Not bad not bad x I need Cody to just treat every month like it's Halloween as it brings out the best in you x

Managing to qualify through a 33% deduction doesn't seem to carry as much clout as you might expect x (I did feel FARC were being quite heavily overpredicted but then I can never really tell with the pure pop songs) manifest top 15 *.*

Sovarasma and Séyetana both just missed out on my votes but could maybe have eventually climbed in if I listened a few more times - these placements about right for them x

I have never bought the Kinsley hype at all but admittedly even I would probably have predicted her to be a bit higher than 19th. (not to forget that 'Fleeting' was actually sent to the end of year PFSC Special contest in January and "only" came 9th!)

Sawree I didn't vote for Kalandra in the end (they did get points from me in the semi but other songs grew on me more) - still another solid result for Ennea x

Good news - Freidland with a new peak for their best entry to date for me yay Bad news - still just barely not top 20, the tease for them continues...! Pagasa should have been higher but still justice for Eldritch Anisette x (hooray for me securing a continuation of my top 20 or bust run *.* that's all I was really hoping for so I'll be pleasantly surprised if I survive another post x)

POPHub only 30th is crazy. (Lookylion defo deserved better too aw)

Genuinely quite gutted at Grouper being so low as I thought that had a chance of having enough strong niche appeal to maybe be a new peak for New Helvz - one of my best discoveries of the year anyway so thanks Julian, I need to make sure to revisit it when I need a dose of anti-anxiety x The Daehun and Yehesi songs were both fun too, liked them more than the two higher finishing K-Pop songs oop

Would have liked to see Ellie a bit higher as it was a good nostalgia trip for when she was actually good back in the day but admittedly maybe not the best song Harry could have picked for her, at least it qualified anyway x *.* I knew I remembered the lion saying 'warm!' and it containing some kind of foodstuff but wasn't 100% on what that was. Thank you Wayback x

I feel like Joop was one of the first people to ever post the phrase 'MUNA-esque' so that's fitting

O'Flynn got his qualifier after the tragedy of 'Desmond's Empire', but at what cost x Not enough of you still buying sweets from Spar Leam Spa :'(

I'm sure Taahino should be doing a fair bit better next month x (wow what an excellently drawn wooden spoon, wonder who made that)

It might just be a good match for last place x

I will make sure to force Nelly to post the remaining voting PMs at the end x (also omg my result about to be revealed!)

Well so far it looks entirely possible that either one of my faves or one of my least faves will win indeed. Although the song currently leading is neither of those. x

They're calling my votes "the most unreadable votes ever submitted" 😮

Thanks Mikey! Glad you were able to vote this time x

Ok my headcanon now is that everyone else just forgot to vote for Grouper too.

Thank you elgornio! It was a different song tbf (but very similar in style I'd say so point still applies x)

Ironic considering the last time there was wide discussion of what does and doesn't constitute a pop entry there were people trying to claim Haute & Freddy were indie x

Just checked and these were my first points from Daehun since BJSC 120 *.* (mildly less impressive than it sounds as this is only the 10th time they've entered since then but still x) Herbibore top 10 alert! Really hope they can hold that.

Thanks Yu <3 (only stopped from your 18 by the 4 pesky real K-Pop songs xo) edit: the 3 K-Pop songs besides your own + Greenfroze even x

PersepBet stocks on the rise with Bronzil leaping up! It's me, hi, I'm the pop bloc, it's me x

Harmonica commiserating Daehun just like the olden days <3 (is the lions and cinnamon rolls lore calling back to your original country flag as well? I don't think I have the image saved anywhere to refer back to oop but it's ringing a bell xo) Thank you for the cinnamon rolls, they will be distributed as rations to our imprisoned girls x

It would appear those points actually went to "Herbliore" so we can't count them to your tally unforch :'(
