Assy!

Wow

I swear it wasn't me!!!

DISCLAIMER: I didn't try to sneak in Ace Of Base...because I still have my artist in competition However, Calum needs to investigate this scandal and punish and eliminate the artist/act and replace it with Ace Of Base

I hope whoever fake attempted to send AoB, went with a banger that is The Sign!!!

Houdini just crossed 1 billion plays on Spotify Not bad at all considering this wasn't the HIT with longevity that Dua was known for!!! Also Training Season is about to cross 800 million plays

It's really sad how her life turned out in the end in all honesty!!! I think, and I say this with all the love I have for her, that she's in desperate need of proper care in all aspects of her life. Starting from professional stand point to personal life. I know it's easier said than done because she really doesn't have anyone to trust after all what happened to her, but yeah wish she had more people around who truly loves her for her...right now it seems like everyone has neglected her!!!

Also I forgot to thank everyone who voted for Tomken - Benzin <3 7th is way higher than I expected for a german indie pop song!!! I kept Benzin on my playlist since late 2024, and so grateful I got to finally send it here.

Well, I wish you a good luck babe

If that's the case then the last posted board is correct!!! ❤️

Last but not least, thanks everyone who joined and commented along <3

Also someone remind me how to do tie breaks?!!! Is it amount of votes or who got most 20's, 15's and so on?

Sorry @gooddelta , I had to build a suspension since Halou were basically the winners from last 12 sets of votes or so!!! Congrats to @FrankLuck as well for shooting up to podium medal position!!!

Okay sure...I'll just go ahead and finish this!!! The tension was building for a potential last-minute coup…but the final votes from CowTzy revealed that neither of the top two contenders received the maximum points Therefore 20 from CowTzy goes to: 20 - Elephant Kind - Man Enough So congratulations to matto for winning 35th edition of Unknown Pleasures with Halou - I'll Carry You 1 Halou - I'll Carry You 181 - matto 2 Ugress - Radio Aurora 173 - gooddelta 3 Elephant Kind - Man Enough 140 - FrankLuck 4 PVA - Rain 139 - Chez Wombat 5 Placid Angles feat.
