12 - Jersey - 2/3s of its points.
10 - Morocco - Slightly over half.
5 - Norway
4 - Malta - Nearly half of its points.
3 - Croatia - All of its points!
1 - England

12 Qualified
10 Qualified
08 Qualified
07 Qualified
06 Crimea - Wasn't expecting this to qualify but it should've imo, is really good and by far the best Ukraine/Crimea or even Russia have provided this year. I gave this just under half of its points though.
05 Belarus - Again, wasn't expecting this to qualify but it's really good.
04 Qualified
03 Morocco - Another one I wasn't expecting to qualify but definitely deserved to.
02 Jersey - Not surprised but still disappointed.
01 Malta - This deserved to make it but again not surprised, just sad that Lauren may not get another chance at DSFE. Would've given this more but I really liked this QF which is why I'm even more annoyed at these results.
11th Belgium - I'm surprised by this, ranked it lower because I thought it was a certain qualifier, sorry Alex.
12th Croatia - This did not deserve last, I wish I'd given this points because it's another song I love.
13th Norway - Meh, shocked it didn't make it but I can't say I'm all that disappointed for it compared to other songs.
14th Azores - Kika was robbed.
15th Qualified
16th England - Thought this was a definite qualifier so I'm surprised by this too.
17th Qualified
18th Qualified
19th Qualified
20th Qualified
21st Qualified
22nd Qualified

Most of my lower countries I understand qualifying but I don't really get how that Albanian abomination beat Dua let alone at least 10 other songs in this QF. Sorry Gwen, hopefully my love for some of your other entries will make up for it. <3

And I'm through with Kaliningrad, didn't expect that

NQ Votes:

England
Other than that, good results again. Though, I see some countries that made it that might get dislikes from others.

Previously on Carlisle's Next Top Song of 2016...
Spoiler


Carlisle's Top 50 Songs of 2016 - 15 to 11
15 - France: Marina Kaye - Freeze You Out - 4th in Christchurch - BethnalGreen
You know when you get given a song by Sia to record that it's going to be amazing. I won't lie, I do prefer the Sia version of this song but Marina is still smashing it.

14 - Bulgaria: Ruth Koleva - Run - 6th in Horny Bar/****ing - ChickenFromKiev
Really like this and 'Oceans' is really good too. Ruth is probably the best Bulgarian talent exposed this year (behind Queen Poli of course). The video for this always makes me laugh with the samurai lol but the chorus is sublime. This marks CFK's final song to appear on my list.

13 - Ireland: Gavin James - Bitter Pill - 3rd in Bucharest - MiesBouwman
This song is so perfect and I'm grateful to Mies for introducing me to the beautiful soulful sound of Gavin James. His other song was SO good too but disgustingly underappreciated. I remember in the contest it was this + Happy Little Pill competing for my 12 points every round haha. Promise I ain't no druggy x

12 - Spain: Alvaro Soler - Sofia - 7th in Ny Alesund - BethnalGreen
I was LIVID when this got entered because I had Andorra that same contest and Beth had beat me to the punch with this AND to make it worse then my backup song by Barei flopped in the Semi's... It's alright Beth, I don't hold grudges! Unfortunately this does mark Beth's highest ranked song of the year in my rankings though. Hot Spanish guy - check. Catchy song that makes my foot tap - check. A smile that makes me blush - check. This guys got it all and I'm totally not still upset that Beth got this song before me...

11 - Belgium: Selah Sue - Fear Nothing - 6th in Pisa - Alexos
The third 2016 DSFE titan to fall in this group of 5 ... Alex's highest ranked song in my eyes of the year is this Selah Sue number. I've never cared for any of her previous songs and even now her voice does grate a little bit ... BUT the chorus in this song is so passionate and fabulous that it has propelled this song very high in my rankings. It just got my 12 in its CofC QF so I'm sad that it hasn't qualified!!

So we are down to my Top 10

Under the spoiler tag are the 8 forum members who have songs in my Top 10. Sorry to those who missed out.

I don't see three DSFE titans falling in that post?

I was really pleased when I found Run so I'm glad it was appreciated! Can guess one of the songs in your top 10 for sure, think I've got a second but I've got no idea on any of the others so it'll be interesting to see what you've got.

I struggle to see myself as a titan but thank you.

The Wyvern Lingo song is the one I'm sure about, and I think Izin Korem is in there as well but not completely sure. Not sure about the others as I said.

Thanks for hosting this QF.

Could you PM me the results of the qualifiers so I can use them to seed the SFs.

YAAS at a Top 10 in someones rankings. I think my entry is one of four, them being

Norway - Astrid S - Hurts So Good. (Should have blinking won! I still have no idea how that didn't win rather than "Maze")
San Marino - Annalisa - Se Avessi un Cuore. (How this was not Top 10 escapes me)
Åland Islands - Nää yöt ei anna armoo (But Million Eyes has already featured and you would have given it 12 so not that then)
Tasmania - The Veronicas - In My Blood (but I doubt it is that)

So I actually think it is San Marino or Norway.

You may or may not have a place in my top 5 too.
