That was the closest a survivor has ever been to matching my entire list in order.

That Creator Universe thing is objectively the worst song here by miles. But Benson Boone was also be a very worthy winner. Don't mind any of the others, think the only other one I pointed was Central Cee but that was to make up the 10th point.

Tom Odull & Vaults. LEAVE Bastille alone!

Well they need to find 100M to spend on the next past it has-been. Bid for Neymar next summer incoming...

Wow so high for Brazil '16! Good race but not even in that track's top 3 imo. Europe '99 now that was one I wish I watched live, something was literally happening all the time. Germany '19 vibes.

Wait Rolloland is retiring? Missed this unwelcome news :(

Hmmm so the top 3 were non-BJ affiliated? But still they all did incredibly well with those scores, I wasn't as engaged myself this season :(

Thanks for running again Mack, yes that was a fun season long battle.

Qualifiers: 7/10 (same as 2023) Wins: 0 (same as 2023) Top 5s: 1 (none in 2023) Top 10s: 2 (1 in 2023) Top 20s: 4 (same as 2023) Favourite entry of my own: Krampf - I Know A Place Least favourite entry of my own: Lost Sky, ANGELPLAYA & Chris Linton - Unbreakable Favourite discovery: Machinedrum - Gunshotta So pretty similar to last year just with higher highs! Getting my first medal since the last contest of 2019 was a big one and nice that my personal fave entry got top 20. And there's not a single entry of mine I'd "leave on the shelf" either from this year, I still really enjoy Unbreakable. On the flipside I wouldn't call it a vintage year for me for discoveries, even looking back at all my 18 pointers I can barely recall how any of them go. There's been very little I've kept listening to after their respective contests.

Meh don't get the Umbreon hype but wateva, results were mostly fine other than the Flareon shading.

Such a shame when you consider his fairytale start, could have gone on to become a club legend but the history books will look back at him as only a slightly better version of Lingard.

10 Max Verstappen - still very much the class of the field and pulled out impressive results when the car was no longer miles ahead however can't give him an 11 this year due to the numerous scuffles 02 Sergio Perez - a compete embarrassment save from a few races at the start of the season, completely out of his depth in qualifying especially and cost RBR the constructors title 07 Lewis Hamilton - 2 mega victories saved the season and still has very strong racecraft but really underperformed in qualifying this season, last season at merc so lower motivation perhaps playing a part 08 George Russell - bounced back impressively after a poor 2023, dominated the quali H2H against Lewis and very much showed world champion potential if given a more consistent car 09 Charles Leclerc - extremely strong showing this year, maximising results most weekends and pulling off impressive wins, eliminated the silly mistakes plaguing him in past seasons 07 Carlos Sainz Jr - some very big highlights and definitely unlucky to lose his seat however there were still weekends where he was lagging far behind Charles, suggesting a lack of consistency 08 Lando Norris - a big step forward into the deep end with the best car for most of the season, pulling off some superb drives however he didn't make the most of it at times and should have put up a better fight for the title 07 Oscar Piastri - another mostly impressive season for a still relatively inexperienced driver, his Baku win in particular was stunning, but was particularly poor in quali and had too many off weekends to help Lando 07 Fernando Alonso - tricky to rank due to having one of the worst drivers as a team mate so hard to tell exactly how bad the AM was - did all the heavy lifting but has definitely lost a few tenths of pace compared with last season 01 Lance Stroll - easily his worst year to date despite being 8 seasons in, completely outperformed in every department and some unforgivable mistakes (*cough* Brazil) to top it off 07 Pierre Gasly - a largely underwhelming season in a poor car overshadowed by a superb end to the season, pulling out a string of results to drag the team to 6th in the constructors 06 Esteban Ocon - a markedly average season, losing again in the standings to his teammate but the pace was pretty close - the big highlight of Brazil putting some gloss on the year 02 Logan Sargeant - completely failed to kick on despite getting a largely undeserved second shot, absolutely hopeless in qualifying once again and then became too crash happy 06 Alexander Albon - a very strong start to campaign but completely derailed in the final third with many uncharacteristic mistakes and weak drives, will be interesting to see him against a strong teammate again next season 03 Daniel Ricciardo - had a golden opportunity to impress and grab the second senior team seat but offered very little save for a strong sprint race in Miami, seldom looked impressive against his teammate 07 Yuki Tsunoda - solid and mostly reliable without being spectacular, had the measure of both team mates and showed impressive glimpses of pace, however the mad moments still appear from time to time 04 Zhou Guanyu - his euphoric moment in Qatar is not enough to save what's been a largely disappointing season, he was utterly annihilated in the quali H2H against Bottas and showed very little else on race days 06 Valtteri Bottas - despite not scoring he has been unlucky to have such a terrible car in likely his last season as he thoroughly outclassed his teammate and could have pulled off some eye-catching results in better machinery 08 Nico Hulkenberg - arguably the driver of the season in the first half of the year with some incredulous qualifying performances and solid points scoring, things went a bit south towards the end of the season but a thoroughly impressive campaign in general 05 Kevin Magnussen - put in some super drives here and there but was comprehensively outperformed by his teammate in both quali & races and showed his dirty side with questionable driving tactics culminating in an unprecedented race ban 07 Oliver Bearman - impressive stand in performances at both Ferrari and Haas under tough circumstances, looked comfortable and earned his spot on next season's grid 06 Liam Lawson - a decent showing in the races he was given but perhaps underperformed to the expectations, hasn't shown to be outright faster than Yuki and had several avoidable mistakes 06 Franco Colapinto - started off with a fanfare first few races but his stock has plummeted after some silly mistakes, definitely deserved his spot over Sargeant and should be back on the grid sometime down the line 05 Jack Doohan - not a lot to go off with just the one outing, qualifying last was not an ideal start but drove a solid unspectacular race, keeping out of trouble Top 5: 1) Verstappen 2) Leclerc 3) Hulkenberg 4) Norris 5) Russell Bottom 5: 1) Stroll 2) Sargeant 3) Perez 4) Ricciardo 5) Zhou

As a concept Big Foot is in very poor taste but it's really not that bad of a song to me (apart from the weird last minute), she's done way way worse in the past.

They can play Empire State of Mind part 2 and pretty sure I've heard a non Jay-Z version of Crazy In Love.

The most attritional race of all time, a mad watch.

Both if it's a draw maybe!

+5 Band Aid - Do They Know It’s Christmas +4 ROSÉ & Bruno Mars - APT +3 Ed Sheeran & Elton John - Merry Christmas +2 Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You +1 Gracie Abrams - That’s So True -1 Gigi Perez - Sailor Song -2 Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock -3 Brenda Lee - Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree -4 Wham - Last Christmas -5 Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande - Defying Gravity Most of these are the weaker Xmas songs, we need Andy Williams and Jose Feliciano up here!

Has to be Daft Punk, an epic.

I'm backing Kath to do the BJSC/CB double.

You only need 5 points to get second on this chart nowadays? Blimey...

The money has been spent mostly on absolute dross though so he's still correct. Can't say a single signing has justified their price tag for a very long time now.

Amorim out.

Surprised not more artists have caught on and tried to game the system by releasing in late September so they're guaranteed to get at least 3 weeks back on SCR in January as they'll hit their 9th week in early December.
