Ooh nice, my points double again and picking up a medal which I was definitely not expecting to happen at any point! Thanks Doctor B ❤️ After were not too far off my points, was reminding me a little of 'Pure Shores'.

Thanks Dobbo, inching towards the double figure points mark I'm surprised L'Impératrice aren't doing better so far, thought that one sounded like it could be quite wide appealing, a bit of an earworm for me anyway!

Camp Claude being Rich makes a lot of sense - I wasn't sure the spoken word part gelled that well with the rest of the song on first listen but it clicked with me more on my second listen albeit still just missed out on my votes. Ooh at Yndling getting up there now o:

Yumi Zouma's captor revealed! (I'll forgive you as you weren't in BJSC when I sent them + you have generously doubled my points so far, thank you x)

I could have guessed Thomas Dolby would be Rollo even before seeing the song length!

The scoreboard definitely living up to the complete crickets poor brave Ruby Haunt got on SyncTube. If this song wasn't even appealing to SyncTube people there's no chance it was going to appeal to anyone else, thanks Ansel for saving me from being the last off 0 anyway x Jade contending for the back to back wins *.*

From the title alone surprised that yeule song hasn't shown up in BJSC x Great stuff from them though <3 Quite surprised to see Tennis being the last on 0. (even Ansel not voting for them when he sent another of their songs to BJSC oop x)

Bye x

blacksquare smashing again another nice track from Night Tapes, not surprised at it doing well x

Thought chiaroscuro may have been uhsting what with them being in that Alt Track of the Month poll, another v good song from them x (noting the 8 points to Yumi Zouma when you didn't vote for them in BJSC though xxx)

I think 'Mario's Café' is my favourite of the Saint Etienne songs that have shown up in the anon contests, would expect it to do pretty well so surprised at Mango's post earlier in the thread

Good entry from Harry, hope it'll lift off 0 soon x

Chez not with the self recycle this time after all o:

Glazyhaze is a great name for a dream pop act! (also a very good song to start the reveals with <3)

Starting my second listen in just a min so will have votes in this evening - this edition has a very strong start and finish but the second half overall is not the greatest, I've got enough songs I'll want to vote for though. Feels odd to not know the SyncTube reactions, I think it's been a while since I last missed a listenthrough x (will say it is all very pleasingly varied throughout though)

I'm definitely expecting myself to come last or close to it based on the reaction from SyncTube but we'll see, living vicariously through whoever gave Yumi Zouma a second life x

^ this post just making me realise you've now sent artists called both No and MØ *_*

yes (unironically 'Kyoto' was super ahead of its time)

Sorry I missed the listenthrough oop, was shattered when I got home and just fell asleep for the evening - will give the list a couple of listens over the Bank Holiday weekend x

Omg the dramz x I'm trying to rack my BJSC historian brain to think if anyone has ever corrected votes after results already finished and I don't think they have (think it has happened during the reveal a couple of times but not after) so I'm not sure whether we correct that or not, SOS mod decision needed xx (feat. somewhat of an unfortunate conflict of interest as the corrected votes would swap myself and Hendinia (as well as Trifoski/Palmyra)...! Schrödinger's top 15 hit impakt) ((fwiw I'd probably lean towards deferring to what was actually in Josh's inbox i.e. keeping the scoreboard as is but it's a bit of a grey area with the timestamp receipts oop))

Moves them up to 10th place on the medal table, replacing Kathaldazia in the top 10 for now 1 15-9-13 Aeroche 2 8-10-9 FSR Rontvia 3 6-9-2 FARC 4 6-7-13 Hendinia 5 6-3-4 Altyr Muunilinst 6 6-2-4 Mdiče 7 5-5-2 Elëdan 8 5-3-3 Fljótavík 9 5-2-2 Cor Lupus 10 4-2-3 Bøtanikkä (11 4-1-4 Kathaldazia 12 4-1-2 Summericia) Will get a new YTD update posted shortly btw, continuing to have some very bunched up contenders towards the top spot... (edit: oop I think I'm gonna hold off on the YTD update pending clarifying Elëdan's votes as per the next post)

*.* I've noticed that it has eventually crawled its way over the 1,000 streams mark, not sure why she just randomly uploaded it after so many years with absolutely no acknowledgement on social media etc. but not complaining x (I'm still not actually 100% sure it isn't a bootleg upload lol but the copyright appears to be legit)

I can't really pretend to be particularly enthused about this winner as it's a song I voted to veto (2 months in a row where the winning artist is surely going straight on the unofficial shadowban list, I just kind of thought Debbii should have been on it already after 2 top 10 hits in the space of less than a year ) and also ranked quite lowly, it did click with me a little bit more on my last listen as I said but was still ultimately in my bottom 10 oop (32nd, same position as 'Twist The Knife' for me as it were, and am still yet to vote for any of this year's winners although ALT BLK ERA came very close). The ABBA style just isn't really my cup of tea unforch but I definitely see why it did so well. The one nice thing I will say is that I look forward to hopefully another Bøtanikkä hosted contest now! As I'm not sure I'd have been able to convince Neliönoir to do the honours again if they had won that battle xx We love to see Neliönoir with the back to back medals anyway and although they faltered in the end after leading for a long time, still nice for Pestolia to get their first medal as well! Also will happily take Scotland 2 matching their peak, I really got strong winner vibes from 'Cinderella' but I knew I was probably being a bit biased in that as it was my own comfortable fave, it wasn't too far off though! 3 of the 4 Persephonia artist recycles getting better results than when I sent them, happy that Momma managed to sneak into the top 20 and cool for Beth Ditto to make the top 10 this time though I didn't quite get into this song as much as the other recycles sadly. Also glad to see 'Hold Me' at least doing better than 'Contradictions' for Minuit Machine but I am a little surprised at it not being in the top 10 mix, certainly deserved to be! The lower half of the top 10 is great, gave at least 5 points to all of the songs in 7th-10th place - Burial is remarkably consistent in BJSC, 2 of his 3 entries coming 10th while the other one came 12th! Also great that after their slow start Greenfroze got so much love in the latter end of the reveal and finished in the top 20, Asian pop ballads are not usually my thing at all but Song Sohee has such a striking voice, strong shades of Caroline Polachek. Yay for decent midtable showings for Macromia and Séyetana too (the latter deserved better once more but Igorrr coming a long way from crashing out with 17 points in the semi-final the first time he was sent so we take those). Jadakissnia, Why So Sirius, Jupiterdonia and Palmyra in underrated corner this month - particularly quite disappointed that '666 (Demonio)' only barely did better than the last Why So Sirius entry oop. Hope that we won't have to wait so many years for another Palmyra entry this time! Aw at the top 10 dream for me ultimately being in vain after being there for a fair bit of the reveal, instead just getting my second 16th place finish of the year and my 8th to date *_* 3 for 4 on top 20 hits in the year to date anyway which is good going - in fact just checked and it's surprisingly only the second time I've ever managed that after my opening run of 16-32-3-7 in 2020! I did come top 20 again the month after that time so here's hoping I can keep the consistency (minus the one flop) up again 69 points in the semi, nice x (appears I more or less retained the same voters from the semi to the final, aside from going from 1 to 0 from Skall and from 0 to 1 from Bøtanikkä). Thanks again to Josh for a fun hosting! <3

Just confirming that my scoreboard does match yours exactly - well done for a flawless first go at the spreadsheeting x
