Part I of the final edition features the songs ranked #10 - #6 on the chart and kicks off with a Colombian TISC silver medalist, whose score of 228 points remains the 3rd highest scoring points total in the history of the contest. At #9 on the chart is a TISC silver medalist from Great Britain which is the highest ranked non-winner from all TISC Annual contests. The chart then continues with a trio of TISC champions, featuring the inaugural TISC Annual champion from Germany at #8, the first TISC female solo winner from Denmark at #7, and the song that handed Ireland their 3rd victory at the contest at #6..... 10 Shakira - Whenever, Wherever 9 George Ezra - Listen To The Man 8 Adel Tawil - Lieder 7 Tino Dickow - Sacre Coeur 6 The Corrs - Runaway

No more than 4.

Sorry I didn’t get a chance to post the final part of the Top 40 chart today. I will try to get round to that tomorrow evening.

I'd be bigly worried indeed! His conferences everyday are the same....we are doing the best in the world at fighting this invisible enemy, our economy will bounce back so fast and so hard like no one has ever seen.... and so on.

And that was breaking news just in from @heywoodu

Many countries are clearly not testing enough as the numbers are not exploding as they are practically everywhere else. Japan's figures are the biggest joke of all

Very handy in every sense of the word

Totallympics International Song Contest - Top 40 Chart Part II of today's TISC Top 40 edition features the songs with PPJ averages ranked #25 - #21 in the All-Time list.

Our hotel rooms in Rijeka will have customary wake-up calls....

Well you are voting at 11:48... is that reasonable for you?

Totallympics International Song Contest - Top 40 Chart We continue the Top 40 countdown now and today's edition features the songs ranked 30th - 21st on the All-Time Points-Per-Jury list. Part I (Positions #30 - 26), Part II (Positions #25 - #21). The title of # 29 pretty much sums up these strange times that we are living through. Hopefully we can all take some time out from the madness now and remember some TISC greats, which includes the TISC Annual winner from 2018 at #26 on the chart.... 30 Michael Bublé - Close Your Eyes 29 Within Temptation - Mad World 28 Peter Aristone - Sunlight 27 Bea Palya - Szabadon 26 Takagi & Ketra - L'Esercito del Selfie ft. Lorenzo Fragola, Arisa

I don’t feel old but I’m definitely much older than you

I have a very good recollection of this edition as I was on hosting duties. I don't remember what else was going on in my life in 2015 though

It was a competitive edition with the lead changing hands between about 5 different nations throughout

Sadly "Song About Love" is at #45 on the All-Time PPJ list But the fact the song won TISC is a much bigger achievement anyway.

Meanwhile there are 40,000 people awaiting testing here. Good that we are testing so much but that backlog is worrying.

+91 now apparently.

It's likely to be a combination of increased testing and increased spread of the virus within the community.

USA +11,539 new cases today so far

Totallympics International Song Contest - Top 40 Chart Part II of today's TISC Top 40 edition features the songs with PPJ averages ranked #35 - #31 in the All-Time TISC list.... 35 Gary Barlow - Let Me Go 34 Volbeat - Cape Of Our Hero 33 Enrique Iglesias - Bailamos 32 Nek - Fatti Avanti Amore 31 Christina Grimmie - Feelin' Good

Totallympics International Song Contest - Top 40 Chart As we await the Festival of Music on Wednesday and indeed the TISC Annual Grand Final on April 11th, it is incredible to think that over 500 songs have now been showcased at TISC. In this series we will look at the Top 40 of TISC, the songs that proved to be a hit with the national juries and secured the highest points-per-jury averages. Each of the songs in this series have scored well over 100 points and are in the top 10% in terms of points-per-jury averages. How many songs from the latest edition of TISC (the 14th edition) will appear in the next update of the Top 40 remains to be seen. Today we begin with those songs in positions 40th - 31st on the All-Time list. Part I of today's edition (Positions #40 - #36), Part II (Positions #35 - #31). 40 Fito Paez - Mariposa Technicolor 39 Kelly Clarkson - A Moment Like This 38 Alok, Bruna Martini feat. Zeeba - Hear Me Now 37 Enya - Diamonds On The Water 36 Bryan Adams - Run To You

And this figure is still rising, currently at +6729 which surpasses the record set by Italy today for the most new confirmed cases in a day. Edit: It's now +7686
