...and the one that will be the world's most difficult to read forum post ever... 😂 One thing I have to point out that intrigued me is that Herbilore actually received one vote more than Summericia, despite the latter finishing 168 points ahead of it! I think @Herbs can count himself pretty unlucky that 18 voters only attracted 68 points. Summericia and FSR Rontvia were the clear faves for 18s with 7 and 6 respectively - as hinted before, Nelionoir actually only got 4 sets of points in the top 2, it's just they were really consistent so it's difficult to deny they really sent something that resonated with everyone, only Aeroche came close on voters with 33 to 35 Country Artist & Title Total EAS CHE MOT LOO AJA PES JAD DOB NEL A-KO TAA GRE FLJ TER FSR ELE FLY SEY L-DW AEL BAL SKA ALT BOT JUP THE COR AES HUS UTO FAR KAT HEN BRO AER POP SUE KLU TRI DAN MAC NEW CUM LOT HER ZAN PER REP SAN WHY SUM SCO YEH Votes 18s 15s 13s 1 Nelionoir Night Tapes - storm 325 13 9 12 7 12 15 13 11 15 9 3 6 6 12 8 5 4 7 7 12 1 10 13 7 12 12 13 11 1 1 3 13 18 18 6 35 2 2 5 2 FSR Rontvia ARGO - Korku 269 8 18 8 18 7 8 12 10 18 12 11 18 6 7 10 11 3 1 4 3 15 18 10 18 10 5 26 6 1 0 3 Aeroche sim0ne - space cadet 261 11 11 10 13 2 2 5 6 2 15 1 9 9 11 1 13 7 3 12 7 6 7 15 18 8 9 4 8 11 2 6 7 10 33 1 2 2 4 Summericia Avery Cochrane - Shapeshifting On A Saturday Night 236 13 15 18 18 13 18 10 18 10 15 15 4 18 6 18 18 9 17 7 3 2 5 Ajanaeda Nuovo Testamento - Dream On 231 18 15 9 6 7 3 18 6 18 9 2 12 3 7 13 8 9 12 10 9 12 3 6 1 15 25 3 2 1 6 Fljotavik Joon Gloom - Joker 214 5 7 10 11 18 10 8 8 3 13 5 7 6 12 5 18 6 10 1 8 12 15 3 5 8 25 2 1 1 7 Cor Lupus Tsatsamis - Sweet Praise 214 2 12 5 5 10 3 18 13 9 5 3 11 13 6 6 3 12 10 13 5 3 15 13 4 15 25 1 2 4 8 POPHub Magdalene - Lucky Girl 201 7 13 12 1 11 9 1 4 7 12 15 8 3 18 5 6 12 18 15 9 2 11 2 23 2 2 1 9 Kathaldazia MERCY - POSSESSION 191 3 4 6 18 9 6 12 11 6 10 11 1 11 8 13 9 1 2 2 11 4 9 6 10 8 25 1 0 1 10 New Lexico Yorke - airplane mode 191 2 4 13 3 1 13 12 18 15 8 9 4 10 4 1 11 11 10 5 13 12 12 22 1 1 3 11 Cumulonimbia Deki Alem - House Fire 190 11 15 8 13 11 4 3 1 1 2 3 4 4 9 9 9 10 5 11 10 6 15 4 11 11 25 0 2 1 12 Utopia Water From Your Eyes - Playing Classics 190 9 18 9 12 15 7 12 8 6 3 10 9 11 6 9 8 18 7 13 19 2 1 1 13 Danaeviia Levi.Sct - Technotude 186 18 9 15 15 13 10 13 11 13 9 8 5 18 7 1 2 6 13 18 2 2 4 14 Skall Bubble Love - Double Caper 184 3 3 11 8 6 5 10 13 7 5 1 1 2 12 7 5 9 2 8 1 10 4 13 8 7 8 15 27 0 1 2 15 Eledan Nicolás Jaar - Aquí 183 11 12 15 3 13 9 3 7 4 15 7 18 15 13 7 2 11 18 18 2 3 2 16 Aesthetica Jae Stephens - Afterbody 169 8 9 9 6 18 8 1 6 13 8 8 4 15 12 5 15 18 2 4 19 2 2 1 17 Greenfroze Ken Hirai - 1995 163 6 11 8 9 18 10 15 12 2 9 5 3 3 1 18 6 11 4 12 19 2 1 0 18 Cheiron Daisy Grenade - Don’t Sweat It 156 2 7 13 12 15 3 4 15 12 13 6 13 8 13 10 9 1 17 0 2 4 19 Taahino Ashnikko - Trinkets 156 8 15 5 10 2 11 15 18 11 11 1 13 10 4 5 15 2 17 1 3 1 20 Jadakissnia S1RENA - DNA 1NTERLUDE / DNA 152 10 13 11 1 18 15 8 3 9 8 10 5 18 1 7 3 5 7 18 2 1 1 21 Hendinia Frost Children - WHAT IS FOREVER FOR 151 6 5 10 3 4 3 13 5 11 7 5 10 10 11 10 5 12 3 8 10 20 0 0 1 22 Flynnonda Borderline - When It’s Raining 150 10 10 7 10 18 5 4 12 4 13 12 6 1 15 18 4 1 17 2 1 1 23 Klum Rep Swank Mami - Baddiez 148 1 6 8 12 8 4 1 10 2 5 18 15 12 4 6 9 11 15 1 19 1 2 0 24 Rep d’Askorza Astrid S - First To Go 145 12 8 7 8 5 10 18 11 10 9 5 4 10 10 6 12 16 1 0 0 25 Altyr Muunilinst Krewella - Crying On The Dancefloor 143 7 6 1 15 2 4 18 11 13 5 2 4 7 15 12 12 4 5 18 1 2 1 26 Trifoski acloudyskye - Shoots 141 15 1 4 5 7 2 6 10 18 5 8 9 7 13 9 2 5 10 3 2 20 1 1 1 27 Zanmatony Dan Deacon - Feel The Lightning 141 9 3 5 2 9 6 2 11 4 8 8 7 13 13 18 7 7 9 18 1 0 2 28 Pestolia ivri - tower of memories 132 7 7 10 4 6 8 15 1 15 10 4 2 3 15 12 13 16 0 3 1 29 Terra Avium Future Utopia & Lava La Rue - The Pleasure Trap 124 4 6 5 3 8 2 13 7 5 4 11 15 8 11 5 6 8 3 18 0 1 1 30 Lotunia Luca Vasta - Santa Maria 122 15 7 6 4 1 9 12 1 4 7 12 3 4 11 3 2 3 8 1 9 20 0 1 0 31 Land of DW Lord Of The Lost & Within Temptation - Light Can Only Shine In The Darkness 122 10 2 4 1 2 4 9 10 4 12 18 11 13 7 9 6 16 1 0 1 32 Sandenia LØLØ - omg 120 1 15 7 13 10 13 8 18 2 11 13 9 12 1 1 3 33 Why So Sirius Yu - Geld 118 1 4 4 4 15 18 15 15 6 9 6 8 13 13 1 3 1 34 Bronzil Fazerdaze - Motorway 98 11 2 13 10 8 6 8 18 2 5 3 2 1 6 3 15 1 0 1 35 FARC Sycco - Dribble 92 2 12 2 11 9 9 6 5 7 12 2 11 4 13 0 0 0 36 A-Konohagakure Phuture Noize - Hyperspace 84 12 3 5 12 7 3 12 6 4 2 3 8 2 5 14 0 0 0 37 Aelandor PRXZM - Where We Started 80 5 4 1 11 5 6 8 2 15 18 5 11 1 1 0 38 Thelonia Your Mate’s Ex - Disco Shift 78 2 5 3 11 1 8 15 7 3 11 9 3 12 0 1 0 39 Mothertopia Samia - Lizard 77 5 5 2 9 7 18 3 12 12 3 1 11 1 0 0 40 Herbilore Julia Fox - Down The Drain 68 3 2 4 3 1 9 1 2 6 1 1 13 2 1 1 5 7 6 18 0 0 1 41 Suedeonia Ducks Ltd. - Train Full Of Gasoline 52 1 2 11 2 15 7 2 4 7 1 10 0 1 0

