Where's the PE class impact xo

Thank you Mack

Off to a solid start hooray, thanks Scene!

Probably much too late to be of use to anyone but here's a YouTube playlist as no one posted one yet x

Am going to start a relisten in just a min so my votes will be in soon x (multitasking with BJSC results oop)

I will give my last minute energy to Cumulonimbia

It is exciting to have a results show where it seems absolutely no one knows who's going to win (except me, I know that I'm winning xx). In all seriousness I hope this should at least be a better result for me than the last handful of contests and I'll just hope the winner ends up being one of the ~2 or 3 songs that have been named as contenders that I actually voted for xx

The sneak was Rob not mentioning me despite the fact I am obviously winning x

This is the energy we need

I will note that one of said countries I rarely receive points from (and by rarely I mean have never received a single point from) is a certain Herbilore.

The best evidence I can give is that Cor Lupus still do well all the time despite annoying everyone xx (love you Cody)

I really don't see what reason anyone would have to not vote for you specifically. There are plenty of countries that I rarely ever give points to or receive points from, it's just down to taste and a little bit of luck. Remember you can only vote for 15 out of 40-42 songs (a higher proportion in the semi but also half the time any given country won't be able to vote for you in the semi at all even if they wanted to).

Voted have been quite generous with the commiserations again x (and as per usual several of the songs most talked up as winners are among them)

I like Chris' predictions the most x

Well Tame Impala both gained and lost the 'one hit wonder' tag over the span of 3 weeks technically (taking the definition of 'one hit wonder' as being one top 40 hit which is the specification in the Bop Idol contest I was referring to).

Was slightly before my time but it was Leonville and Camtoro (and then later Fortunia and Mykanovia, who were found out partway through a contest and both got disqualified just before the semi-final results, the former would actually have won the semi otherwise!) I'm not sure if Leonville/Camtoro were actually formally banned or if they just quietly slipped away with their aliasdom just being an open secret.

And again it was also charting in the week of my birthday in its original run although way off making an earlier appearance on the list (was #66 for my 9th birthday). Great addition *.* If the pattern continues, #30 this time next year will be something that appeared somewhere low down the chart of the week of my birth... I see 'Born Slippy' sneaking a re-entry in that week so rooting for that to make a random resurgence next year xo

It's gone on Spotify for me now as well. Kind of expecting any day to see Jorja Smith's label put out an official version of the song with suspiciously identical production.

'Cheap Hotel' by FKA twigs is at #76 on Apple Music! Is she about to lose her one hit wonder status while being in the one hit wonders edition of Bop Idol

I just got to the Grand Master rank today too (impakt of celebrating 'Berghain' going top 40). Wonder how many people have achieved this now x

Never being vetoed is a good thing though x

I still need to do a second listen to finalise my votes but I think this contest has definitely provided my strongest top 10 in one of these to date - may just be that the previous theme choices weren't the most conducive to pandering to my taste (and this edition having the most entries to date helps) but I've easily got more than 10 songs I want to vote for here which I'm not sure has really been the case for any of the previous editions. I'm already holding my L and assuming I'll be coming last but it's ok, as long as it doesn't get 0 x

great minds x

You're off by a factor of 10 there, unless you just missed out a 0 x There was a BJSC Wiki before indeed but I'm pretty sure large parts of it got heavily vandalised lol
