Congrats Leww! Happy that my favourite performed as well as 2nd. 15th is a decent enough result for The MFA, will take that. Thanks for a great hosting job, Dan!

Sorry I meant you, my brain is a bit cluttered at the moment 🤦‍♀️

The MFA was a back-up pick after my original choice was vetoed for not being on theme enough. So minimal house it was! Thank you for all the points so far, especially the medals from Chez, Dan and Jim

'Freaky' makes a lot of sense as an Ansel entry!

BJSC 175EQ - B.S.A.S. (Si Alguna Vez Te Sentís Sola De Noche) Our Equestria Airways flight recently landed in Bøtanikkä following their win in the previous contest. EQ is an exciting collaborative project between Argentinian electronic acts Estratosfera and Qiri. I stumbled across 'B.S.A.S. (Si Alguna Vez Te Sentís Sola De Noche)' on YouTube and immediately fell in love with the cacophony of electronic, pop and indie sleaze sounds, that do not let you breathe for one moment. On Friday it was announced that we have qualified for the BJSC 175 final so thanks to all who voted 💗 this outcome means our Q streak is back up to 6 in a row. The final line-up has been revealed and we are situated in slot #13, so let's hope this position won't be too unlucky... We lost the following favourites from semi final 1: 05 Elëdan - Quelza - Automated Assistance Programs 02 Jupiterdonia - La Luna - When The Morning Comes thank you to these nations for the discoveries. <3

I think it might've been 'I Believe In You' in 2005 as Now 60 was the first album I ever owned and it was on there! I distinctly remember trying to phonetically sing along as a 7-year-old

Voted 'Poker Face' to win, the song / video that turned me into a big fan overnight

Both total bops thank you for commenting 💗

That Annalisa song sounded great when listening through the BJSC songs the other day

Glad Addison didn’t fall out of the Spotify chart today. Here’s hoping ‘Fame is a Gun’ stabilises a bit now.

ikr this song has cast a spell on me!! thank you for commenting 💗

Great to see Ari in the runner up spot at the moment and PinkPantheress climbing into the top 40

Taylor Swift regains ownership of her masters Apple Music effect begins: #62 Cruel Summer #143 Love Story #156 Look What You Made Me Do #171 Lover #186 Style #190 ...Ready For It?

Voted! Weirdly I became aware of the OG 'Strings of Life' just this week as a podcast I've been catching up on ('the 2000s chart show' that goes through the U.K. top 40 this week 20 years ago) was chatting about the 2005 vocal version, then the host spoke of their love of the original and played a clip. Good to hear that in full for the first time through this contest. The closing track from Starchaser also sounded familiar, probably from being a top 40 hit.

Fall Out Boy now despite fond SingStar memories x

Starting with Emma, I actually think her 60s-inspired Free Me era was great but this was an unremarkable cover

This has an iconic debut of #69 on U.K. Spotify

Spotify has updated. Tate McRae is at #6! Addison Rae debuts at #69

Oops sorry for leaving this until the last day! I'm working through it now... didn't think I recognised much by name but I actually do know the Felix song! I am also familiar with the gorgeous Jorja Smith version of 'Rose rouge' but didn't know the original sent here, sounding lush right now.

Oh I posted an instagram embed in this thread on 14th May with a clip of this song in it but I think the post was since taken down oops cannot wait to hear whatever it is in full! A comment I keep seeing on TikTok is that it sounds like her 'Club Classics'

Kate Bush Hounds of Love is definitely a contender for my favourite 80s album, what a masterpiece.

Hello Sergej! Yay, 'Baller' has been a massive keeper this year from Eurovision. I was pleased to see that it spent a second week in the U.K. top 75! I have heard new Lorde indeed, initial impression was that it was interesting but a bit too short, hopefully will get used to the duration quickly. thank you for commenting 💗 Hey Piran! :) Yay, Addison is now on 5/5 great singles for me this era - the 8-bit style production of 'Fame is a Gun' is amazing and the chorus has been lodged in my brain. thank you for commenting 💗

Hello Piran hope you're doing well. Delighted to see 'Baller' debuting here this week it's been such a post-contest earworm. 'Soldi' is a fantastic flashback #1 too *.*

Hi Sergej hope you're having a good weekend so far. I'm pleased to see 'Headphones On' sticking around in your top 20. Intrigued to see what you'll think of Addison's new song!

Wow at a Coldplay album track being the 4th most streamed song of 2000! It feels a bit surreal to see Westlife in the list
