Indeed! I'm excited! I managed to order the vinyl from a Danish site with much more reasonable shipping (cheaper than alot of UK store's shipping costs tbh), so I'm very happy (provided it arrives and I haven't been scammed or anything hahaha, but the site has plenty of reviews!)

Listening to all of these songs is more of a commitment than I anticipated! I'm only about a third of the way through them and don't know what I'd do without Pav's apple playlists 😂 I definitely could listen to stuff while doing other things, but I feel they deserve my attention to vote properly 🙈

Thanks for commenting: great choices, of course!

Ahhhh, I didn't realise that!

I'll take this as a sign of its impending BJSC smashage! I've been obsessed with it since I first discovered this week ('Lucky You're A Star', my #4, was already taken by the time I confirmed it 😭😭😭), so I'm hoping both do well! I actually have 3 of this edition's BJSC songs in my chart this week, all in my semi too! (obviously one is my entry anyway haha)

Hey Sergej! 'Yakuza' continues to grow: I'm really enjoying Italian pop atm! Thanks for replying 😊

Hey JSG! Yeah, I think KATO has peaked already and I'm seeing less videos using it! It's a shame as its a great song - though it's also very of its time, so to be charting in 2026 is still impressive! I'm preferring 'Talk To Me', but 'Sexistential' is different! We'll see how 'Internet Girl' goes for me: as it stands, it's missing a little replay value for me! Maybe something will ignite in the next few weeks! I'm generally not a huge Bruno fan - I like this song but I can't see it being anywhere close to my favourite songs of the year either, but who knows? Haha Thanks for replying!

Hey, thanks for replying! 'WAKE UP' is brilliant! Tbc on Bruno Mars, I'm not generally a massive fan of his, but I do like this new one!

Is that not 'BOY CRAZY.'? That's been out ages!

Oooh, this is handy! Thank you!

After being unable to enter 'Lucky You're A Star' by Valencia Grace (good luck to that one still!), and after going back to the drawing board, I've settled on the infectious Italian bop that is 'Poco Poco' by Angie!

Angie : Poco Poco 115 contests have passed since we last entered, let's see how Juranabaijan fare this time around!

Me too! I was gutted... But I knew you'd already been beaten to it as soon as I saw your description in the confirmation thread, so it was only a matter of time before I got asked to confirm something else 🤣 Good luck to Hushkanukia, it's already been a massive hit in my chart!

Oooh, my semi contains two songs I've charted! Excited to hear the rest!

Is this not fairly widely regarded as her best since 'AOMD' (and maybe on a par with 'Plastic Box')? To say it's "crickets" just feels a bit bizarre... Without the Christmas songs, it would have easily been another Top 50 hit, at the very least

Omg. So excited to be back! The prophecy of Juranabaijan coming back with a smash hit may yet be true! It's been over 11 years (and over 110 contests): I didn't know how to be successful then, let's see if that's changed!
