Thanks Sutton Coldfield for :1: and Scotland for :2:

Sorry Gary it was only 1 point for Kylie. That feels insulting after that fabulous Lolly 10. I genuinely enjoyed pretty much every performance in this spin-off though so it was getting tricky handing out the points. I will seek baby Jesus immediately

Wishing it was Bergen
Thanks for the amazing fun, and you being Hesse is literally the perfect ending for this spinoff!

Very happy with my 2nd place although I do feel a bit scorewhorey ;)

That's okay - it was a quality selection! Can't believe the Minogue sisters ended up with the same points - what are the chances?? :lol:

Thanks :nl: for :3: - and massive massive congratulations to @FabiESC for the convincing win, leading pretty much the whole way, and well-deserved too as my :12: xclap There's a beautiful symbiosis with you winning this spin-off having waited so long to have it - and your hosting and presentation has been spot on, bravo! xyaay

Thanks for all the points for this beautiful Kylie hit - Spinning Around got all the headlines from the "Light Years" album, but this second single was without a doubt the highlight for me, and the fact my Norwegian babies KEiiNO chose to cover it as well just shows that it is right in my heart forever xlove

:12: :au: xheart
:8: Swindon xheart
:7: Hesse xheart
:4: :fr: xheart
:3: :ca: :de: :nl: xheart
:2: :sc: xheart
:1: :it: Sutton Coldfield

Yaaay how iconic to win the spin-off theme you've been fighting to get us for years, Fabi! I'm so happy for you. Such a classic from Culture Beat! :cool:

Thank you for all the points given to Lolly's Viva La Radio. It's one of my earliest pop memories. It's just so sugary and infectious. I still get hyped whenever I hear it.

Originally I was going to send Anastacia with Paid My Dues, the song and performance that made me become an overnight super fan. I went to the shop with my pocket money the next day to buy her Freak of Nature album and the rest was history. I realised though it was exactly 100 editions since I sent Anastacia to the main game so wanted to mark that anniversary with round two for her there instead.



And a big thank you of course Fabi for giving us a fabulous show! It really was great spin-off. I hope one day we'll see Top of The Pops part 2 xheat

Also, I genuinely considered sending the :nl: and :it: songs instead - shoulda maybe done that for a better result haha! Plus Celine Dion was my initial thought, but with a different song..... Maybe she might show up if another theme permits in the future (or TOTP pt 2 like Kai suggests xpray )

A Bridge Too Far
Superb results really. I mean I knew going in it was a bit of a scorewhore play to send 2 Unlimited, but when I looked at it I felt that wonderful wispy feeling of nostalgia and you all know how strong that mist can settle on the mind. I thought I should probably come like top 5 with it given the field and yeah 3rd is cool, is a podium. Fabi wins, real classic, great performance, gave it 8 points, logical. DonHamstre proves the concept of Alizee being a potential winner with J'en Ai Marre, while simultaneously ruining the chances of it getting sent to main show for the foreseeable future as it would seem like a scorewhore play. Such times.

Fabi, thank you for hosting the thing, I was happy to see that it did turn out to be an enjoyable show and that your eternal quest to get this one through the ballot was justified. I mean there's a good list of entries that one could potentially send but the limit is that it must have done very well commercially. People might think that is boring, but it's still us as people doing the picking and we will always try to be a bit creative with that. It's not like you get 15x Bieber. No, you basically get a very nice collage of whatever the pop scene looked like.

Great winner congrats Fabi!

This was a great line up of songs and a joy to listen to, it was hard to form a top 10 that did everyone justice. Thanks for hosting also Fabi, you clearly put a lot of your own passion into it, and it's nice to see your theme won.

Thank you for 5th! Very pleased with that, especially the elite 12 I got. xheat
