It's a great time to be a pop fan! PJSC 58 winner Lizzo just put the sing in #1 single, PJSC 5 winner Tove Lo is mere weeks away from releasing her fourth album, and I'm hosting the main PJSC for the first time.
What are the rules?
Copy-pasted from the last thread:
Popjustice Song contest is a music contest focused on discovering new music, each participant picks a song by a lesser known artist or new discovery and pits this song against other unknown or new songs.
The song you have chosen should be submitted to the host of the contest during the submission period, during this time the veto panel will score your song out of 100 (0 being instant veto, 100 being no issues) if it averages 50+ then it will be accepted into the contest. See veto guidelines here and previously entered songs here.
After the song list is revealed you have a period of time where you are able to submit your votes, you should vote using the traditional Eurovision style points system (12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) with the top marks going to your favorite, and 1 going to your 10th favorite, and remember you cannot vote for your own entry.
What's the theme?
I live in Los Angeles and the stereotypes are true, people take astrology extremely seriously out here. Truth be told I don’t even believe in it, but I’ve sat through enough conversations about Leo season and Mercury in retrograde to pick up the basics.
So for our theme, I’m gonna take the date each song was released to determine each song’s zodiac sign. (If you know the day it was released, feel free to send it in; otherwise I’ll just go with what Discogs and iTunes tell me.) Then during the reveals we’ll track each zodiac sign’s results. Will your song be the best scoring Capricorn entry? Will a water sign top the charts, or it will be an earth sign? Why is a scorpion considered a water sign and not an earth sign? We just don’t know!
Submit your song here!
Submission period: September 3rd to September 12th (23:59 GMT)
Voting period: September 13th to September 29th (23:59 GMT)
Reveals: September 30th
Current time GMT: here
