yes I had noticed on my iPhone, during the confirmation period big sad that the font has changed so much from what was intended when I prepared the OP on a computer, but I'm not changing it now as any other font choice may have the same issue I had as a concession put the song lists in standard font so at least those are perfectly readable on all devices

Shawn Mendes has been allowed as it is Sandenia’s 50th anniversary likewise Banks has been allowed for Baleghde when you reach yours you can ask the mods to send an artist who would otherwise typically be vetoed for that contest

afraid it’s not ideal but the only alternative is a clash with The Traitors if I run it on Wed/Thu/Fri which I gather quite a few of us would rather watch live. Unless I get enough show of support that people would still come on say, Thursday. I also can’t do Monday personally. The final listen through is purposefully also acting as the semi final results so you will find out in real time if you have qualified.

note to whoever makes the Apple Music playlist, the two entries unavailable on Spotify are, for whatever odd reason, available on Apple Music but not Spotify

there will be no more vetoes !

it’s all record label politics though I very much doubt Adam is getting involved with it he has better things to do

Calvin is a multimillionaire I’m quite certain he doesn’t care where he is on a NOW CD or if he’s even on it.

it’s very much in need of a remix

Kasabian?! that’s a rather inspired choice and the preview sounds promising , yay

The draw has been decided by MICROSOFT EXCEL =rand() so take your complaint up with Ms Kelly

my mistake - she is still on SCR

I’m still awaiting confirmation of any further vetoes if the list is approved it will go up tonight. sadly you haven’t auto qualified as we’ve got an odd number of entrants

hardly fair to have all this new music up against the almighty LANDSLIDE but yeah my vote can't go elsewhere. Ella Langley was surprisingly good and the semi-reliable Doechii is my other takeaway of the week. Fleetwood Mac - Landslide (#20) Ella Langley - Choosin' Texas (#78) Doechii - girl, get up. (feat. SZA) (#79) Lil Uzi Vert - What You Saying (#61) Djo - Delete Ya (#95) Djo - Basic Being Basic (#81) KATSEYE - Internet Girl (#24) James Marriott - California Rain (#22) She & Him - I Thought I Saw Your Face Today (#97) ROLE MODEL - Writing's On The Wall (#98)

quite coincidental that this time last year Tyla had another song that looked like it was going to take off but stalled rather quickly post-NYE 23/11/2024 Tyla Push 2 Start 23 74-33R(7)-24-{23}-25-30-37->7 06/12/2025 Tyla Chanel 15 68-66-61-51-66-{15}-21-25->8 she could've very easily just been a 1HW with 'Water' though so still doing well for herself I guess

VETOES Shiny Toy Guns - Don't Cry Out 22 - entered twice previously, in XXVII (7th) and I (11th). 3+7 - the band have 1 top 100 song in the UK, You Are The One, at #94 in 2007. This track is an album track from their #150 charting album. - finished 7th in Pop Forum Song Contest VIII in 2021 (sent by Leww), For clarity's sake - 20 of the 23 participants in that edition of PJSC are currently taking part in BJSC. I think this is enough to be deemed as "substantial internet exposure" in the context of this website. 12 Sam Quealy - Londontown 29 - entered twice previously, in CLX (3rd) and CLXXIII (29th). 5+12 - featured on Earmilk. - appears in 3 personal charts (Kath, Jade, DaTilt) - all BJSC participants. - charted for 5 weeks on the Multichart (peaking at #65), falling out this week - although clearly it only needed 3 charts to manage this, it's just high on all 3 of those charts, somewhat unfortunate. 12 - thread in Pop Forum has 6 replies (Blacksquare, Jade, Kath, Awardinary, RobBot) - all BJSC participants. - finished 3rd in "Electronic Track Of The Month: October 2025".

well he’s got hardly any competition so I’d be amazed if he’s not number one J Cole recently announced his album to be coming out on 7/2 so I guess that’s why Robbie’s brought his release forward (though I’d have thought he’d beat Cole anyway)

What are the chart rules regarding streaming? For streaming and chart rules related FAQs read the pinned thread regarding this. How many streams equals one download sale? 100 plays if you are on Spotify Premium, or 600 if you are using the ad-supported free tier. However you cannot simply play a song that many times in one day to give it one sale, you are limited to 10 plays per day in terms of what counts to the chart. The number changes to 200 or 1200 plays when a song moves to ACR. For more information on the rules of ACR see this thread. How much does streaming contribute to the chart? Streaming contributes over 90% to the singles chart as a whole. Spotify counts for at least half of this, with Apple Music and Amazon also big contributors. YouTube is also big however most of YouTube's streams are at the free tier so won't count for as much. Why is my fave not doing well? Is it being promoted on a major curated playlist, and/or going viral on TikTok? If it isn't, it's unlikely to really take off! Hot Hits UK is the biggest of these playlists on Spotify from a UK standpoint. The playlist usually updates itself to include breaking hits once or twice a week, though there is no guarantee that your fave will get a place on the playlist. Also, the UK Top 50 is a largely followed playlist and that songs often experience a 'top 50 effect', when they enter the top 50 and get the additional exposure of being on the playlist. Often sales hits don't cross over to being streaming hits, this is usually the case for songs with an older target audience, reality or campaign songs. Also keep in mind that it often takes longer for a song to take off on Spotify than it would on iTunes. My fave didn't debut high and is falling already, does this mean they're flopping? Not necessarily. Most songs debut relatively low as they aren't instantly well-known, and experience a sharp decline on Day 2 as they no longer have the promoted 'New Music Friday' effect. A lot of songs manage to recover through gaining popularity and additions to playlists. Exceptions to the rule of course come from massively hyped releases, such as the recent album impacts from Drake and Taylor Swift. Spotify How do I see today's Spotify chart?
