Harve

Would be good to join 28th and 29th which are the only ones that are feasible at this very busy time! I already did a few EOY calculations because I was curious about my positioning hehe

Mdice managed 9 top 10s in a row (1-7-2-3-7-1-1-10-1) between BJSC 10 and 18 but then got 12th in BJSC 19, so matching your record. Not sure off the top of my head if the contest numbers were aligned across the calendar year at that point. None of the 4 countries you mention have got that close.

Gosh.... didn't realise you'd never finished any lower than 13th!

171 Blanck Mass - You 2 172 Octo Octa - Find Your Way Home 11 173 Kiss Facility - plasma SF-26 174 Burial - Boy Sent From Above 10 175 Avalon Emerson - Don't Be Seen With Me 24 176 Nourished By Time - 9 2 5 32 177 Bubble Love - Double Caper 14 178 Floating Points - Dexion 13 179 Rochelle Jordan - Doing It Too 9 180 Ohonepoint Trix Never - Rodl Glide 6 Best year in a very long time with only one DNQ and 7/10 entries finishing in the top 15, some of which I'm very surprised by even with hindsight (Octo Octa and Ohonepoint notably, I know that the latter is a bit of an electronic heavyweight but I thought it would be too avant garde to do so well). Biggest miss by far was Erika de Casier getting a devastatingly low 12 points in BJSCFestivalen which I will remain bitter about for a long time.

Congrats Dan! And I've really enjoyed this contest - thanks for the great hosting. The scoreboard was a little overwhelming to read at times but so glad all that information was there! I particularly appreciate the icons indicating who has just received points. Absolutely over the moon at 6th - that's the first time I've finished in any position between 2nd and 9th in over 12 years!

I'm doing YTD top 10 calculations in the background and...wow close.

How did I not know about an iconic music video of a song I love so much.

You are in 7th place.

Not against any of the top 5 winning.

Six 18s Beyond my wildest dreams. Thankyou so much. I'll make sure Oneohtrix knows.

Gosh it has been SO close the last few votes! So much for the Jerry Heil runaway (one of several different outcomes I was in favour of btw)

I'm currently on 2 fewer votes here in 16th than the last-placed song, which has about a third of my total.

To think I was worried about Aelandor even qualifying!

Do not worry, since your post I'm now tumbling down to the part of the scoreboard where I expect to see it x Why are N DNTN being underrated AGAIN. Mall Grab/Real Lies also overdue a big rise too. Tori Amos 1st/Saltillo 2nd is crazy good though.

5th is crazy woooow

Ohonepoint Trix Never finished 20th with what I regard as his signature song when Pagasa entered him. I'd be delighted if I matched that and the only reason why I'm contemplating that as possible is because I've consistently outperformed my expectations this year (and this has already been achieved this month as I expected to DNQ until I got a favourable semi draw). There were only a handful of songs I wasn't into so I'm likely to be pleased with the winner, I just have no idea who it'll be!

Voted! I would say that I have fewer absolute faves this month compared to last month (my 18 probably would have got 10 points had it been in last month) but I am in no way complaining about the quality of the contest overall because there is so much great. My 7 commiseration tracks I feel particularly bad about this time.

12 Q 10 Q 8 Q 7 Q 6 Q 5 Q 4 Q 3 Q 2 Persephonia: Boko Yout - DEMOLITION MAN 1 Q Also all of my 6 next closest qualified and I would love to give some of them points in the final... let's hope SF1 is godawful tbh xx 3 DNQs New Lexico, Altyr and Dobago were next in line and it does not make sense that we're already in the bottom half of my ranking at this point.

Was worried about this one (and mine) so glad they have been announced together! I was sure I'd heard it recently (particularly the chorus's vocals) and had to check it wasn't on the 28 Years Later soundtrack which it reminded me of strangely.

Semi 2 is so stacked, it is almost a relief on the rare occasion that you move onto a less interesting entry because you're just glad it's not pushing out another deserving track from your votes.

Shame. Bye.

Anybody else like Ohonetrix Point Never x

I had settled on an album for a while but took the maximum time possible to choose which track from it to send!

It's in xx

Sending my most experimental entry for quite some time and surrendering any contention of top 10 EOY place I think. But very passionate so worth it x
