Welcome to St. Burbia for the commencement of the 138th Buzzjack Song Contest. The Dame Adele Laurie Blue Adkins Amphitheatre in St. Burbia's eponymous old city plays host to this special occasion. St. Burbia invites all participants to confirm their entry for this month's contest using the following link: <<< CONFIRM HERE >>> Before you confirm your entry, whether you're an old hand or relatively new participant, please take the time to consider the rules. Rules ⌦ All registered countries are eligible to enter this month's contest with the exception of Buzzjack Mountain and Cadelicia, both of which are on the naughty step for failing to vote last month. ⌦ Last month's winners Aesthetica will autoqualify for the final and if there are even number of participants, our runner's up from BJSC 137, Kluminican Republic, will join them. ⌦ You must not enter any of the artists who finished in the top 3 from BJSC 137. If you have short term memory loss, those artists are: Violet Chachki & Allie X, Ben Böhmer, Nils Hoffmann & Malou and Alewya. You also must not enter the same artist you entered last month. Don't try it. ⌦ Be kind to the BJSC mods and check the Songs of the Buzzjack Song Contest thread to make sure you are not entering a song that has been entered before. ⌦ As ever, the BJSC mods will use the veto framework to root out any cheap ass entries so don't bother trying to send something obviously cheap and veto worthy. ⌦ You must confirm using the form provided only and entries will not be accepted by any other method. ⌦ We will accept confirmations until Monday 20 September at 23:59 BST. I'm not kind enough to give you a semi final reveal party and instead the semi finals thread will go live on Tuesday 21 September (assuming the list of entries is approved by then of course). Contest timetable Semi Final voting period: Tuesday 21 September to Monday 27 September Semi Final results: Tuesday 28 September at 20:00 BST Final voting period: Tuesday 28 September to Wednesday 6 October Final results: Thursday 7 October at 20:00 BST Confirmed nations (62): ⌦ St. Burbia ⌦ Bøtanikkä ⌦ Jupiterdonia ⌦ Aeroche ⌦ Land of DW ⌦ Niceland ⌦ Danæviia ⌦ Dobago ⌦ Utopia ⌦ Sovarasma ⌦ Jadakissnia ⌦ FSR Rontvia ⌦ Altyr Muunilinst ⌦ Zanmatony ⌦ Lookylion ⌦ Cor Lupus ⌦ Pagasa ⌦ Cumulonimbia ⌦ Aesthetica ⌦ Mosquetania ⌦ Rolloland ⌦ République d’Áskorza ⌦ Kluminican Republic ⌦ Mulgracia ⌦ D'yermak'er ⌦ Terra Avium ⌦ Hushkanukia ⌦ Caerfyrddia ⌦ Summericia ⌦ Séyetana ⌦ Wholune ⌦ Harmonica ⌦ Thelonia ⌦ Oslol ⌦ Taahino ⌦ N DNTN ⌦ Bhangra ⌦ Aelandor ⌦ Quintessa ⌦ Flynnonda ⌦ FARC ⌦ Ojnoj ⌦ The Actual Republic of Bellamia ⌦ Aquafina ⌦ Kathaldazia ⌦ Republic of Adonia ⌦ Singerpurear ⌦ #00274E ⌦ Eastovka ⌦ Tartford ⌦ New Lexico ⌦ Suedeonia ⌦ Skall ⌦ Greenfroze ⌦ Sergeistan ⌦ East Rukahavian ⌦ Hendinia ⌦ Persephonia ⌦ Trifoski ⌦ Lotunia ⌦ POPHub ⌦ Yehesi

I honestly don't even know what to send myself yet. I'm looking forward to announcing my own DNQ at least *_* You are definitely underselling yourself there!

Amazing rating for Emma Raducanu's historic win at the US Open last night :clap: @1436978804103290881

All are welcome to join the wine moms in idyllic St. Burbia, your official hosts of BJSC 138. Grab your entries and join us x I can't promise my hosting won't be a mess but let's see what happens. Dates to be announced soon.

I’m shook :cheeseblock: St Burbia bigger and rollier than ever :cheeseblock:

Omg this!!!!

Ken Lee teas !!

Omg I lost so many faves from my votes across both semis :mellow:

VIP :cheeseblock:

The title track is one of her best ever songs! Wow :cheeseblock:

Nah not Bill going out :no: Went for Captain Jack again x

Merged with the existing thread :magic: I found s1 the strongest on the show and it just went on a downward spiral from there. s3 was slightly better than s2 overall. I think the whole show ending at s4 has to be the most disappointing moment of the 4 series. Very unsatisfying ending!

Omg!!! :cheeseblock: Finally breaking my top 5 allergy in style 😭😭 I haven’t read through the results thread yet but thanks everyone who gave points to my entry <3

We like those odds very much x

Why is Bill in the lead 😭 I went for Captain Jack this time!

FINALLY Radio 1 next pls

Voted!

I'm guessing the number quoted for streams is requests rather than average, which is always massively inflated compared with the final figure we see from Barb. I think overnights include streaming via TV but not other devices as that takes longer to collate?

The match average was 29.85m which brings it down to 5th behind EastEnders and The Royal Family documentary. Still a crazy high figure!! The average also very close to the peak, which is great to see.

Not an all-time record but last night peaked with over 30m viewers! Massive! @1414505437374959622

The most bizarre thing for me is Grealish and Sterling not taking a penalty over Saka. Way too much pressure to put on a young kid!! Italy were the better side, they were all over England in the second half. But at least it hopefully gives the time plenty to learn / build upon for the World Cup. As soon as Rashford and Sancho missed in quick succession, my heart sank for the reaction more than anything. Says a lot about the state of this country, the media and so-called "fans".

Crying at this!! @1413109620764205057

Crying at how the re-recording sounds like a fake iTunes cover. Iconic :cheeseblock:

There will be knighthoods dished out like candy, forget the MBEs :lol:

It genuinely could pull in the biggest TV rating of all time in the UK. 32.3m from 1966 is the number to beat and with a bigger population / wider access to TV sets since then, it could happen!
