===WLSC #4===
Brughentwerp was debuting in the WLSC #4, and to keep it eurovision-spiritfull, we were sending Getter Jaani with a Estonian collegue of her. This song was not received very good by the other voters, because this song was already sent to two other contestes on Escforum, and so coming 11th in a field of 15. Actually we were 10th on a tie with Kobilich but with ties broken, we were 11th.
===WLSC #5===
For Brughentwerp's second entry, we went for something completely different & Nero was chosen internally to represent our country. Three songs were in the running for the spot in WLSC # 5, and these were, Promises, Me And You & Guilt. The last song made it finally because of the national succes of this song and because of the very provocative videoclip. The song didn't do bad or good with coming 9th in a field of 17. This was the second time we ended on a tie, this time with Illumnia
===WLSC #6===
Over here they say, thirth time, good time and this was applicable. After searching for a strong-ballad, Lena Katina came out with Never Forget to participate. She went to second place with just one point difference to Aspirinia, who was, you'll never believe, the 12-pointer of Brughentwerp thirth time in a row. So this was a sort of win & lose situation at the same time. The top five had a very little pointdifference with the first place having 100 points, second place & thirth place 99 (Brughentwerp was second with the ties broken, making Territrius thirth) and fourt & fifth place 98 points. This made the voting worth watching to until the very end. This was the thirth time in a row Brughentwerp ended on a tie, doesn't deserve this a little applaus.
===WLSC #7===
With some political problems in the country, BGW-TV hadn't much time to search for a great entry because they had to focus more on political programs & debates and such shows. So they just let everyone who wanted to participate send their entry. In the end, Joe Jonas came out as the winner & represented Brughentwerp in Aspirinia. Less effort means less points & Brughentwerp had it's worst result untill then with a 13th place in a field of 15.
===WLSC #8===
BGW-TV had sent a picture of the frontman from Hooverphonic as a hint to what was coming for WLSC #8 but in the end Brughentwerp chose for a national final because the Brughentwians wanted one because of the disapointing results. It was the first time that a national final was used to chose a candidate to represent Brughentwerp. After eight of the ten voters voting, Sara Bareilles was still first with a big lead, but in the last two votings, Birdy came up again and went straight for the first place. After an exciting voting in the host country, Sunoria, Birdy & her cover of Bony Iver's song Skinny Love came out as the winner of WLSC #8.
Draw	Artist 	Song 	Place
1 	Birdy 	Skinny love 	1st (81)

4 	Sylwia Grzezczak	Male Rzeczy 	3th (44)
5 	Tao Hypah 	Celeb 	4th (40)
===WLSC #9===
After the success that the National Final of WLSC #8 brought to Brughentwerp, the same method was chosen to select the candidate for WLSC #9. Nero from WLSC #5 tries again with this time 'Crush on you'. This time there were again ten voters, and the scoreboards were split up in three scoreboards with three or four voters per board. After the first scoreboard, Kelly Clarckson & Skylar Grey were winning to pass the throne to Pixie Lott & Pusha T. after the second scoreboard. Kelly Clarckson remained high placed. In the last scoreboard, Underdogs Tom Dice & Elisa Tovati and Florence + The Machine rised up high to take the first & second place. Unfortunately, on the forums, it was discorvered that in the time before Brughentwerp was competing, in WLSC #2 to be exact, this song was already used thus disqualifying this song. Runner-up Florence + The machine became the candidate of Brughentwerp. Florence + The Machine performed proudly the host nation & became 5th in a field of 18.

===WLSC #10===
With giving the highest places for Brughentwerp & high viewing figures, BGW-TV organised again a National Final, but a little one because of the savings they have due to the costs of hosting WLSC #9. There were ten voters in total and with 26 out of 30 possible points, Kato won. She went trough to Singeneria, winning the big title of WLSC #10 also. This was the fourth time top 5, and the second win, in seven participations.

Due to hosting WLSC #11, BGW-TV hadn't time left to make an National Final and internal selected Niki & The Dove with her song The Drummer to participate in WLSC #11 in her own country. She got a respected place in Antsel and was honoured to lose from 12-pointer Illumia.
===WLSC # 12===
Brughentwerp tried once again with a national final at WLSC #12. The intrest in the national final was high in the country itself but abroad much less with only four voters. There was a tie between the 3th, 4th & 5th place and all of these were broken by the votes of Brughentwerp. In the end, Kimbra won with a huge lead, going to Illumia with proud.