SEMI ONE SEMI TWO

52/52 FINAL TABLE Massive congratulations to @blacksquare on a very well deserved win! Even though you gave it away that your dreams were busy fixing votes with Nick Grimshaw! It's undeniable that 2025 has been your year so far so it's only right that you win at least one along the way. Huge congrats to FSR Rontvia and Aeroche for returning to the top 3 this month though, really pleased for you both @gooddelta and @xlewwwwwwx who I can't tag for the life of me. Really sorry Rich that the votes came in the way they did, I hope you didn't mind the reveal in this way and are suitably chuffed with your final placing - I did consider redoing the order but it would have taken too much rework so sorry about that! Kathaldazia and New Lexico win the battle to bag the remaining top 10 spaces in the end, well done both! Thanks everyone for turning up and following along, it's been hectic but kinda fun to host again - I won't be rushing to do it again though lol Proper tables coming up - just imagine how compressed they will end up though if it couldn't cope with the scoreboards!

I only switched yours out of everyones as you did the excellent job of announcing it in your votes for me lol Oddly Nelionoir hadn't received a single 18 before then, just incredibly consistent in scoring

Hello, I like money!I'm Mr. Krabs. I make burgers. Onika can vouch for that! I have the jury votes with me here but I don't agree with them all because some of them are nothingburgers. Go girl give us NOTHING!!! Anyways, support Why So Sirius for their future participations in BJSC because they need money to do so!!! Gib ihnen Geld!!!! Here are the votes: Commiserations without Why So Sirius money go to: Cumulonimbia Taahino Terra Avium Fljótavík Aelandor Bøtanikkä ROBBED AF Our 18 points go to Neliönoir Condragulations in becoming the second country this year to landslide BJSC!!! Can't wait to EXPOSE your ass for the location of your country during votes presentation next edition. You can't STOP me blacksquare!!!

