Not counting their credited hit with Calvin Harris, they should have had a few more hits to their name than just this one, and it also deserved to peak twenty places higher than it did!

BJSC 189 Entry (October 2026) Host Country: Neliönoir ============================== Artist: Rollergirl Song: Close To You [AC-Koma Mix] Origin: 🇩🇪 Germany Rollergirl is the name of German singer Nicole Safft. Her love for rollerskates developed early when working at a rollerskating rink. She was discovered in 1999 and released the hit Dear Jessie which became a hit across Europe, including a UK Top 40 hit to her name. Rollergirl’s career was relatively brief compared with some of her contemporaries, but her best-known singles have developed a strong nostalgic following. Her combination of bubblegum hooks, Eurodance rhythms and unmistakable late-90s production gives her music a distinctly time-capsule quality — energetic, colourful and unapologetically fun. Close To You was released as a single in 2001, following her debut album, but never made it onto a second album at the time. It is a wonderfully nostalgic slice of late-90s/early-2000s Eurodance, combining a sweet, instantly accessible pop melody with glossy electronic production. It may not have the impact of Rollergirl’s biggest hits, but Close to You is arguably one of those tracks that captures the fun, colourful and uncomplicated spirit of turn-of-the-millennium dance-pop.

Confirmed.

Ok well that convinces me now that Julian is not Kate Bush in the Pop Factor! He wouldn't be so blatant as sending here to two events at the same time... would he? 😮

Has @Scene ever hosted a Bop Idol before? I wonder what theme he might choose if he wins!!!

Was that the song you never got to send to Pop Factor earlier in the year @Addy! ?

This is not Whamageddon!!!

@Bror can you dig out your old pair of roller-skates from under your bed and skate down the road shouting some hype for Zanmatony for just a change. We will pay you in points later I'm sure.

I've opted for Daniel too. Just feels more memorable for me from the time.

Gave my vote to my namesake this time, though I didn't appreciate it as much when I was younger.
