Song Contest 52 - Results

Welcome to the results of Song Contest 52!

Before we begin, sign ups are officially open for Song Contest 53.

SC53 Entry Deadline:

Sunday 14th September - 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.

Before we get into the results, two countries failed to vote. Norway and Phyrexia therefore will receive -20 points and if we get more than 26 entries in the next contest, will also be barred from entering it.

That said, it's time to get straight into the results with United States!

Early big points go to Phyrexia. Will they be the first country to not vote and still win? They have a long way to go, but let's check with Alaria!

The Back of the Room take the lead there, while Phyrexia and Norway are both on minus six points. Let's check in with Beastville.

Germanyland now take the lead, but it's only by a single point. Phyrexia have got themselves into the positive already, but Norway stay far back in the negatives. Let's see who Bearville vote for.

The Back of the Room return to first place, and Norway make it above zero. It's still all to play for as we go to Germanyland, our current second place, to see their results.

The Back of the Room remain in first, but United States close the gap considerably. We're at the halfway point now with five countries still to vote (we have a bonus country voting this time). Let's see how NUSA start our second half.

Twelve points go to Norway, but it doesn't change much for them. The seven points to United States push them into first however. But let's see what our surprise voter, Poland, will do to things.

And that twelve puts The Back of the Room back into the lead. Interestingly this was the only vote that can have a country not receiving points, and unfortunately for Norway, they were the one failing to pick up points here. Interestingly all countries are still in the running except Phyrexia, as while thirty six points is the maximum any country can receive, a minimum of one point must go to every other country. Let's see if The Back of the Room stay in first as they give their points.

And they do not, Beastville gain twelve points and leap over them into first place. While The Back of the Room and United States tie for second. Y Ty Neidr, our fourth place, is up to give the penultimate results.

Another twelve to Beastville push them into a solid first place with a six point lead. With all countries gaining points it's unlikely they will fall back, but it's possible for any of the top three to win. It's over to Hallownest for our final results.

1st: Battle Beast - King For A Day

And Beastville take a very deserved victory with a fifteen point lead in the end!

The Back of the Room take second, after ties are broken, leaving United States in third.

The tie between Phyrexia and Norway is also broken with Norway beating out Phrexia by way of Norway receiving two twelve point votes and Phyrexia only receiving one.

A very interesting, and divisive contest this time around. A fair amount of songs seemed to get high points or low points and not a great deal in between.

Thankyou to all who entered, and I hope to see you all back for the next one.

Be sure to check the main page for which artists are banned.

As always entries are open for the next Song Contest, 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.
