:? Did not expect it to be that big of a margin. I definitely feel like I have a lot more songs that I love this year but I guess there also is a loooot more songs that just pass me by or I straight up dislike.

Close race, but 2019 wins and if Ukraine was there still it would've been 23. So thats good I believe. Some close ones are there though.

I don't know why people keep saying this is a weak year. IMO, it's one of the best in recent history.

I still prefer this year in overall quality, but the internal selection have really brought down the quality this year.

I know I'll probably get called out for rating Russia 2018 better than Russia 2019.....but I kinda liked the studio version of I Won't Break. :p

Looking at it this way, 2019 is really tragic xshrug , although some of these are kinda close to me like :pl: and :am: for instance , some are close (but doesn't mean they are good in any shape or form) like :ru: and :ro: for instance... so if I'd only keep entries I actually enjoy (at least partly), then 2018 would probably still win with a landslide, but it could be slightly closer.

However the margin is much bigger in the comparisons where 2018 wins.

draw: 7

I expected things to be even more in favour of 2018. The most important is still quality in general - in 2018, I liked about 25-30 entries, this year it is more like 15-20. But things can still grow. :)
