This is deeeefinitely the best song of the era so far and the video is SO COOL.

She's not half churning them out! Excited another Night track though as Don't Leave Me On The Dancefloor is easily my favourite of the era so far.

SNAP #1 and we stan Rebecca Black being queen of sneaking in the bottom of your charts these days *.*

I only saw the video today but I agree that it really sets the tone beautifully. His videos always do actually, his videos literally always have this nostalgic feeling about them and tell a story with fantastic cinematography. I think it's helped sell the song to me a bit more too, even though I don't think it'll ever quite because essential for me.

SAVE ELECTRIC

I know this seems hard to believe but, particularly this year, genuinely all of my entries (bar Outside, I think but it wouldn’t be far off?) are my in my top 40 most played of 2026 and I’m not just sending what I think will be hits 😂 There’s been times in the last 7 years that I’ve played it safe out of not wanting to lose it (I’m thinking stuff like Cazzi Opeia, Yaeger the second time, CATTY) but those entries generally only scraped through semis so I’ve quickly learnt that trying to play it super safe actually just makes the entries a bit less exciting. So my entries are probably more in tune with what I genuinely love than ever right now, because I know the run will probably run out soon so I may aswell bow out sending stuff I can stand by wholeheartedly.

Well, I voted but I'm not happy xx

A smash!!!

I'm glad you guys are saying that because I love posting predictions/odds and I think it always brings about the most fun discussion but I literally always feel bad when someone responds with a sad face 😅

I’m nothing if not a shameless promoter so… Oh my god new KY Kelly song has dropped with a cheeky cameo from yours truly slut dropping 10 seconds in 😲 What a song!!!1

This game coming to end Brand New Chanel$’ inevitable Pop Forum: Song Of The Year win x

I would’ve immediately predicted that Blacksquare would love this and much of the pop forum would not. It’s gonna take a bit of time for me to get into this, I think. I feel like, over time, Troye has started to use his voice less and less to the point we’ve now reached where he’s just talking, and even though I don’t think he has the best voice, he can utilise it very well and it has its own standout quality. I also think he’s usually a killer for an immediately hooky melody but that didn’t hugely jump out to me here either. So, I like the soundscape and I think it’s an interesting development for sure but I’m not sure I’m completely on board with him also declaring the dancefloor is dead and now we’re making Music, Fashion and Film by gays.

Glad to see Loser rising up at speed, I’d hate for a 2026 song to get a look in at #1 until 2027 when it’s ripe and ready and was worried Ella Langley was running out of steam!

I think they’re hoping for a similar approach to Basel (where a lot stayed on the outskirts of Germany and France) where people travel in from Sunny Beach and surrounding resorts? Can only assume the Sofia bid was just dogshit and they had no other choice 😂

Not for 2026 but… Confirmed today that we’re going to BURGAS?!

We’re going to… BURGAS?!

That was my thought process - whether to my taste or not, I thought it was one that stood out the most and would probably galvanise high points for that reason? I often find it harder to predict, as I’ve said before, with less mainstream sounding songs as to what is going to connect with that crowd because I’m kinda far removed from it so apologies if I’m wrong 😂 I found this semi very tough to predict tbh, I only felt confident about… maybe 3 of the songs I said wouldn’t make it. It’s a real mixed bag to know what’s going to connect and what will fall through the net.

Voted for DJ Heartstring and made it a 6 way tie 😂

TURN IT UP TURN IT UP 📣📣

I didn’t vote in this but I have been keeping tabs 👁️ Cannibal absolutely deserves to be this high and is probably my favourite album track too. Joyride is such a triumph aswell. Red Flag feels waaaay too high for me, it’s a highlight of that album but not a Kesha classic. Can’t help but wonder how this would look in a few years time and whether it’s still held in quite as high regard.

It has occured to me that there's no thread for my most anticipated album of the year with 3 killer tracks already out. Album, 'Age Of The Exhibitionist' out on September 4th.

Semi 1 1. POPHub // EVAN GIIA - AS WE DANCE 2. Jupiterdonia // Diana Vickers - Pretty Boys 3. Vaskla // AVAION - ifidiewouldyoucry 4. A-Konohagakure // FSTVLST - Tri Esa (Ibid., Op. Cit., Loc. Cit.) 5. Wholune // Iceage - The Weak 6. New Lexico // Chloe Qisha - Baby Girl 7. Scotland 2 // Still House Plants - M M M 8. N DNTN // YENA - Catch Catch 9. Fljótavík // Cain Culto - a plague, a pestilence 10. Terra Avium // The Haunted Youth - falling to pieces 11. Altyr Muunilinst // Mae Muller - Wheels Come Off 12. Cor Lupus // Wolf Cutt & Muki - STARSEED 13. Mothertopia // Danny Ray - Anything For Jennifer 14. Lentyll // RAY - MOD 15. Elëdan // Roly Porter - An Open Door 16. Numayania // KomeAnime - Aeropickles 17. Kathaldazia // Dev Lemons - eat the pavement 18. Aesthetica // Kyra Machida - Control 19. Trifoski // MEMORIALS - Dropped Down The Well 20. Kylienips // Millionaire Muses - Morning Magic 21. Ojnoj // Tash Blake - cologne 22. Ennea // BUCK-TICK - Dress 23. Aelandor // Neroche - Moontide Theory (Hugo Kant Remix) 24. Pagasa // Great Grandpa - Split Up The Kids 25. Harmonica // Badflower - Detroit 26. Hendinia // La Beba - SANTUARIO CLUB 27. New Helvetica // Serafina Steer - Night Before Mutiny 28. Danæviia // Liminal - The Crop 29. Herbilore // Boys Go To Jupiter - Lovers Always Lose 30. Persephonia // Child's View - Pendulum Most likely successes from this semi: Fljotavik, Lentyll, Ojnoj, Kathaldazia, N DNTN Hesitated the most on: Ennea, Pagasa, Herbilore

She wasn’t as good as I thought she’d be but she was much more reliable than the rest in terms of giving them comedy. I would looove her to win but it’s felt like a one horse race for Aurora since Pythia’s elimination. Nearah (and kinda Jada) cleared her in the photoshoot but they needed to give her one last “you’re a star” push to the crown.

I’d assume we’re more likely to see R Bonnie again, no complaints on that front.
