Round 1: Year End Survivor No. 95
That atrocious Cascada cover can get in the bin.

The Final : Year End Survivor No.94
James Blunt is a bit too MOR and depressing for me so Kate Winslet, it's a shame she's disowned it as it's a really lovely wintery ballad and sung surprisingly well.

Biggest omission of course is my first top 3 hit, I've Been Secretly Falling Apart, still not made it's way to Spotify </3

Well, the indie semi's a lot of fun x Votes in, was quite painful cutting that down in the end, had three songs I really wanted to vote for that I'm hoping will still be OK.

Your BJSC Debut
My debut was 12 (!) years ago now in BJSC 42 with Kaskade feat. Skylar Grey - Room for Happiness uSmj-Qc9uDk I still quite like it and rank it quite highly amongst my early entries, it's fairly basic dance pop and I wouldn't really send anything like it these days, I was more trying to gauge the styles of BJSC, but Skylar's got some great vocals and the production is quite immersive. Compared to the rest of my year, I honestly lucked out even though I only finished 28th/29 compared to the rest of my next eleven entries which were utterly disastrous with three last places and eight DNQs (seven consecutive), took me until my 12th contest before I reached the dizzy heights of 21st/30! To those new people disheartened by flopping, believe me I have felt your pain x

Round 8 : Year End Survivor No.94
Umbrella as a Kate Winslet-James Blunt final two would certainly not be what I expect from Buzzjack! :lol:

Eevee evolution survivor ● ROUND 4
I wouldn't normally go for the OGs early, but Flareon is so weak compared to the other two and looks nowhere near as cool. Going for Espeon as it pales next to Umbreon and I do like Glaceon's design.

US Hot 100 #1s: Best & Worst / Week 3
Best The Animals - The House Of The Rising Sun Barry McGuire - Eve Of Destruction The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations The Beatles - Yesterday The Rolling Stones - Paint It, Black Incredibly tough, The Sound of Silence, Downtown, My Girl, You Keep Me Hangin' On, Mr Tambourine Man and Sunshine Superman all would've made it most weeks. Worst Herman's Hermits - Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter Johnny Rivers - Poor Side Of Town SSgt Barry Sadler - The Ballad Of The Green Berets A pro-Vietnam song was always gonna be an easy pick and Mrs Brown... had dodgy vocals, Johnny Rivers just left very little impression on me but not bad at all.

⚙ Taahino CLXVIII : Collective Division
Well thank God, literally a dream vs a nightmare semi draw for my song. Pleased to be with the two people that charted this song! (genuinely never knew this as I haven't ventured in Personal Charts for a while, but I was thinking it had Kathalnimbia vibes x)

The future of flexible working
I'm student facing in education so working from home is a distant memory outside of a few one-off days, though the option is always there in exceptional circumstances. We do have a system though where we work right through the day without a lunch break for four days a week and use the time to have an early day where we finish at 1pm, it's really nice to have that time to relax.

Mango's Chart Quiz: SONG PICTIONARY: THE RESULTS
Hooray I got #16 correct! I was sure it was Village People but I'm not as well versed with a compass so it was a guess based on the fact they were going somewhere. Rolling in the Deep took me a while, but that is pretty genius x

The Rolling Stones Rate
Votes sent, my 25 is gonna bomb but I have to support it (and a handful of their other classics which will likely do much better x) Gutted I couldn't give a nominations shout to You Can't Always Get What You Want, an essential </3

Mango's Chart Quiz: SONG PICTIONARY: THE RESULTS
Ahh so that's what #6 was, the only one I had literally no idea, I had the same problem as others that that looked like a chest rather than a box and it didn't look black, blame AI xx Took me so long to get Coldplay from that image and I got the wrong song oops (much as I'd love to claim that point, I should be on half x) I said #3 would be the most guessed, that was literally the first one I got and thought it would fit the demographic better than Police. Didn't anticipate people not knowing their primates -_- That girl's arm on the Push the Button picture :x