===WLSC # 13===
Wanting to do great once again, the Brughentwerpian people chose in a poll Bon Iver as composer & lyrics-writer for WLSC #13's entry. And thus he came with the magnificent song, Holocene. As he's the perfect singer also for doing this song, BGW-TV said he could go sing this song. The update of the music charts after this new, saw three of his songs rising. The entry, Holocene rised from 8th to 1st and Calgary from 46th to 23th. His original version of Skinny Love re-entered the chart to place 32, do did the version from Birdy being 29th. Bon Iver went to Gringotts to get a very disappointed tenth place.
===WLSC # 14===
For this edition, Brughentwerp is sending something native again, with Selah Sue being a big star here & also abroad. With vocal support from Tom Barman & musical support from the Subs, they made an old Belgian classic rise to fame again, Zanna. After being out of the top five after being there for five consecutive times, Selah Sue & the others brought Brughentwerp there again, giving a bronze place in the end, which that Selah repeted in WLSC #15.
===WLSC # 15===
The people from Brughentwerp went back to roots for edition and had a Belgian national final. In the list of participants we see Selah Sue back from WLSC #14. After a long voting, with K3 - Eyo at the top for the half of the time, Bab & Selah Sue ended on a tie. As the last voter only voted a half hour before the end, BGW-TV asked a consultant (A good friend of the president) to also give his votes and thus break the ties. In the end Selah Sue won, being the first participant of Brughentwerp to come back, also in a consecutive time. This National Final saw a record of voters, 13 in total.

===WLSC # 16===
With the successes that National Finals always bring to Brughentwerp in the back of our mind, BGW-TV gave a more international NF with artists spread all over the world. After an exciting voting with the winner just having one point less as the runner-up, the song Bedroom Eyes & the artist of it became the entry of BGW-TV for WLSC #16. Brughentwerp became fifth. This time in Antsel, hometown of the Dum Dum Girls (Brughentwerp was hosting as the Top 4 didn't want to)

In the end she was fifth with 66 points.
===WLSC # 18===
To keep the musicshows coming, BGW-TV held an National Final again for WLSC #18. 9 nations voted and in the end after a long battle between Eternity & Zero Gravity, Melodi numbra 5, Eternity, won and got the honour to go to the capital of Illumia.

===WLSC # 19===
Staying in the mythical and ultranaturious environment, like in the clip of 'Eternity (Brughentwerp #18) We chose Kyla La Grange with Vampire Smile to represent us. In the end we came fourth, and we were in the top 10 for the 12th time in a row.
===WLSC # 20===
After a long time of thinking, BGW-TV realized that they should go back to sending good music instead of stuff of which they thought of it'd win the contest.
Soooo... Brughentwerp is coming back with a real singer, with a real song, with a kind of purity & a feeling of human recognition in it.
She's not famous at all but we hope that she'll get famous sometime around because she really deserves it. Shannan Stone with Love In A Bottle represented Brughentwerp on a honest way and got an ultragood second place.
===WLSC # 21===
For the 21st edition, the radios were in gear for searching the most qualitative mainstream song played a lot. The search was long but they found Gossip after a while. Gossip was making a comeback with the song Perfect World, and they used WLSC as the medium to do that. With Gossip Brughentwerp came second for the consecutive time.
===WLSC # 22===
After three internal chosed songs Brughentwerp organized a national final again. In the national final we see CocoRosie returning (NF WLSC 16) just like Ayah Marar (NF WLSC 10). CocoRosie had the same draw as then, the fifth place. They became third with that, also in a field of six. The others are all rather new to the Brughentwerpian music scene. In the end, with only five voters, V V Brown won with Shark In The Water. There was a tie on the last place, but Krezip was last because The Milk got higher points from Brughentwerp.

===Worst Song 2===
After a long decision of three minutes, a Brughentwerpian panel of tramps chose their son Raymond to sing a song about his most beloved item in his life. Raymond became 18th in a field of thirty with 49 points.
===Minority Languages Spinoff===
Brughentwerp chose their song internally. Any song in East-Flemish could be send to BGW-TV, who after that chose out of those songs the best three, whichout a panel of music experts chose the best. There were in total only 52 songs sent but BGW-TV said to be excited about the song going to Dal Riata in one of the local languages.
===Eurovision Song Contest 2012===
In a poll in the most read Brughentwerpian newspaper, Joan Franka was chosen as Brughentwerpian favourite of Europe's most watched musical competition. As The Netherlands were still unchosen for the Spinoff, Brughentwerp attended with it. In the end they ended on a tie 3rd place, but with ties broken we were 4th.
===WLSC Congratulations===
Florence + The Machine were internally chosen by Bon Iver, the Brughentwerpian president, to represent us on this glorious first time of WLSC Congratulations. This, again, was a wise choice from Bon, as we came in first. This was our best Spinoff result until then.

==Flag Change and the Broadcaster==
Since the rise of Brughentwerp, the native people were never that happy by the flag we had. After a lot of quarrels on BGW-TV 1, BGW-TV 2 and in the national government, Bon Iver, the Brughentwerpian pride, was asked to make a design for a new flag. While WLSC #18 was running, with Brughentwerp's old flag, there was a national referendum wanting the people to choose between the old flag & Bon Iver's design. In the end 28.329.000 persons came to vote (Children from 6 years and older were also allowed) , representing 88,6% of the total of people. 20.432.900 (72,13%) persons choose the new design above the old one while 7.896.100 (27,87%) wanted to keep the original flag. So since WLSC #19, Bon Iver's design is in use as the Brughentwerpian flag.
Since the existance of Brughentwerp, BGW-TV always have been the broadcaster for WLSC & NSC. In the beginning BGW-TV never had a logo, until WLSC #21. After the latest rants about the flag-change, they decided to use both parts of the old and new flag into the finally being made logo of BGW-TV. The symbol of fury was used of the new flag and the colour pattern of the old flag for the letters.
