Not a snub. I've always been underwhelmed by Spark (thought the middle 8 is great). It wouldn't even be in my top 50 Tori songs. I didnt intentionally leave it out. It would have been in my commiserations if I had done any.

head is dizzy with the meteoric rise to 32nd place

It is.

Thank you Pestolia :D

I've not had a last place finish yet. This will be a novelty

Thank U is top 5 of 1998 for me and among my top 50 singles of the decade.

^ what they said

.

When is the listen through likely to happen?

There's so much quality in each semi. Not qualifying feels less of a sting when there's so many great songs in your semi.n

Jeez, semi 1 is tough. There's definitely growers that I will regret not voting for :(

WoW73, your discovery was about a month behind mine, I got Little Earthquakes in early December 1993 and was absolutely blown away - Winter and China made me cry. Then Under the Pink came out and I spent months listening to it - particularly the journey that the second half is. It's still in my top 5 albums ever and Winter hasn't left my top 5 singles ever either. Right now it's back at the top.

Not sequenced in any meaningful way. She needs to release a ballads album. @gooddelta

Everyone should check out From the Choirgirl Hotel. Probably her most well rounded album.

I have been considering sending a Tori track for quite a while but I couldn't decide on which one to go with. Spark wasn't one of them but it's a great choice. Excellent video - her best.

Tori Amos shock winner 😃

44 NORWAY 2019 KEiiNO - Spirit In The Sky 6.987% 194,080 / 2,777,620 Anyone who doesn't get that Eurovision feeling when KEiiNO get their televote score should question their morals. Youtue comment: Listening to this: 1st time: oh, it's nice 2nd time: whistling chorus 3rd time: HELOHELOYAAAA

I would assume that Do They Know It's Christmas? did it prior.

It should really have made the top 40 of the year with that 4 week chart run but overall sales increased in September to squeeze out weaker hits from earlier in the year.

Absolute anthem. The rave orchestra hits are euphoric. 10/10 classic for me

Flopping is relative. I've only ever had 3 top 20s.

That Jacob song is gorgeous. It would be a risk to enter it. BJSC doesn't always reward quality.
