  1. uhsting gonna go 6 for 6 on wrong predictions I fear (maybe 5)
  2. Think this is your best entry to date!
  3. Why So Sirius and Sovarasma are the same country
  4. Wait how did you add a spoiler to a post xx
  5. Oh it looks like YouTube embeds are actually just broken at the moment. Oop x (they'll probably go back to working at some point, maybe)
  6. All aboard the Terra Avium train *.* (me stanning the synthpunk song, world acts shocked) (let's throw out some hype to Jadakissnia, Mothertopia, The Spodic Empire and Taahino too - the latter being a rare case for me of a sub 2:30 BJSC song that actually doesn't feel way too short, think it packed exactly the right amount of punch into its runtime x)
  7. Just copy and paste the link, it embeds automatically (you might have to wait a couple of seconds).
  8. I can do a semi 1 listenthrough tomorrow (and I will be able to attend tonight, usually can't on Tuesdays but I can this week )
  9. I can't decide which out of 'Ordinary' or 'The Giver' I'd "prefer" to see at #1, don't care at all for either of them. So I guess it's interesting that we have a #1 race that's still somewhat unpredictable at this stage (although I'm leaning towards thinking it'll be Alex in the end) but a shame the actual songs aren't so interesting to me. honestly I'd have loved to see 'EVIL J0RDAN' go to #1 but that was never going to happen

  11. @danæ you've got the wrong version of Cumulonimbia's song on the Spotify playlist x (I think the rest is right)
  12. Ooh the hex codes working to give random.org the month off then neat idea, and I had to go with a capybara brown, specifically this one xx Think there are only a couple of songs here that I've already heard again so bring on the discoveries ~ Have taken a risk on a male rap entry so keeping rock bottom expectations but hopefully at least a couple of you will enjoy, gives me a bit of an A$AP Rocky vibe x I was considering entering another song from him instead ('The Old Guard Is Dead') which would probably have had even less of a chance of getting through here although I did find out that it was actually used at the Super Bowl just before the half time show oh my *.* Simian Mobile Disco is a blast from the past oh my (can't remember if I've heard this song before, will see if I recognise it) Oh wow the Scotland 2 song wasn't on Spotify when I checked while doing veto research so must have been added partway through the week!
  13. Brer posted a post in a topic in BuzzJack Song Contest
    Ooh nice. I don't actually think I remember seeing your original flag oops, where did you post it? edit: actually just looked back at your post history as there wasn't a lot to look through anyway and I see it was just in your post in the signup thread I'll update the flag anyhoo, this new one looks a little less Estonian x (I will finally get the OP updated this month pinkie swear x)
  14. I ended up being belatedly right about this after all btw (I think we're looking good to go for tonight now with 54 entries so yay Bronzil AQ)
  15. This week's slightly tardy #2s list: Ariana Grande - Problem (feat. Iggy Azalea) Beyoncé - Drunk In Love (feat. JAY-Z) Daft Punk - Get Lucky (feat. Pharrell Williams) Drake - Hotline Bling Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud Ellie Goulding - Lights Fetty Wap - Trap Queen Hozier - Take Me To Church Justin Bieber - Boyfriend Justin Timberlake - Mirrors Katy Perry - Wide Awake Kesha - Die Young Maroon 5 - Payphone (feat. Wiz Khalifa) Maroon 5 - Sugar Miley Cyrus - We Can't Stop Nicki Minaj - Anaconda One Direction - Best Song Ever OneRepublic - Counting Stars PSY - Gangnam Style Sam Smith - Stay With Me Taylor Swift - I Knew You Were Trouble. Lots here that I really like but I'll nominate these: Beyoncé - Drunk In Love (feat. JAY-Z) Justin Timberlake - Mirrors PSY - Gangnam Style
  16. https://sync-tube.de/room/G3URuYMG Starting as soon as possible after 4pm anyhoo
  17. Will get the list up soon - sorry might be running a little late this week x
  18. Obligatory Pet Shop Boys representation - check Interesting that The Cure and Pulp both get 2 covers here! I know most of the original songs here (which I suppose was the point) but I think I've only heard maybe 2 of the covers already. (happy to go with a listenthrough on Monday also, I'll throw together a YouTube playlist before that if no one else does first x)
  19. Not surprised at Carti having a big first day as the album has been highly anticipated for a while and pushed back several times (similar to Travis Scott's 'ASTROWORLD' and Lil Uzi Vert's 'Eternal Atake' which likewise had much bigger first days than their respective artists' previous releases), although even considering that I'm not sure I'd have called him managing to get the top song over 500k streams in about 13 hours. But yeah, it's probably not going to last very long given the generally not too positive reception it's had so far. Also wasn't expecting such high Spotify numbers for Chappell considering the somewhat slow start it's had on Apple (still 'only' #9 there so far) - I heard it on the radio the other day and safe to say it's not for me (I don't know why I'm disappointed when most of her previous releases are also not for me but I hoped 'Good Luck, Babe!' was a sign of things to come rather than potentially a one-off) but I definitely hear the big hit potential in it. I've not really paid much attention to Sleep Token's music so far but cool to see another heavy rock act that's able to grace the singles chart now! Also nice to see HAIM making a decent splash, feels like ages since their last album - and in going to check if this might outchart the lead single from that album, I've been reminded that there were actually no charting songs at all off it, I could swear I remember them getting at least a couple of low top 100 entries but apparently not! I guess their Taylor Swift stimulus package came after the album so it's belatedly coming through now lol ~
  20. Yes the OP is just missing the people who confirmed on the last day - we have 55 confirmed nations (although that includes Ojnoj who indicated they may not be reconfirming so might just be 54).

