Thank you to the six additional people who have voted since the other reminder. Now was originally the time that I would close the voting. However, I went into some computer troubles that I was able to resolve soon enough, but this caused everything to be delayed by a day. Hopefully, there are no more delays! You still have a chance to vote!

Congratulations to the winning song, artist, and user! Your entry is officially 2021's Song of the Year! Well done to the other nine entries as well. Your songs wouldn't have even been part of this event had you not won your original editions, a huge recognition in itself.

Please react responsibly with spoiler tags. I look forward to your reactions.

And that about wraps it up for 2021! Thank you everyone for being part of another successful year for NNMC. If you are interested, you can also check out my Top 50 NNMC songs of 2021 here or in the General Discussion thread.

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 2022. 
Confrimations for NNMC #61 will open on the 1st of January! Happy New Year, everyone!

I love 6 of these songs soooooo much <33333 so deciding a top 10 was difficult

[MaRtIn]

Apologies in advance for the potato quality of the scoreboard. A recording error in my part, but it's still readable hopefully.

[55] This ended up growing on me some time after it won, but I expected it to do horribly here against the other nine.
[57] This was a bit more unique song than "Time To Fly," so I see why it placed higher. Not as engaged as I am with most of the other songs though.
[52] Took a long time, but it did grow on me, too. Could've been higher imo.
[58] It grew off a little bit, but it still slaps, bops, bangs, twerks, and slaps again!
[53] Personality my least favorite. Compared to the other songs in this line-up, this is the least remarkable.
[60] The better Ukrainian winner imo. It deserves to be in the top half.
[51] Such an iconic winner (both in the score + the fact that it's Luxembourg). Embrace this accomplishment.

[59] ... kinda overrated. The two songs that placed below it are far superior to this, but congrats on placing 3rd.

[54] I thought this would win easily. But looking at the points distribution, it was divisive enough to hold it back from the top spot. Gosh darn it. A certified robbery. Nevertheless, "Aldama" is the most iconic winner in NNMC history (idc idc).

[56] Congratulations, Gregory! This is the second NNMC entry of yours that became a Song of the Year (the first being "Give It"). I was initially surprised at "Monogamy" doing well, but looking at how everyone voted, it turns out "Monogamy" was the... least offensive (?) entry in the line-up. I personally didn't see "Monogamy" as among the more memorable winners, so this revelation surprised me. A tiny minority ranked it in the bottom half (Chante being the biggest offender, the only user to give a 1). Because it was so consistently liked (and got the most 12's), it won! Yay!

I can't wait for next year. I look forward to building a new line-up of winners. See you in 2022!

Thank you very much for this Being 2nd place in this is crazy considering it was against 'the best of the best' So thank you everyone I'm more than happy for this, did much better than expected

Wish they did slightly better
Deserved place, I've been playing this song very often recently, wouldn't have minded if I ended 3rd and this 2nd
This is a nice winner, eventhough it wasn't my favorite I can see why it did so well and it's very well deserved, congrats

Also thanks MaRtIn for that, it means a lot, coming from the host of this contest and also thanks for hosting this every single month and doing an awesome job on it (along with your team ofc)
