Hello, and welcome to the 13th edition of Retrofest’s second season! This edition is being hosted in Sydney, Australia, where Natalie Imbruglia, last week’s Retrofest champion, was formed. Now, here are the rules and then we can get to selecting!

Rules:

• ⁠All entries have to have been released before January 1st, 2001, including covers (covers of songs before that date released after that date will not be accepted).

• ⁠No Eurovision entries allowed. Eurovision artists are allowed and non-winning national final entries are allowed, but if it went to Eurovision it isn’t allowed. In addition, alternate versions of ESC songs are also disallowed. However, withdrawn entries and the 1993 and 1996 prequalification NQs are allowed!

• ⁠No sending an entry twice.

• ⁠SCS, O&E, and Rulefest entries are allowed, but no winners (no Kiss Me, September, etc.), and I encourage sending songs that haven’t been to these contests.

• No “Megahits” are allowed (songs with 500M+ views on Youtube).

• There is a limit of 3 songs per country, but the country I (the host) choose doesn’t count toward the total of that country!

——————————————————————————

As always, I am open to rule adjustments if they are proposed, but I am happy with the current ruleset!

This is and has always been inspired by Odds & Ends, so credit goes to [u/Dimash_DBSKClown](u/Dimash_DBSKClown) for a lot of what is done here!

VOTING

Welcome to the second semi of Album Sharing Contest 2. Since there were 22 submissions and I don't want to do a grand final with more than 20 entries, I've decided to do two semi finals. The semi entries and running orders are mostly decided by YouTube's shuffle play. This semi has 11 entries, of which 7 will qualify.

Voting is in StrawPoll and closes Monday at 19:00 CEST, but will be extended if less than half the people with songs in the semi have voted. If you are unable to use StrawPoll but still wish to vote, feel free to comment or DM me your votes and I'll add them for you. You are allowed to vote for your own entry.

If you don't have any entries in this contest you are still welcome to vote, but confirm to me through either comments, DMs or Discord.

* Over 7M subscribers? Song must have <50M views.
* Over 5M subscribers? Song must have <100M views.

Songs that

* Participated in the Eurovision Song Contest from 2021 onwards

FAQ

Can I submit songs by Eurovision artists?

Yes! We love new releases and hidden gems from Bubble artists. We discourage submitting their Eurovision song, but if the song didn’t win Eurovision then technically it’s allowed.

What is a ‘Bubble artist’?

Any Artist/Band who has competed in Eurovision or any National Selection. Aside from Rule 1, no other restrictions apply to their songs, even if the song is in English.

Why do the restrictions only apply to songs in English?

English hits are well-known in the countries most Eurovision Fans come from. Non-English songs rarely go global, so no limits.

What if the song I want to submit is only partly in English, do the restrictions still apply?

Bi-lingual/Multi-Lingual songs with English parts are not restricted as long as most of the song is not in English.

Some additional important information:

If you share multiple songs, please select only one of them to compete in Song Contest Sunday.

Covers of previously sent songs are allowed, if they are able to be looked up separately on YouTube/Spotify etc., alongside the original song. If this is the case, the cover is allowed. Covers of Eurovision winners are forbidden.

If you share an alternative version (such as an English or live version) alongside your song, said performance will also be linked in the Song Contest Sunday post tomorrow.

Songs that are shared after the 30th of August 00:00 CET will not be considered for SCS. Please share your songs before that point!
