Tonight is the only night I'd be able to join so would prefer Semi 2 especially as I won't have listened to anything before then, although I'll only be about for the first hour or so

Due to life changes this will be the last contest with Utopia in it for a while. It'll be the 50th (of a possible 56) since I made a return, so feels nicely timed. I will be sending something from (probably) my favourite album of all time, and cross fingers for an AQ.

Fred Again.. is immense, and has been so prolific so even though he's not been around for long it doesn't feel like it. Not many live events I've wished I was at as much as his Glasto set this year. Great that he's a regular in the charts, very deserving.

CC: Disco ahead of Christian Löffler and Mr. Sosa for me

The list of songs I'd actively choose to listen to didn't quite reach 20 +20 The Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York 19 Greg Lake - I Believe In Father Christmas 18 The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping 17 Saint Etienne - I Was Born On Christmas Day 16 East 17 - Stay Another Day 15 Pretenders - 2000 Miles 14 Low - Just Like Christmas 13 Wham! - Last Christmas 12 Jona Lewie - Stop the Cavalry 11 Chris de Burgh - A Spaceman Came Travelling 10 The Ronettes - Sleigh Ride 9 Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone 8 Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday 7 Frankie Goes to Hollywood - The Power of Love 6 Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody 5 Andy Williams - It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year 4 The Beach Boys - Little Saint Nick

Oh my how did I not consider Jake! A definite top 10 entrant :drama: Nice to see Beck make the top 100 - a solid collection of singles amassed over the years

I tried to get as many edge cases as I could in, but M83 was the only one Gezza allowed in! It didn't even occur to me to attempt to include Noel based on HFB

Dizzee criminally ignored last time! :drama: He did go a bit generic mainstream at one point but his best songs are incredible

I thought I might be the only voter for Gerry, so nice to see a couple of others and that I wasn't even the highest points awarder. That first album is so brilliant. Plan B definitely a forget for me oops!

Oooh so close, but fully deserved win, congrats Riser! :D Delighted with a second place, never expected this to join my entries from BJSC 4 and BJSC 34 as my most successful ever :drama:

Ah geez, would be amazing to win, but if it's a second then I'm glad it's to another country that's not won and been entering for a long time!

Oh my! :o I thought Kath was bound to win out of that top 5 :lol:

First top 3 in almost 13 years :drama:

I just don't want to be 4th again!

Enola Gay getting that top 10 :wub:

Loved Deary, and Spod was just outside my vote. Glad to see both of those climb so much in the second half First top 10 since Protection From Evil for me :wub:

Was hoping both of those would be higher, Eastovka in particular. 7 of the countries I voted for already revealed! :(

I was not expecting to see Rosa so low :(

Hmm maybe I'll have another listen... I had less time this month so discounted more songs than I normally would after my first run throughs, must have been something that annoyed/bored me about it - couldn't tell you how it went or what style but I can probably guess!

Incredible to be so high, thanks to all the votes :wub:

Only for my own song! And then comparing it to what songs had at the same point last time and getting a little to excited... :kink:
