Brer

'A Little More' fell from #10 to #18 from Monday to Friday and 'Camera' is around the same position on Spotify as that was at the same stage, I think it could still stay top 20? As with all of his recent releases it's clearly doing better on other platforms (it is top 20 on Apple).

Me to win

Oh my

I was thinking we might end up having BJSC and Nuggets results on the same day (and perhaps Club Bizarre starting as well) so a good idea to push back by a day x

I won't be able to follow (most of) the results live tomorrow unfortunately so my calculator will have to wait a little bit x Manifesting 'Korku' and 'Double Caper' to smash

'Faded' tanking we love to see. Yay for Christine And The Queens also x

Would not be entirely unprecedented for the final song on the album to chart, 'Jimmy Cooks' was the last song on Drake's 'Honestly, Nevermind' but was his highest charter in week 1 for example.

I think I'm happy enough with my entry but will just have to see if y'all are outclassing me again (anything better than last place will be an improvement from the last one), very excited for this contest x

Do they often give multiple nominations to the same artist? 5 JADE songs feels just a tad excessive...! edit: just checked and Wikipedia does have the stats on this, Mini Viva were triple nominated in 2010 and there have been a few other double nominations but nothing like this before. It's also the second year in a row that 'Angel Of My Dreams' has been nominated :') so she's got 6 nominations in just 2 years which only puts her behind Girls Aloud and Little Mix for the all time most nominations. Not sure if JADE is really just that overhyped by PopJustice or if there's just so little going on in British pop music at the moment xx Would rather have nothing than Chloe Qisha xx

2017 Future - Mask Off Lil Uzi Vert - XO TOUR Llif3 Stormzy - Big For Your Boots think these were all ones that fell off the radar last year because I stopped nominating lol

Yes, you can do guest votes (think it's only BJSC that doesn't allow them).

Will get something in today obvz! I wanted to aim to get this sorted earlier as I do want to find something GOOD for this theme but oop the deadline came up quickly

Voted, really strong contest this time, about 8 songs that feel worthy of a medal position and at least 15 I'd be happy to vote for

It's not much bigger than the gap on Spotify this time last week (Olivia is up ~19k, 'Golden' is down <1k). As it has been for weeks, the multiple versions and stronger support from other platforms will likely be enough for 'Golden' to still be #1 by a decent margin unless the gap widens a lot more over the week.

https://sync-tube.de/room/ApAM3t-I Starting from 8pm ish (I'm not asleep this time xo) YouTube playlist:

Happy to do Thursday (posted in the Nuggets thread that I can do the two listenthroughs tomorrow and Thursday so Nuggets tomorrow I guess x)

Was thinking to do a listenthrough for either this or the BJSC final tomorrow (and then maybe the other one on Thursday) edit: looks like people want BJSC on Thursday so I'll do this one tomorrow

Final YouTube playlist: Sadly lacking in ikonik Finnish girl choreo

Edited the Q streak update from last contest into this post - highlights: - Unchanged top 3 with Hendinia and Danæviia further extending their national records to 56 (61 non-consecutive) and 18 respectively. - Bøtanikkä and Greenfroze stayed in joint 4th on 16 which extended Greenfroze's national record and matched Bøtanikkä's (previously achieved in BJSCs 125-140); however Trifoski lost their streak after 15. - Within the top 10, Neliönoir and Ajanaeda further extended their national records to 13 and 11 while Kluminican Republic matched their record of 11 in consecutive contests (previously achieved in BJSCs 140-150); their record in non-consecutive contests is 15 (BJSCs 111-115, 117-119 & 122-128). No countries entered the top 10 but Lookylion also lost their streak after 10 which reduced it from a top 10 of 13 countries to a top 10 of 11 countries. - Why So Sirius and Macromia further extended their records to 9 and 5 respectively while Aesthetica reached 6 for the first time after matching their previous record of 5 in the previous contest. ~~~~~~ And getting back up to date: Qualification streak update (underlined nations have matched or beaten their longest streak to date, streaks that are longer when counting non-consecutive participations are in italics where applicable): 01 57 Hendinia (non-consecutive: 62) 02 22 Aeroche 03 19 Danæviia 04 17 Greenfroze 05 14 Neliönoir 06 13 Altyr Muunilinst 06 13 Cor Lupus 08 12 Ajanaeda 08 12 Cumulonimbia 08 12 Kluminican Republic 11 10 Why So Sirius 12 8 Jadakissnia 13 7 Aesthetica 13 7 FARC 13 7 FSR Rontvia 16 5 Land of DW 16 5 Zanmatony 18 4 Lotunia 18 4 République d'Áskorza 18 4 Skall 18 4 Terra Avium 22 3 Kathaldazia 22 3 Mothertopia 22 3 New Lexico 22 3 POPHub 26 2 Aelandor 26 2 Fljótavík 26 2 Pestolia 26 2 Thelonia (non-consecutive: 5) 30 1 A-Konohagakure 30 1 Bronzil 30 1 Cheiron 30 1 Elëdan 30 1 Flynnonda 30 1 Herbilore 30 1 Sandénia 30 1 Suedeonia 30 1 Summericia 30 1 Taahino 30 1 Trifoski 30 1 Utopia xx (16) Bøtanikkä xx (6) Persephonia xx (6) Séyetana xx (5) Baleghde xx (5) Macromia xx (1) Dobago xx (1) Jupiterdonia The podium remains unchanged again with further record extensions from Hendinia to 57 (62 non-consecutive) and Danæviia to 19. Greenfroze now hold the 4th place slot on their own, extending their own record again to 17, after losing the previously tied Trifoski last month and now Bøtanikkä this month who sadly do not get to set a new record after matching their previous record last month (yet - watch this space for BJSC 194 xx). Neliönoir rise into the top 5 and further extend their record to 14. There are also further record extensions for Ajanaeda and Kluminican Republic (in consecutive contests) to 12 each, Why So Sirius to 10 and Aesthetica to 7. Bøtanikkä's departure means the top 10 is now exactly 10 countries again but Why So Sirius ensure the balance of 11 countries with double digit streaks is maintained. Interestingly(?), of the 6 returning nations in this contest, Hushkanukia were the only one who qualified with their last entry, but they're the only one to have not qualified this time! So it's welcome back to both the contest and the final for Elëdan, Sandénia, Suedeonia, Summericia and Utopia, with no non-consecutive streaks being resumed. Hushkanukia had previously been on a non-consecutive streak of 5.

2016 Ariana Grande - Touch It CHVRCHES - Bury It (feat. Hayley Williams) (I normally just pick the 3 songs from last year's list that I most want to see again but taking this one from Jay's list xo) Paradis - Toi Et Moi I'd probably ought to give a listen to some of the songs I don't know that have been nominated for 2016 because it's really not a good year for mainstream music and I'm sure I'd like a lot of the more indie stuff x

+30 The Blacker The Berry +29 Distant Past +28 King Kunta +27 Ocean Drive +26 Magnets +25 Rhymes +24 Alright +23 The Hills +22 Adventure Of A Lifetime +21 Spring / Sun / Winter / Dread +20 Take Me To Church +19 No Reptiles +18 High By The Beach +17 Let It Happen +16 Go +15 Leave A Trace +14 Lazarus +13 One Last Time +12 Blackstar +11 Flesh Without Blood +10 Trap Queen +9 Wildest Dreams +8 Elastic Heart +7 How Deep Is Your Love +6 Broken Flowers +5 Do It Again +4 What Kind Of Man +3 Lean On +2 Run Away With Me +1 Hold Back The River

LOL well I edited that last post to 'at most 3' as I remembered one of them was 2 points off but would have lost a tiebreak... although given I only got one 8 this time I assume it's likely I'd have needed 4 more points to qualify so probably still the furthest I've been off qualifying since Slauson Malone 1 tanking. But why must I keep being so close, if I'm going to flop I'd rather flop more emphatically at least every now and then!! Thanks Doctor B, Jake, Mack, dandy* and Jafet for the remainder of my points x (Also I guess you've decided to just waive a deduction for Baleghde? Not that it makes any difference)

I will vote in this but expect it to be very last minute (what's new x)
