Brer

I didn't want to tempt fate by posting it publicly but I did think there was surely no way in hell Herbilore would be DNQing this time. Yay! Woo for Lotunia & Trifoski as well :3

Oh my Séyetana qualifying x + Mothertopia's entry is the kind of pop that usually grates on me but it's too catchy not to bop to a bit

Yas Hinterlandia *.* gooduns from Singerpurear & Klum Rep there too!

Ok well glad Whoddy did vote so that slightly reduces the chance of an undeserved extension to their DNQ streak x

Omg not Leww becoming untaggable x (will get botes in tomorrow probs, just gotta do my relisten)

Ties are broken in the semis by number of 12s first, then 10s, 8s etc. Deducted scores do get rounded (or they will be for official stats purposes x) but if there are ties involving deducted songs the first tiebreak is the unrounded score so you can just leave them unrounded.

Hiipe for my faves x

Well it is pretty much all the people you'd expect to not vote I sent Math a nudge on Facebook earlier but a little late oop ~ Really liked most of the entries from that bunch oops but I reckon bar maybe Wholune they're either gonna qualify anyway or would have DNQed even without a deduction.

This site redesign is becoming very shawarma. Let's hope it's the shawarma we are hoping for.

Will send my votes over shortly, I relistened to both semis while the site was down x (oop at the migration turning all the links in the OP into embeds)

See you all on the other side then o: RIP our beloved unsecure 2006 time capsule, we hardly knew ye x

That is literally the entire purpose of it :kink: (well not only that but it's the reason it's being fast-tracked to now x)

It's meant to be done by Wednesday morning at the latest apparently! (I'll still vote tonight anyway x)

...or just waiting until the site is back after which there'll still be a couple more days x

^ the maintenance will all be done days before the deadline so don't see why it would affect it!

Kelly - Ignition (Remix) Rihanna - Pon De Replay Ruben Studdard - Flying Without Wings Now we're getting into years where I actually know most of the songs I could pick way more than 3 of these but I'll go with these: The Game - Hate It Or Love It (feat. 50 Cent) Linkin Park - In The End Missy Elliott - Work It

Hope it won't be too long before 'Don't Wanna Know' drops out of his top 10 lol ~ (I actually don't even hate that song surprisingly but there's no way it deserves to be there)

Gonna need you to both be wrong about Aelandor x At the moment I'm feeling like being suckered into a prediction that Klum Rep might finally win. (Although Amelie Lens' previous entry somehow only came 36th so maybe not, although I do think this one sounds wider appealing x)

With each passing song I feel less like I'm being gaslit by people claiming she's making good music now. ('Diet Pepsi' did eventually grow on me and I liked 'Aquamarine' anyway but this is easily better than those two)

Not Jay Rock's name being rendered as 'J-Rock' by the OCC. (On the topic of Jay Rock, I also thought straight away 'King's Dead' must be an omission here, I see Jim already mentioned that - and was about to say hopefully this means 'Alright' will be going platinum imminently but I see it has already, I'm a little behind on the certifications thread). It is great to see 'Money Trees' being one of his highest sellers anyway despite never being a single as it was always a big highlight from 'good kid, m.A.A.d city' for me, hoping something will eventually give it a UK chart position (it might have finally charted in the last couple of weeks if not for the 3 track rule). It's also never charted in the US, was predicted to scrape into the low top 50 this week but must have fallen a little short (needs to be top 50 to chart at all due to recurrency rules).

Sam hadn't yet even had a top 40 single when his last album came out ('Seventeen Going Under' finally went top 40 the week of the album release and then still took another couple of months before fully blowing up), would definitely expect this album to comfortably blow past the debuts of his first two. Agreed 100k might be a bit optimistic though. I'll take a stab in the dark at like 70k? Still not used to Fontaines D.C. becoming such a streaming viable act pretty much overnight but excellent to see them in a strong position to get a first top 40 hit *.* Kendrick's sales will obviously be down a fair bit this week but looks like there's no new contender to replace him and he's still quite comfortably ahead of Chappell on Spotify and #1 on Apple too so I think he is most likely to hang on for a second week. The bulk of the Super Bowl boost will have already worn off so not sure he'll be continuing to drop at the same rate this week? (But if he does then Chappell could sneak a week with low sales).

...and said top 2 being? xx
