Hello everyone and welcome to my one-off song selection for SCS, Neptune Calling! You might remember the artist MADAME NEPTUNE from their participation in my preselection for SCS 39, in which they came second place to eventual SCS winner Florence and the Machine. Since their competing song "The Banshee" seemed to be relatively well-received among this community, I decided to host a song selection for all 5 of their officially released songs! Before we continue, here's a short description of Madame Banshee that I definitely didn't copy and paste from their YouTube bio:

MADAME NEPTUNE is a two piece art project. While Madame Neptune, a gifted medium, struggles from her past, her devastating dreams and the urge to stop the wrong prophets and false fortunetellers, her own story seems to be a bit complicated and complex. Behind a wall of dark thoughts and translucent memories, lost feelings and melancholic pictures in her head, she is able to help people with her visions but her past is an unsolvable puzzle. Urok also dreams. But all he can hear is Neptune´s voice - and he will follow this voice. His resurrection is lead by a craving for independence, power and emotions. Once they meet, they both will find something they did not want to find.

Anyways, here are the competing songs! (And here's a recap)

1. He Rises

2. Spell On You

3. Shine

4. The Ghost In Me

5. The Banshee

Vote here!

On Sunday, the weekly song contest "Song Contest Sunday" will begin and you will have the chance to participate in it! Simply leave a song you like in the comments and we will add it to the lineup of Song Contest Sunday! You will be mentioned in said post so you can vote in it. This is a great opportunity to discover new songs, share songs you like, or see how much your music taste is liked!

If you can, you can also provide the following things alongside your song:

• Link to the song
• Share the best part of the song as a recap (ideally with timestamps, 25-35 seconds long)

And if this edition of Song Contest Sunday has semifinals, the new entry of SCS Newbies' winner u/Doggo_of_dogs will qualify automatically to the final.

Have fun sharing songs!

Rules

Rule 1: No ESC Winners
Songs that won Eurovision since 1956 cannot be submitted.

Rule 2: No past SCS-entries

Songs that have already participated in SCS in the past are not allowed in the contest. Check out the SCS Wiki Page, which includes all the songs that have participated in SCS.

Rule 3: English Songs (Non-Bubble Artists Only)

For English songs by artists outside the Eurovision Bubble (See FAQ):

• Over 10M YouTube subscribers? Song must have <10M views (top version).
• Over 7M subscribers? Song must have <50M views.
• Over 5M subscribers? Song must have <100M views.

Rule 4: Recent ESC and National Final songs

Songs that

• Participated in the Eurovision Song Contest from 2021 onwards
• Participated in a National Final for the Eurovision Song Contest in 2025 and 2026

are not allowed on the contest, as the majority of present users might know them already, defeating the contest's purpose of sending and discovering new music

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 10th of May 00:00 CET will not be considered for SCS. Please share your songs before that point!

If you decide to participate, please note the following schedule if you'd like to follow the contest! You will also be mentioned in the post if you submit an entry, but we are not quite sure how mentioning works yet, so don't rely on it!
