thank you all <3 Amazing to get two top 15s in a row with a Turkish then Guatemalan act!

Thank you Chez too, the taste of this 20-11 section is unmatched.

I still think it was a one-horse race all along. Happy to be proven wrong!

Eeeep, is that consecutive 18s from Jade after last month <3333 Thank you so much.

I think my odds are still holding up looking at the list there so no big surprises, delighted to still be here.

Oh wow, thanks Dr B, Lotunia and Macromia (second 18 <3), I figured there must be some generous votes to come from people left as I'd been on quite a drought for a while.

Thanks Iz, and nice result for Séyetana! Quite a grower.

Cor Lupus sounded quite a lot bigger than that to me!

Thanks Brer! Dandy is surely walking this as expected.

Thank you Harve, and oops at the result - thought that would definitely impress the Semi 2 voters.

That's surprisingly low for Zanmatony imo, it felt like a breezy summer hit that could have challenged for top 20 but I guess we've really lost too many of the middle ground voters recently who would have loved this. Thank you for the 13 Wardy <3

Awww, love that one from Greenfroze but I did fear it would struggle.

Every post a nail biter for every finalist! Definitely suspenseful.

Thanks Bronzil and Cheiron! (And Flynnonda for the mention).
