Thank you! ^_^ It sort of is, isn't it? :kink: :wub: I had to google that one, it doesn't seem that bad to me :o HOW red is it exactly?

It's not piggfritt :P Why didn't you wait? :o I don't know if I should be insulted by that :P But I'm 22 and have had my drivers license (and a car!) since summer of 2009 :o

I've had my winter tyres on for a year now :kink: Just in case :lol:

'Some die young' by Laleh was played not long ago!

'Not that kinda girl' is fantastic :wub:

It's 24,4 degrees celsius in my room :drama:

Haha! :lol:

Alright, thanks! ^_^ Yeah, I did. I should definitely listen to the biggest popstars too. You never know, they might come up with some gems or two :kink: It's a good reason why they are so big too, though. Good music and fans like you :D Have you ever been to one of her concerts? Wow. I actually believe that, as Euphoria is genuinely euphoric to listen to, it's truly an unique experience :wub: 100 times is incredible! :o For everyone except Oricon (:kink:) that's quite a lot! Haha :P I hope so too! There are several really good pop songs this time round, not to mention everything else, so for me at least Rebecca Stella got a bit lost in the crowd. Might be :kink: I may be liking this song a bit more than everything else from her. Need to give it a few more listens! Sweden have so many genius pop talents I don't know where to start! The lyrics grabbed me the most (and lyrics are usually a smaller part of what I enjoy in music), and mixed with some nice melodies there's no way I wasn't going to like it :D Have you seen that video of her that lasts for.. I don't know.. perhaps one hour (and a half?) where she sort of tells a story with a lot of her music while she moves in a house to a car and into the woods and a lot of bizarre, creative and artistic things are happening. It was all VERY fascinating to watch. I think they planned everything and then did it all live (with a way to watch it all later, which I did). That's when I understood she was something REALLY special. I guess you're right, but I still want 2NE1 with a heavier edge :kink: I don't know about that.. as tt's far from the best thing in K-Pop.. well, for me, but that's probably because I've heard so much. It sort of is, but sort of isn't. I'm not that emotionally connected to this subject anymore, but it was a powerful reminder nontheless. I loved her previous album, but when I heard Fear & Loathing I became unsure. I'm more sure about it now, though. That song isn't particuarly a good representation of the album, it seems! I know, right! Well.. if you do decide to enter it at some point, you'd probably get my support ^_^ Oh yeah I naturally watched the first semi final yesterday, and there were a LOT of songs I liked! La la la love being one of my favourites so far. Addicted to it at the moment :wub: Do you have Last.fm? My pleasure! That's partly why I don't respond to a lot of personal charts, as I like to take my time and review everything ^_^

Oh, I want to make one too! I'll do one very soon, then! :o Need to defend my predicta crown from last month :kink:

Hello there, Eyes! ^_^ I know I said I'd do this last week, and I didn't forget it either.. it was more of a "I'll do it right after this. And this. And this." And I never came round to do it somehow :drama: But I'm here now in time for this edition of your chart, so I hope that's something :drama: At least you'll find it a tiny bit interesting! Now for my review! The songs in bold are songs that I've discovered through your chart! :cheer: 1. [1] Where Have You Been - Rihanna (4 - 4 - 8 - 10 - 12 - 11 - 18 - 47 - x - 10 - 15 - 11 - 14 - 12 - 17 - 13 - 6 - 1 - 1 - 1) [19wks] - YES, this one is bolded! You've just made me realise how little I pay attention to the biggest stars around at the moment. I'm too consistent in living in my own, personal music bubble! :o B-) But Rihanna is a bit off and on for me regardless. She can make glorious perfomances ('We found love', 'S&M' and 'Love the way you lie' :wub: ) and odd fillers ('What's my name' and 'Shut up and drive'). This one is somewhere in between that; it's great, stompy and positively energetic, but at the same time somewhat completely uninteresting. FABULOUS music video, though! 2. [4] Euphoria - Loreen (2 - 3 - 4 - 3 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 2 - 4 - 2) [16wks] - Wow, it's still here :wub: I gave this one a pause, just in case I'd get tired of it. I don't think that's even possible, though, but it is just SO perfect I need to enjoy it in small, rare doses :lol: :D 4. [11] Bubblegum Bitch - Marina & The Diamonds (11 - 4) [2wks] 6. [7] Sparks - Cover Drive (57 - 4 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 6 - 7 - 6) [10wks] 7. [2] Sign In, Dream On, Drop Out - Poppy & The Jezebels (3 - 2 - 7) [3wks] - As I said, this is a great entry! Different from what you usually send, and I may or may not have ended up giving it some points! 8. [10] Hyperventilating - Ronya (29 - 11 - 14 - 10 - 12 - 10 - 8) [7wks] - I think this will win! It's the perfect crossover track. But it's also brilliant! 9. [8] Only The Horses - Scissor Sisters (24 - 11 - 2 - 5 - 8 - 9) [6wks] 10. [25] Emmylou - First Aid Kit (25 - 10) [2wks] 11. [--] Swallow My Bullet - Porcelain Black (11) [1wk] 12. [--] Miss You Paradise - Emma Hewitt (12) [1wk] 13. [6] Every Night I Say A Prayer - Little Boots (7 - 6 - 13) [3wks] - This reminds me of the younger Madonna for some reason. 15. [30] National Anthem - Lana Del Rey (72 - x - 35 - 20 - 25 - 30 - 15) [6wks] - Good! Strangely classy! 18. [9] Don’t Go - Rae Morris (25 - 11 - 11 - 9 - 18) [5wks] 19. [45] 110% - Jessie Ware (45 - 19) [2wks] 20. [27] Drive By - Train (31 - 35 - 27 - 20) [4wks] 22. [--] Stay In This Moment - Alex Saidac (22) [1wk] - WHAT a fantastic pop song! :dance: 23. [--] Tabu - Timoteij (23) [1wk] - I think they have yet to make a song that I don't like! This is great, and very Timoteij too! Albeit a bit more electronic and beat-y than usual. Hah! And a dubstep breakdown. Didn't see that one coming :P 24. [14] Primadonna - Marina & The Diamonds (2 - 6 - 11 - 18 - 27 - 18 - 24 - 14 - 24) [9wks] 25. [12] Why Start A Fire? - Lisa Miskovsky (47 - 53 - x - 19 - 12 - 25) [5wks] 26. [25] The Lion’s Roar - First Aid Kit (25 - 26) [2wks] 27. [44] Maailman Toisella Puolen - Haloo Helsinki (44 - 27) [2wks] - Light and nice ^_^ 28. [20] Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen (30 - 23 - 28 - 34 - 47 - 38 - 63 - x - 10 - 20 - 26 - 26 - 16 - 20 - 28) [14wks] - Wow, it's still here! :o 29. [21] Homewrecker - Marina & The Diamonds (21 - 29) [2wks] - She is so good, I always love her lyrics! This I really like :D 30. [54] Neon - Queen Of Hearts (54 - 30) [2wks] 31. [--] Too Close - Alex Clare (31) [1wk] 32. [41] My Sincerest Apologies - KIDS (21 - 27 - 41 - 32) [4wks] - I liked this song. Very much, actually. Definitely one of my favourites in UP IX! :o 33. [29] Silhouettes - Avicii ft. Salem El Fakir (29 - 33) [2wks] 34. [--] sever - iamamiwhoami (34) [1wk] - She is so creative and artistic. Quite fascinating, really. 36. [26] Scream - 2NE1 (22 - 26 - 36) [3wks] - I wish they'd scream a lot more in the screaming part, but other than that it's a very workable track, although it's a bit too.. soft for 2NE1 I must admit. I expected some more power and edge from them. 37. [36] drops - iamamiwhoami (31 - 36 - 37) [3wks] - Even better! Wow.. just.. wow.. 40. [18] Crystallize - Lindsey Stirling (36 - 25 - 13 - 18 - 40) [5wks] 41. [--] My Kind Of Love - Emeli Sandé (41) [1wk] - Emotional song! I've been through cancer myself, so it was a powerful reminder to how other people may have experienced the situation. 43. [--] Breaking My Fall - Bressie (43) [1wk] - My kind of production. I love that intro! 44. [66] Can’t Keep Up - Silhouette (55 - 66 - 44) [3wks] 45. [73] Hypocrates - Marina & The Diamonds (73 - 45) [2wks] 47. [--] Explode - Cover Drive (47) [1wk] 48. [39] Power And Control - Marina & The Diamonds (39 - 48) [2wks] - Okay, fine! I am buying this album now! 49. [51] 212 - Azealia Banks (16 - 9 - 11 - 19 - 12 - 3 - 4 - 6 - 13 - 26 - 28 - 44 - x - 35 - 27 - 20 - 16 - 10 - 15 - 29 - 51 - 57 - 49) [22wks] Longest Runner 50. [--] Alice - Linnea Henriksson (50) [1wk] 51. [35] Little Talks - Of Monsters And Men (29 - 27 - 44 - x - 53 - 35 - 51) [6wks] 52. [28] Zaleilah - Mandinga (21 - 8 - 9 - 19 - 28 - 45 - 39 - 28 - 52) [8wks] 53. [67] R.I.P ft. Tinie Tempah - Rita Ora (70 - 53 - 42 - 54 - 69 - 67 - 53) [7wks] - This is somewhat typically UK, isn't it? I like this one! 54. [22] Imagine - Tone Damli ft. Eric Saade (55 - 15 - 22 - 54) [4wks] 55. [58] good worker - iamamiwhoami (63 - 58 - 55) [3wks] 57. [RE] Stay - Tooji (21 - 15 - 11 - 14 - 26 - 39 - 44 - 73 - x - 57) [9wks] 58. [50] Better For Me - Storm Calysta/The Rare Breed (50 - 50 - 58) [3wks] - Lights feat. Avicii, right? :lol: This is just like that. Which means I'm going to like it, and I do! :D Catchy, fun and cool! No, I'm starting to love it, in fact. I need to listen to this some more now.. 60. [--] Die From A Broken Heart - Bimbo Boy; Chart Music (60) [1wk] 62. [--] Bangarang - Skrillex (62) [1wk] 63. [71] Tekkno Scene - Elliphant (71 - 63) [2wks] 64. [34] Body Work - Morgan Page ft. Tegan and Sara (14 - 6 - 8 - 20 - 34 - 64) [6wks] 65. [61] Masterpiece - Madonna (69 - 54 - x - 42 - 33 - 61 - 65) [6wks] 66. [47] All The Rowboats - Regina Spektor (64 - 31 - 17 - 19 - 34 - 47 - 66) [7wks] 67. [--] Headphones - Cover Drive (67) [1wk] - So incredibly lovely! ^_^ 68.

