7 Tiamat (217th)
6 The Black Dahlia Murder (261st)
1 Vomitory (1,613th)

[cowboy71]

Other details about the bands so far.

2011 repeats Ensiferum
2012 repeats Coroner, Eluveitie, Tiamat
2013 repeats Delain, Ensiferum, Subway to Sally
2014 repeats Gloryhammer
2015 repeats Ensiferium
2016 repeats Delain, Eluveitie, Subway to Sally

So we have 7 of the 12 that are repeats, 4 of which are multiple repeats, 1 of which (Ensiferum) will now be a four-timer.

An even spread of nations, with 8 different nations represented already.

4 bands with over 300,000 Last.fm listeners. The highest being Accept with 493,500.

5 with under 100,000 listeners, the lowest being Gloryhammer at 35,000.

Black Dahlia Murder are the darlings (or should I say DAHLings?) of social media with the most facebook likes at 1.1 Million.

Three under 100,00 likes with Vomitory at the bottom there with only 38,000.

As I already mentioned, Derdian are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, they have a fantastic new album called 'DNA', they would like to be on broad and I am requesting them since I had created my wishlist in 2012, before my very first cruise in 2013.

Here is a live video recorded few days ago in Japan:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okwCUhBlab8

For the story, they are in the Evoken Fest in Japan for the second year in a row and according what I read from their guitarist, they might go again to Japan the next year At this stage, they are not doing a lot of shows and only the Japanese fans are very lucky to see them live, never the rest of the world. Of course I am not sure that it deserve them to not do more shows, but please, add them for their 20th anniversary!!! Give a chance for the rest of the world to see them, at last!

As the owner of their fanclub on Facebook, I am asking you this in the name of all their fans (260 on the page actually)

Doing a quick comparison to the 2018 cruise.

2018 we had 21 of the top 100(ish) acts ending up on the lineup.

7 of the final acts had zero requests for them.

5 of the top 20 requested acts were on the lineup. Also this year at the 18 band mark, there were only 3 in the top 20, and already one (Gyze) that had zero requests.

Figures are higher this time around - cutoff for the 2018 list was 12 bands, with the most being (as always!) Amon Amarth with 61 requests.

[doomguy]

Adding CANDLEMASS to my wish list now that Johan Langquist is back in the band after a 32 year hiatus! !!!

Untrue,7 year hiatus,they forgot about 2012 cruise ,actually a downgrade I would have preferred Mats.

Technically he was a guest on the 2012 cruise, while Robert Lowe was the official vocalist at the time. Now he's back officially as their full time vocalist after a 32 year hiatus.
It's actually a major upgrade, I'm glad Johan is back.

Out of curiosity, do you have the total (or estimate at least) number of unique voters in this year's wishlist?

[mbob]

Bump

[mbob]

Bump again!

[cowboy71]

I should be able to come up with a fairly accurate figure :)

Can I be biased?

Lemi won, it's not even a city. It's near Lappeenranta but all credits to this town.

[FinnPete]

.....

[cowboy71]

OKAY - total number of unique accounts that have made requests here:

195

Now the combined wishlist I've done for 2019 does include a few requests from people on the facebook groups, and the 70k facebook page - not sure how many I got from there exactly, but wasn't too many as people were encouraged to come here :)

Am working on a much improved method for the 2020 of recording wishlists

So probably around 250 unique requestors I'd say.
