Aurora Posted July 29, 2018 Author Posted July 29, 2018 okay okay okay now it's time for the big reveal. who's ready?
Aurora Posted July 29, 2018 Author Posted July 29, 2018 Fourth Place The time has come to announce the fourth place finalist. No matter which artist's name I announce below, we know you're one of the best writers Platinum Hit has had the pleasure to cross paths with and we've loved reading your songs this season! Congratulations to… @minho TOTAL ALBUM SALES: 34,715,000 PHU There really aren't enough words to describe how much we've all enjoyed your participation in this season. You may have been a late joiner in Episode 2, but that certainly didn't stop you from being the first to notch multiple #1 hits and deliver other cult classics that will be remembered amongst your best in Season 7, the season which you, um, won? I'll never forget "Dream in a Dream", "Day One" and "Sentimental", which were some of my favourite songs all season.
Hug Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 minho joins the prestigious multi-finale club <3 we love LEGENDS

Aurora Posted July 29, 2018 Author Posted July 29, 2018 ? Third Place ? Making a finale is an achievement in itself, but taking home the Bronze Medallion of all this season's 42 hopefuls is nothing short of an amazing feat. This artist has been involved in Platinum Hit for some time now and I don't see them going anywhere anytime soon. Congratulations to… @ceremonials TOTAL ALBUM SALES: 35,408,500 PHU You've become somewhat of a poster child for Platinum Hit improvement in the past few seasons. From your humble beginnings in Platinum Hit 8 where you were cut by Round 5 to debuting at #1 in Diamond Hit to making your first finale and making a STRONG effort for the crown in Season 12. I'm not sure I can recall someone who has achieved so much and continually bested themselves practically every season but you've certainly managed to do just that. Even more impressive, you did so while sticking to your own goal of writing a cohesive, video-game inspired soundtrack this season and managed to add another #1 to your PH resume.
Aurora Posted July 29, 2018 Author Posted July 29, 2018 ? Winner & Runner-Up ? The ultimate moment of truth. This one needs no introduction. We all knew it was coming down to this battle. With 2 #1s each in this finale, @UFO and @Gastrodonatella really gave the gays record executives everything they could want this finale. But who did better? It's almost unfair to compare them, but there can only be one winner. Congratulations to… The winner of Platinum Hit 12: Stardom… Flying high on a cloud of gas… Is it a bird, is it a plane, is it a Tori Kelly or Christina Aguilera stan?… Did their paper lanterns fly like candles in the sky or fall into oblivion… The winner is… @Gastrodonatella TOTAL ALBUM SALES: 38,185,000 PHU YOU ARE OFFICIALLY THE TWELFTH WINNER OF PLATINUM HIT! (thirteenth including PH10.5) What a fitting result, a hot mess of an ATRLer for a hot mess of a season. You deserve every bit of this win, from snapping with the SOTS "Eden" so early on, to your continual Top 5 streak, your #risky entires with unconventional structures and even deeply personal subject matters you knew you had to share (even if you wouldn't let us review them). Every PH "rule" you set out to break with a badass energy, but when it came time to deliver, you also showed you've still got that amazing, meter-perfect, imagery-overload style we first associated you with and truly adored. Congratulations!! @UFO TOTAL ALBUM SALES: 37,080,000 PHU This was truly, truly a battle for the ages and I am SO proud to announce you as the runner-up for this season. It's astonishing to me that this was your first finale after 9 seasons competing since you're without a doubt one of the most well known, well loved and talented Platinum Hitters we've ever had the pleasure to know. Your personality is infections and your songs always serve next-level and over-the-top with a hint of insanity that is just so intrinsically YOU. It was a tug-of-war between first place this season and although you ended up on the wrong side of the win, you've achieved more this season that I'm sure even you could have hoped for, winning half of the finale challenges and snatching two iconic #1 songs. "Gaia" was your "Wide Awake" or "Bad Romance", a truly robbed #1 that would have done so in any other episode, as was "Rings of Saturn" which had the unfortunate competitor of "Eden", the Song of the Season. "Becoming Human" also received THREE TENS, more than any other song in the finale, and was definitely up there for being one of the best songs I've had the pleasure to read for Platinum Hit. Congratulations!
Hug Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 Wow, to think he did this in his debut season. Amazing! Congrats @Gastrodonatella Also well done @UFO you always had an interesting, unique spin on things and I appreciated it so much.

Aurora Posted July 29, 2018 Author Posted July 29, 2018 ? Song of the Season ? Following the announcement of the winner of Platinum Hit, let us take a moment to appreciate the Song of the Season, which was written by our winner… although, it's not the song you may have thought it would be. Surpassing his own previous Song of the Season contender "Eden", which held the title since its creation in Episode 2, please welcome the new HBIC, "Paper Lanterns", which sold an astounding 9,460,000 PHU in the finale (a 9.46 score). @Gastrodonatella – "Paper Lanterns" Verse 1 The harvest moon is said to rise before the sun descends Like lovers dancing in the sky until the evening ends Legends say that when it bathes the ocean in its light If lovers kiss beneath the glow their souls are bound for life You walked me to the harbor with our lantern in your hands We joined the crowd of travelers from all across the land Each couple brings an offering to light the starless sky And ventures out to sea to fill the sky with candlelight Chorus We sailed beneath the paper lanterns scattered in the sky Like stars that we could touch every time they passed us by Their radiance was like a piece of heaven to behold They turned the ocean’s waves into a sea of liquid gold Verse 2 My head was on your shoulders as we watched the setting sun Waiting for the rising moon to make our spirits one Autumn’s breath was blowing through your locs of auburn hair As incense mingled with the scent of rich September air The lilac sky was tinted by a light on the horizon Golden waves were sparkling as the harvest moon was rising The setting sun caressed the moon and showered it in light Reflecting on the ocean like a mirror to the sky Chorus We sailed beneath the paper lanterns while the full moon rose The evening sky was flooded with its luminescent glow Its radiance was like a piece of heaven to behold Its pale reflection cast upon the waves of liquid gold Bridge You ran your fingers through my hair as I laid on your chest My heart beat to the rise and fall of every gentle breath Your ivory skin was coated with a touch of ocean mist You glistened in the evening as the moonlight hit your skin You wrapped your arms around me and you flashed a dimpled smile We drifted through the golden waves that seemed to span for miles The harvest moon was out, and the mood was finally set You pulled me closer for a night we wouldn’t soon forget Chorus We sailed beneath the paper lanterns scattered in the sky Reflections of their embers danced like stars inside our eyes The harvest moon had risen on a sea of liquid gold I closed my eyes and kissed you with its moonlight in my soul
