UNKNOWN PLEASURES XXXIV :: RESULTS PHASE
There may have been other intermittent ones / one-offs - still a clean sweep of all those which have had 8 or more editions would be mightily impressive!

Bop Idol says (unless you meant within Indie, Rock and Alternative)

Frank thank you so much and RFC

UNKNOWN PLEASURES XXXIV :: RESULTS PHASE
I'd be happy to finish anywhere but 21st at this point - ideally 20th as it's one of the few top 27 positions I don't have in any song contest on Buzzjack yet (also 10th, 12th & 15th)

UNKNOWN PLEASURES XXXIV :: RESULTS PHASE
Thanks Julian for some points this time great choice of 20 for Roi, wonder if that shakes things up at the top (and who the sender is, and whether they voted...)
-
UNKNOWN PLEASURES XXXIV :: RESULTS PHASE
Thanks for the points so far - Addy for a bronze, Dobbo, Ansel, Jade, seven, Bré, Wardy, Harry, J00p and Iz for the rest! I had this as a BJSC potential for 6 months and almost went with it in 173, but even with the 50% chance of an AQ it seemed too risky due to the combination of being too short for some, and too much male rapping for others. I discovered Dexndre from another of his songs 'escape 2nite' which instantly stood out on NMF despite being even shorter. Incidentally, one of his earlier singles was a collab with Chez's first BJSC winner Nyteout.

I actually knew that was Addy's entry as he sent it to the Bop Idol I hosted - would have fit the theme if it hadn't been from this decade!

UNKNOWN PLEASURES XXXIV :: RESULTS PHASE
'Deadlight' is the last song I'd expect to be the last off zero!
-
UNKNOWN PLEASURES XXXIV :: RESULTS PHASE
I liked the equine adjacency of feeble little horse and 'Never Good With Horses' in the running order!
-
UNKNOWN PLEASURES XXXIV :: RESULTS PHASE
Almost everything off zero already! Don't see those 3 songs staying there long either.
-
UNKNOWN PLEASURES XXXIV :: RESULTS PHASE
Nfract is my inkling as well, probably because it sounds the most like Cody's winner last time!
-
UNKNOWN PLEASURES XXXIV :: RESULTS PHASE
Intrigued for this! After setting new PBs in BJSC, Club Bizarre and PFSC already this year at my 22nd, 8th & 5th attempts respectively, I'd need a podium finish to do so here at my 3rd attempt after coming fourth last time - don't think I'll come close to that, though I wasn't at the listenthrough and digested everything to vote in one day, so no idea how this will go really!

What is the most Ordinary #1 ever?
[begs to differ] - aside from being a blissful dance tune, it has the distinction of being the only #1 to stay there for just 5 days, as the chart was moved from Sunday to Friday that week!

UNKNOWN PLEASURES XXXIV | VOTING PHASE :: DEADLINE: MONDAY 5 MAY 23:59 PM BST
Think I meant to rephrase "when can we" with "any idea when we can" and botched it slightly... but yeah, could be a Freudian slip to an "if"

UNKNOWN PLEASURES XXXIV | VOTING PHASE :: DEADLINE: MONDAY 5 MAY 23:59 PM BST
Any idea can we expect these results pls? Has voting closed even?

2025 albums year to date estimates
Well done JENNIE - not many new albums break into this list after their first 3 weeks or so.

🏠 Club Bizarre v.31 ~confirmations~ 🏠
I also reconfirmed earlier - unsure if my original entry counted as house anyway but I'm fairly sure the new one does.

Streaming Services Chart Discussion; W/C 02/05/25
Finally, a top 4 of songs which entered the Spotify top 200 this year! Edit: make that top 5 if counting the combined 'Show Me Love'

Song Covers SoundClash #44
Haven't heard Robyn's original, but Beverly's cover is the better of this poll for sure.
-
What is the most Ordinary #1 ever?
Cover Drive - Twilight?

Thanks Bré for the update, yay for top 10 and the highest I've been in a YTD so far! (Previous best was 10th after 7 contests last year.)

Pop Track of the Week 2025: Week 18
Also MØ (following her BJSC top 5 heroics, this one isn't quite as instant for me but still very good) and PinkPantheress.
