Aurora Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 Episode 8 Chart Analysis Welcome, artists. This episode you had the world within your grasp, and despite receiving seven wondrous singles, there's only room for 5 to move forward with Platinum Records at the end of this episode's chart analysis. Similar to last week, we will be announcing who is safe one by one until only three remain. Two will not be proceeding to Episode 9 of Platinum Hit: Stardom. @Kylie Jenner@Gastrodonatella@UFO@Achilles.@ceremonials@Citrus@minho
Aurora Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 First Place The first artist safe this week has proven to be a force to be reckoned with throughout the season. Never slipping from the Top 5, this artist is only the second of the season to have dual #1s. Congratulations to… @Gastrodonatella Your song "Starlight on the Ocean Floor" managed to top the charts in most regions globally, selling an impressive 8,760,000 PHU combined. Congratulations on your second #1 song this season!
Aurora Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 Second Place The second artist safe this week has also proven to be one to watch when claiming this season's crown. Also never slipping from the Top 5, this artist has had one of the best "declines" this season. Congratulations to… @Citrus Slipping 1-2, "Sulta" charted within the Top 3 globally, selling an impressive 8,070,000 PHU combined. Congratulations on your latest 8M+ seller!
Aurora Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 Third Place The third artist safe this week has been on the rise since the beginning of the tournament in acclaim and success. After first cracking the Top 5 (and Top 10) in Episode 4, this artist has never left the upper echelons of the charts. Congratulations to… @UFO Slipping 2-3, "Oblivion" was a global success, selling an impressive 7,324,000 PHU combined. Congratulations on your latest 7M+ seller!
Aurora Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 Fourth Place The fourth artist safe this week is, yet again, another artist who is no stranger to the top tier of the charts. Having debuted in and never left the Top 10, with only three stays outside the Top 5, this artist has to be one to watch. Congratulations to… @ceremonials Slipping 3-4, "Shadow of the Colossus" becomes your 5th Top 5 hit this season, selling 6,690,000 PHU combined. Congratulations on your latest hit!
Aurora Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 Fifth Place The fifth and final artist safe this week is a fantastic songwriter who has done amazingly in this tournament thus far. This description unfortunately applies to every one of you left, which makes the eliminations at this stage harder than ever. However, there can only be 5, and right now, 1 moving forward onto Episode 9 and the Top 5 of Platinum Hit: Stardom. Congratulations to… @minho Rising 7-5, "Tonight / Skeleton Flower (산하엽)" becomes your 7th Top 10 hit this season, selling 6,630,000 PHU combined. Congratulations! With sadness, that means I must announce @Kylie Jenner and @Achilles. as the artists that will be parting ways with Platinum Records this round. Kylie's Greek-influenced song "εξαιτίας σου" sold 6,105,000 PHU, while Jake's "Temple" burned up 5,400,000 PHU. You've both seen some amazing successes in this tournament, and we'd all love you both to stay active among the Discord community and keep on writing.

