Song Contest 35 - Results

Welcome to the results of Song Contest 35!

Before we begin, sign ups are officially open for Song Contest 36

SC36 Entry Deadline:

Sunday 22nd October - 11:59pm GMT

Please check the home page for full details on how to enter.

Reminder: ties are not really shown in any form of order, merely what the program outputs them as. I'll manually edit the final image if there is a tie amongst the top 3 countries, but if it's lower down it will be noted in the text and on the Previously Entered song list.

Reminder: As of now all winners from 20 contests ago (so from SC 16 and earlier) are available to be entered again. This will continue going forwards. This is due to the fact there's a long gap between entries and we get a lot of new people entering, so opening up things seems better.

That said, the same song by the artist is still banned, so be sure to check the song has not been previously entered still.

Unfortunately four countries failed to vote, namely Loompaland, Nowhereville, Princess Peaches Castle and United Kingdom, and all have received a 20 point penalty.

Now... onto the Results

We start off with Hallownest!

All of those who began on negative points have gained points, leaving four countries on zero, and Phyrexia in the early lead, let's check in with one of those zero point countries for their votes! Gothika over to you.

Another twelve for Phyrexia and they are off to a very strong start, in addition only two countries are left on zero points now. Two countries tie for second, but Germanyland is one of them, and they're up next, so let's see what they change!

Germanyland remains near the top, but winds up tied with both Wild Wild West and The Gap In The Map in third. Phyrexia gained no additional points but is still comfortable at the top. Gothika finally moved off the zero point mark and that just leaves Alaria 2.0 who is yet to make a move. United Kingdom also managed to pull themselves out of the negative points area. Let's check in with our current second place, Nowhereland, and see who they've voted for.

Twelve to Wild Wild West moves that up to second, just three points behind Phyrexia! Loompaland move out of the negatives at the bottom end of the field, and Halloween Town have leapt up into third place. Once again however we have our second place country about to give votes, so will things change again?

And again twelve points are given to Phyrexia, and Hallowen Town received ten putting them into second. Nowhereland has dropped to seventh after being in second not too long ago. Alaria 2.0 have also finally got off the starting blocks with two points! But as seems to be a trend for this contest (and purely by chance - ed) it's our second place country giving their points next, so it's over to Halloween Town!

And another twelve puts Phyrexia a solid nineteen points ahead of second place, which is now The Gap In The Map. None of our negative starters have moved over to the left just yet (though has Loompaland have voted they would be in second place right now). We finally break our streak of second place countries giving their points as we now jump over to Alaria 2.0.

Phyrexia receive another twelve, and are just one point shy of being double second place. It's a huge lead, but we still have four countries left to vote, that's a potential 48 points to a country. That means anyone below 15 points cannot win at this stage. But everyone else is still in with a shot. Let's go to Victoria Park and see what they do with their points!

Phyrexia only getting three points there allows a lot of catching up as Halloween Town, Germanyland, and Nowhereland all jump into second, third and fourth respectively. With three to go anyone on 30 points or lower is no longer in the running. At best Hallownest could tie, and then tiebreakers would give the victory to Phyrexia. All above them have a shot however, and it's Phyrexia up next, so we know they aren't receiving points. Let's see who receives their points though.

And now there's a three way tie for second place! It's neck and neck as they chase Phyrexia, with just 17 points separating first from the trio in second it's getting very close at the end. There's a potential twenty four points to be given, so one of those top four will take the victory. It's over to The Gap In The Map next, so let's see if anything changes!

Nowhereland receives twelve points, and Phyrexia only gets three, it's down to just an eight point difference between them both. It's all come down to one of these two countries. Will Nowhereland receive enough points to beat out Phyrexia? It's all down to Poland and who they give their points to...

1st: Phyrexia - S3RL ft Kayliana - You Are Mine

And while Nowhereland did receive eight points, Phyrexia got a final three, meaning with three points in it, Phyrexia are our new winners of the Song Contest! A massive thankyou to all who participated, and regardless of where you finished I'd like to say this was one of my absolute favourite contests musically, with some of the best overall songs placed in it. On an average week I could see any of these songs ending in the top three, but this was a better than average selection of songs to the point I was debating over which had to get cut from getting points, so wherever you finished, thankyou for participating!

Once again, a huge congratulations to our winners, and remember to check the main page for which artists are banned from now on, as winners from song contests older than 20 contests ago are allowed to be re-entered.

As always entries are open for Song Contest 36, so please enter in the usual way, and please be sure to vote if you enter as it does take away from the effort others put in to listen to all of the entries and from the amount of time it takes to edit everything for everyone to enjoy.
