Overplayed? Out of curiousity: where? :d 

On the mainstream radios everywhere (incl. my workplace). I can't really turn it off unless I put earphones on, but I can't do that for the whole day either.

 

Sure, one can argue that this should not matter, but for me it does. It's all part of the game. Surely one must anticipate this possibility when they enter a global radio hit.

It's funny. I'm usually not one of those who vote for mainstream music in TISC, but Blinding Lights is really one of very few popular songs that gets to me. Can't say why, but I really enjoy it.

It was even no. 1 on my list after first listen, but lost a bit when I got to listen to the other songs. Meanwhile NZ really raced up the rankings (think I had it in the low points at first)

And suck it, Otters :raspberry:

Netherlands strikes first in the top 5 kerfuffle. Can’t beat Italy, needs Israel and the US to remain scoreless here.

Interesting, I had never even heard of this singer, let alone heard this song anywhere. I thought it was someone not at all known outside of Ireland :yikes: 

 

And no, being overplayed shouldn't matter, but I completely understand when it does because it's often the same for me :p

But she finished in 3rd....rather far behind the Chinese who won with a world record....

(And yes this page is for the current event since it's still called 2020 like the Olympics, apparently)

 

How on earth can anyone describe that as an almost certain gold medal? :yikes: 

Because everyone else has has a much much bigger difference between 1st and 2nd. 15-40kgs. If chinese don't have sizeable  lead in both snatch and CJ they can't make it to a team which only chooses sure gold medalists which are already 5. It'll be 55,87,+87 for sure. Choice is between 64 and 76 with N korea withdrawn in 76.This wasn't the best snatch for the Indian so add 4kg there and 3kg in CJ so china can't opt a risk when 5 golds is being served to them to choose 4