UFO Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 PH5 - Top 5 PH6 - Top 6 PH7 - Top 5 PH8 - Top 4 PH9 - Top 20 DH - Top 12 10.5 - Top 4 PH11 - Top 10 (Forced quit ) whew!!!!!!! my longevity. I'm so glad to have been able to make the Top 5 this season, I'd love to crack the Top 3... we'll see. There has been so much talent over the years and I've always thought I was sub-par, not even compared to others but how I saw myself. My first three seasons everything started off with a bang, I was very experimental and raw and very young. I finally had an outlet for everything. I was so uninspired during PH9/DH and shat out songs like turds like quick little hits except for the fact that they weren't hits (screaming), but ever since 10.5 I've been crafting songs that I'm so proud of. My own Renaissance To have participated in so many seasons already and to have still not fully showcased all of what I can do is exciting. It's been a whirlwind of a journey. The fact that I was originally going to quit in the first round of PH5 for confusing myself with timezones and yet............ now I'm here. This is very much a personal growth and success as much as it is a statistical one. 2017 was a TRAGIC year for me (and I've lost a lot this year - both good and bad), so for that tragedy to be turned into beautiful songs this season is just... very cathartic and gratifying for me. I feel like I still have yet to unlock my full potential but I have found a direction. I think, out of any season, this is my favourite collection of songs. They all deal with different themes yet are so cohesive, they are fantastical yet also hit close to home, very much like me. I've only ever had two #1s and a handful of #2s. I've never been in any PH finale (I'm the definition of falling before the last hurdle) so it'd be nice to reach it finally this season, but I've accomplished a lot already so I'm satisfied with whatever will be will be. If you've known me since early seasons, you know how far I've come. I've never been a frontrunner but I always remain persistent, despite all of the mess and self-destruction. I don't particularly have a strong, defined style so it's always been a toss-up with me so I'm legit in awe of my consistency - that I can do that. And the best part is: it's still not over. I wrote Oblivion predicting my downfall, that I'd get eliminated and yet - for the countless time - I've proved myself wrong. This is a testament to keep on going even if you can't foresee where you'll be arriving. It's very surreal, even though all of it is... real.
Kylie Jenner Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 I don’t have a soppy message just buy and stream YES by Louisa please. Critics praise the song because it’s very surreal, even though all of it is... real.

I feel like we've been on this journey together in some ways (with you having one more season than me under your belt) and couldn't be more proud that you've made the Top 5 yet again.

Please keep scalping (and also keep writing raps, those were )
Aurora Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 Episode 9: "A Sense of Success" Welcome back and congratulations to our Top 5 Artists. Thank you all for the time and energy you have put into writing some of the biggest hits Platinum Records has had the pleasure to produce. As we proceed with the final third of our search for Platvia's next Superstar, now is definitely the time to reflect on why you entered this tournament and channel all of your energy into achieving your goals. You are all so close. So close you can almost taste it… the scent of victory, the roar of the applause, the flashing lights and cameras, the hugs and handshakes from those congratulating you. That's exactly what we want you to channel this week. Each sense has the potential to transport you back to a specific place or time, recall a fond or unsavoury memory, or even help you relate to a scenario you've never experienced. Used in conjunction, the five senses help create the human experience. While it may not be needed, we've requested our social media bloggers compile a list of the Five Senses and provide a deeper analysis of them. Your challenge this episode is to write one song which utilises and stimulates the senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste in a creative way. We don't just want to read your songs this week, we want to experience them. Star Challenges ✪ Stimulate each of the five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste in multiple ways. ✪ Stimulate a combination of the five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste with a single lyric. We're aiming for a sensory explosion with this challenge, and we feel like you can all deliver! Songs due (via PM to @Aurora) by Wed. Jul 11, 10:59AM EST @Gastrodonatella@Citrus@UFO@ceremonials@minho Good luck!

Do what you gotta do sis! Thank you! I was so happy when I found out you won PH11 because you truly deserve it and I'd be lying if I said you and your songs didn't motivate me and inspire me to become better as a songwriter. Thanks again for the support I'll never forget it. and it's been a JOURNEY whew so many people have come and gone, but I'm still here sdlkfjdslkfj I did NOT lie when I said I would participate in every season Yggdrasil is still iconic
UFO Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 oh wow!!!!!! This is an interesting round. The way I've always wanted to write a song that dealt with all of the 5 senses and now I can. whew!!!!!!!!!!!! okay. This should be good. I usually incorporate the senses in my songs so and I'm very much a sensory person. inb4 I add a 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th sense dddddddddddddddd Taste is gonna be... interesting ffff I wish @Speezy was here, I feel like ha interpretation of this round would be innovative and ICONIC.

My sing "Aftertaste" from last season (and "Erased", the 8thPrince [RIP] song it was loosely inspired by) were very sensory-heavy imagery-based songs which I think would fit the requirements of this challenge.