Zoe Johnston (74) [1wk] In case you're wondering; I delibirately scrapped the ESC entries from your list, because I don't listen to them in full before their perfomances, so I always end up charting them after the shows. Great chart this time too, though :cheer: I made a whole bunch of new discoveries! :wub:

I'm saying this again! Because I have FINALLY somehow managed to send in my votes! :wub: :cry:

Sort of off topic, but Bimbo Boy just gave me a shout on Last.Fm, in Swedish thanking me for listening to his song! :o He probably does that to many other people as well, though, but it's my first artist "tweet" so I think it's big :D

Hi Rich! I finally got round to listening to 'Believe again' by Delta Goodrem (because I had to :kink: ) and I really like it. I don't love it, BUT I definitely see what that is that makes you love it so much. It's special. @1 - I know, it's incredible! :o I never expected to love their album as much as I have done, but it's so superb! :wub: @4 - I noticed your comment on it during the results show, I also (obviously) think it's a great pop song, and even though I'm very happy just to make it through to the final, something about it made me to believe it would do a lot better. How our love for certain musical creations can cloude our judgement :( I still love it though :wub: Wow, you liked a lot that week! Thanks for commenting again! :D

Good evening, Eyes! *takes off my hat in a very polite manner* @1 - Yes, it is. I've really wanted to send something different for a while now, but haven't found anything different worth sending. I finally found one and immidiately confirmed it! :wub: And I'm quite happy to have made it to the final, which is so strong as well. It's almost a privilege! :D I like your song too, btw! I rated it 9- on my first impression of it, so I'm interested to see how much points I'm giving it in the end! :kink: ^_^ @2 - Based on my other entries in Unknown Pleasures, I think - when you finally find out - that this entry sounds a bit like the UP me ^_^ @5 - It's such an energetic number it seems easy to get mentally tired by it pretty quickly, so I sort of see what you mean. I recommend 'Heart to heart' by them too, if you haven't heard it already. @10 - It's really great, and probably my favourite song from them. Well.. that and 'Fire with fire' :D Thanks again for commenting, I should be able to review your chart too this week. Either today or tomorrow; which day do you usually post a new personal chart? :unsure:

Wow, that's amazing! :o They must be something really special to you, then. A 10/10 for me is something so PERFECT and LIFE ENHANCING as it can get!

I honestly can't believe how SUBLIME this final is! :wub: There are so many 8/10 and 9/10 moments in here, and I want to give points to at least 20 entries! :o I am seriously having a HARD TIME finding out what my final 10 should be, and in what order. I don't think I've ever struggled this much since I entered for the first time! *sigh*

If it's unexpected, then I think maybe Séyetana might be that winner, but it's only after 10 votes anyway, so a lot of things can change!

THIS :wub:

That is very good! Despite the said high quality, overall we did a great job predicting! :D And wow at no one predicted Keypopian Republic to qualify :o I always knew it would make it :kink: Thanks for doing this, Ryan!

Even if Tooji offered you? :kink: And he said that this was his first and last offer :o

:kink: I remember seeing his music video. It was fun, and the cover was alright.. but I felt he didn't 'respect' the song. Donkeyboy sort of deserved whatever success he gained from that. Edit: Oh so his names was Joe McELDERRY! Up until this point I always remembered his name as Joey McELDERLY - which I automatically thought was a horrid name :(

Of all of my entries I guess it's safe to mention Donkeyboy with 'Ambitions' :wub: Didn't some random UK guy cover that at some point too? :lol:
