Cyprus 12 to Greece shocker

Sweden finally have a point

These results so far are not it

My votes would be 12 Sweden 10 Australia 8 Bulgaria 7 Romania 6 Lithuania 5 Denmark 4 Cyprus 3 Finland 2 Ukraine 1 Germany (Croatia's I'd maybe overlooked, but more likely 11th or 12th for them) "You're in my head, my heart, my body parts" is just too catchy, Delta's was the best performance though. Even with a huge bias to the UK entry I'd put it 6th or 7th at best - I kind of wish he'd sent one of his less novelty songs just to see what Europe make of it.

Not the Australia / Austria thing again

Romania's has grown on me a bit, so that's one of the 10 for me

She's not the strongest singer but the song is catchy - 9 voteworthy songs for me now (and I guess Serbia in reserve so I'll have 10 guaranteed)

Felicia an easy 8th, definitely top 3 for me so far

The Lithuania song has a nice chorus melody, guess that makes it 7

hmm I guess Finland makes it 6 voteworthy songs, I don't see this winning though

I have 5 songs so far I might think worthy of points in BJSC not counting UK (Australia, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, Ukraine) - not sure I'll get to 10 by the end

A big improvement on Thursday's performance, Sam gave that 100%

Aelandor, Bronzil, and now the UK represented by LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER. I'm still not quite sold on the song, maybe that could still change...

A bit of a bop here

Brilliant performance from Delta

This should eclipse everything so far

I mean... what did anyone expect?

+5 Chemical Brothers - Go +4 Michael Jackson - Billie Jean +3 Tame Impala - Dracula +2 Michael Jackson - Human Nature +1 Michael Jackson - Beat It -1 Olivia Rodrigo - Drop Dead -2 Sombr - Homewrecker -3 Sam Fender & Olivia Dean - Rein Me In -4 Justin Bieber feat.

Yes, Taylor had 28 songs starred out in the week of its release, all of them were in the top 65 of the chart without ACR or the 3-track rule, and did bigger numbers than the official #32 that week.

Aside from Gracie at #26, every song in the top 200 is either Drake or falling at least 12 places.

Leon to go first

This week's new peaks on the Audio Streaming chart for songs either on ACR or starred out: 12 Michael Jackson - Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough 25 Michael Jackson - Dirty Diana 35 Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal 38 Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror 41 Michael Jackson - Bad 45 Michael Jackson - The Way You Make Me Feel 50 Michael Jackson - You Rock My World 55 Michael Jackson - Rock With You 62 Michael Jackson - Chicago 65 Michael Jackson - They Don't Care About Us 72 Michael Jackson - PYT (Pretty Young Thing) 81 Michael Jackson - Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' For comparison: 4 Michael Jackson - Billie Jean 7 Michael Jackson - Beat It 9 Michael Jackson - Human Nature 49 Jackson 5 - I Want You Back 58 Michael Jackson - Thriller [not a new peak] Next week, expect lots of Drake...

Voted TSHA, was never going to affect the week's winner but it took her off zero.

Voted Lykke Li (and created a three-way tie, oops!)

BJSC 185 Tiffany Day - DOIT4ME Another artist on a few people's radar, Tiffany finished 8th in the previous contest, but I'd first heard of her beforehand when this song came up randomly on Spotify and I had to find out more. It's still my favourite track on her album HALO where it segues from the opening track, 'EVERYTHING I'VE EVER WANTED', and there is a video combining the two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afhy9n3e-uQ