48/52 Nelionoir on a bit of a drought now and giving Rontvia the chance to close following yet another 18! Summericia are hot on the heels of Aeroche now who lose a tiny bit of ground, good scores for the top 5 already though <3 A fight developing towards the bottom end of the top 10 too with quite a few countries as Utopia down to Eledan all close!

Morpeth Cove Calling, I present to you the result of the vote from République d'Áskorza 18 / Aelandor 15 / Taahino 13 / Why So Sirius 12 / Altyr Muunilinst 11 / Kluminican Republic 10 / Cheiron 09 / Summericia 08 / Skall 07 / Jadakissnia 06 / Kathaldazia 05 / New Lexico 04 / Cumulonimbia 03 / Hendinia 02 / FARC 01 / Ajanaeda Thank you for your consumate hosting. Good luck all!

Hyvää iltaa from Persephonia, sending our votes in for this final from the sidelines, thanks to Fljótavík for your hostings x 18 FSR Rontvia // ARGO - Korku 15 Cumulonimbia // Deki Alem - House Fire 13 Skall // Bubble Love - Double Caper 12 Pestolia // ivri - tower of memories 11 Elëdan // Nicolás Jaar - Aquí 10 Trifoski // acloudyskye - Shoots 9 Kathaldazia // MERCY - POSSESSION 8 Terra Avium // Future Utopia and Lava La Rue - The Pleasure Trap 7 Utopia // Water From Your Eyes - Playing Classics 6 Danæviia // Levi.Sct - Technotude 5 Fljótavík // Joon Gloom - Joker 4 Flynnonda // Borderline - When It's Raining 3 Bronzil // Fazerdaze - Motorway 2 Aeroche // sim0ne - space cadet 1 Jadakissnia // S1RENA - DNA 1NTERLUDE / DNA Commiserations: 16th Lotunia // Luca Vasta - Santa Maria 17th Suedeonia // Ducks Ltd. - Train Full Of Gasoline 18th Neliönoir // Night Tapes - storm 19th Thelonia // Your Mate's Ex - Disco Shift 20th Aesthetica // Jae Stephens - Afterbody 21st Zanmatony // Dan Deacon - Feel The Lightning Highlights: - FSR Rontvia's medal tally now stands at 6 golds, 3 silvers and 6 bronzes. Notably they're the first country to get 2 18s from us this year, last doing so just two contests ago with She Past Away - so to quickly regurgitate the same highlight from then, their other previous top scorers were 12 to Mr Little Jeans in BJSC 44 and 18 to Ortiga in BJSC 87, Tina Guo in BJSC 93 and Billx in BJSC 153. - Cumulonimbia's medal tally now stands at 4 golds, 5 silvers and 5 bronzes. - Skall's medal tally now stands at 2 golds, 8 silvers and 5 bronzes. - Flynnonda get their first points from us since 7 to UNIIQU3 in BJSC 138.

46/52 Well clearly this update has to be all about Summericia as they bag both sets of 18s and easily breeze past the 200 barrier - congrats! Rontvia and Aeroche now tied on 236, is there any possibility of them 18 their way to catch Nelionoir?

44/52 Aeroche move to within a single point of Rontvia for second... Nelionoir score in both sets again but only add two to their total as the top two go through a comparative drought. The hosts and Cor Lupus move up the top 10! Generally everything is really closing in the middle section of the table, there's still the chance for people to jump quite a lot in the final few votes!

42/52 Only 10 more sets of votes to be revealed and Aeroche close in again on the top two, they seem to be pulling away from the pack a bit now but Ajanaeda are aiming to keep up! Yet another 18 for Summericia!! And another one for Freeze to as 1995 continues to do well

40/52 Another new recipient of an 18 as Zanmatony bag the max from Trifoski! They move up to 17th with it. Rontvia get a much needed points boost as they return to their ways of snatching 18s, they put some space between themselves and Aeroche but they'll need more 18s to catch Nelionoir... could they? POPHub continue to do well as they pull away from some of the other top 10 contenders in 4th

38/52 The crowd cheer as 18 points go from Cyprus to Greece! Er sorry, wrong contest, I mean Klum Rep to Aeroche! They cement themselves in 3rd and close in to 200 points A 15 from Suedeonia sees Rontvia stay ahead though and move over the magic 200 mark... but Nelionoir stealthily manage to bag two high scores to actually extend their lead Levi.Sct finally picks up a second 18 after getting the first of the night earlier, they move back up to 7th as a result
