Big selling album + multiple big selling singles from it?
This came up in conversation the other day and we struggled to think of many concrete examples in the UK (Rihanna's GGGB would be a good example in the USA). There can't be many recent examples with single sales falling through the floor and it must have been more prevalent in the 80s/90s. So setting a benchmark, how many examples are there of: Album selling 1m Multiple singles from it selling 500k or more

With regards to the Spin-Off...
The spin-offs are a bit of fun to lighten the mood of what can become a very serious BJSC at times. Treat them as such and don't over-analyse.

Thanks for the brilliant hosting Mdice and to everyone who gave Inner Massivia points - we had a late surge and were the highest scoring country for the last set of ten voters with BaNG, Cadbury and Spizil all contributing 12 points and Kellyana Kingdom 10 points. A solid 13th backing up a 5th last time.

Thanks to Deandria and New Rivermaya for the latest points. We're hoping for a respectable lower mid-table position, 15th-22nd just above the relegation zone.

Inner Massivia also qualified with a deduction. That works fine. The other way to do it is to multiply the original score by .67.

Couple of things - the Esmee Denters video has now been removed by YouTube (though you can find alternatives on YT) and the MySpace VV Brown video won't play for me in any browser.

Do people vote on the quality of the song or the genre first?

BJSCXVI Official Song Confirmation
Not had time to listen to the album yet but heard a few tracks live on Jools Holland - just think this is a *stunning* single and best thing I've heard in a few months. Scuzzy electro-indie pop. It also has a video. Which helps. I missed the artists reservation thread being launched by a couple of days and my three early picks were all taken - as were most other artists! Eventually after loads of digging earlier today I found a good song I thought would do well which wasn't in the list of "Songs of the Buzzjack Song Contest", only to realise the thread hadn't been updated with the BJSC XV songs and the one I'd found was in the other semi-final last time! Only then did it occur to think about entering the YYYs.

A suggestion: When you make changes to the list can you explain what you've changed with a sentence at the top of your post as well as producing the new list. Makes things *much* easier for all concerned.

A solid 10 pts from United States of Russiatron for Inner Massivia - I think the countries have similar tastes.

There's a crowd of 30,000 watching the live satellite pictures on a big screen in the Alt Markt, Attacktonia. Many have come in fancy dress as mathematical symbols and equations to support Little Boots.
