all of BJSC 181 in one playlist in leaderboard order below

additionally, Kath is the reason Cumulonimbia managed to qualify (with a +12)

Mothertopia got a combined +18 off them in SF1 so could potentially have nabbed a top five

SPREAD THEM SHEETS

final musings for the day before I get to sleep: Cheiron land sliding came as a bit of a surprise as a host given they hadn't even won the semi. As such I didn't want to make hosting any harder for myself by trying to make up a manipulated order to give the impression of a closer race but I trust the results as they were were entertaining enough. I didn't vote any of the top 3, but as far as an all-pop top 3 goes, it's certainly a strong one and I can only be grateful none of them were sent to BJSC 180 as any one of those would surely have had Austra beat. Sovarasma nabbing top 5 was excellent to see, even if I did cling on to some hope it could go all the way after a rather convincing semi-final win. Dalisska and Spodic Empire were great surprise additions to the top 10 too. I'm also very glad Zephyra Continuum managed top 20 in the end after they looked like underperforming for much of the contest. Likewise for my own entry, which I did really hope for a top 10 with but clearly the competition was just too strong so I will happily take a continuation of the top 20 streak. I've no idea what the hell happened to KlumRep I thought they was a nailed on top 10. Shame for Jupiterdonia to also have underperformed, but I suppose outside the bottom 10 is a win for a trance instrumental these days. Without my vote in the semi-final Aeroche would've lost their Q streak... :'(

WINNER: Cheiron :: First Aid Kit – Out Of My Head A massive congratulations to Cheiron who are first-time winners tonight, securing a whopping 359 points - a 53 point lead! Your nation has therefore been SPARED from the robot uprising and may act as a sanctuary country for the next Buzzjack Song Contest.

A-KONOHAGAKURE 61/63 PAGASA 62/63 FARC 63/63 in the last hours of the voting we have some much deserved big points from Pagasa, who also award Dalisska with a fifth +18. A-Konohagakure rep for trance as ever with Ben's Sanctuary (who've sadly not been performing too well tonight) getting an +18 to finish with and Jupiterdonia also receiving double-digit points. A +15 to Séyetana also see them just hit the 200 point mark. Meanwhile the late votes from FARC which we have accepted given the reasonable excuse provide deserved medalist points to some of the dance entries that hadn't performed quite so well tonight.

NEW LEXICO 59/63 SUMMERICIA 60/63 Grand taste shown from Summericia as Sovarasma gain another +18 and Kluminican Republic awarded some much needed assistance to escape the bottom ten...

ZANMATONY 57/63 HENDINIA 58/63 Zanmatony goes big with the dance bloc, meanwhile current flopees Herbilore and Juranabaijan are given some points assistance.

Scoreboard 14 - after 56 votes The next scoreboard you see will be the final update...

no the anniversary entry is Baleghde (BANKS) also Sandénia (Shawn Mendes) who DNQed

PERSEPHONIA 55/63 RÉPUBLIQUE D'ÁSKORZA 56/63 A perhaps surprising +18 from Persephonia put Fljótavík firmly back in contention whilst Cheiron are notably absent from both voters here... the crowd cheer once again as Maruja who we nabbed from Persephonia are rewarded with +13 from the nation. meanwhile Taahino have an especially good update with a second +18 in the space of four votes.

YEHESI 53/63 SKALL 54/63 +15 to Fljótavík and +16 to Hushkanukia see them begin to edge closer to the top. Meanwhile some of tonight's under performers in Taahino and Aeroche are both given top marks which could shake up the other end of the scoreboard a little.

N DNTN 51/63 KLUMINICAN REPUBLIC 52/63 We have a runaway top three now with the biggest fight at the moment being Hushkanukia against Fljótavík for 2nd place. Helping the former's case is a juicy +18 from KlumRep, who also give +13 to the current leaders and more importantly, +15 to the hosting nation!! Scotland 2 re-emerge as a top 5 contender as they surpass 200 points, scoring +11 from both voters in this set. Mothertopia are not far behind either as they climb, ahem, higher, up the scoreboard. Elëdan casually get another +18 too cos why not. Hendinia's long-awaited points injection sees them up 8 spots since the previous update too.. Scoreboard 13 - after 52 votes

COR LUPUS 49/63 JUPITERDONIA 50/63 With another +13 to Cheiron, Jupiterdonia may be on the money tonight, although the closest competition in Hushkanukia and Fljótavík continue to get sizeable points...

TRIFOSKI 47/63 AELANDOR 48/63 Dalisska continue to be an indie vote magnet with +15 from Trifoski and now find themselves in touching distance of the top 5. More big points to Bøtanikkä see them pass the 200 point mark. In great news for us we receive two more double-digit points which keeps the dream alive of our top 20 streak in tact. Skall also belated pass 100 points in style with a Trifoski podium position, whilst big points from Aelandor to Ajanaeda and Séyetana keep them on the edge of top 10. At this point though is Cheiron's lead just too insurmountable? Scoreboard 12 - after 48 votes

MACROMIA 45/63 CUMULONIMBIA 46/63 Dalisska continue to be a big indie fave securing another set of top marks tonight from Cumulonimbia (who we need the full BJSC CAH expansion pack from) - we also thank them for +12 to the host nation meanwhile a top set to Bøtanikkä is promising for their chances of remaining in the top five.

JURANABAIJAN 43/63 BEN'S SANCTUARY 44/63 It's a good update for Hushkanukia who received +18 from sister nation Taahino and an additional +15 from Juranabaijan who did want the entry for themselves, now cementing themselves as the runners-up at this stage. FLJ become the 3rd nation to secure 200 points as they continue to rack up big scores, surpassing Sovarasma in this update. Jadakissnia & Yehesi still remain in contention for the top 10 whilst Pestolia and Dobago emerge as new contenders not far behind. Baleghde and Lotunia could now see themselves finish top 20 alongside Ajanaeda who had been tipped for big success but had been underperforming so far. Meanwhile let's spare a thought for the Klumroche alliance who are still sadly flopping a bit tonight. Scoreboard 11 - after 44 votes
