  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. After BJSC XVI (May 17th) and six contests, Inner Massivia's voting record in finals is as follows: Torchwood 25 (4 appearances; highest pts 8) Utopia 22 (2; 12) Dalisska 19 (2; 12) Kylienips 18 (2; 12) Angelicland 15 (2; 10) Nonsuch 15 (3; 6) FSR Rontvia 14 (3; 7) Ojnoj 14 (2; 10) Quotosibb 14 (2; 7) Mdiče 12 (3; 5) Herzebania 12 (2; 10) Eledan 12 Kingdom of Shadow 12 United States of Russiatron 12 Kathaldazia 11 (3; 8) Cadbury 10 (2; 7) Botanikka 10 Frahliso 10 Rivandia 9 (2; 7) Ashton 8 Fortunia 8 Lorikeet 8 Hendinia 6 (2; 4) Bhangra 6 Britmasu 6 Juranabaijan 6 BaNG 5 Numayania 5 FNR Tinnmark 4 Tapatilandia 4 Kopečka 3 (2; 2) FSR Farahtyn 3 MKL 3 Sangria 3 JRK-off 1 Land of Jack 1 Simondly 1 Kellyana's Kingdom 1 Stats 38 countries have received votes in 6 contests. All 6 contests have produced a different winner. Utopia is the only country to back up their win with another top 3 place. 16 countries have filled a top 3 position out of a theoretical maximum possible of 18. Utopia and Torchwood have both appeared in the top 3 twice. 16 countries have been voted for at least twice, with Torchwood the only country to receive votes on four separate occasions.
  4. 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.
  5. Thanks Nonsuch!
  6. 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.
  7. Thanks for the early points to: Mdice Kopecka Jester's Kingdom Numanyia
  8. I think we may in indie this month.
  9. Inner Massivia also qualified with a deduction. That works fine. The other way to do it is to multiply the original score by .67.
  10. My votes in order: 1) Estonia 8.5 2) Iceland 7.5 3) Romania 7 4) Portugal 6.5 5) Albania 6.5 6) Norway 6.5 7) United Kingdom 6 8) Finland 6 9) Denmark 6 10) Armenia 6 ================ Azerbaijan 6 Israel 5.5 Bosnia & H 5.5 Germany 5.5 Malta 5 France 5 Greece 5 Spain 5 Turkey 4.5 Lithuania 4.5 Russia 4 Ukraine 4 Moldova 3.5 Sweden 3 Croatia 3

  15. Inner Massivia have now voted - quite a nice mix this month and just about managed to find ten to vote for.
  16. 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.
  17. Medicated Soap - any chance of putting in the time for votes to be in on the first post/or in the title? Thanks.
  18. Do people vote on the quality of the song or the genre first?
  19. 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.

  21. 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.
  22. After BJSC XV (April 12th) and five contests, Inner Massivia's voting record in finals is as follows: Torchwood 17 (3 appearances; highest pts 8) Angelicland 15 (2; 10) FSR Rontvia 14 (3; 7) Quotosibb 14 (2; 7) Herzebania 12 (2; 10) Dalisska 12 Eledan 12 Kingdom of Shadow 12 United States of Russiatron 12 Utopia 12 Cadbury 10 (2; 7) Botanikka 10 Frahliso 10 Ojnoj 10 Kathaldazia 9 (2; 8) Rivandia 9 (2; 7) Mdiče 9 (2; 5) Nonsuch 9 (2; 5) Ashton 8 Fortunia 8 Lorikeet 8 Hendinia 6 (2; 4) Bhangra 6 Britmasu 6 Juranabaijan 6 Kylienips 6 BaNG 5 FNR Tinnmark 4 Tapatilandia 4 Kopečka 3 (2; 2) FSR Farahtyn 3 MKL 3 Sangria 3 JRK-off 1 Land of Jack 1 Simondly 1 Stats 36 different countries have received votes in 5 contests. 5 countries have received 12 pts, all in their only appearance in the IM top 10 (Utopia, Eledan, Kingdom Of Shadow, Dalisska, United States of Russiatron) 15 different countries have filled a top 3 position out of a theoretical maximum possible of 15. 12 countries have been voted for at least twice, with Torchwood and FSR Rontvia the only countries to receive votes three times.
  23. Wow quite a comeback by Little Boots in the second half - thanks to everyone for the lovely points!
  24. A solid 10 pts from United States of Russiatron for Inner Massivia - I think the countries have similar tastes.
  25. 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.
