We’ve had our first double confirmation too! I have informed the unlucky nation that got there second.

Altyr have gone with our backup entry from last month - it’s most definitely not a winner but it’s gorgeous and I’ve wanted to send this artist for almost a year so might as well do it now!

In most cases those are the best album tracks so very tough choice, but went for Paradise as it’s the one I most wanted to listen to after reading the list.

I am STUNNED by what I got - definitely one to put my thinking cap on for

Number 20 for me please

Count me in too!

Oh I didn't even think to rank them. My 6th places are actually a rather FABULOUS bunch of songs it must be said. Rather difficult to order too, but at this precise moment it would go something like this: Anna Bergendahl - Thelma and Louise Kamferdrops - f*** You, Jah Alskar Dig Kat Graham - Power Charlotte Qvale - The Beginning of the End Majid Jordan - Summer Rain Quadron - Hey Love Jerome Price - Me Minus You

6th - there was a long time that it felt like my 'default' within the top 10 - I have now amassed 7 of them. I have also finished 1st, 4th, 5th and 12th 6 times each. (all that and still no 9th place)

I was surprised by the lack of hype, when I first heard it I thought exactly the same thing!

I will post full spreadsheets tonight/tomorrow once Bre confirms I've added everything up correctly. I double and triple checked the top 3 - partly to ensure I didn't hallucinate my win. Feels so weird announcing myself as winner, especially as I had no hype at all and against such excellent competition.

Terra Avium aren't too far behind in 3rd either. St Burbia join the above, and Kathaldazia in crossing the 200 point mark. Kluminican Republic return to the top 10 and Lookylion have jumped over 10 places into 6th!

I cannot stress enough, go with your heart. Don't overthink it.

Kathaldazia become the 3rd nation to cross 200 points, with hosts Altyr Muunilinst narrowly behind thanks to their first 18 of the night. Kluminican Republic slip out of the top 10 for the first time tonight, replaced by Republique d'Askorza. At the opposite end, Taahino seem to have settled into last place.