  21. Time for my token rap entry of the year lessgo
  22. Lol I have noticed this before - it's just how Excel alphabetises cells that contain only numbers (they're put at the very start so +44, 047, (The) 411, 1111, 1987, 1991 and 8485 are all at the top before all the artists starting with symbols and then it wraps rounds to the ones that start with numbers but also contain letters). And it'd have gone unnoticed if it weren't for meddling Pavitas trying to confirm one of the 2 songs affected by this xx In other news... I'd better look for an entry
  23. Full results from week 22: Best: Viva La Vida x8 Hips Don't Lie x7 Say It Right x7 What Goes Around... Comes Around x4 Bad Day x3 Umbrella x3 Hey There Delilah x2 Low x2 Ridin' x2 SexyBack x2 Beautiful Girls Bleeding Love Disturbia Glamorous Lollipop My Love No One Worst: Kiss Kiss x5 Beautiful Girls x4 Do I Make You Proud x4 Crank That (Soulja Boy) x2 Lollipop x2 Love In This Club x2 Take A Bow x2 Bad Day Bleeding Love I Kissed A Girl I Wanna Love You Stronger Touch My Body ~ My votes for this week: Best: Adele - Rolling In The Deep The Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow JAY-Z - Empire State Of Mind (feat. Alicia Keys) Katy Perry - E.T. (feat. Kanye West) Owl City - Fireflies Just missing out (a shorter list than the last few weeks oop, maybe I was a bit harsher with my original run through the list than usual): 'Like A G6', 'Nothin' On You', 'Black And Yellow'. Worst: Beyoncé - Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) Katy Perry - California Gurls (feat. Snoop Dogg) Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger (feat. Christina Aguilera) Love voting Katy for both best and worst in the same week (I forget if that's a first, I know I nearly did the same with TLC one week).
  24. In lieu of the previous SyncTube sessions' weekly polls cutting each week's songs down to a list of 10 options to vote for because no one volunteered to do the work to make such curated lists, for our Hot 100 #1s marathon I'm just going to post one of these threads each week allowing people to vote for whichever songs they want from the full list x If you don't know what the above sentence is referring to don't worry, this thread is open to participation from anyone (although we're always open to new participants at our weekly listening sessions x), just post in the thread with up to 5 favourites and, if you want, up to 3 least favourites from the below song list. The song with the most favourite nods will get a play at the start of next week's session (and the song with the most least favourite nods will just have a permanent place on a wall of shame for funziez). At the time of the last listenthrough starting there was a unanimous winner for the best poll with Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida' picking up a nod from all of the first 8 voters - two further late votes since then did not add to that tally but it still wins the week, although whittled down once more to the usual 1 vote lead, with joint runner up honours on 7 votes each going to Shakira's 'Hips Don't Lie (feat. Wyclef Jean) and Nelly Furtado's 'Say It Right'. Chris Brown joins the cast of questionable characters to win a worst poll with 'Kiss Kiss' (feat. T-Pain) getting 5 votes - honestly I quite like it oops - with another pair of joint runner ups, 4 votes apiece for Sean Kingston's 'Beautiful Girls' and Taylor Hicks' 'Do I Make You Proud'.
