That's a good Topic Description this week.

I'm shocked backstreet Boys have made it this far. It's literally a Westlife song which always goes in round 1 or 2!

It'll take a very long time for that to happen, if at all. They're not buying players at their peak, it's somewhere between the Chinese Super League which was flavour of the month for a while and the MLS which is the long-established retirement home for past it players.

Absolute madness the results so far.

Imagine telling Henderson at the start of his career he'd be the highest ever paid English player... when he's 33!

Baffling to see why this is doing so well in the charts when the much more interesting Jimin songs flopped.

And with that we've now competed in exactly half of all the BJSC contests in history. A landmark moment for the nation!

BJSC 156

 

Location: St. Burbia

 

Our entry: LAUREL - Scream Drive Faster

 

 

About:

British singer from Southampton who produces all her music from her bedroom studio

She has released one album, 5 EPs and one mixtape

Another tie! Can we find a loser?

Still waiting for Solo to be this year's Snap.

With De Gea and Jones leaving I guess they were determined to get one former champion back by any means!

Norway did I get that!

Didn't even know he was still with us :lol:

I don't get why he would go back though? He left because he perceived them to favour Max, and that certainly isn't going to change in the future.

 

Perez is doing the perfect job for Red Bull. Nowhere near Max on pace so no risk of clashes like Hamilton & Rosberg but competent enough to still bring in decent points. No one is touching Red Bull until the new regs in 2026 by which time there'll be a plentiful supply of younger options for the second seat.

Yes he was indeed.

Wow Chris Brown on Kiss Me Thru The Phone would have been quite something. Not surprised he passed on it!

AWFUL list.

 

Has to be Brian & Delta first.

 

Crossroads is one of my faves of this batch.

Didn't expect Initi8 to qualify but that's cool to have multiple entries make the cut.

I prefer this format myself, as often it wasn't your best result in the year that would likely do the best in this format of contest, this is an open field.

Right so I was leaning towards almost definitely sending something I had on my potentials list for a while but just wanted to check out some other tracks by the same artist and I'm very glad I did as I've found something even better <3

Excited to see what he brings to us.

Gong for Torn now.

A lot of mid in this list.

A fantastic battle and the better player on the day won it. Definitely didn't see it coming I thought Novak would still be pretty comfortably clear on this surface but Alcaraz's grass court game has improved exponentially this year.

 

I wonder if we're now gonna see Novak get stuck at #23 and unable to match Court's all time record just like Serena did. You have to say, injuries permitting, Alcaraz does indeed seem set to dominate men's tennis as it stands since all of his peers are someway behind. Would be hilarious if we skipped the entire 1990s decade and go straight from the big 3 winning everything to Alca!
