'Berghain' is #110 btw, holding up well this week

Wham! ahead of Mariah already...

It's a 'Groovejet' #9/#8 double for me!

'Groovejet' all the way!

I guess we will find out soon (maybe as early as this week or next), but I still think surely not?

'Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own' may well be my favourite #1 of the year, with 'Lonely' its main competition, although I appreciate I'm very much in a minority here! It's my favourite of U2's #1s, although 'The Fly' has taken big strides over the years, and certainly they had better songs which peaked lower, but it has that classic Edge guitar sound to counterbalance Bono's performance and his lyrics (a similar theme appears on 'One') which all build to the middle eight section. '...Amarillo' is my next favourite since I last commented, I didn't know the song until 2005 but have fun memories of it from then on. That's still a pretty great top 10, with one song especially I'd be really happy to be #1, although I have an idea what that might actually be...

Congrats Chez, excellent score! Happy to have ended up in the top 10, today's results went a lot better for me, mostly thanks to an "if in doubt, choose Taylor" approach. From yesterday's reveals I'm glad a few others went for 'Friday I'm In Love' although the even more classic top answer there didn't spring to my mind, I went a bit blank on the best-known deceased #1 artist, had too many options for the British artist and chose Sam because of 100k opening sales and the Mercury prize but could also see Dave being popular for recency, and the only other answer I considered for the short titles was 'Up' by The Saturdays which would have scored 0 points, despite 'APT.' being a huge recent fave of mine - must have been the dot at the end which threw me off thinking of it. Whereas today the only points I dropped were for not remembering a more recent early star-out situation from an album bomb. Great set of questions, thanks Liam for hosting!

I didn't give too much thought to my country name - the first part has rather vain circumstances as I'd come in third place several times in... a certain other Buzzjack event... so it's kind of a celebration of that, tinged with the taking-part-that-counts ethos, which I suppose I've lived up to as I've since been fairly prolific in Buzzjack song contests with one win in 70 to date and a few close-ish calls besides. The rest of the name is self-explanatory, and once I had the capital Bronsilia aka Bronsillier in mind and the other two city names with in-jokes (if I ever host, that's where the semis will be based), there was mileage so I've run with it. Can't envisage changing it now, certainly not to Silverzil or anything like that - if I did opt for a new name it would be Xylomeda (as an evolution from the second syllable and also becoming a rare country name beginning with "X") but we're safe from that for the foreseeable x

Another ACR thought (for the day ) - if any song of any age / chart history except Christmas songs can now get an automatic reset with a 25% increase and have to go through 3 declines to return to ACR, why then was 'Escapism.' hoicked back without the 3 declines just because it reached 3 years old? Doesn't make any logical sense to me, unless all the Halloween, Oasis, etc. resets were actually "manual". The concept of "permanent" ACR doesn't seem to exist outside of Christmas songs anymore, except for the fact that anything over 3 years old is on ACR by default and has to have some reset to escape it, but in the case of 'Escapism.' it had that reset, why should the fact the reset came just before it turned 3 years old mean it gets less of a chance than the older reset songs got?

I make this a 60th day at #1 for 'Man I Need'

For the sake of completeness, I've now listened through the 15 minute youtube of Tight Fit - Back To The 60s - Part 2 and can confirm it is a different medley of songs to the similar length 'Part 1' which was played in Week 12, and of which the shorter "Part 2" played last Sunday appears to have been taken. On a separate note, due to absences and with BJSC final results also taking place this Sunday, I suggest we have a break and come back at 16:00 on Sunday 23 November for the final session of 1981!

Another top 10 hit for Taylor, meanwhile she has only the third song this year to exceed 1,000 points in a week!

That was the contest before I joined - I started reading one of the results threads at the time and had no idea what was going on

Delighted to see 'Capricorn' become an AQ, hadn't expected that, let alone to come within 30 points of the semis! 'CHIHIRO' looks like it was a sensible last-minute swap-in nomination too. Also very happy to see 'APT.' direct to the final. 'Eusexua' so close to the semis though!

Do we think everything on the SCR (DCL-0) list is now guaranteed a reset in January if it goes to ACR before the end of the year? So even if those songs (ignore the old Halloween ones) reach DCL-3 in three weeks time, will that be close enough to the Christmas takeover, or would that be the week after?

I've edited your votes into the poll results - The Human League lose a joint podium spot, but no big changes.

Says a lot that I had 7 of my 8 highest points providers in this semi, and none of them voted for my entry - poor judgement on my part to go down that particular rabbit hole, but after already blotting the year three contests ago and being back on a Q streak I was happy to take the risk. I'd need something pretty special in BJSC 180 to get back in the top 20 for the year though. Thanks to the four of you who did vote for Roxy Music. Anyway it's nice to see 10/10 of my votes are through, we've a pretty strong final to vote in. Thanks Jade for hosting!

'Reach' coming through now!

Not a surprise to be out after the listenthrough, first time in the bottom four of the semis, and 15 is by far my lowest points, as the next lowest was 35.

Happy to see Baleghde through with TSHA, and I mentioned the Lexie Liu song could do well in BJSC in my vote for it in Pop Track Of The Week before the contest started!

You're the second to say similar in the last couple of hours (after Bré on Synctube earlier) so now I've got hope again maybe the audio version would have made a better first impression...
